One day to this shiny little palace
came a person In corduroys. They
were not fashionable corduroys, worn
with suede gloves, velour hat and

odor of the stable upon them.
They were obviously far out Of their
orbit in thus thrusting themselves into
the senatorial haberdashery. But IN
they went, mirrors and all.
The non-committal youngish man
who sported them asked supercilious
salesman to see underclothes. The
salesman, smiling that odor of the
stable, threw down one box on the
counter, the box containing heavy
wooden garment.

The corduroy person examined the
garment, looked up and said:

a second box. "One-fifty."

by Consul Osborne of Havre: In the

glicized as La Hogue), which was
fought May 10 to May "a, 1892, be-
tween the French feet under Admiral
de Tourville and the combined Eng.
lish and Dutch fleets, 16 French men
of-war we're entirely destroyed, and Of
these Is were sunk in the bay of Ste.
Vast, department of Manche, In this
consular district. In 1912 an engineer
OF Cherbourg, while engaged in dredg.
ing In this region, brought up two
bars OF silver stamped with the date
1892. This discovery has led the ad-
ministration Of maritime inscription of
La Hougue, department Of Manche, to
Invite public tenders for the salvage
of wreckage and treasure In the sunk
en- feet. The conditions are that the
contractor shall pay 20 per cent of any
specie or articles Of value recovered
to the pension fund of the marine.
The marine also reserves the right to
take, on the advice of experts, any OBJ.
jects discovered which possess his

Most OF the vessels sunk of the
island Of 1atihou are buried in the
sand and have never been source
of danger to navigation. An exception
to this, however, is the Terrible,
whose wreck sailors avoid with care.
The anchor Of the Magnifique also
constitutes a danger to trawlers.
About 80 years ago an unusually low
tide disclosed the hulk Of one Of the
sunken vessels, and cannon balls and
pieces Of artillery were taken out.
While the belief has always existed
that the wrecks contain valuable
treasure all efforts to recover 1t have
failed hitherto. Great interest, there

wage work. Some idea Of the extent
Of the wreckage may be obtained
from the following data respecting the
French vessels destroyed and sunk
during and after the battle, 16 French
men-of-war having been utterly de-
stroyed.
six men-of-war were burned and
sunk close to the island of Tatihou, as
follows: Terrible, carrying SO cannon

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take a glass of
Salts to flush out Kidneys
Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from Che acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with iithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, 80
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. Cannot in
jnre; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water 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 kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.
