Cuban Jute Substitute.

Malva fiber, the new Cuban substi- ute for jute, is product of malva blanca (Urena lobata), large and troublesome weed. The report of Unit ed States Special Agent Garrard liar ris shows that in the experiments of the last two years, the extraction has been brought to a successful conner cial stage; and the fiber, mixed with jute, has been used for the soles of cloth shoes, about twenty tons having been sold last year at six cents a pound. The hope of the process own CTS is to make the material into the 20,000,000 sugar sacks annually need ed in Cuba. It is claimed that a 21a- pound sack of malva fiber can be profitably marketed at ' to 10 cents, while the normal cost of jute sacks Is Is to IS cents each, the wartime price having risen to 25 to 30 cents.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
 KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid Which Clogs the Kidneys and
 lrritates the Bladder

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery In the kidney region, severe head aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store 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 the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der disorders
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious con- plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who be- lieve in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.-Adv.

SHELTER PLANT TO BE BUILT AT FORT SMITH OR VAN BUREN
 BY NEW YORK CONCERN.
FRANCHISE NOW PENDING
Drillers Say Wells Capacity Has h. creased Several Million Feet Since 1t Was Brought In-Clainos Gas
 Is Now Drilling Itself.
Fort Smith

Fort Smith, A contract for 3,OO0000 feet of gas daily was signed by representatives Of the Wildcat Oil and Gas Company and the Clear Creek Oil and Gas Company, both of Fort Smith, and a representa- tive of Vogelstein 6 Co, New York spelter brokers.
 The company will build a three block shelter either in this city or Van Buren. A site offered at Van Buren is preferred by the operators put because neither gas company has I franchise in that city, the smelter may be located in Fort Smith.
 The Wildcat company has an appli- cation for a franchise pending in Van Buren. Immediate action probably would result in that city landing the shelter This is the second smelling plant that has been attracted to this locality within a week through the discovery of the great gas field ad- joining Fort Smith,
 DrilIers say the wells capacity has increased several million feet since it was brought in. They say the gas IS now bringing out rocks which indicate it is drilling itself in. When gauged he well showed more than 21,000,000 cubic feet.

VILLA ESCAPES
 MEXICAN TROOPS
THREE COLUMNS OF AMERICAN
 MILES SOUTH OF BORDER.
AIRSHlPS ARE HAMMERED D
High Winds That Have Been Sweep ing Mexico Has Prevented Their Use as Scouts-Two Machines
 Out of Commission.

San Antonio, TeXas.-Francisco Vil- la has escaped from the Mexican troops that had checked him near Namiquipa, and three columns of American cavalry are pursuing him. Already they are almost 250 miles south of the border, and unless Mexi- can forces bring the elusive bandit to another stand this distance will be greatly increased by the close of the week.
 Villas success in extricating him. self from the dangerous position into which he had been driven by the American punitive force was related in a detailed report of Gen. Pershing that reached Gen. Funston. Gen. Funston forwarded the report to Washington without making public any but the essential features.
 Col. Dodd is commanding the ad- vanced columns that are riding hard after Villa and his men, and Gen. Pershing has divided his forces so as to provide supporting columns along
  nications from his most advanced base at Fl Valle. From El Valle an other line is being maintained back to Casas Grandes, from where com munication with the border is main tained. Gen. Pershing himself Is somewhere south of Casas Grandes di- recting the work of holding together his forces and directing as far as pos sible the operations of Col. Dodd. Ca valry is being used along the lines communicating with Fl Valle, where a detachment of infantry is sta toned.
 Three aeroplanes are at Fl Valle and will be used in scouting as soon as the high winds that have been sweeping that part of Mexico for al most a week subside, and which, ac- cording to Gen. Pershing, have made effective assistance by them imposs1, ble Of the eight machines that went into Mexico, two are still out of com mission. They were damaged in the flights from Columbus to Casas Grandes.

Lincoln to Leave Soon.

Washington.-Department of Jus tice officials have about decided that Ignatius T. T. Lincoln, the confessed German spy locked up in New York pending extradition to England, on the charge of forgery, possesse little information of use in prosecuting neu- trality cases. His deportation proba bly will not be long delayed. Lincoln who escaped from a deputy marsha soon after this first arrest, sent word to the department he intended tc break jail. He declares the charge oi forgery against him is merely SUD terfuge of the British government tc secure his return to England that lre may be executed as a spy.
