SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which cloqs Kidneys, then Back hurts and
 Bladder bothers you

Most folks forget that the kidneys. like the bowels get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasion ally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches. rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces Of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. com bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive, makes a delightful effervescent Hthia. water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plicatons
 A wellknown local druggist says be sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

ing in his mind whether to put the boy through an examination. Lieuten- ant Kearney seldom needed aid from his chief He was a detective of ex- perience and one who could safely be trusted to clear up any case.
 Ranscombe turned to the pile of doe uments on his desk.
 "Take him to the identification de- partment and go ahead with the case" he instructed the detective.
 The fingers Of Kearney's right hand gathered up the folds of his prisoners sleeve until his grip became viselike. He wheeled about and started for the corridor, the boy half staggering along with him.
 In the main hall of the building they took a rattling and palsled elevator to the top floor Here they entered a small, dingy room where were scales, a large tripod with a camera topping it and an iron frame for holding in position the head of the subject to be photographed.
 Two identification experts in uniform took the prisoner in hand and photo graphed him, profile and full face
 Montgomery was then placed on small platform and his height measure. meut made One of the experts filled in an identification sheet as the other took the length Of the prisoners arms and legs, the circumference of the trunk at the navel and the hips and the chest measurement With a steel compass the measurement between the base of the nose and the base Of the skull was made The expert called or the length and breadth Of the right ear in droning voice. All the figures went down in ink on the identification blank, a piece of white cardboard six inches wide by four in length
 The man at the desk put down his pen and left his chair. advancing to the prisoner. He stopped directly be fore him and fastened his eyes on Montgomery's as if to hypnotize him.
 The prisoner returned the gaze, his pupils dilating as fear crept into his heart-a fear that he could not define He had not slept in thirty-six hours. and he had not eaten in twenty-four.

ry in flight would not know the faces of the men after them.
 Montgomery's head was swimming. and his heart going like a trip hammer when he was showed into a prison van with the others and taken to the Jeffer- son Market police court in the lower west side to be arraigned.
 As dismal as was the interior of the ill lighted courtroom. the first glimpse of the black robed magistrate brought a feeling of relief to Montgomery. He was in court of justice, an institution designed for people in the very plight in which he found himself. The inno- cent would here find protection. and the guilty would receive punishment. The courts were as much for the peo- pie as for the police. he thought.
 As the linesof prisoners edged along in front of fhe magistrates desk he began to frame the words he would say fin his own behalf Surely he would be given a chance to declare his innocence.
 At last it came his turn. He stepped AENa AAI AAAAAN NAIh 4AANA huOMu Ah Nnh bridge and looked over the edge of the magistrates desk. The magistrate did not look at the prisoner, but gave all his attention to a document placed before him by a clerk at his right hand. He signed 1t and gave it to De- tective Kearney. who held fast to the sleeve of the accused. The policeman on duty at the bridge pulled back the prisoner, and Kearney started or through the crowd with him In his right hand the detective held the docu- ment committing Montgomery to the Tombs to await an investigation of the charge against him and an indictment by the grand jury.
 Within half hour from the time he stepped upon the bridge with his pro- test of innocence ready on his lips James Montgomery was in a cell in murderers' row in the Tombs.

 Inspector Banscom in charge of the central office of New York's police department gave the prisoner before him a second and more searching glance.
 The prisoner strengthened his well formed shoulders as he returned the glance He stood with a pair of thin and soiled hands clasped before him. There was a glint of steel at the wrists, the sleeves of his coat only partly hid ing the manacles that shamed him. His clothes were those of boy from the country, and he wore them awk- wardly in the bright, sunny room Of the chief of the city's detectives, where everything was spick and span and the uniforms of the office stan as trim and fresh as though just from the depart ments tailoring contractor.
 Ranscombe. man beyond the half century mark, short and ut times bru- tal in his speech, his heavy jaw and brisuing white mustache suggesting latent ferocity, felt a little tvinge at his heart as he told himself that this youth bore none of the marks of the born criminal

PROMINENT POINTS

In view of the nearneSS of a vote on canal tolls in the senate and the astonishing statement, which I trust s wholly without founGa ton, that the administration has offered to pay Colombia $25.- oOo. .o00 blackmail because Colom- bia behaved so badly in the past, 1 wish to say Word on the Pana- ma exemption clause
 Tt should not be repealed. There is no question that we have d legal and as unquestionably a nor al right to exempt our coastwise traffic from tolls.
 But if this is contested by any power interested with which we have an arbitration treaty. we should arbitrate, for we have eX- plicitly stated that the interpreta ton of treaties is a proper sub iect for arbitration.
 We must never make promises we don't keep.
 But to submit our cause to ar bitration when we believe it just is one thing. and to abandon it in ad- vance of arDitra tion is q totally different thing"
 Tt would be bad enough to re- peal the exemption clause in any event, but the circumstances under which this repeal is asked make it infinitely worse
 We progressives explicitly stat ed in our platform that we believed the coastwise traffic should be free from tolls
 Our platform was promise which We solemnly made. and not for the purpose of using it in an effort to get power and cynicallv abandon this promise afterwards"
 We regarded it as a covenant | with the people and solemn ob- ligati n.

