day nights Zeppelin raid on Paris.
Ten of the wounded were so badly
hurt they were taken to hospitals.
The Zeppelin which raided Paris
early Saturday night dropped dozen
great bombs estimated at containing
three and half tons Of explosives. a
heavy fog made the searchIights uSs-
less and prevented the French air
craft seeing the monster, except at
brief intervals. II apparently passed

Silk Hats to Be

Liverpool, Jan. 30-The twenty

favor Of more informal headgear, the

the middle and upper classes and po-

councilman, should a whitscoated mar

a tile at the expense Of the city, ea-

But precedent prevailed. For d

the council did not wish TO abolish

British Official Eyewitness
Tells of What Came
Under Observation.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Headquarters French Armies, West
Front, Jan. 30.-(British Official
Eye Witness. What will the adven-
turOus person who attempts to walk
along the French front trenches find
when he reaches the Swiss frontier,
the extreme point of the French right
wing?
He will find a barb wire fence no
more fornjdable than those which
enclose many English meadows. Aft
er the vast and complicated fields Of
barb wire which protect the trenches,
this fence seems absurdly inadequate
and artificial to be the counterpart
of the North Sea which terminates
the lines at the extreme other end.
There are a few pieces of red and
white canvas tied to the wire to show
that at this point the neutral terri
tory Switzerland begins, and a single
Swiss sentry stands with bayonet be-
hind movable barrier garnished
with barb wire that is set across the
country trade. This placid warlike
scene seems an impossibility tame
conclusion for 500 miles Of compli-
Gated earthworks and Notifications.
One drives to the Swiss frontier
through the ''Trouee de Belfort," the
broad gap between the VosRes and
the Swiss Jura, which offers SO in
viting passage into France to the
invader from the east. One passes it
full speed along roads protected from
Germans by tall screens of brush
wood. The roads are winding and
the Germans have many lookout posts,
consequently the screens are some
times on the left, honetimes ON the
right, and sometimes on both sides,
and one begins to feel that the Ger
mans are everywhere.
BY sentry box there stands a man
whom the French call "the man Of the
extreme right" the sentry who
guards the furthest point of the
French right wing. He is douanier,
a customs house officer. So long as
he stands there on duty with fixed
bayonet he is perfectly safe but ss
soon as he is relieved and goes away
to rest in the neighboring village he
enters the danger zone and may at
any time get in the neighbcrhood Of
a German shell.
The trenches are hidden away in a
wood 500 miles away, and one might
think that the place was quite with
out defense, but nothing has been left
to chance, and the French are ready
for any eventuality. The Swiss sen
try salutes politely as the traveller ap-
proaches the Boundary, and a Swiss
sergeant comes out from the neigh
boring guard house to examine the
papers.
After a little conversation across
the fence that divides Switzerland
from. France, the sergeant proceeds
to the fornality which he calls "open-
ing the frontier" Half the barrier
across the road is moved aside and
replaced by a large wooden table.
From the French side there appear
a number of peasant women with
large baskets; their papers are ex-
a.mined by the "man Of the extreme
right" and they are allowed to pass
up 20 the counter. Then buying and
selling begins across the frontier

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots Of Water and Stop Eating
Meat for a While If the Bladder
Bothers You.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lith1a, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases.-Adv.

Before the Ball.

In her hotel, albeit something of
subject of gossip, as she herself could
not but know, Kitty felt herself at
least safe from any such occurrences
as of late had been her lot. Role~u
still was missing.
1t was the morning of the great
black and white ball when Kitty, her
gown finally in her own possession,
stood before the tall mirror in her
rooms to give it it's final proving.
The case on her dressing table now
held but few simple rings and
brooches, trifling things which had
been given her or which from time
to time she had purchased for her
self
The only thing of value which lay
upon the table was something which
she most wished to conceal, and not
to display. The broken coin-how
could she make sure that it would be
safe?
Kitty swiftly conceived plan which
she fancied would afford greater safe

at hand no machinery of ceremony
