It is The Serious Dangers of Kidney and Liver Neglect Doctor says not one person in a hundred knows how to flush the kidneys thoroughly, nor how to stimulate and cleanse the liver properly. Not one in five hundred over the age of forty does either of these often enough. Tells how anyone can canity take, in the privacy of hi* ovn home, i it eonpe of mineral water treatment Hhieh in the equivalent oi that bv visitor* at world-famous health resort*. loader aay neea of journey ins: to expensive hot .sprint;*. Any riruicitlKt eaa HUI ply at slight eo.nt the oaly iimreilients neee.snary ior pre paring .similar alkaline niedielnal water. Numerous pain and disease causing impurities which clog the organs of liltration ure always acidulous! there fore the drinking of strongly alkaline hot water offers the best and only logical means of neutralizing and washing them out. Remember that the waters of such world-famous medicinal springs as those at Chatel Guyon, Vichy, Contrcxeville, Kvian, Yittcl, 15ms, Carlsbad, Weisbaden, Marienbad. and others equally celebrated, but now mostly inaccessible, due to the war, are all Ktronifly alkaline. This is the secret of their won derful effects, but no one need go to the trouble and expense of journey ing to any of them now. Similar alkaline medi cinal water can easily bo prepared at home and at trifling cost. An occa sional course of treat ment consisting of a tumblerful of this water (prepared as directed be- low) taken before breakfast and also once or twice during the day, lon about a week, will prove a good investment for a,nyone regardless of age or physical condition. When we consider the thousands who have visited the various famous spas above referred to and the marvelous re sults there produced, nothing further need lie said about the merits ot alkaline water as compared with pow . rt'iil drugs, noxious medicines, nerve <l< pressing salts and bromides or any other form of treatment. The effects of neglecting a torpid, sluggish liver and the impure blood alwavs resulting therefrom are too well known to require extensive men tion here. Biliousness, headache, of fensive breath, skin diseases, bad complexion, low vitality, defective A ision, stomach trouble, nervousness and catarrh are some of the unmis takable symptoms. As for neglecting to thoroughly flush out the kidneys occasionally, this is not only likely to jesult sooner or later in backache, rheumatism, uric acid disorders, etc., tint if continued long enough it is even capable of bringing 011 such dreaded maladies as Dropsy, Bright's Disease or Diabetes. Other serious results may be kidney and bladder stones which arc formed by the crys tallization of uric acid, urates or oth er salts. This is due to the lack of Kiitriclcnt alkaline elements to keep the urft acid dissolved, and it there iore is not expelled. (Sail stones may also bo produced by inflammation of tlie gall bladder changing the bile so tliat certain component elements be come insoluble. These stones by blocking up the bile duct or grinding back and forth cause acute agony. With such developments us Dropsy, will prove a simple matter for any- Hright's Disease, Diabetes, Stones, one to try this remarkable effective Gravel, etc., it is not my purpose to method of home treatment. CATARRH New and Curious Remedial Discovery That Never Fails to Give Immediate Results Here is a safe and easy method for getting at catarrh that invariably surprises* chronic sufferers because of the immediate and pleasing effects it produces. There is no waiting for results. Just to cite an instance, take the experience of Mr. 11. Elser, Lexington, Neb., who writes: "Dear Sam Kat*: I received your catarrh treatment, and in two days my catarrh was gone. 1 am now cured." The Sam Katz method which this gentleman and thousands of others have used, is different from anything you havo ever known of. There is nothing to smoke, spray or inject; no salves, creams, vibration or massage. Everything WT about it. is natural and healthful. The exact remedial combination of this method is KiiMMTOWSjssSgo n secret known only to myself'and my associates, Jffitoir. iwjSSf* ;i 11 luiught I will say this much: it is based on the modern scientific discovery that the disease K .%t all germs causing catarrh must he destroyed a d,l \M mid dislodged from the Infected tissue in Ml tt; I order to effect a radical and permanent fe BJ j j Banish Your Catarrh I 11® \m {B \ Restore Your Health J and Organic Vitality F | t'atarrh. as you know, gradually works f R| 1H %% Si I downward from the nose, throat and head, I 1)1, AKg - | m JWI 1 through the entire system, doing daniuge 1 J Ml/ '' j/M \ I every where.

