SOUTH DAKOTA

The gem industry OF the United
States in 1913 was marked by a fairly
large output of sapphire, a real ad-
vance in the work of testing the Ar
kansas diamond field, and a greater
sctivity in the Nevada opal field. There
was, however, a decrease in the pro-
auction of most of the other gems
mined. The total production was val
ued at $319,454, according to ID. IS.
Sterrett, of the United States geological
survey. The output of the sapphire in
Monies q was the largest aver reported
TO the survey. and the value is esti-
mated at S23&,635, or over $40, 600
more han in 1912. The sapphire con-
sisted of blue and vari-colored gems
and culls for mechanical purposes.
Many new claims were located in the
Nevada opal field, the development OF
which, along with those previously
opened, resulted In a fairly large out
put of beautiful gems. The imports
of precious stones for 1913 were valued
at S45,431, 998, and were the largest in
the history of the industry.

when David Vanattah, sheriff in MUS
catine, acknowledged the possibility
that the mysterious prisoner may be
the former Rock Island woman, but
he refused to corroborate the report.
Mrs. Littig wrote to the Muscatine
police two days ago. but since has re-
ceived no answer. The failure in re-
ceiving a reply from the officials is
believed to be indicative that the
chances are strong that the woman
of mystery is the local laundress.

occasionally. says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-

become sluggish and weaken, then you
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,
obliping YOU to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, TO
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces or
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for n few days
and YOUR kidneys will then act fine This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
