There is hardly a household that
hasn’t heard of Castoria! At least five
million homes are never without it. If
there are children in your family,
there’s almost dally need of its com
fort. And any night may find you very
thankful there’s a bottle in the house.
Just a few drops, and that colic or
constipation is relieved; or diarrhea
checked. A vegetable product; a baby
remedy meant for young folks. Castoria
is about the only thing you have ever
heard doctors advise giving to infants.
Stronger medicines are dangerous to a
tiny baby, however harmless they may
be to grown-ups. Good old Castoria!
Remember the name, and remember
to buy it. It may spare you a sleep
less, anxious night. It is always ready,
always safe to use; in emergencies, or
for everyday ailments. Any hour of the,
day or night that Baby becomes fret
ful, or restless. Castoria was never
more popular with mothers than it is
goday. Every druggist has it.

Have Kidneys
Examined By
Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys if
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers
Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au
thority, who tells Us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney 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 Irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse 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 may
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids in the system
so they no longer irritate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
• Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot In
jure and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink.

OIL STRIKE HELPS
UNFORTUNATE ONES
Blows Suffered in Past Are
Now Forgotten.
Wichita, Kan.—Blows which they
have suffered in the past are being
forgotten by Willard Goodrich of this
city and his two motherless “hildren,
as fortune repays them for their pa
tience and perseverance. An oil well
has come in on their 80-acre fnrm,
which was left them by the wife and
mother, who died 11 years ago.
The flow of black gold assures the
family comfort and ease for the rest of
their lives. Willard Goodrich is known
for unflagging devotion to his little
family.
Mr. Goodrich rented his Inherited
farm. He preferred to farm his own
land. He stayed with his double Job
throughout the years, rearing the chil
dren, Arlene, eighteen, and Dale, fif
teen. The father cooked the meals,
did the family washing, sent the chil
dren to school, and provided the in
come to maintain the home.
Sitting in his comfortable home. Mr.
Goodrich said oil had aroused no
dreams in his mind.
‘*l have no particular plans,” he de
clared. “I don’t know whether I’ll
move anywhere or not. 1 don’t know
what it would be like to live more
than a mile from home. Of course, I’m
glad we struck oil; it means a lot,
especially to a fellow with children.”
Baluchi Women Fare
111 in Divorce Cases
Peshawar, India. —Divorce used to
be an easy matter in Baluchistan, the
little-known state which lies just over
the northwest frontier and to the
south of Afghanistan.
All a Baluchi had to do was to ap
pear before the local court or “Jirga,”
composed of a committee of respected
elders, and state that his wife was un
faithful. He would at once be grant
ed a divorce, which, incidentally, gave
him the lawful right to kill her.
It was argued that any man who
submits to the indignity of acknowl
edging his wife’s unfaithfulness must
have true cause. No opportunity was
offered the woman to state her case.
Now there are changes. Westerni
zation of the East, so strongly sup
ported by King Amanullah of Afghan
istan, has crept south, and Baluchis
are grumbling that the new divorce
laws are not nearly so satisfactory as
the old.
According to the present system,
the woman is allowed to give evi
dence in her own defense.
Even so, the odds are against her.
The “Jirga” is composed of men. and
is all-powerful in Baluchistan. There
is no redress from faulty verdicts.
The accused, when found guilty, has
to pay the penalty prescribed and
summary justice is meted out.
Effort to Increase
Strawberry Profits
Washington.—To determine the ma
jor factors which affect the returns to
growers the Department of Agricul
ture is to study the strawberry in
dustry in regard to price ranges, com
position of market supply, weather
conditions and competition of other
fruits.
Economic information already has
been gathered in North Carolina, Vir
ginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Flor
ida. Similar work will be undertaken
in New Jersey, Delaware, Louisiana
and Arkansas. Maryland State College
of Agriculture is independently insti
tuting a similar survey in that state.
Factors of particular interest which
it is expected this study will disciose
are the place of strawberries in the
organization of the farm; the seasonal
movement from different areas, the
variation in time and period of move
ment, the tendency to overcrowd par
ticular markets and methods of mar
keting and transportation.
Modern Hotels in Paris
Have American Names
Paris. —A feature of many of the
modern style hotels which are Spring
ing up all over Paris is the American
nomenclature given them. “Hotel des
Etats-Uni’s,” the “New York”; “Wash
ington” and such like are becoming
more and more familiar.
To Foil Counterfieiters
Washington. —Secret service opera
tives hope to educate the public
against counterfeits when the new
small-sized currency is issued. It will
show portraits of a particular Ameri
can celebrity like Washington or Lin
coln on bills of one denomination only
and help foil currency raisers.

