A. r. Zoe1snan
In Auto, Rides
Into The River
Commission Man, in Effort to
Wash Off Mud, Skids Into
Deep Water and is Ship
wrecked.

A. R. Zoelsman, the well-known
commission man, in attempting to give
his automobile bath in the river yes
terday afternoon, grew careless of his
charge and permitted it to venture in
to deep water.
He had driven down the river front
into the shallow water along the edge,
and when he opened up the throttle
to go out further, the machine leaped
forward and the next instant was al
most submerged.
The engine gave a few spasmodic
sputters and then died, leaving Mr..
ZOelsman laundering around in the
bed of his water-logged roadster.
He finally succeeded in reaching the
open river, where the water was about
waist deep, and the current was so
swift that Mr.. zoelsman was COM
PEELED to cling to the side of the car
to prevent being washed away.
His shoes were filled with sand,
gravel and other irritating substances,
and by holding to the machine with
one hand, he succeeded in removing
his pedal projections with the other,
after which he appeared to be more at
ease.
His calls for assistance were heard
by Graham Dempsey, who rushed to
the scene and shouted directions to
his ship-wrecked partner. A man was
dispatched to the livery stable, where
a team of horses was procured for the
purpose of hauling the aquatic auto
back to dry land.
Normal conditions were quickly re-
stored and no damage resulted from
the unexpected and exciting expe-
rience.
Mr.. Zoelsman had made long drive
over some muddy country during the
day, and on his return concluded to
take the machine into the shallow wa
ter. H ventured too far, however,
with the result that his engine was
killed and the machine flooded.

Auto Goes For
"A Joy Ride And
Without Driver
Herman Loeffels Machine
Sparks Self, Runs Down
Hill and Leaps Into
Ravine- Contract
tor is Flabber-
sasted.

The mysterious action of Herman
Loeffel's automobile in spontaneously
sparkling, and taking a sudden sprint
down Pearl street unguided and unre-
strained, Saturday night, is still puz-
zle to its owner, and E. P. Ellis says
the perplexed contractor is wondering
whether the darkness of the night and
the close proximity to the graveyard
could by any possibility be responsible
for the freakish actions of the little
speed making contraption.
Mr.. Loeffel had driven up to his
front gate, and after stopping his en-
CINE, and making sure that his brakes
were secure, stepped out of the car
and ran in the house to obtain some
blue prints.
He had hardly gotten inside his door
when he heard the engine start with a
fOrceful whirring noise, and he imme-
diately rushed back to investigate and
see who was tampering with his ma
chine.
As he stepped into the darkness he
could see his car dashing wildly down
the street, and according to Mr.. FL
lis report he could distinguish the dim
outlines of a form bending over the
steering wheel and heading the ma
chine for the abrupt bluff at point
diagonally across the street. When the
car dashed over the precipice the mys-
FERROUS chauffeur evaporated as the
auto buried its nose in the bed of the
dope clay gully bordering the street.
The machine was considerably
wrecked, and Mr.. Loeffel is yet at a
loss to understand how the engine
could voluntarily resume action after
having been so securely stopped.

ASQUITH ACCUSED IN COMMONS
MISUNDERSTANDING MUNITIONS

London, June 28-Premier Asquith's
authority for the statement in his
speech at Newcastle, April 20, that
neither Great Britain nor her allies
were hampered by lack of munitions
was again demanded of the Cabinet
leader in the House of Commons this
afternoon and his refusal to give in
formation on the subject was met with
the assertion that his statement was
absolutely without foundation
Sir Arthur B. Markham, Liberal,
who raised the point and angrily
charged the Premier with perverting
the truth, said the original statement
cast slur upon Field Marshal Sir
John French.
Asquith's only reply was that Mark
ham was raising just the sort of point
most undesirable to raise.
Sir Arthur blurted out: as it in the
interests of the nation that the Prime
Minister should make a statement
which is absolutely without founda-
tom"
Cries of shame" and protestations
of "It's truth" led to brief excitement.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS IF YOUR
BACK HURTS OR BLADDER
BOTHERS - MEAT FORMS URIC
ACID.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys witr
Scalts occasionally, says a noted au-
tAority, who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel It
from the blood. They become sluggish
and weaken, then you suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizzihess, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated.
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the might.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here:
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from ire
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has geen used
for generations to flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also TO neutralize
the acids in urine, so it no longer irri-
tetes, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure and makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.

seen the unfortunate babe and decided
that she could not bear to look upon
him.
Not Cruel, Says Mother
mo one need think of me as a cruel
or unnatural mother" she said. MY
heart is full of mother love for all my
children. But this poor little one, If
allowed to live. would be for years
only a burden to himself. His life
would be dark, barren, useless. There
could be no happiness to himself or
pleasure or service to others. TT is
just as the doctor says-one of ma
ture's blunders-and I am willing that
nature should correct it's error by my
baby's death"
1t was noted that even although all
those who looked at the dying child
were stirred to deep pity, the face
and the form were so wretchedly queer
that none put out a hand in gentleness
as he lay, sometimes family crying

the child should die. He petted the

Coroner to Take Action
When the word came finally to Mrs
Bollinger that the child was dead, she
wept, but said she had not changed
her mind that death had been for the
best.
The health and legal authorities
now must decide what action will be
taken in the case that has become so
widely known and discussed. Health
Commissioner Robertson said tonight
that his course is plain. 1t will be to
withhold a burial permit and request
the Coroner to hold an inquest.
But the officials themselves feel
sympathy with DIR. Haiselden's views.

ment, said:

To Get Rid of Wrinkles

1t is more important now than dur

TO keep the pores clean. All cosmetics
clog the pores. In cool weather this
interferes greatly with elimination of
waste material. injuring instead of
aiding the complexion. Ordinary mer-
colized wax serves all the purposes of
creams. powders and rouges, giving
Tar better results. It actually peels off
an offensive skin, at the same time un-
clogging the pores. Minute particles of
scarf skin come off day by day, causing
not the least pain or discomfort Grad
