GEORGIA BLooDHoUNDs

convicts about him, may slip his chain

meet his fellow prisoners again, may
run to and from among them Or walk
with them a mile and leave them.
Six hours after these hounds, put on
his track where he slipped the camp,
will follow him to where he met his
gang, will tread his track in and about
with hundreds of tracks, take it up
where he leaves them and run him
down though he cross convict gangs
every mile he runs.
This escaping convict, clad in stripes
cut from the same bolt with hundred
others, may run through the woods,
touching weeds and bushes as he runs.
Fifty other convicts may run through
the same woods in every direction.
The dogs will hold his scent, running
full tilt, breast high. If he makes a
curve of forty-fve degrees the dogs
will not run the line, but will catch his
scent thirty yards away and across the
angle, though it were filled with the
convicts who had eaten and slept with
the fugitive.

PUT STOMACH IN
| FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From An
Excess of Hydrochlor1c
Acid

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us that
Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity,
meaning, there is an excess of hydro
chlorie acid in the stomach which pre-
vents complete digestion and starts food
fermentation. Thus everything eaten
sours in the stomach much like garbage
sours in can, forming acrid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like a
toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy,
lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up
gas. we eructate sour food or have
heartburn, fatulence, water-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar.
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and drink while it is
effervescing and furthermore, to con.
tinue this for week. While relief fol
lows the first dose, it is important to
neutralize the acidity, remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote a free
flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.-Adv.

DIDN'T TAKE THE HOLE
But That Was Probably Because the
Court Said They Shouldn't

An amusing instance of legal sharp
practice is set forth in the annals of
Westerly, R. |. 1t occurred hundred
years ago, when, it seems lawyers were
quite as adroit at quibbling as certain
of their successors are to-day.
A farmer of broken fortunes hired
for cultivation piece of land, agree.
ing to pay for the use thereof with a
certain proportion of the crop. He
planted potatoes and had an unusual
degree of success. Being without a
storeroom, he obtained the consent Of
a neighboring lanldholder and deposited
his share of the potatoes in what farm
ers call potato hole-'that is, an ex-
cavation in the earth in which the po-
tatoes are placed and covered with
earth and straw in the form of a pyra-
mid.
Shortly afterward he had occasion to
GO to Connecticut, and one of his cred
itors seized the opportunity to attach
the potato hole.
Upon this another creditor bestirred
himself and consulted a lawyer as to
what could be done to secure his claim,
The attorney was equal to the occasion.
He secured the issuing of second
writ, by which AN attachment was lev
led upon the potatoes in the potato
hole, the documents specifically setting
forth that the potato hole should be left
upon the land where it was found.
The warrant was promptly served,
and when the first creditor appeared
upon the scene he found the potato
hole, but not the potatoes.-Case and

Capri's Quaint Inn, Where Poor Artists
Can Get Free Board

Capri, beautiful in itself, offers an
irresistible invitation to artists, since it
has an inn where any one, by painting
picture on the wall can get free
board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
its perennial summer, its blue grotto
and its lemon groves, came some fifty
years ago a ruined artist. He opened
an inn and died rich. In his will. leav-
ing the inn to his heirs, he made these
conditions:
The charge per day, two bottles of
red Capri wine included, is never to be
more than 6 francs.
"1f any artist is too poor to pay
he shall paint picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommodation
accorded to those paying the highest
price.
eff any German artist shall come to
the inn he shall be accommodated and
shall receive the amount of his fare to
Germany upon his promising never to
return to Italy"
The inn is conducted to-day on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings Now and then German
artist gets his fare home.-Cincinnat
