Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully II

best Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkal This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and ruins IT,
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and Is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly Simply

AUSTRIA GETS TRUCE

ArmIstice Said to Be Preliminary to

Austrian Victory.

Rome, Jan. 15.-By an armistice
agreed upon between Austria and
Montenegro, Austria has gained con-
troll Of the Adriatic sea.
Montenegro also becomes virtually
absorbed by the Teuton invading
forces, as was Serbia, but this is of
minor Importance compared with Aus
trias realizing it's object of making
the Adriatic an Austrian sea. thus
checking Italy's ambition to make 1t
an Italian sea.
Italian authorities declare, however,
that it was Austria which proposed
the cessation Of hostilities, with the
purpose of negotiating separate peace.
The armistice followed the capture
Of Mount Lovcen by the Austrians. By
gaining Mount Lovcen, the Austrians
dominated Cetinje, capital of Montene-

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

Eat Less Meat II 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 a 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 % 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 physi-
cian at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful In glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, CON-
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

ONE KILLED IN CHURCH RIOT.
Troops Attempt to Install Pastor at
Pittston, Pa.

Pittston, Pa, Jan. 1S.-In a pitched
battle on Sunday between 80 state
troopers and mob of 500 Infatuated
men and women in front of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus Polish Roman Catholic
church at Du Pont, near here, one of
the troopers was killed and many Of
the rioters were hurt. Several are
dying in Pittston hospital. Eighty Of
the rioters are lodged in Jail at
Wilkes-Barre. Thirty of this number
only last Friday were held in con-
tempt of court for interfering with
services at the church. At that time
sentence was suspended. Sheriff
George F. Buss with IL troopers, went
to Du Pont to assure protection to
Rev. Francis SowZhoski as pastor of
the church there. The latter had had
trouble with some members of the
congregation. The faction opposed to
the pastor favored the curate, Father
Guzwa, as his successor Bishop
Hoban decreed otherwise and reas-
signed Father Kurkowski.

Won Papen Got Payments From
Ambassador to U. S.
WASHINGTON TIC GET COPIES
Photographs of Correspondence Taken
From German by British Arc
Turned Over for transmits
sion to u. S.

London, Jan. 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.
eminent, made frequent payments to
persons implicated or accused in con-
nection with the blowing up Of NUM-
ton works and the Canadian-Ameri-
can bridge at st. Croix, Me.
Several payments were made to
Capt. Won Papen by Count Won Bern
storff, German ambassador at Wash
tngton. Most of these were for sal
aries or bonuses. A number of entries
showed payments made by the ambas-
sador to the military attache for war
intelligence Office" One of the pay
ments on the account, made In Octo-
Der of 1914, was for $4,000.
Won Papen's check stubs, bank
books and letters from his bank, the
Riggs National bank Of Washington,
show about 500 items, many of which
had to do with routine expenditures.
Others, however. revealed payments
to various persons who have figured
prominently in the activities of Ger
man agents in America, and to at
least one spy who committed suicide
in cell in an English prison.
One entry shows that Captain Won
Papen gave 800 to Werner Horn,
who was convicted of blowing up a
Canadian Pacific railway bridge at
st. Croix, Me-
The day before this check was is
sued the German embassy paid $4,000
into Captain Won Papen's account.
Another check stub shows that
about two weeks before the explosion
in Seattle on May so. 1915, Captain
Won Papen sent $500 to the German
consulate at Seattle.
In January, 1915, Captain Won Papen
gave a check payable to Amsick &
Co, New York, but with the name E.
kuepferle in brackets on the stub.
This is believed to have reference to
the man named Kuepferle who, after
being arrested in England on charge
of espionage, committed suicide, leav-
ing a written confession in his cell.
