ADVERTISING BY THE G NERAL OFFICES TNIW YORK AND CHICAGO VT BOINCIPAL CITIES The people of Minnesota, up to Saturday last, had given $149,133.61 for Belgian relief and of the total more than half, or 55 per cent was given by Minneapolis. Treasurer Joseph Chapman, of the Minnesota Branch of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, today made a report to the executive committee showing the receipts. Much Needed for Schools. The state high school board has voted to ask the legislature for an appropriation of $1,201,000 for the present school year and $1,318,000 next year, as the departmental aid for the schools under its jurisdiction. The board met to consider the ap- propriations to be asked for to pro- vide for the annual aid to high and graded schools and for industrial and training departments. The amount for the next two years is based on the present amounts fixed by law. The annual aid paid to the same schools and departments last year " was $1,107,477. High schools now receive $2,200 a year; graded schools, $750; graded schools with two-year high school department, $1,250; industrial de- partments in agriculture, manual training and home economics, $2,500 or $1,800, and schools maintaining training departments, $1,000. There are on the list this year 221 high schools, 120 training depart- ments, forty-two schools maintaining industrial departments receiving $2,- 500, and 104 receiving $1,800; also 250 graded schools, eighty of which have a two-year high school depart- ment. The board voted that principals of graded schools who assume their po- sitions for the first time next school year will be required to attend a spe- cial summer term for graded school principals at the agricultural college next summer. The question of requiring special training in administration, manage- ment and supervision of all new ap- pointees as principals of graded schools, beginning with the next school year, will be taken up in con- jference with the normal school board.

London.—(By Mail to New York.) —Thrilling éxperiences in the Bel- gian trenches are related by Miss Jessica Borthwiek, niece of the late Lord Glenesk, who has- just returned to England to enlarge the equipment of the fleld ambulance corps which she organized in conjunction with ‘I'bridge and through the main street. | Dowager Lady Suffolk, Lorth Meth- uen and others, and whose work she has been superintending. “The other day;” she said, “I was standing in the road on the way to Dixmude talking with an officer when a shell fell, taking off his left arm completely as though it had been chopped off- with -an-ax; Killing five others and shattering a nearby house to the ground. A cow standing near was also killed, but another a few vards away simply looked around and went on eating. For a moment I felt stunned, but was conscious of a shower of every kind of stone and dirt. One man, not otherwise wound- ed, was struck deaf and dumb by the shock. “That night we went to Dixmude. The Germans were holding the coun- try on one side of the town, the Al- lies on the other. We left our am- bulance on this side of the canal and carried our stretchers over the Germans hidden in the cellars fired upon us as we passed. “Some of the strange contrasts of the war were seen on this journey. On one side of the bridge, piles of German dead, saturated with kero- sene, were being burned. The green waters of the canal were running peacefully on; and in them Belgian soldiers, in the half hours between the fighting, were calmly fishing as though nothing unusual was happen- ing. “The moon was full that night. 1t shone over a flat country in which one or two trees were still left stand- ing. When we got near the trenches we lay down flat in order not to show up against the sky-line. We picked up sixteen French and Belgian wounded, many of whom has been dying unattended for three days. They were carried back, three or four at a time, to the bridge over the canal, and taken into a little house, one of the few that had been left standing. One man died that night. The others were removed as soon as possible to the base hospital. . “It is sometimes very difficult to do anything for the poor fellows. One young Belgian was wounded in the head, and he kept tearing the bandage off. He continually cried for chocolate and no sooner did he get it than he grew quite calm and sane. Hot coffee or beef essence will bring a man around better than any- thing else, and it is one of the pur- poses of my present visit to England to arrange for a small hospital field kitchen so we can supply hot drinks to the wounded in the trenches be- fore we carry them back.” Miss Borthwick recently received from the Belgian war office the hon- orary rank of corporal in recognition of her valuable services.

It be- hooves all, therefore, to do their ut- most not only to endeavor to save as many horses as possible for patriotie reasons, but because it 1s our duty also to endeavor to ease the suffering of these poor faithful animals. “Our dumb friend league started the Blue Cross fund, while the French government has officially re- cognized its existence and gratefully accepted its offer of help for the horses. “The French minister of war has not only authorized the installation of horse hospitals in France, but has given every possible facility to the Blue Cross for carrying out its work. The Blue Cross hope to open light base hospitals for wounded horses during this month.” TN o IT, is the purity of a soap that most interests the doctor.

GLASS OF SALTS CLEANS HIDNEYS If your Back is aching or. Bladder bothers, drink lots of water and eat less meat, When your kidneys hurt and your back Aeels- sore, don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their nor- mal activity. The function of the kid- neys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kid- neys active. Drink Jots of water—you can’t drink t00 much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your Kkidneys will 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 clean and stimulate clogged kid- neys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irri- tation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- . jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should neys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and mo doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache. Notice. To parties who are indebted to W. G.