CITY HIT BY SERIES
OF UNUSUAL CRIMES
Omaha Visited by Three
Strange Criminal Types.
Omaha, Neb. —Three strange crim
inal types—two of them killers, the
other a kidnaper with a madman’s
method—have visited upon Omaha
during the last six years n series of
particularly frightful crimes.
Just now it is the “hatchet man.”
who killed five persons. Three years
before him It was “the sniper," and
in 1022 it was the "chain man”—kill
er, kidnaper and bad man.
The sniper, Frank Carter, went to
the electric chair last “year. The
chain man, Fred Brown, was shot
dead in 1025 during a riot at the state
penitentiary where he was serving a
life sentence for kidnaping.
To the final moments of his life
“the sniper” was a strange mixture of
braggadocio and fearlessness. Many
said he was crazy. He was n puzzle
to psychologists. 11 is “craving for
publicity,” as M. Andreasen of the
state prison welfare society put it.
“was such as to make him try any
thing to get into the [tapers.”
Boasted on Way to Chair.
Even as he walked to the chair,
the sniper jeered and boasted.
“They say 1 killed three,” he said
as the slow tread of his death march
counted off his remaining moments
of life. “Three? Why, 1 have killed
42!”
The Villesca (Iowa) ax murders,
one of the most revolting chapters of
lowa criminal records, were among
the crimes which the sniper paraded
as Ills own work.
Carter operated during the early
hours of evening, whereas the hatch
et man chose that time of night just
before dawn. During the fortnight
that Carter was abroad in Omaha,
claiming three lives with his silencer
equipped pistol, fear of his marks
manship kept many persons off the
streets during the evening hours.
The specific crime for which Carter
was convicted was the slaying of an
Omaha physician.
Fred Brown, the "chain man,” came
to Omaha trailed by a crime record
which included a conviction for a
murder committed when he was six
teen years old. He was free on parole
from a life sentence imposed upon him
for that crime.
Women Kept Chained.
Two young women were Brown’s
victims here. He kidnaped and trans
ported them to a shack at the edge
of the city. There they were kept
chained while he went about other
crimes, including the plundering of
Omaha homes.
A man, finding the women chained
in the shack, set about freeing them,
but was himself overpowered by
Brown and placed in irons. This man
later escaped, and Brown fled. He
was captured shortly afterward and
sentenced to life imprisonment.
Of this trial of abnormal crimes
only the hatchet slayings remain un
solved and the guilty person or per
sons unpunished.
Three of the hatchet victims —an
aged drayman, a young mother and
her sister—were beaten to death as
they slept.
China Grants Widows
Right to Remarry
Peking.—Young widows are being
encouraged to marry again by the au
thorities.
In the old days, when the Son of
Heaven sat on his dragon throne,
widows were rewarded for their vows
of celibacy by seeing their names in
stone tablets sanctioned by the em
peror. That is entirely too old-fash
ioned to suit the young Chinese of
today.
Superstitious acts of filial piety, in
the hope of curing the sickness of a
parent, will not earn the commenda
tion of the Nationalist regime, such
practices being classed as unworthy
along with the ancient custom by
which young widows refused to re
marry.
Neither will the acts of a girl de
clining to marry after the death of
her fiance be regarded as commend
able virtue, all of which has been set
forth in a draft of regulations gov
erning awards and official commenda
tion of meritorious services submitted
to the Nationalist government coun
cil by the ministry of the interior.
Pig Fell* Apple*
Winsted, Conn. —J. Schneider has
been boasting about his pig. In one
corner of the pig’s pen is an apple
tree, so that when the pig rubs
against the tree, shaking it, one-quar
ter of the falling apples drop in the
pen.
Try Chinese Custom.
Peking, China.—The ancient Chi
nese custom of paying a doctor for
keeping one well appeals to foreign
ers. The German hospital essays to
keep Americans, Britishers, Germans,
Frenchmen and Italians fit for $4 a
month.
Go Far for Bath.
Vinogradnuyu, North Caucasus. —
It’s a 50-mile ride on a freight train
to a bath from this station. Some
150 railroad workers and officials
make the trip to Georgievsk once a
week. They come home singing.
Need More Room
New York.—So many people have
been dabbling in the market that the
