GAsOIINE-WHAT is 1T?

Gasoline is obtained from pc
troleum in much the same way that
whisky is obtained from corn; and,
like whisky, is capable of raising
more hell in a given space of time
than anything Of it's size, weight and
previous condition of servitude with
which we are acquainted.
When petroleum is boiled up II
gives off cymogene, rhigolene and
ether before 1t let's go of the gaso-
line; so it will not do to say that this
pernicious product is not the result
of mature elaboration. 1t is; and
not only that, we believe old "malice
aforethought" turks somewhere in
the background. Without doubt,
selling them gasoline is a sinister
way John D." has Of getting back
at the dear "peepul."
Gasoline is three times heavier
than air, therefore, when the lid is
off this genii has habit of hugging
the ground, and when the unsuspect-
ing victim is lolling in sense Of Sc
curity that would do credit to Will
liam Jennings Ford or Henry Bryan,
it sneaks off in search of light. 1t
has been known to travel 500 feet,
get loaded, and come back to its port
hail in blaze of glory. 1t has yell
low dog baying at the moon beaten
when it comes to dragging things
back home and mussing up the front
yard. This half breed, being heavier
than air, takes a delight in mixing
with it when not engaged in some
other deviltry, and it depends upon
how badly he mixes whether he will
paint the town red or shoot it up.
Under ordinary conditions he will
contaminate the atmosphere on a
two per cent mixture by volume. Let
him go per cent, block his passage,
shoot in a spark and the undertaken
will spend week looking for enough
material to make a decent funeral.

Helpful
Health Hints

1t is better to be up and doing than to be
down and done.
Breathe freely and fully. The more you
expand your chest, the less you will con-
tract cold.
Normal health may be defined as that con-
dition of the body in which the digestive
tract is able to respond to every need arising,
from tissue consumed, thru mental or phys
ical activity.
The superiority of osteopathy in the domain
of rational therapy, during recent years,
points overwhelmingly to the efficacy of
natural methods. And clinical experience
in all parts of the world has been more "a
vorable to osteopathy than any other Their
apeutic agent known.

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In 81 hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in d glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to clean and stimulate clogged kid.

urine so it no longer is a source of irri-

Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no

Severe Fighting Between Rus
slams and TeutonS.
AUSTRIANS ARE DRIVEN BACK
Cars Troops Hold Their Own in
North and Make Gains Over Ad-
versaries in South.

London, June 13-Heavy fighting is
in progress over virtually the entire
eastern front from the Gulf of Riga
to Bukowina, a distance of between
900 and 700 miles.
From Riga to the Pasiolda river,
Germans have taken the offensive
against Russians, probably in an eff
fort to divert the attention of the
Russians who are in the second week
of their drive against the Austro-Hun-
garians and Germans from the Pripet
marshes southwark to Bukowina.
On all sectors of the northern line
the Russians have successfully with
stood German onslaughts They have
even gained ground against attacking
forces north of the Tirul marsh,
southwest of Riga, Petrograd says.
In Southwest Russia, in the region
of Lutsk, fresh advances against Aus
ro-Hungarians are reported by the
Russian war office, as is the case
across the border through East Ga
licia.
Northeast of Verdun, Germans have
thrown successive attacks against
French positions north of Thiaumont
but were repulsed with serious losses
Heavy bombardment by Germans in
this region extended from Thiaumont
eastward, to the west and south of
Fort VauX and to the French second
line positions of Fort Souville and
Fort Tavannes, about three miles
northeast of Verdun.

ABSOLUTE HARMONY
AMONG DEMOCRATS

st. Louis, June 13.-Democracy is
meeting here this week for the first
time in sixteen years with absolute
unanimity of opinion of its ticket, its
platform and it's campaign. Naught
but optimism pervades the city, even
the citizens themselves are optimistic,
since it appears the city's lid is fitting
off just a trifle.
If it were necessary the Democratic
convention could accomplish every bit
of business before it in one three-hour
session. Of course this would involve
considerable curtailment of oratory,
but there would be plenty of time for
any action.
The only reason the cOnclave will
be spread over three days is because
