Another stupendous failure for the
Clown Prince. Verdun has been re
peated for him.

The Y. M. C. A. will soon be asking
the' American people for a few mil
lions. They will get it too.

While not throwing bombs' at the
Huns the French and Americans
throw boquets at one another.
W. s. s.
Turkey is threatening to take her
doll rags and go home. We hope not
for the allies want nothing to do with
her.

American troops in France will
number two millions. We would like
to know what the Kaiser thinks
about it.

Old Bill Hohenzollern is having a
hard time explaining to the German
people why the third offensive 'failed
to offend.

It is .announced that the Fourth
Liberty Loan Drive will, start the
last of September. Everybody get
ready for it.

. American troops defeat the crack
Qerman regiments the press reports
tell ms. Sure thing. Nothing does
an American boy more good than to
crack the head of a square head.
w. s. s.
The Huns have been forced further
back than they were when the third
offensive started. Reminds us of the
saying that "every time he took a
step forward he slipped back two."
W. S. sV-
The fact that the German comman
der selected the best fighters in his
army to oppose American troops tells
more plainly than words that they
have learned to respect and fear the
fighting American lads. Well they
may. i
w. s. s
Late reports tell us that the Ger
man army is halting in its retreat,
and the greatest battle of the war is
liable to take place at most any time.
So be it. The Huns will find that
Gen.Foch has prepared for just such
an emergency.
W. S. S
North Carolina has cause to be
proud of such officials as Gov. Bicket,
Secretary Daniels and her two United
States Senators. Now if we could
trade Claude Kitchen off for a 'yaller'
dog and then shoot the dog, the State
would be better off.
W. S. S.
President Wilson wrote to Demo
crats m a Texas congressional district
and asked that they defeat the pres
ent incumbent for a renomination,
and that gentleman at once resigned.
Couldnt Woodrow be induced to send
such a letter to the constituents of
Claude Kitchen.
W. S. S
Just see what can be done by a lit
tle self denial. Herbert Hoover has
taken the hotels, eating houses and
dining cars off wheatless days, and
tells what stupendous amounts of
wheat have been saved by the self
deniaL of patrons ' of these establish
ments. And how sweet wheat bread
will taste to these people for thev
have earned the right to eat it. "

America is . threatened with a su

Acid Foods
There are many self-styled - "too
ipecialists'Vwho, for a handsome price;
7111 undertake to teach any creduloiia
victim by mail what he should i pt
ihould hot eat and why. One ofJtM
favorite fancies of these keen chara4
tans is that people with rheumatismf-4
whatever that is should not eat acid-
fruits. -' ' f j i
Indeed, most everybody but a doctor
parbors some such notion as that, ft;
seems that, many years ago a theory
that "rheumatism" was somehow cas4
ed by uric or other acids gained ci)
iiderable popularity with physicians,!
and that notion still prevails amtrig
the laity. Now it has been establish-!
ed long since that uric acid does notj
rause ioint disease: not even go
furthermore, physiologists know thitj
into carbonic acid gas, which com
bines with soda, potash and lime -in
the blood or tissues, producing; car
bonates of sodium, potassium and cal
cium, and these are alkaline. Sdnm
of the fruit acid (citric, mallic, oxalic,
or whatever it may be) unites direct
ly with sodium or potassium to form
citrate or xnallate or oxalate of soclium,
and these, too, are alkaline salts, t
When it is necessary for a physfcian
to neutralize aij excessively acid blood,
or to increase an insufficient Alkalin
ity of the blood, he fias no better rem
edy for the purpose than citrate of
sodium.
Foods which contain natural fruit
Or vegetable acids are not 'only unoty
Jectionable in the diet of a person sub

erally speaking, but they are often ad

acias aerivea irom rruits or vege
tables do not increase the acidity 6t
the blood, or, more correctly speaking
do not decrease the alkalinity of thjq I
blood, of course never becomes acid tiv
life. Everyt physician of experi-encfef
knows that lemon juice, for exampll
is one of the best remedies we hav3e
for diminishing excessive acidity oft
the urine In acute fevers and other!;
conditions accompanied by concentrat-f
ed, irritating, highly acid kidney ,excrt4
tion. ; - )
If at first It seems a paradox thaii
such an acid as the citric acid of lemf
ons or oranges should render the blooTJ
more alkaline and the urine less acid.
n understanding of the fale of suclj
fruit acids will clear up the paradox!.
When, you drink lemonade or eat aij
orange or a grapefruit or tomatoes of
ipples, the acids are partly oxidiza ;
acids in the process of digestion and
assimilatioend to increase the alim
ination of poisons or toxic matter
from the blood, and sometimes this
elimination of toxins aids materially
in a cure.
At times certain individuals suffer
some immediate digestive discomfort
after eating acid fruits. That, how
ever, is not due to any change of the
alkalinity of the blood. .
The sort of foods that actually tend
to diminish the alkalinity of the blood
and' increase the acidity of the urined
are the nitrogenous or protein foods
lean meats, whito of egg, sometimes
cheese of fish.
So If you think "acid foods" at all,
don't think of the wholesome, health
ful, bloodcleansing fruits and fresh
vegetables. Think of beef, mutton,
chicken, eggs and fish.

A bad taste in the mouth often pre-
Parageusia as it is popularly call4
ed is a bad taste in the mouth. It is;
generally attributed to some disturb-
ance of the digestion, but in reality is
as rarely due to digestive disturbance?
as "stomach trouble" is due to the'
"food disagreeing." Doctors know,
that "stomach tr6uble," nine time "out
of ten, is due to some organic or ;
functional condition not dependent unJ
on the diet; and that a bad taste in the!
mouth is a symptom of many con
ditions apart from dyspepsia.
For instance, Dr. T. F. Rilly observ
ed that many patients with hign blood
pressure complained of a peculiar and
persistent bad taste. It was about the
only symptom complained of a: all in
several cases.
In the earlier stages of chronic
Brlght's disease, which generally be
gins insidiously and is therefore ne
glected or misinterpreted by the pa
tient, the patient often notices a bad
taste . In the mouth upon rising in the
morning, due, perhaps, to a compensa
tory effort to eliminate toxic material
In the- saliva. It is a familiar obser
vation that, headache in the back- of
the head or neck is felt early in the
morning in certain cases of Brlght's
disease, with or without the bad
taste, and this, too, is probable toxic.
Chronic trouble in the gall-sac (ln;
flammation or gallstones) Is not rarely
the explanation of a bitter taste which
annoys the patient. Sometime? this
taste is compared With that of musty
eggs. In several Instances the pecu
liar taste was noted by the patient
week before the appearance of jaun
dice. Infection of one of the nasal acces
sory sinuses, with releitno of matter
and occasional drainage into nose and
throat, sometimes causes !an unpleas
ant taste of which the patient is con
scious, as well as an odor of whn
may be only his friends are conscious.
Decayed teeth are a frequent cause
of bad taste.
In pulmonary tubercurosls the pa
tleftt often complains of a bad taste
which Is noticed from about noon on
ward. A sour taste is present in acute
"rheumatic fever" Inflammatory rheu-
!cdes by weeks the development of
ftqabetes, cancer of stomach,- severe
paemia, or ulcer in the duodenum.
