BABY HANDS STAY
ARM OF The LAW
Father Is Saved From Prison
Term by PrattIe Of
Child.
CROWD WINS PAROLE
Intereedes With Judge in Behalf Of
Prisoner = Somebody Passes the
Hat and His Honor Scowls
and Then Contributes.

Kansas City, Mo.-A pair Of baby
hands reached out and stayed the arm
of the law Just before it thrust Ar
thur Beeson into the p~enitentiary for
three years. The hands belonged to
Baby Beeson, aged eighteen months,
who sat upon his mothers lap during
the trial of his father.
Beeson, who is an expert handler of
horses, took a horse from the pasture
of Herman Vogel, near Independence.
He sold the animal and went to Des
Moines, where he worked steadily I'M
til his arrest. Beeson attracted little
attention in the courtroom. But every
one not otherwise engaged was look
ing at or playing with Baby Beeson.
Three years." said Judge Latshaw.
The prisoner hung his head and fol-
lowed the officer in charge.
Went on PrattIing.
Baby Blossoms mother blanched. Ba-
by Beeson reached out his hands to a
new-found friend and went on pratt
Ting. That was too much for the at
taches of the court. They had seen
many men stink into the behind
the jury box and pass down the long
corridor and stairway of the jail-the
way that leads finally to the peniten-
tiary.
A newspaper man went down to the
Jail to talk to the prisoner. Then he
came back and talked to the crowd in
the courtroom, which awaited the call
ing of the next trial. A dozen men
went to talk to Judge Latshaw. Some
body else passed the hat.
The Judge said something about the
general "~orneryness" of horse steal
ing.
Outside the judges chambers the
dimes and quarters and half dollars
and dollars were clinking as they
dropped into the hat. Up in the front
of the courtroom Baby Beeson was
holding a levee and Mother Beesor

NEWEST IN CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, head Of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments for sew
eral years proved that there is no
other eliminator OF uric acid compa-
rable. For those easily recognized
symptoms of inflammation-as back
ache, scalding urine and frequent urt-
nation, as well as sediment in the
urine, or II uric acid in the blood has
caused rheumatism, "Anuric' acts
quickly. In rheumatism Of the joints,
in gravel and govt, invariably the
pains and stiffness which so frequently
and p~ersistently accompany the dis
ease rapidly disappear.

Food Minimum.

The irreducible minimum for living
expenses seems to have been attained
by Roger Crab, the hermit, who lived
at Icckenham, near Uxbridge. About
1641 he began to restrict himself to a
vegetarian diet, avoiding even butter
and cheese. From roots he got a diet
consisting chiefly of broth made from
turnip leaves and thickened with bran,
and he finally resorted to dock leaves
and grass, with a bran pudding as an
occasional delicacy. He drank moth
ing but water, and lived on three far
things a week until he died in 1880, at
the age Of sixty.-London Chronicle.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating Acids-Splendld
for the System.

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,
RRsiere it often remains to irritate and
inlfame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck Of the bladder, obliging
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
1t. because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
y of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
.take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
kater before breakfast, continue this
Z two or three days. This will neu.
ize the acids in the urine SO it no
ger is a source of irritation to the
Rder and urinary organs which then
formally again.
Salts is inexpensive, harmless
s made from the acid Of grapes
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts Il
splendid for kidneys and causes nc
bad effects whatever
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.--Adv.

RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR.

To half pint of water add i OF. Bay Rum, q

until it becomes the desired shade. Any drug
glst can put this up or you can mix it at
home at very little cost. 1t will gradually
darken streaked, faded gray hair, and re-
moves dandruff. It is excellent for falling

It will not color the scalp, is not sticky or
greasy, and does not rub off.-Adv.
