ABANDON DEEP HOLE.
Company Drilled for Oil, but Did Not
Find ANY

Company Drilled Tor OH, but DID Not
Find Any.
HUTCHINSON, Kan, Feb. 2s.-The
deepest hole in Kansas and probably
the deepest anywhere in the United
States has just been drilled in the
northern edge of Clark county, near
Minneola, 125 miles southwest of
Hutchinson.
The hole is 3,S071a feet deep. It
cost close to $4,000, and it is worth
less. The Shortgrass Oil and Gas com
pany was organized by farmers and
landowners of that part of the state,
who suspected there was oil there
Drillers were engaged and they have
been at work for over a year pushing
the drill down through the rock strata.
After drilling for several hundred
feet through Mississippi limestone for
nation, with no prospect of finding
anything, the company decided to stop
further work, with the drill point deep
er down than any has ever gone III
Kansas, drillers say.

to return with the officers to Cohnee-
ticut without requisition papers so no
arrests were made here. He had a
ring in his possession which has not
been identified as of property missing
in Hartford.

HOADLEY VISITS
FLORIDA JUNGLE
Made Drive at Alligator with Spear
Turning it on its Back-Lost Ducks
When Boat Struck Snag.

James A. Hoadley, proprietor of a
Main street restaurant, was treated
like king on his trip to Apopka, Fla,
from which he has just returned. The
Apopka News, owned and edited by
E. C. Harrington, formerly of Brattle-
boro, devoted over a page to Mr.. Hoad-
ley's visit, illustrating the article with
10 halftone pictures of places which
he visited.
Mr.. Hoadley saw C. B. Lamson of
Brattleboro in Orlando, and went from
there to Apopka. Mayor Frank H. Da-
Wis of Apopka took him out in an au-
tomobile, showing him orange groves
and some of the beautiful spots in the
interior of the state.
.sHaving seen the civilization of
Florida the article continues, Jim
was anxious to see a bit of the wild
iungles He especially wanted to see
some alligators, for Arnold Pellet had
told him they were nearly if not quite
extinct in Florida A trip down the
Wekiwa river in motorboat was ar
ranged, and the story says that while
Mr.. Hoadley was waiting at the wharf
- a real live alligator popped his head
up out of the deep recesses of the lake
to take look at the stranger from
up North, while the turtles by the
hundreds and fishes by the thousand:
swan past in one grand review
! The real excitement of the trip i:
told as follows: ''The clear water was
literally swarming with schools of cat
fish, mullet, perch and gars, and ovel
the scene beamed brilliant summer
sun. Before he had gone three mile
a large 10-foot alligator was seen cross
ing the river, and during the day sew
eral others were seen. Jim, who is al
amateur with shotgun, desired to ge
a shot at the game, and while tryin,
to creep up on some ducks the boa
struck a snag, and jolted Jim nearl
off his feet, causing him to grip tn
gun tight, and being cooked, it wen
off-so did the ducks. Thinking h
would have better success spearin
fish, he attempted that, and suddenl
as the boat turned a sharp bend the
ran upon three-foot gator, that wa
too curious TO get out of the way, an
Just as the boat reached it Jim made
mighty drive at it, striking il in tn
back, turning it over like log. Tn
gator then got out of the way, an
thus Jim missed good chance TO ca

DRESS WARM AND

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid of
Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respector Of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous OF human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots Of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly,
cold weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accommodating and cireu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles, caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from ,any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus Kidding the blood OF
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice. combined with lithla and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant, eff
fervescent lithia-water drink which oY-
ercomes uric and is beneficial to your
kidneys as we'll
