Sil- verman called on his lawyers We'd nesday and got an account of all but $100 and that was the part of his money which was put up for Annie Smith, who was arrested with him. She claimed the money was her prop erty and when her case waSrsettled the sum of $100 was paid her. Annie Smith went to New York as soon as she was freed.

: KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take glass of Salts to flush out your Kidneys and neutralize irri-
 tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scaldtng sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obligtng you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While 1t is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in @ glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Hthia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.

 Code of Signals.
 Mrs. Annie Davis, wife of Thomas P. Davis, said that she was a neigh bor of the Sheffields, having known them about 16 years and having known the defendant about 12.

Beckwith discontinued go- ing to the side door and climbed through a window in the rear of the house.

Sciatica Gives
 Fair Warning
Start Taking Rheuma at Once and Prevent Rheumatism
 from Becoming Chronic

Sharp, darting pains from the hips down the legs to the knee are signals of approach of sciatica, and should be treated at once to prevent rheuma- tism becoming chronic.
 Rheuma disIodges the little uric acid crystals in the blood vessels feeding the great sciatic nerve and creates a free movement of the muscles and joints It stimulates the kidneys, liver, bowels and skin to extra work in throwing off the irritating poisons throughout the system.
 Read the testimony of Guy Torley, the great cyclist, of 265 Dayton Ave, St. Paul, Minn.: T was so crippled with sciatic rheumatism in my hips that could not walk without crutches. I spent over $500 without relief. Was persuaded to try Rheuma, and after taking three bottles the rheumatism had entirely left me-"
 Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell Rheuma. It is good for all forms of rheumatism, and costs so little you cannot afford to suffer for want of it.
