Lighted Up" Internally
He Picks Out Icy Lawn
as Most Desirable Bed

So sleepy was Thomas King,
thirty years old, of So Burnet
street, early this morning that a
lawn at James and Summit streets
appealed to him as being one of the
most desirable beds in the world.
He removed his coat, vest and hat,
piled them carefully together,
stretched himself out on the rem
nants of grass. 1t was somewhat
chilly. but King was too much
lighted up internally to notice.
Sergeant Kenny CHANGED upon the
slumberer short time afterward,
reused him with difficulty, and sent
him to the Second precinct police
station. Had he been fifteen minutes
later King would have been frozen
solidly to the ground. Judge Herr
let King off under suspended sem
tence.
ut is a good thing to sleep out of
DOORS" remarked the judge, but 1
wouldn't advise you to do 1T when
you rem OF sober"

SEVENTY-F|VE DIE
ASTRAL BOAT IS
DASHED ON ROCKS
Tragedy Results as LabOrers
Try to Cross River in
British Columbia.

WINNIPEG, Man, Jan. 6.-Dashed
to death on the rocks in the Fraser
river, British Columbia, or swept to
their doom by the swift current was
the fate of seventy-five laborers en-
ployed by the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad, according to Angelo Pug
liese. one of the twenty-five who man
aged to escape when the fiatboat in
which they were being transported
across the river was wrecked on a
rock.
Pugliese reached Winnipeg today.
He says that the twenty-five who es-
capped were all injured. The tragedy
occurred in British Columbia, west of
Fort George.
Pugliese says a change in the loca-
tion of the work necessitated the
crossing of the Fraser. The 100 labor
ers put away from shore in a frail
craft, which became unmanageable.
1t was dashed to pieces on rock in
the middle of the torrent.

IS CHILD CROSS,
FEVER|SH, SICK.
Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give california
Syrup of Figs"

Children love this fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result
is they become tightly c1ogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-siclS, feverish, don't eat
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Motherl See If tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of California
Syrup of Figs" and In q few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
system. and you have a well, playful
child again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it
never fails to act on the stomach,
liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for a 50..cent bot
tie of California Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be-
ware of counterfeits sold here. Get
the genuine, made by california Fig
Syrup Company" Refuse any other
kind with contempt.

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Back
achy or have Bladder
trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing, I'LL the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel 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
is cloudy, full of sediment; the chan
nels often get irritated, obliging you
to get up two or three times during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
{ disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive: harmless and makes
a delightful effervescent lithia-w water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus
avoiding serious kidney and bladder
diseases.

SKY DEFENSES

And now, the aeroplane having
shown its merit as a war engine, the
nations must put up shields against
it. Great Britain is first, its govern
ment having decided to dot the
coasts of the British Isles with
towers armed with guns particularly
designed to cripple the war birds.
England, once happy in the belief
of her impregnability, has only re-
Gently awakened TO sense of her
own weakness. She has discovered,
in her own sham conflicts, that while
she may be right she is far from
tight. And some of her neighbor
nations are showing all the symp-
toms of war-itch. All these neigh
bors have flccks of aeroplanes and
Girigible balloons. Germany has 375
planes to England's 1870, while
France has $50, Russia 315, Italy
270 and Austria 220.
The English imagination has dwelt
SO long on the Kaiser's flock of air
ships that the towers will bring
e. certain psychological relief, if
nothing mere. They should, of
course, be of real use in defending a
naval station like Portsmouth.

TEACHING SEX TRUTHS.

The National Educational Associ-
alton convention at st. Paul yester-
day listened to 4 discussion of the
question of teaching sex hygiene in
the schools. The speakers were
practically unanimous in opposition
TO assuming that responsibility, and
the sentiment developed by the con-
vcntion was plainly with them.
Ever since discussion of this line
of instruction became general, there
has been apparent a disposition
among teachers and parents alike to
dodge a bit. 1t is not remarkable
that this should be true. Neither
teachers nor parents have been
trained to the special knowledge,
and to the art Of conveying it to
children, that is involved in such a
course of instruction. Parents in
many cases feel a curious delicacy
about dealing with the subject in the
instruction of their own children.
These would be glad to have the task
turned over to teachers, physical
and other functionaries

SHARP CONTROVERSY
OVER NOMINATIONS
Senate Opposition to Morris,
Named for Swedish Post,
Arises.

