No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well known authority. Eating too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become over worked from the strain, get slug gish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then we get sick. Rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and uri nary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregu lar of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, begin drink ing a quart of water each day, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys may act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice combined with Iithia, and has been used for years to flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to help neutralize t’.e acids in the system, so they no longer cause irritation, thus oftc.: relieving bladder weak ness.

Of the dead nine are from East Messieks and two are from Hamp ton, while all of the injured are Poquoson people. Agent First on Scene. Agent Nelson of the C. & O. railroad, in Hampton, was one of the first to reach the scene of the accident. He helped in caring for the dead and wounded. L. C. Spengler, gen eral agent of the company in New port News, with other officials, reached Hampton shortly after the crash. Engineer Ben Catlin said that he did not see the bus on the track and that the first he knew of im pending danger was when the crash came. Bus May Have Stalled. It is thought that the bus stalled after going onto the tracks. The train crashed into the ma chine while traveling at a rate of 45 miles an hour, striking the bus almost in the center. The bus was torn to pieces and parts of the car were scattered for nearly a half-mile on either side of the tracks. Bodies Strewn on Track. The bodies were strewn along the tracks. Engineer Catlin stopped his train as soon as possible and re mained at the scene of the acci dent until after the physicians, coroner, officers and others ar rived. Colonel Parker, surgeon of the C. & 0., was soon on the scene and gave orders that the injured be rushed tp the hospital. Dr. Vandorstice, coroner of Elizabeth county, and other officers hurried to the scene and took charge of the bbdies. Just before sending the eight bodies of those already dead to the undertaking parlors, Dr. Vandor stice had Sheriff Curtis summon a jury. Jury Views Wreckage. The jury viewed the bodies scat tered along the tracks and ad journed until Wednesday evening, when the inquest will be held.

Over 100 years ago polo was first ob served in Persia by early European travelers, like Sir William Ouseley and Sir Anthony Shirley. The lat ter quoted his tY’—runner, the Ital ian Pietro della Valle who, In 1618, had found polo under the patronage of Shah Abbas, and remarked that “It was a favorite recreation of kings and chiefs, and originally, I believe, considered as almost pecu liar to Illustrious personages.” The French traveler Chardin says the Persians played with 30 or 40 on a side, though the Persian miniatures remind us that even then three or four-sided teams were common. An other traveler calls it “the game of Canes. *» Right by All Accounts Professor—Can you give me an example of a commercial appliance used In ancte.it times?