 on the ground that justice demands it"
 Tt is asked on the ground that to take this action would help us in carrying out the feeble. timid involved course of conduct that for over a year has masqueraded as the foreign policy of the American gov ernment.

remember an old prophecy that the monastery would be destroyed by God upon the day that one of its inmates should yield to the love of women. The end. however. is happy Some of the monks leave the now "accursed" monastery, but the others persuaded by Myrrha, stay behind to worship new god, the God of Kindness, instead of the God of Sc yerity With them stay Myrrha, Daphne, and Dion as prophets of the religion of love.

NEW NORWEGIAN OPERA
 IS DER HE|L|FE BERG
Receives Great Reception From Pub
 lie. Herr Sinding Author

BERLIN. May 16.-IIerr Sinding's Der Heilige Berg the Norwegian composers first opera. was produc- ed recently in the Hoftheater at Des- sau in Anhalt The work had very good reception from the public, but critics do not praise it highly. The truth is that Sinding's genius is more lyrical that dramatic. The music is said to be very beautiful in parts and it's workmanship thor ough and scholarly: but it is defi- cient in real passion, and gives the impression that the composer is fol- lowing his models too closely and has not chosen a medium in which he is happy. The hero of the opera is a young Greek monk named Dion
 His father Phokas. formerly a monk of the monastery of san Geor- gio on Mount Athos, has left the piratical adventure. In one of these escapades the brother and father of his wife Myrrha are killed by his men, Myrrha deserts Phokas, who in revenge tears Dion from his mother and consigns him to the old
 monastery, here he is to be educat- ed by the monks and to have no because Myrrha sends girl named Daphne to take message to her son. Dion falls furiously in love with her There is passionate conflict in his soul, and the monks

even a dollar to nation which, in crooked greed, tried by desperate blackmail to smirch the good fame of America. Such a payment would be an act unworthy of any honorable man in the great office of presdent-
 ITO yield Panama tolls rights would be equally dishonorable.
 Regarding the governOrship Of New York Colonel Roosevelt said:
 The report is silly and prepos- terous. Under no circumstances would I accept such a nomination"
 Colonel Roosevelt calls equally foolish the tale of d United States senatorship.
 Colonel Roosevelt went ashore for paraede at the palace of the gov crnor of Para and for d lunch. The Brazilians went wild over him. He leaves tomorrow for New York.

BOXING GAME IN
MAINE IS GROWING

Portland, Me-, July 25.-While box
ing, although allowed by law, is prac-
tieally dead in this city, elsewhere in
Maine the outlook points to one of the
busiest seasons in the history of the
State. Clubs have been organized at
Boothbay. Old Orchard and Bangor.
while those at Lewiston and Biddeford
are preparing to take the field early in
September.
At Augusta, E. w. Hanks conducts
the biggest and finest club in the State
and beginning with Aug. l, when Mike
Glover, the Boston welter. meets
Young Moriarity there, is planning to
run glove tournaments on an average
of every two weeks.
At Bangor. the Queen City Sporting
Club is planning similar campaign.
and will stage its first tournament on
Aug. II.
Here in Portland the sport has been
on the decline since the death of Jack
Galley. who for years ran big club
with much success. Inability of the
promoters to secure talent worth while
because of their having no representa-
tives in Boston and New York, also
petty jealousy, has had much to do
with spelling the sport here.

Wonderful Feat of
S0ckalexis in Sweden
Bangor Benefit Aug. %

Two years ago this month one of
the hottest days that the people of
Sweden ever felt, the famous Mara
thon that now goes down into history
as the most gruelling contest ever
held, was run.
The two men who finished first and
second were under doctors care for
three days. a Portuguese runner died
the next morning. several men were
in the state of collapse after running,
few were unable to finish. Andrew
Sockalexis of Old Town at that time
finished fourth, running strongly with
apparently no distress and his condi-
ton brought forth more prolonged
cheering than was received by any
runner participating.
The Swedish papers the following
morning gave Sockalexis credit for
running the best race and if only
little more head work had been used
in planning his final squirt he would
have been the winner. The hot wealth
er, change of diet and the nervous ten
sion that goes with events of this kind
on strange grounds, proved too much
for the Indian.
Shortly after coming back to Ameri-
ca, he forced the three mile champion
OF New England at Boston to almost
record time and was beaten by inches.
At Maplewood park on Memorial day,
1913. Sockalexis tried to run a race but
collapsed and since that time has been
unable to take part in anything per-
tanning to athletes.
He is now at the sanatorium at He
bron and his friends are arranging for
an athletic benefit for him, to be held
Aug. %, in Bangor.
