Twenty Thousand Persons Homeless
-conflagration Is Worst in His

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
hristiania.-Twenty thousand per-
sons are homeless as the result of
fire which destroyed One-third of the
city of Bergen, causing property dam
age estimated at not less than $40,-
100000. Two persons were killed The
fire which originated in the business
district, gained rapid headway. The
flames were famed by a hurricane.
and soon all the largest business build
ings, hotels and newspaper Offices, as
well as the telephone and telegraph
stations, were destroyed. Efforts of
the firemen and police to control the
confagration as the flames swept into
the residential district proved to be
futile, and dynamite was used to blow
up the buildings in the path of the fire.
Bergen has population of 10000.
The confagration is said to be the
worst ever recorded in Norway.
Difficulties of the 10000 persons
now without homes were increased by
the fact that the largest storage
houses, filled with provisions for sup
plying the surrounding country, were
burned. The battleship Eidsvold has
gone to Bergen with provisions and
clothing and corps of engineers to
build sheds for the homeless people.
The King and the War Minister also
have gone to the scene.

Look, Mother! II tongue is
coated, give "CaIifornia

Children love this fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful Of California
Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out Of the sys-
tenn, and you have we'll child again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and 1t nev"
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
end bowels.
Ask at the store for 5O-cent bottle
Of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluIees of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those Of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, lame back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as a daisy always
by washing the poisons and toxins
from the body with phosphated hot
water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate "A
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and it
is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate will cost very little at
your druggist or from the store, but
is sufficient to make anyone who is
bothered with biliousness, constipa-
lion, stomach trouble or rheumatism
a real enthusiast on the subject Of in
ternal sanitation. Try it and you are
assured that you will look better and
feel better in every way shortly

London, Jan 17.-Photographic
copies of correspondence check books
and accounts seized from Capt. Franz
Won Papen when his ship was stopped
at Falmouth are on their way to the
American state department from Am
bassador Page.
The papers show that the German
military attache, who was recalled
at the request of the Washington gov

payments on this account, made IN
October of 1914, was for $4,000.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or II Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable pkysi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
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 has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer.