stock exchange has bought two build
ings to provide for expansion.
BIG AIRSHIP WILL
BE READY IN MARCH
Dritam’s Latest Craft to Fly
Atlantic.
London.—Trial flights of the R-100,
the gigantic airship now being con
structed under the auspices of the
British air ministry for the purpose
of flying the Atlantic, will not be
made until March, 1929, according to
information given at the headquarters
of Commander C. D. Burney, who will
lead the expedition.
Although Commander Burney has
been pushing his plans with all pos
sible speed, there have been several
delays as the result of manufacturers
requiring extra time to supply parts
for the mammoth air liner. It is
pointed out, however, that the predic
tion of trial (lights by March is a con
servative (mo and that it is possible
the intervening period will be cut
down.
Meanwhile considerable speculation
reigns as to who will comprise the
passenger list of the ship on its great
flight from England to Canada and
thence to New York. While the Brit
ish air ministry nominally is in charge
of the flight, it is known that Com
mander Burney will be permitted to
select practically the entire crew, as
well its determine who will be carried
its passengers in addition to the air
ministry's representatives.
Requests for permission to accom
pany the commander on his flight
have been pouring in from all parts
of Europe as well as America, but it
is declared that no final selections
have ns yet been made.
Gains in Weight After
Escaping Wife’s ICnife
Kansas City, Mo.—Following dis
closures that he had gained 40 pounds
in weight since he had stopped run
ning from a butcher knife wielded by
bis wife, as well as since having left
her board, Harry Mitchell, a negro,
was granted a divorce in the Inde
pendence division of the Circuit court
by Judge Willard P. Hall.
Mitchell and his wife lived at 1010
Brooklyn avanue. Mrs. Mitchell
threatened him with a knife, Mitcheli
said.
“But were you always good to her?”
inquired Judge Hall.
“Yes, sir,” Mitchell replied. "1 al
ways was on time for meals and al
ways kept the house warm in winter.
But I lost weight eating her food.”
Mitchell said his wife’s weight was
185 pounds and his 145, while they
lived together.
Big Parade of Steamboats
Is Planned on Ohio River
Pittsburgh.—A steamboat parade on
the Ohio river, head id by President-
Elect Herbert Hoover, is planned for
September, 1929, to celebrate comple
tion of all locks and dams on the
stream.
Capt. Oscar Barrett, president of
the Ohio Valley Improvement associ
ation, says he already has invited Mr.
Hoover and that he has received his
tentative acceptance.
Towns and cities along the river
will be asked to co-operate, while
steamship owners and operators are
expected to participate.
Three Million Artisans
Are Listed in Russia
Geneva, Switzerland. —Official sta
tistics from Itussia, quoted in the
weekly publication of the interna
tional labor office, put the number of
artisans in the Soviet union at 2,900,-
000, or 55 per cent of the total num
ber of industrial workers.
Their production, including milling,
is valued at $2,150,000,000, or 30 per
cent of the total value of the indus
trial production of the Soviet union.
There are 7,413 artisans’ co-opera
tives, with a total membership of 400,-
018 members.

Narrow Escape
“Something over a year ago I had
the flu, which left me with a very bad
cough which kept getting worse all
the time, until I could not lie down
at night. If I attempted to lie down
I would cough all night and choke
up so I would have to sit up in hod.
This continued until I got so weak I
could not walk across the floor, and
every night I thought would be my
last. I became so thin that my hands
would meet around my legs. My doc

and I was In a desperate condition.

Denote* Concealed Evil
“There is something rotten in Den
mark,” is said of a concealed evil.
Thousands of persons use tills saying
continually without having the least
suspicion as to its source. It is based
on a passage In Shakespeare’s “Ham
let.” In the fourth scene of the first
act of that play Marcellus, an officer
of the watch, says to Hamlet’s friend
Horatio: “Something is rotten in the
stale of Denmark." The remark was
made after Hamlet followed the ghost
of his father from the platform be
fore the castle.

Syrup gives tone and strength to these
organs so they continue to act as Na
ture intends them to do, and helps
build up and strengthen weak, pale

popularity. The genuine, endorsed by
