special train backed into a crowd Of
1900 persons at the railway station
here and knocked down half a dozen
children. several Of whom fell under
the train and between the rails. They

time, just about to shake the hands Of
a baby held up to him by It's mother.
The smile on the presidents face
quickly gave way to a look of alarm.

II Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with q
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 a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance Of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for a 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 generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became Of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

a fire declared unoficiany TO have been
caused by the explosion of a gas bomb

guests of the wife of Speaker Sevigny,
were overcome by smoke and persisted.
Several policemen and fremen were
buried under debris when one end OF
the building collapsed. Frederick F.

1t S feared they have lost Their lives.
1t has been established that the first
burst OF flame in the reading room of
the House of Commons was preceded
by at least n explosion, and probably
by two. The force Of the conclusion
was so severe that persons standing
some distance away were hurled to the
floor. A rigid investigation to deter

been undertaken by the Dominion gov
eminent.
The flames spread with such amaz-
ing rapidity that the Ottawa fire brig
ade was utterly helpless to cope with
them. Aid wa sent from Montreal
on a special train.
The loss cannot be estimated in
money. The building was valued at
about S 5000, 900. But the contents
are Of inestimable value. There was
no insurance.
Members Of the Parliament, specta-
tors in the gallery of the lower house,
government employees and others who
were in the building, narrowly escaped

after the fire began corridors were fill.

were many doors to the great building,
but since the outbreak of the war all
except the main portals have been

MISUNDERSTANDING thousand

ence r. Edwards. commanding the
canal garrison, told the senate mill.

ions on national defense.
Fixed Notifications, no matter how
strong, cannot guard the zone, Gen.
Edwards said, and without a mobile
army to back them up, the guns al
ready there are a source OF weakness,
not strength. He declared the Jungle
in parts OF the zone would be mora
Of a protection than a hindrance to an
approaching enemy.
"But this is far from ALL" he added.
AT a distance of from Il to 20 miles
from the axis Of the canal on the Pa
cific side the country is not only free
from Jungle and the ordinary tropical
growthS, but 1t is as open as are parts
Of New Mexico and Lower California.
There an enemy is offered every ia.

reaching by easy marches the vitals

Here l am" she unused, ordered

about that woman's mouth that she
got from crying every so often be-

She pulled wad of paper out of
her muff, fshed a lead pencil from
the pocket Of her sweater where she
had put it in an idle moment, and
wrote down the names of the man

with him he puts his head on her
shoulder and cries and she tells him

and a policeman interested in the
case.

eyes that look of child asking you
to be good to it, and he'll make the
man show that he puts his head on
her shoulder when he's in tough luck.
If could sketch know how 1 would
do it" she thought.
She bit the end of her pencil and
jotted down:
"She was a rosy-cheeked little
thing, slender, it is true, but her face
had healthy flush that comes from

softened the flame of it, and her blue

SENSIBLE FARMING.

Sensible farming includes the same
principles as sensible business, A
good merchant once said that goods
we'll bought are half sold.' That
means that it is the best Of business
for the merchant to buy dependable
goods as cheap as possible. The next
step is to keep down the running ex'
penses. The same principles apply on
the farm. 1t is good business for the
farmer to make the most dependable
crop as cheap as he can, and to keep
down expenses. That crop may be
corn, apples, peaches, canteloupes,
sweet potatoes, strawberries or water
melons. At all events it pays to begin
now and prepare the land by break
ing deep and plowing under what is in
! the land, and getting in shape to put
on all the manure he can in the spring.
Whatever the money crop may be, let
it be remembered that the main items
/ of expense on the farm are living eX-
penses for the family, the hired hands
and the live stock. A merchant is a
poor business man if he let's his ex-
pcnse5 exceed his profits, and farm
er is a poor farmer if he allows his
expenses for food and feed TO exceed
the cost of production. Here are a
few prices of things that are both pro
duced and consumed on the farm:
