PAGE FOUR ms SCIENTISTS SEE ELIXIR Os Lift Use of Salt in Solution Being Advocated Now As Cure for ’That Tired Feeling LONDON, February 12.—Scien tists having failed to find the elixir of life or the fountain of youth are now seeking the next best thing— a vaccine .that will do away with weariness and enable a person to go through all forms of exertion without fatigue. The search, ac cording to Sir Robert Armstrong- Jones, is going on in the United States, Italy and the United King dom. Crile and Cannon are leading the movement in America and Mosso in Italy, he said. They are experi menting with tired animals. They are basing their experiments* on the medical fact that the human body invariably creates its own anti toxins when poison enters the blood. Even if the fatigue-fighting vaccine is found it still will be ne cessary for man to sleep, said Sir Robert. Indeed, the alleviation would be conducive to slumber.

CRABB’S FORD SERVICE STATION 327 West Lamar St. When your Ford refuses to go, Call Crabb at One-Eight-O toxin various methods to avoid that tired feeling are being advocated. One is the use of salt in a solution as a beverage. Experiments upon miners have shown that their ef ficiency is incresed 20 percent by the daily use of salt, a recent con vention in London was informed by Professor K. Neville-Moss. Laborious work in a hot, dry tem perature, Professor Moss explained, causes the worker to perspire freely and leads him to drinking large qpantities of water. This, said Pro fessor Moss, produces cramps, fa tigue and clogging of the kidneys. To prevent water poisoning, miners undergoing the tests in this country were given a solution of salt in watervto balance the j loss of salt by perspiration. .Ms a" result the miners dug more coal, their vigor was maintained throughout the day, they were no longer bothered with cramps and they slept more soundly. Professor Moss said the best solu tion of salt to use is one containing 60 percent sodium chloride and 40 percent potassium chloride. CHICAGO TROOPS ON RIOT SCENE MARION, 111., February’ 12.

She proceeded then, in the dis-1 trict having the largest number oi income tax payers in the United; Slates, to increase tax collections 1 more than 20 per cent tor her first I year. The increase is explainable : by improved business cofidi- ■ tions, but the figures show the new > collector was not letting the evaders escape. “When men come in seeking to dodge payments, th'.y find the sy-- tern is against them,” explains Mi.-.; Reinecke, and one notices that her blond hair is almost a coppery red. “The law is devised t > get the money. It strengthens tiie hand of the collectors, even if she is a woman. "Very few men, though, have tried to take advantage of me be cause I am a woman. There is something about dealing with a woman which makes most men a iittle more considerate and reason able. And it would surprise* you to see how much respect most people have for the government.” Mrs. Reinecke learned politic.-, when her father was state commit teeman in the Bull Moose organiza tion, and at secret meetings th* wire-pullers would call for “Gil more’s daughter” to take shorthand notes. Then she worked for a year in the county tax assessor’s officu and has been active in war work, in the suffrage movement and in political drives. x "It is away ahead of housekeep ing,” she admits. “Every day brings thrills.

A story decidedly out of the or dinary is said to be dramatically told in “Held to Answer,” the pic ture at the ’Rylandcj op -WgyHes day. Feter Clark MacFarlane, one of the best-liked-authors of the day, has never written anything more I thrilling than this drama of a fighting minister, an actress and the criminal courts. He has taken i as his central character a young ac tor who deserts the stage to preac i ' the word of God and serve human ; ity in a small western city. An a> : tress friend follows him, ana through jealously, manages to have ; him accused of theft. I Mr. Mae Farlane has wbven a tale that is said to hold one spell I bound, and for this reason it is no • wonder that the novel enjoyed the I largest sale of any book ever pub . Jished in .America. Included in the least are Hou.-e Peter:’, Grace Carlyle 1 James Morrison, Bull Montana, Lydia Knott and others. On the i.me program is a comedy, Bridle Grooms.

Phone 80 : or 211, I “Ruth of the Range By Paul Forrest Adapted from the Patheserial Copyright, 1923, by Bathe Exchange, Inc. aneritt "Silent” Smith, dialing j under the lull in the business oi maintaining law and order since Robert Remington’s rescue, sprang eagerly to his feet when he heard it 'horse, galloping down the road. Without stopping to dismount, the rider, who was Captain X, shouted, ‘‘Quick, get your men and go to the Remington ranch! Stain is up to mischief there—drive him off!” Thus it happened that just as Stain’s burly deputy, posing as the owner of the lava pit, was about to slip handcuffs on Bruce Burton, he was interrupted by the arrival of Smith. Warned by their guard of the sheriff's approach, the men made a dash at Timothy’ Hawkins,, hoping to at least take prisoner the only available owner of the pit. Bruce rushed to Hawkins’ rescue, and Ruth Remington, nothing loathe to fight in defense, put in several forceful blows. The sheriff entering thin, put an end to the struggle, and, order once more re stored, the interrupted sale was finally concluded. The reason Captain X, though employed by Remington’s personal enemy, Peter Van Dyke, assisted Remington at every opportunity, was because the inventor of Fuelite hared the secret of Captain X's past. 1 He was a native of Mahalla, an island, the people of which wor shipped a sacred lava pit. In an attempt to preserve the sanctity of the pit in America, they took Ezra Hawkins, Timothy’s brother and part owner, a prisoner. Captain X had been sent to America by the High Priest to protect their relig ious interest in the pit. Captaih' X, however, believed that the lava should be put to prac tical use and not worshipped, and, therefore, suggested that he take Ruth and Bruce to Mahalla. His people still trust him and he will be able to effect the escape of Hawkins. So little time had they to catch! the boat that Judith, clever spy though she was and equipped with a high-speed airplane, almost failed to get news of this unexpected de-> velopment to her employers, the Olympus Coal Company. They sent Slim Morgan to outwit the Remington outfit and W” •’Ezra Hawkins' right. Two yveeks later saw new arrivals* on the. dreamy, shadow’y island of' Mahalla, where the ruins of mighty temples concealed the pit of lava; worshipped by the natives. While Ruth and Bruce made ar rangements for quarters at the inn. Captain X joined his people, don ning for his stay there, their vividly colored and richly embroidered garb. Their duties attended to, Ruth! grew impatient for the return of Captain X and decided to go to the temple herself. Impatience is' a heady master and, Ruth would; have been wiser had sh.e exercised, restraint. In the temple she demanded} audience with the High Priest and went straight to the point. . "1 have been informed that Ezra} Hawkins is here. I must see him! at once!” Ruth Remington de-} manded somewhat imperiously. “What is your business with' him?” the High Priest asked. “I wish to take him back to America. It is very essential that hj should return,” Ruth tactlessly RADIO, YES, RADIO We carry a complete line of Radio in stock; also a complete line of parts.

C- TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 12, 1924 admitted.! “That can never be,” the nigh* Priest replied, firmly. “We hold him here’ as a guarantee of the sanctity of the lava pit in America.” Ruth then realized the situation and left in despair. Captain X, unseen by Ruth, had been a listener to the conversation and, as she went out, managed to get close! enough to whisper the warning, ‘Tt was unwise to say you knew the prisoner. Return to the hotel and wait. I will free him.” Ruth’s hopes revived and she joined Bruce in the beautiful garden in the inn courtyard, Bruce having been frantically searching for his entirely too independent but never theless adorable fiancee. In the temple it was. sometime before Captain X had an oppor tunity to get to Exra Hawkins tn his dark tomb. He conducted the bewildered American through se cret passages and directed htin to go to th< hotel and ask for Miss Remington, who would help him. Hawkins knew nothing except that he war, free and accordingly,’ when Morgan intercepted him on his way to the hotel, he eagerly listened to the coal company’s se cret agent, who promised him every protection. All Hawkins wanted was to get away from the accursed island. . , It was not long before Hawkins disappearance was discovered in the temple. “This is the work of the Ameri can girl,” decided the High Priest. "We must find her at once,” and he sent his servants to the hotel to bring her to him fit once. They found Ruth and Bruce in the courtyard, anxiously awaiting the coming of Hawkins, and bore down upon them menacingly. Bruce stepped between Ruth and the leader. “This is the work of the Ameri can girl,” the leader said. “It is dangerous to interfere in native af fairs.” He tried to push Bruce aside and got a swipe on the jaw for his pains. Then pandemonium broke : loose. Hotel guests and natives ! joined in the fight, no one knowing • what it was about but welcoming I a little excitement. Bruce was the 1 center, of the storm. His clothing I was Kirn to shreds—-then a terrific blpw On the head knocked him in •■■■nsib’e. Ruth was finally dragged, fighting and protesting, to the j temple and taken before the High ! Priest. Ruth inwardly quailed before the ■ wildness in his eyes as he de manded, “What have you done with Ezra Hawkins?” That was exactly what Ruth 1 wanted to know—what had become j of the man so important in the af fairs of her father? She could not answer the question—not if her life depended on it. And it so hap pened that her life did depend on her answering the question. Beneath the temple was a sacri ficial cell from whose yawning ! lepths no victim had ever returned. In it was the lava pit—the sacred pool—which was used tb decide the | fate of their hapless victims, j A native .on each side holding Ruth’s wrists in a vice-like grip , dragged her through the labyrinth as passageways to the cells, in the center of which scalding steam irose in_ a cloud front the .molten ava. 1 hey bent her head over tUO ■im and the steam seared her beao tifnl face. ’«» “This is your last opportunity Consider well, for if you do ratft tell us the truth, you will be thrown into the sacred pool!” “I tell you I do not know where lie is. Please, please, believe me,* the helpless girl cried. Ruth Remington was made ofi such stern stuff that courageously; could she have sacrificed her fife if she thought it were necessary to> the cause, but! to die because she, did not have the information to give, was unbearable. ( She kicked and fought to escape, but even if . she could have broken away front ihe strong men wbo held her, what chance had she teg escape from that tomb?

It has b. i n compared to □ per fect machine which is always in good working order. No 'matter, what the object regarded may: be, whethe r new, strange or familigr, whether the light is good or ini-, perfect, whether the surroundings are pleasant or disagreeable, ortfi zodoxy teaches that the normal eye is always perfect. Even under renditions of nerVe strain and bod. ily disease, the'normal eye is ex pected to have always. This idea is very far from the truth. Thirty years of special' study given to the refraction of the eye have proven th;tt the normal eye has imperfect sight most of the time. If is unusual,‘in fact, to find, persons who can maintain perfect sight continuously, foi" long er than a few minutes even under the most favorable conditions. Os twenty thousand school children more than half had normal eyes with perfect sight, but not one of them had perfect sight in each eye every day.
