The Wadesboro Ansonian - says it Is proud of the manner in which 'the people of Anson couiity have respond-; ed to the nation's call, and well it may be.' More than one hundred of her young men have volunteered in the armies and the people "have 'put; over six thousand dollars in bank to the credit of Mr. McAdoo, national treasurer of the ked Cross, and there's more to come." Several men in the county gave as much as " a thousand dollars each to that cause, j besides much of their time. The women of the county also have re sponded to their country call and have done their bit in food conserva-; tion and in other ways. .which -show-f hovn great is their' patffoilkW The Ansonian says: "Talk about German thrift we?-can teach, the. ifuus a few. things yet Anson county presents fa united front against the cojrimon tf6e of humanity and will' fight pj the at ditch, no matter how far jethavo go.

The State Board of Health does not believe in quarantine and pest houses as proper means to fight smallpox, but that vaccination alone should be relied on. , It goes on the principle that if a man wont be vaccinated he does not deserve the protection of the law against one who has the disease. Raleigh officials, We" believer still cling to the old-time preventive against spread of the disease and require quarantining wheBt cases occur, and keep up a pest house towhich small pox patients4are reinoved when they cannot be " suitably quarantined. Wake county authorities . follow the State Board of Health as embodied in the act of the Legislature excepting smallpox from the contagious diseases required to be quarantined. That Jlaif does not; always v?ork as satisfactorily as the Board bf Health thinks it ought 'tof-A' caseft;fit Raleigh the other day Is ah illustration vof that fact when th6 county authori ties found themselves with a; prisoner on their hands with a blooming" case of confluent smallpox.

Take a Glass of Saltsto Flush Kidneys if Bladder Bothers , Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because. the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and "cause all sorts of distress, particularly back ache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri nary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidt neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you.' get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder diroders. Jad; Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and women take, now and then to keep the kidneys and -urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.
