VINCENT ASTOR GIVES
LAND WORTH S25.00O

POUGHKEEPSIA, y. Y, Aug. 10,
Vincent Astor has presented to the
village of Rhinecliff a strip of land
to be used by the village as a high
way leading to the New York Central
station
The village tried to buy this prop
erty several months ago for highway
purposes, but the owner refused TO
sell for less than $4,000. The village
could not afford to pay this and the
project was given up.
The much fanted land extends
through what is known as the Holli-
day Farm When Astor learned that
the village sought the land so as tc
open a new approach to the railroad
he opened negotiations for the pur.
chase. He finally closed a deal and
it was announced that he had Offered
the land to the village without price
The gift was accepted, and with the
aid of Astor, the village officials will
begin at once the work of laying ou
| a\highway.

Data of Ancients Found.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The London
Society of Antiquaries will soon hold
at Burlington House, an interesting
exhibition of the papyrean and other
fragments discovered by the Egypt
Exploration Fund at Antonoe. OXyr
hynchus and other sites of ancient
civilization on the upper reaches of
the Nile, hundreds of miles south of
Cairo.
That human nature has not altered
much is shown by an order for an in
quest on a slave who had fallen off
the roof of a house in his anxiety
TO secure a good view of some dane
ing girls; an announcement of some
lthletic sports; allusions to horse rae
pawnbroker and a curious indictment
by a wife of cross grained husband
who refused to give her the house
hold keys adm bolted the door when
she had gone out to church.
The preparations common in mod
ern villages on the occasion of the
visit of a member of parliament have
an interesting prototype in letter or.
dering certain civil officials to have
everything ready for the visit of a
Roman senator, including the bur
which he was to throw to the sacred
crocodiles. These vivid historical
snapshots seem to bring the dead past
of Graeco-Roman Egypt very near.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR

DER BOTIIERS.

We are a nation OF meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid. says
a well-known authority, who warns
us TO be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish: the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood TO poison the entire sys-
tenn.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps OF lead and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine Is cloudy full OF sediment or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
TO seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches. nervous
and dizzy spells sleeplessness. acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth
er, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces OF Jad Salts; take n ta-
blespoonful in n glass OF water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia. and has been used fol
generations to flush and stimulate
ciogged kidneys. to- neutralize the
acids in urine so It is no longer @
source OF irritation, thus ending uri'
nary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive and canno
injure; makes delightful efferves

can make a mistake by taking littl'
occasionally TO keep the kidneys clear

In the enormous issues now at stake
II is not merely France or Russia or
England we have to consider. but the
destiny OF European civilization
which will now be decided by the force
of arms.
The result will be either the main
tenance OF a fine diversity OF culture
among the independent peoples, or
the execrable unit of German manu-
facture. Thus our cause Is the cause
OF all nations and all governments
who do not separate the sentiment or
ntaional dignity from the conception
Of life based on national tradition.
We Frenchmen who are sending
our sons to battle, who are traitor
ously menaced in the very roots OF
our life. are resolved to save all that
We can save OF our greatest contribu-
tions to civilization.
BY defending ourselves we become
the champions Of all.
We march with England. who. her
self. In the age of iron thought Ia
dominate us. We had TO fight for one
hundred years to win back our inde-
pendence; then Great Britain threw
herself In the economic world con-
test and build up an immense empire
OF which civilization can only be
proud Now she Is nobly drawing the
sword for the liberty and dignity OF

lief Of the authorities until last We'd
nesday, when Public Administrator
Hynes asked the police to locate the
trunk Of the dead man.
"A communication from Lamaack's
relatives in Pendleton, Ore, to Hynes
asking for the delivery of the trunk
and contents brought to light the fact
that the trunk ordered sent to a local
warehouse by the public administra-
tor on December never reached its
destination.
"ln the communication from the
oregon relatives much stress is placed
on the loss OF a packet of photo
graphs and important papers known
to have been in the trunk. but while
they hint at the possibility Of La
mack having been done away with
that these might be secured, they
make no explanation as to the nature
OF the documents"
