Two New Jersey Policemen Capture

West Orange, N, 1.-Two policemen
captured a burglar the other night.
found the culprit had been MORALLY
wounded. and killed him to end his
sufferings.
Returning to his home on Valley
Road at midnight Thorwald Jensen,
an Edison works employee. heard
strange noises on the second floor.
So did his wife and she fed with her
child.
Jensen took gun from a closet
and started up the stairs. But a
crash caused him to retire for second
thought. Four policemen arrived,
summoned by Mrs. Jensen. Two
waited outside while two others en-
tered. They went up the stairs and
heard these strange noises. Draw
ing their revolvers they shouted:
Surrender, or we'll fret"
No answer came. so the two blue
coats rushed into the pitch dark
room. A blow from an unseen source
knocked OF Patrolman O'Connor's hat
AS he swung his revolver it caught
IN his coat and was discharged.
Just then the other policemen found
the push button and switched on a
food Of electric light They looked
around.
They saw nobody. Yet pictures lay
on the floor, flung from the walls. The
policemen stared around again and
the mystery was solved. Perched on
a chiffonier was a wild duck. 1t had
flown into the room In the storm and
had imprisoned itself by knocking
over the stick which propped up the
window. O'Connor's bullet had struck
the duck on the leg. 1t was killed as
an act of mercy.

TESTS BROUGHT UP TO DATE
Two That Have Their Origin in the
Financial Problems That Con-
front the Housewife.

From the cost of living two jests
are evolved for us.
The first is about a young couple
who have discovered how to make
both ends meet They begin dinner
with oxtail soup and end with head
cheese. You'll have to study quite a
while to get this one.
The other Is about another young
couple who have tried to economic
by going back on the soil" Their ten
acres and freedom was at the edge of
a virgin forest. They lived on vege-
tables they raised-meat was too dear
to be thought of. But one snowy day
the husband took his gun and started
for the woods.
He had been gone two hours. when
his wife heard his CHEEKY shout. She
rushed to the door-he was coming
with the carcass of some creature he
had slain.
"Meat-meat at last" he shouted.
What sort of meat?" she cried.
"Venison."
She sank to the ground in a state
of utter collapse. 1--WE can't eat it,"
she sobbed over and over again. Ven
ison is deer, too,"-Cleveland Plain

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray: also ends dandruff. itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair bee mes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages Of uric acid poisoning. It kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Brights disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, If discovered early. so it is well
to know the early signs of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a.
cold, or fever. by overwork, or by over
lndulgences, the acid collects. the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness. heart palpitation, and
a dull. heavy-headed. drowsy feeling
with disturbances Of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney. or crystallizes into Jagged bits
in the muscles. joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
Of neuralgia, rheumatism, govt, sciat-
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

HOW TO GET A NEW DRESS
Jostle the Hotel Walters
Elbow.

Hotel men in this town have joined
forces to discourage the woman who
deliberately jostles the waiter so that
he spills food on her dress and then
claims damages therefor. According
to a manager, one New York woman,
says the Evening World of that city,
visited five hotels on five successive
evenings, and in each case caused a
bowl Of soup to be upset over her
gown. Hereafter, detectives will keep
an eye on diners and note whether the
waiter or the guest does the splitting
1t used to be related of impecunious
young army officers in London that
when they hadn't the price of a meal
they went to a swagger restaurant
and toward the close of an elaborate
dinner slipped a cockroach into the
Ice cream. Then, after a tremendous
outcry, they marched Indignantly
forth, followed by abject apologies
from the proprietor-and, of course,
not hint about paying for the din
ner.
If New York men descend to such
tricks we rarely hear of 1t. But we
grieve to note the subterfuge of a
New York woman when she needs a
new dress.

HIS MIND ON HIGHER THINGS
Scholar Unable to Sit Down and Rea-
son Quietly on Matters Of
Everyday Life.

A monument was recently unveiled
to the memory of Henri Po..caire, the
famous mathematician az,d physicist,
who was a cousin of enc president of
France. The OCCASION recalls a story
Or two of his remarkable absent-mind-
edness.
Almost every day Poincaire left his
money lying about somewhere. Final
ly his mother sewed his purse into the
pocket of his coat. But one day,
when he had dressed in a hotel, he
put on his overcoat without the coat,
and left that lying on a chair. Need
less to say, he never saw the purse
again.
One evening he was looking in
closed bookcase for a manuscript.
During the search he set the lamp on
a shelf in the case. and In a moment
of abstraction sclosed the door of the
cabinet, and sat down in darkness.
After he had pondered for time on
came to the conclusion that he had
suddenly become blind. That seemed
to him quite possible, since his eyes
were weak, anyway, and he groaned
at the thought of his deplorable con-
dition. Suddenly. to his surprise, a
stream of light appeared coming from
the adjoining room and he remarked.
with much satisfaction: My sight
seems to have come back again" Not
even then did he think of the lamp in
the bookcase,-Youth's Companion.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER
TO FLUSH THE KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for
eackache or Bladder Trouble
NeutraIize Acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps Of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the kid
neys clog you must help them flush
on the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces Of Jad Salts: take a table
spoonful in a glassstf water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so 1t no longer is a source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, cannot in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while 1t is only trouble
