A glass of Salts is harmless way tu flush Kidneys, says Au- thority It you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your Kkidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para- lyzes the kldneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid- ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and Iirritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times Auring the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to clease the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fire. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice com- bined with lithia, and has been used tor generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids In urine, so it no longer ir- ritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, and makes a delightful effer- rescent lithia-water drink. {1l il 111} I i 11l il RING COVER FOR DIFFERENT SIZE DISHES Ml L & =l i) Il ALL NICKEL RAILSY EASILY REMOVED FOR CLEANING NO BOLTS" = il il 1l il SLIDING HEARTH FITTED WITH LARGE ASH PAN i il Il FITTED WITH 11 REPAIRING 1] \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\‘X\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\‘\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'////I/I/II////II/I///I// Hl = N {1 HOW LONDON ACTS DURING AIR RAID Engene P. Chase Tells of Aviators’ Visit to British Capital How would you like to be hungry and-unable to go to a restaurant just because a few Prussians were flitting overhead waiting to spoil your appe- | tite and everything else you owned with a shower of bombs? This has been the experience of Eugene P. Chase, son of Charles F. Chase of 241 ‘West Main street, who is connected with the American Y. M. C. A. in London. Mr. Chase is a Rhodes schol- ar at Oxford, having won the honor at Dartmouth college. He has tem- porarily given up his studies at the fa- mous English school to do his bit in the war. Mr. Chase was in the thick of the recent series of raids by German air- men on the British capital and his letter gives some interesting sidelights on London during a visit from hostile aviators. Incidentally, he says that the Prussian has done little material damage by his “frightfulness”. When the police warning *“take cover” is given all humanity in London disap- pears and remains concealed until the foo has flown away. Mr. Chase’s letter follows: “19 Regent's Park Terrace, “London, “Sept. 30, 1917. “Dear Family:— “My situation at present, as I write this letter, is not at all pleasant. T am, to be sure, sitting in a beautiful old chair of Mrs. B’s, beside a gas fire which is keeping me nice and warm—but it is all in the midst of an air raid. My associate, Byron, (who is with me) says it is the most com- fortable raid he’s ever experienced. He means the fire, but to me it is the least pleasant, because, though the guns are not loud, we can hear the shells whistle through the air so very plainly. We have closed the heavy solid wooden shutters before the win- dow and are sitting in the dining room with a good many solid floors above us—but it's hard not to remem- ber the unexploded shrapnel shell that landed in Camden Road, very near here, last night. You see the raiders drop bombs (which are not numer- ous) but when they land—well, it's all up with every one who isn’t under a concrete shelter, but the anti-air- craft guns shoot shrapnel—from which any ordinary house is a protec- tion. Nevertheless {it's not very pleasant to hear the shrapnel cases whiz through the air. You may notice that I referred _ LARGE /[BROILER DOOR.

WEIANT, Hea!ers_ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1917. GAs & TENENENET SIS USNSNENSHS NS cas iy to last night’s raid Tonizht he fifth raid we have had in seven days. They started with the first moonlight night, last Monday. Monday we had a terror of a raid. Tuesday we had a little one. Wednesday it rained. Thursday we had none. Fri- day we had a little one, one which did not quite reach London. Last night they gave the warning just after sun- set. Then they gave the all clear sig- nal and followed it almost immediate- ly by another ‘Take cover’ and pres- ently the guns started in. Tonight about 8 o'clock while Byron and I were sitting downst over a much-belated tea, we heard the booming, and I said to myself ‘T get no dinner downtown tonight’. For you see we get only breakfast here, and it's very inconvenient to have to dine downtown because every one lights out for the nearest concrete building's basement as soon as the volice go round with signs on their fronts and backs “Take cover’. “I can’t tell you all there is to tell about a raid hecause T suppose I'm so used to them that I forget little details. The noise of tonight's raid has now | stopped, but T doubt if it is all over. “As T was saying it is very incon- venient to have raids about dinner time—that's when they hive coming this moon. If we should start out now fo go downtown to a restaur- ant we should possibly he hit ¥ shrapnel. We shopld possibly, if things started to be dangerous, be ar- rested for not obeying the warning and ‘taking cover’. We should surely find the tube station crowded with people, and might find it hard to get a train, and if we got downtown we should hardly dare go from the tube to a res- taurant. “You see soon as word comes that enemy aircraft are approaching London the police are told. If it is daytime—all recent raids have come at night ockets are fired. At night the police ride around on bicycles with signs on their front—bang, bang, W bang, bang. Tt's started again, louder than ever, and the guns in Regent's Park a few hundred yards away are pouring shrapnel into the air above our heads. The things must be over us, though we can't, as usual, hear the hum of the machines. “Also, Friday night, when the raid overtook Byron and me in the Eagle { Hut, we saw a motor rushing down the Strand, with the sign illuminated on it, blowing its horn POLICE NOTICE TAKE COVER. “As soon as the warning Is given the i tube stations open their lifts (eleva- tors) free to every one, and crowds of people pile down into the under- ground station, with babies on their arms, books and mattresses on ther* heads, whiskey in their pockets, fear in their hearts, and curses on theit lip. The basement of bulldings that are bombproof are opened to every one. People desert the streets, busses | continue to run for a while, but their ) bassengers rapidly dwindle, and very rs in the kitchen | been | re: FUECY. wIZLAIN ATTACHMENTS IF DESIRED New MAGEE GRAND, one of the best ranges built and sold at a popular price; a great baker; always ready to do a big day’s work.

Taxis—alw: rce nowad: ~stop taking pa By the time the firing begins people are shut up some- where for the evening. “Little actual damage is done by even the worst raid. The nervous strai very terrible. As Byron said, if there had been a raid Wednesday | night, things would have been pretty well- upset. As it is, the poorer and foreign element of the population live in the tubes now—to speak with some exaggeration. \When we came homa in broad daylight about half past 5 | we saw women with babies in their | arms waiting outside the tube sta- tions. Those people who can afford it and whose business does not keep them in town, like to go outside the metropolitan district. “Personally, I find the inconvenient. Monday night T home here, and we had some fun teching it. Tuesday night, Byron and I were riding up on a bus when the bus-coaductor (a girl) came up and said ‘T don’t know how you feel bout being up on top. but I'm warn- ing you to take cover’, and when we got to Mornington Crescent under- ound station we got off so as to be to take cover, but when the guns had ceased, got home safely we had got into the G . M. C. A) Eagle Hut to g when the warning came, and we all went up to the Ma- sonic room of the Waldorf Hotel and continved the concert therc. Last ht T came home because I expected id and knew that Mrs. B. (whose nd has just gone away to an O. C.) would be horribly frightened Sure enough, when the guns started she very, much scared, but I managed to get [her talking and she charmed her own i feal way. “You see in the moonlight the raid- ers can see us and We cannat see them. Thus we expect (and we have ! been disappointed only once) to have a raid every clear night during the ! moon. One gets very used to it. Al- veady it seems the regular thing to take cover after dinner and just wait until the raid is over. One does feel rather helpless being we: the earth while one’s adve up in the clouds. “Tomorrow is the last night of the moon, I think, then we'll have a little peace again. “Don’t worry perfectly safe; is outside of the district they oon was Friday i, if she was here alone. aries are about me for I feel 19 Regent's Park Ter- race like to bomb—the firing has stopped again.
