New Arrests Expected in Chicago
ClairVOyant Cases.

Chicago, May 12.-New arrests of
men higher up in the police protect
ed clairVoyant trust, so called, are eX-
pected today. Three politicians and
policemen will be in custody by night
fall States Attorney Hoyne intimated
upon reaching his office this morning.
Barney Berch, ex-convict, former
saloon keeper and politician arrested
as the "go-between' for the NEGRO
mancers and who is at liberty on bail
was guarded throughout the night by
detectives stationed about his resi-
dence. The state attorney will place
whatever he may have against Bercn
before the grand jury when it con-
Venes at 1 o'clock.
The prosecutor asserted he would
show that several politicians and po-
licemen received a part of the $780,
600 alleged to have been collected an
nually from the crime and graft rings
in exchange for protection. Mr.. HOyne
declares he has positive proofs that
organizations of pickpockets pay
thousands of dollars weekly for i'm
munity so that they may rob the pub

ceived the protection money, the men

BACKACHE A WARNING
ALL SHOULD HEED
It Is One of the First Signs of Kidney
Troubles, II Neglected, Serious
Diseases Follow.

No one can be we'll and wealthy I'M
less the kidneys work properly and
keep the blood pure. When they be-
come clogged up and inactive. nature
has a way of warning you.
Backache is one of the first symp-
tones. You may also be troubled
with disagreeable, annoying bladder
disorders; have attacks of lumbago
or rheumatism; become nervous, tired,
and feel all worn out; puffy swellings
show under the eyes or in the feet and
ankles; and many other symptoms are
noticed. If they are neglected, dropsy,
diabetes, or Bright's disease, which so
often prove fatal, may result.
1t is not only dangerous, but need
less for you to suffer and endure the
tortures of these troubles. for the new
discovery, Croxone, quickly and surely
ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the prompt cure Of all such
troubles than this new scientific prep
aration, because 1t removes the cause.
It soaks right into the kidneys,
through the walls and Innings; cleans
out the clogged up pores: neutraiizes
and dissolves the poisonous uric acid
and waste matter that lodge in the
Joints and muscles and cause those
terrible rheumatic pains, and makes
the kidneys filter and slft the poison
out of the blood and drive it from the
system.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. 1t is so pre-
pared that it is practically impossible
to take it into the human system with
out results.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle, and all druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price If Croxone should

day for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back

WILL WASH MONEY.
Government Mint Laundry in Full
Swing This Week.

Washington, May 1.-THE govern
ment's money laundry will be in full
swing this week when the treasury de-
partment will begin the operation of four
currency washing machines, turning
out daily 100000 washed and ironed
notes which otherwise would be de-
stroyed
simultaneously with this experiment.
the question forbidding the washing of
money because of the alleged danger
of counterfeiting, is being agitated in
congress.
Secretary McAdoo and Urea surer
Burke, however, have announced their
intention to give the machines a trial,
devoting particular attention to the
danger of the counterfeiting.
1t is claimed the laundry will save
the government a half million dollars
or more yearly. The department has
arranged to reduce the working force
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing-the governments mandatory of
money, by 400 employees, principally
plate engravers and their helpers, al
though it is said that probably not
more than so or 80 printers will lose
their jobs. Advocates of the washing
machine claim it will reduce the out
put of the big printery by $40, DOC, 900 each
year.

GOOD WILL TO ALL
Nations of World Asked to Join
Client Celebration.
May Set Aside international
Rivalry and War.

New York, May 1.-THE nations of

nicipality of Client in making the Gel
ebration of 100 years of peace among
English speaking people signallze a
new era of international good Will
The invitation was issued by the inter-
national conferees now in this coun-
try arranging this celebration The
American secretary of state and the
British secretary of state for foreign
affairs are asked to transmit the in
vitation to other governments.
The manifesto adopted by the con-
ferees says:
I'VE invite such cooperation that
to the end that it may be made clear
and unmistakable to public opinion
everywhere that the time has come
when international rivalries and dit
ferences, though numerous and Sc
we're may be settled without the car
mage and horrors of war. Although II
be unreasonable to disregard the pos
sibility of conflict arising in the fu-
ture, out of mutual or partial misun-
derstanding, yet we gratefully recoS-
nize that the chances of misunder-
standing have been largely eliminated
by the degree in which modern
science has facilitated intercourse and
accelerated communication. We are,
therefore, encouraged to hope that the
development of letters, science and
the arts Oh lnuuSlAy
finance, of mutual knowledge, trust
and good feeling on the part of those
who owe different allegiances and
who speak different tongues. may pro
fitably absorb the energy of mankind
as well as offer opportunity for the
display of the noblest and finest
traits of mind and of character.
Great Britain has been a coloniz-
ing nation and the United States has
drawn to its population various and
powerful elements from different
countries and from different flags.
Therefore, a century of peace between
Great Britain and her dominions, be
yond the seas on the one hand ard
the United States on the other hanl
touches directly both the interests ana
ina gination of every land to which
Great Britain sons have gone, well as
those of every nation from which the
present day population of the United
States has been drawn. Such a cele-
bration will not only close a century
of exceptional significance and impor-
lance. but it will call attention to an
example and an ideal that we earnest
" hope may be followed and pursued
in years to come. What nations have
done, nations can do

QUEER HEADDRESs IN CHINA
Married Women of Mongolia initiate
Elephant Ears With Their Hair,
for Purpose.

The headdress of the Monaghan
woman is very complicated affair.
When the hair is made up in the
shape of elephants ears 1t indicates
matrimony and when worn In tail it
means that the woman is spinster.
In order to give this shape to the hair
the woman makes parting in the
middle of her head, then drenches the
hair, each side by turn, with pleas
ing mixture of fish glue and grease.
When it is thoroughly soaked she
spreads the upper part out thinly in
such way that at its broadcast 1t
measures about six inches wide. To
keep the hair in this shape she en-
ploys wooden clips, which. when the
hair is dry, are replaced, IL she can
afford it, by silver or golden ones.
The lower part OF the hair is made
into plat, with silver or golden
ornament at the end to prevent 1t
coming undoDe.
These silver or golden clips and
hair ornaments are often set with
precious stones and princesses even
have the whole OF the plat hidden
by means of silver or golden rings.
As the making up of the hair takes
whole day and the Mongol women are
very lazy and not particularly clearly
in their habits, IL is not surprising to
learn that this operation is performed
by, some once a weak, by others once
month and yet others pretty low

sickness when carried long distances
upon the ocean For that reason many
rare and interesting specimens cap
tured in tropical countries cannot be
brought alive to this country.
In recent shipment of 400 fish
more than 100 died on the way, and
the remainder arrived in a condition
that required heroic treatment to save
their lives
According to this it may be pre-
sumed that the agony endured by
humans when the ship begins to pitch
and roll is as nothing compared with
the same sufferings of tank-inelosed
fish.
As a precaution the fish are prac-
tically starved for at least one day
before being taken on board. The
galvanized iron tanks, in which the
fish are carried, contain from ten to
fifty gallons of sea water kept at d
constant temperature of about 6S de-
grees by steam from the ships boilers
during the trip.