An unusual situation with respect to
Presidential appointments prevails IN the
Senate.
Not only is there strenuous opposition
to two Of the Federal Reserve Board
appointments, Thomas d. Jones and
Paul NJ Warburg. but a fight has been
started on Ira Nelson Morris. appointed
minister to Sweden.
Because Morris is connected with the
family of Nelson Morris. the big Chi
cago packer, and because he himself
was a defendant in certain of the Beef
trust litigation. notice of opposition to
his confirmation has been served in the
Senate.
The Foreign Relations Committee has
reported favorably on his pomination.
Senator Hitchcock opposed the report.
Senators Kenyon. Bristow. and others
have let it be known they will fight
Morris confirmation.
All Indications are that there are days
of sharp controversy ahead in execu-
tive session over both the Reserve Board
situation and over Morris.

SEX HYGIENE TALKS
National Education Association
Hears Demand That Parents
Should Awaken.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. July 9.-The teach
ing of sex hygiene will never be dele
gated to the American teacher If 1t
can be prevented by the National Edu-
cation Association.
DR.. Charles II. Keene. of Minneapolis,
supervisor OF hygiene and physical
training, led the discussion and created
a stir by his condemnation of the So
ciety loving. club going woman, who, he
said, is making the problem of sex in
struction to children a vital one.
The only thing now in the home -
he said. lis the feeding and clothing of
the children. A glance at the clothing
which our young girls wear upon the
streets and an investigation of the aver
age breakfast will prove how the home
has fallen off in the fulfillment even
of these duties.
Let the teachers look after the eyes
and ears of our children. but please a.
low the mothers to take care of their
morals"
n. d. Showalter. president OF Cheney

Ways Of Thrift
By L. E. WOLF, Educator.

School ChildTen's Thrift Competition.
The school garden thrift contest of
the American Society for Thrift has
disclosed practical thrift in contending
with the high cost of living that Is
real and suggestive. Children from all
over the country competing for the
Straus prizes sent to the Chicago head
quarters true stories of people whom
they know who had best illustrated
thrift In gardening. The following
was written by a little girl In Wor-
eester, Mass:
Last summer l had a garden. I
bought two dollars worth of vegetable
seeds. 1 planted corn, beans. peas and
Sucumbers In my garden. When my
cuctmbers in my garden were up two
inches, / put tent Of netting over
them and sprinkled on ashes to kill
the bugs. They soon grew to touch
the netting. When l took this off !
were fine. They lasted until the mid
die of october. The peas were few
but good. All summer we did not buy
vegetables from the markets.
doubled my money three times that
year."
Another from Fond du Lac, Wis,
Eleanor Smith, recognizes thrift when
she sees it.
Clarence Smith, IS Carpenter street,
Fond du Lac. Wis, sells horseradish
every Saturday. He digs 1t on Friday,
washes 1t. CRATES 1t, and sells on Satur-
day. After he has cut off the roots
he plants the tops again, so as to grow
more horseradish. The money he earns
enables him to take violin lessons"
There are two wide-awake thrift
children in Sioux Falls, s; Done mani
Testing thrift and the other seeing and
writing about II.
There is a boy named Enos Jones.
He lives on the corner of Main avenue
and Seventeenth street. He has half an
acre of land. He raises mostly toma-
three plum trees. He sells the plums
and his vegetables He has bought
him a bicycle and buys most Of his
clothes. He has bank account. Every
summer he goes camping with the Boy
Scouts. He has croquet set and bas-
ketball grounds. He has a pair of
roller skates and ice skates he bought
with his own money"
Sadie weissman, of East st. Louis,
told how a family debt was lifted by
thrift:
South OF East St Louis. near Caho-
kia, lives Miss Reble and her blind
mother. Miss Reble's father died when
she was very young, and left very little
money and a small piece of land near
Cahokia. Miss Reble being only twelve

vate all the land, so she took piece
about sixty feet square, and planted all
kinds of vegetables on II. Before the
vegetables were grown Miss Reble and
her mother were deep in debt. but when
she sold the produce sue found that II
covered all OF her bills
The writer of the prize story was
awarded 500 by the president OF the
American Society for Thrift, Simon w.
Straus. The four who were rated sec
ond best received IS. and each
went to writer's of the ten third best
stories, or. II the children prefer, they

outside the home. But these con-
template the duty with no more
satisfaction than do the parents.
1t is very evident that a new atti-
tude of mind among both children
and parents must I've developed, be-
fore anything like systematic work
in this important direction will be
possible. On just one point there
seems something near to general
agreement: that in some way the
child ought at the right period to
be advised as to the elemental facts
about life. Perhaps after all, the
beginnings must be made in the
preparation of parents themselves,
and of teachers An well. fsp under
taking this work.