THOUSANDS ENROLL AS SHIPWORKERS By Associated Press Washington, Feb. 21. Prelimi nary estimates of the results of the campaign to enroll 250.000 sliipwork ers show the number sought will be much exceeded and that thousands of union men have joined without re striction against working with unor ganized workers. deal here. If their existence is even suspected, they should receive the personal attention of a good physi cian or surgeon without delay, for delav may be dangerous and any at tempt at self-treatment is to be strongly deprecated. It is only with their prevention that we havo to deal here ,and obviously the most logical way to prevent them is by regularly and thoroughly cleansing the entire system of the constantly developing impurities and poisons. Call these mi crobes, bacilli, toxins, bacteria, stomach acids, uric acid or by any other names you like, but they are all simply poisons or body impurities whi c h form the primary cause of organic or other di seases. It is only when you neglect the organs of filtration and excre t tion, however, that the , impurities remain in the > body long enough to do serious harm. Of course Typical specimen* of uric acid crystal*, highly niaitnittrd. .\o wonder they hurt! it is trlue that in many cases there seems to be almost 110 limit to the amount of neglect and abuse the kid neys and liver, for instance, will pa tiently bear until we reach the age of about forty. But after that there frequently seems to be no limit to the amount of pain and tr.ouble they are capable of causing, including various associated disorders which are seldom even attributed to deranged kidneys or liver. It is a simple matter for anyone to prepare at home, strongly alkaline medicinal water which contains es sential mineral constitutents similar to those found in the waters ot vari ous celebrated mineral springs. druggist can supply at slight cost these same medicinal elements (as accurately ascertained by chemical analysis) already compounded in just the right proportions and in the form of an immediately soluble powder. The compound is well known to drug gists and prescribed by doctors as re fined alkia saltrates (powder form). Merely dissolve a level teaspoonful in a tumbler of hot water, and drink as I have already directed above. This pleasant tasting natural medicinal alkaline drink will promptly dissolve, neutralize and wash out tile painful and disease causing poisons or harm ful body acids. It is astonishing to note how quickly aches or pains then disappear and how soon a state of ab solutely perfect physical health and fitness may be attained. Among local druggists who have been found on in quiry to carry the alkia saltrates compound in stock are Keller's Drug Store, O. A. Gorgas, Clark's Medicine Store, H. C. Kennedy, therefore it RAILROAD FREIGHT TRAFFIC NEARING NORMAL Yards at Northumberland Are Starting One Hundred Trains Daily Northumberland. Pa., Feb. 21. Freight movement out of the huge Pennsylvania railroad classification yards here is rapidly approaching the normal. Embargo on freight for points west of Altoona has been lifted and more than fifty locomo tives have been commandeered from other roaus at the direction of Di rector C3eer.ral McAdoo. At the pres ent time, it was stated to-day, more than 5,000 cars loaded with essen tials leave the yards every day. Much of this is coal. While freight congestion is clear ing up wonderfully, there still re main thousands of cars in the yards and on extended sidings. One of the drawbacks, it was said. In clearing: up the jam Is the congestion on other lines. Some roads, according to officials, are iri such a congested condition that they are unable to accept cer tain freight from the Pennsylvania, and as a result they eventually lifld their way Into the Northumberland yards to await orders. Many Train* Dally Thawing weather of the past week haa b< en ;i considerable ii to these jailic admen in opening - this channel of traffic. Just now 100 trains leave this yard each day. These trains are laden with a great variety of cargoes, including" practically every one of the essentials needed in the prosecution of the war. Such ship ments arc always given the right of way. No estimate could be obtained of the number of cars sidetracked and in the yards. ltailroad officials stated, however, that employes are and have been doing their best in promoting efficiency here under the greatest burden ever shifted on the yard in its history. As evidence of this, they pointed out the gradual decreasing amount of freight held cn sidings and the general increase in the amount of freight handled. Husky Athletes Train Big M. P.

Gorgas. whom you all know is authorized to say to every rheuma tic sufferer in this vicinity that If two bottles of Allenrhu. the sure con querer of rheumatism, does not stop all agony, reduce swollen joints and do away with even the slightest twinge of rheumatic pain, he will gladly return your money without comment. Allenrhu has been tried and tested for years, and really marvelous re sults havo been accomplished in the most severe cases where the suffering and agony was Intense and piteous and where the patient was helpless. Allenrhu relieves at once. Imme diately after you start to take it the good work begins. It searches out the uric acid deposits, dissolves the secre tions and drives rheumatic poison out of the body through the kidneys and bowels. It's marvelous how quickly it acts. Blessed relief often comes in two davs, and even in cases where the suf fering is most painful all traces dis appear in a few days. Mr. James H. Allen, the discoverer of Allenrhu, who for many years suf fered the torments of acute rheuma tism, desires all sufferers to know that he does not want a cent of anyone's money unless Allenrhu decisively con quers this worst of all diseases, and he has instructed Geo. A. Gorgas to guarantee it in every instance. Ilr. Howard always recommended Oxidaze for Coughs, Colds, Br.

OPERATION OF PLANT IMPROVES Better Weather Conditions Enable Officials to Get Reserve Supply-of Fuel Relief in the severe cold weather has greatly improved the operation of the local steel plant, according to an official this morning. Much im provement In the daily shipments in coal is obvious. Although danger of a coal shortage not passed, a re serve supply sufficient for several days is kept on hand at the plant. During the severe weather It was im possible to keep a day's supply on hand. Commenting on the conditions among steel plants in Eastern Penn sylvania, the Iron Age to-day says: "By tile end of the week .the steel industry bids fair to be operating at eighty per cent, of capacity. Im provement has not come to mills uniformly, for in Eastern Pennsylva nia operations dropped last week to a ten per cent, basis, and fuel sup plies have since been little bettered. Increased activity under the limita tions of inadequate motivepower are expected to be only gradual. In roads have been made on the great stocks of finished, product' which have blocked mill space for some time, and general domestic business now waits on how much mill ca pacity will exceed Government re quirements. "Echoes of the trying- period will be heard for some time. One mill suffered ninety per cent, rejections of full operation on' specification shippiates, owllig to using a high sulphur coal. Shipbuilding and oth er activities on the Pacific coast are now feeling the effect of the holdup of rail shipments, and urgent re quests are made for speeding ship material westward. Delays in get ting shell-forging plants equipped and in getting steel to existing plants leave machining shops at the moment without work for full ca pacity. Some freight is now moving which has been waiting two months, and pigiron deliveries have reached destination after three months in transit." Several Schools Have .
