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.

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. x~x~x~x~f~x**x*<"x~x~x~x~x~x* Hungary Gets New Port £ £ by Reclaiming Swamp | £ Budapest.—One of the finest X £ ports in central Europe has X been opened at Czepel, near X £ Budapest.

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. Hero at Last Cited Fresno, Calif.— Fifty-two years after her husband rescued Gen. George Custer’s flag from ttie Indian chief American Horse at Slim Buttes, Mont., Mrs. William J. McClinton received from the government his Indian Wars medal and a posthumous citation for bravery. **tt***#*****-lfr******-X-**-**** * sk | Bureau of Standards * Seeks a Perfect Fuel * * Washington.—Why does the * | engine of your automobile * sk sometimes miss when you step * on the accelerator? sk That’s what the bureau of * * standards, in co-operation with rj: * the automotive and petroleum * * industry, is trying to find out, * * the Department of Commerce * sk announces. sk * r l'he bureau of standards has * sk already made a few discoveries * along this line.

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 tor said that my lungs were affected and I was In a desperate condition. “Finally I read about Milks Emul sion and started to use it. I have now taken it about throe months and I am entirely recovered. My cough is gone and I have taken on flesh and strength, and I thank God that I found Milks Emulsion. “I have spread the good news among all my friends and there are live of my Immediate neighbors tak ing it, and they all say it lias done them so much good.

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. Harold’ s Mother Knew Answer im. “Yes, sir, I am cer tainly proud of my little boy,” says Mrs. ‘ I 11. M. Smith, 421 To peka Ave., Topeka, li. 4 Kansas. “He’s five / and weighs flfty-sev ' en pounds. He’s the you can see, and I feel like lie’ll al ways be that way as long as I can get California Fig Syrup. I have used it with him ever since he was a year old. I knew what to give him for his colds and his feverish, upset spells be cause Mother used California Fig Syrup with all of us as children. I have used it freely with my boy and he loves it. It always fixes him up, quick.” > In many hemes, like this, the third and fourth generations are using pure, wholesome California Fig Syrup because it lias never failed to do what is expected of it. Nothing so quick ly and thoroughly purges a child’s system of the souring waste which Ikeeps him cross, feverish, headachy, bilious, half-sick, with coated tongue, bad breath and no appetite or energy as long as it is allowed to remain in the little stomach and bowels. Fig 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 and underweight children. Over four million bottles used a year shows Its popularity. The genuine, endorsed by physicians for 50 years, always bears the word “California.” The Easy Kind Guide (in Venice) —“This Is St. Mark’s.” Yankee Tourist —"Ah ! the patron saint of the tourists, I pre sume.” Advertising is what makes many a sickly business idea pay magnificently when it gets started. For Colds ~ ftfi How many people you know end their colds with Bayer Aspirin! And how often you’ve heard of its prompt relief of sore throat or tonsilitis. No wonder millions take it for colds, neuralgia, rheumatism; and the aches and pains that go with them. The won der is that anyone still worries through a winter without these tablets!
