IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Baekache is sign you have been
eating too much
meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
It generally means you have beeneeat-
Ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
hackache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night
Either consult good, reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces Of lad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water 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,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

lar meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive.

RAILROAD COAL
ELEVATOR BURNS
Big Bin, IS Feet High, Containing $50
Tons Of Coal. Badly Damaged
by Fire To-
day.
SPECTACULAR
High Wind and Height Of the Tower
Made It Hard for Firemen to
Get Water on
Flames.

The coal elevator of the C. B. 6 Q.
railroad, located just beyond the low
er end Of the yards. caught fire early
this afternoon and was badly dam
aged before the fire could be checked
The fire caught in the top of the
structure which is eighty-flve feet
high. 1t is not known how the fire
started.
The elevator contained over $50
tons Of coal when the fire broke out
and 1t was feared that If the fire
once obtained q start insthisscoal that
it would be almost impossible to save
either the building or the contents.
By the time the fire department made
the long run to the elevator, the top
of the tower was mass of flames
and was completely destroyed.
A high wind made the frame build
ing burn furiously. The height Of
the tower. combined with the wind
made it possible for the firemen to
get very little water on the blaze I'M
til it had burned downward twenty
feet toward the bottom of the shaft.
11Sdfy PlCScS VI uldLluS IlhipCAo %
blown loose by the wind, made it
dangerous for the firemen to attempt
to climb to the top of the elevator
until after the fire had been burning
for half an hour. 1t was also feared
the top Of the tower might fall.
BY climbing to the top of a freight
car. the firemen finally managed to
turn a spray of water on the top of
the building, combining the fire to the
inside until another line of hose
could be carried to the top and a
stream of water sent down upon the
fire. This prevented the fire from
gaining a start in the coal and made
it possible to work to advantage in
spite of the wind.
Passenger train Number 8, on tne
C. B., and O., due here at 1:4S, was
held for half an hour Just below the
elevator while the f1remen were work
ing on the burning building.
An accurate estimate Of the loss
could not be ascertained early this
afternoon, but 1t was thought to have
amounted to oye- $500. -

PRE-ICING FRUIT.

Washington, Jan. 26. The Interstate
commerce commissions order requiring
transcontinental railroads to permit
California orange shippers to pre-ice
and pre-cool their fruit going to eastern
cities, and limiting the charge for the
use of the Cars during the preceding
stage to 7.50, was upheld today by the
Supreme court.
The problem of transporting citrus
fruit over mountains, plains and desert
from California to eastern cities cul-
minated about 1909 in a fight over
whether the railroads would permit
shippers to ice the fruit cars or whether
the railroads could insist upon perform.
ing that service themselves as an Incl
dent to hauling the fruit.
The interstate commerce commission
ordered reduction from $50 to $3.50
about the amount necessary to cover
the wear and tear of placing the ice in
the bunkers. The railroads then with
drew the privilege of pre-icing on the
ground that pre-icing and preceding
of fruit was an act of transportation
and one the law required them to per
form.
J. The commission, however, held tina
the preceding and pre-icing was I
matter of preparation and not trans
portation, and required the railroads
to permit the shippers to perform tina
service, if they so elected. The Com
merce court decided it against tn
railroads and the railroads appealed
to the Supreme court of the United

Tells of Auto Bandits.

Yonkers, N. Y, Jan. 2O.-The York
ers police are investigating the story of
Herman Bernstein. aged 10, of $50
Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, who claims
that he was held up by highwaymen
and robbed of $25 at the point of a re-
volver here Saturday night.
Bernstein drove the confectionery de-
livery wagon of S. Strouch of 1887 Third
avenue, Manhattan. He told the police
that while he was driving along the
Bronx River road, late Saturday night,
he met an automobile. Three men. he
AYERS, got out, pointed pistol at him
and made him hand over all the money
he had. Then they got into their ma
chine and drove away, he declares.
A. Schmerdkracht, l5-year-old boy,
who was with Bernstein, corroborated
his story, but neither of the two were
able to give satisfactory description
of the robbers.
