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

the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.

take a tablespoonful in 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 generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO 1t no

ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Iithia-water drink which everyone

zEPPEL|NS' BOMBS
KILL 81 IN PARIS
Second Air Raid on French
Capital.
INVADERS ARE DRIVEN OFF
French Aeroplanes Attack German
Airiships-PeopIe Refuse to Heed
Warning to Remain Indoors
During Attack.

London, Feb. 1.-The war Office Off
was made last night by six or seven
airships over the eastern and north
eastern midland counties. A number
of bombs were dropped. Up to the
present, says the war office statement,
inconsiderable damage has been re-
ported.
Paris, Feb. 1.-Thirty-four persons
were killed anC twenty-seven injured
in the Zeppelin raid over Paris Satur-
day night, according to an official
statement given out here.
Ten of the wounded were placed in
hospitals owing to the severity of
their injuries.
The raid lasted about one minute
and a half, while in the first visit OF
Zeppelins to Paris on March 81, 1915,
four of these aircraft were over or in
the neighborhood of the capital for
nearly two hours.
The fact that only one German ma
chine appeared leads to the belief that
the Zeppelin was making a recon
noitering trip, and the supposition is
that the Germans have in view SIM
liar operation on a larger scale.
The Paris newspapers demand that
measures of retaliation be taken imi-
mediately.
Before the attack 80 French aero
planes searched the remote air regions
above Paris for the raider of whose
appearance warning had been given.
By the time it had reached the edge of
one of the old quarters of the city sew
eral of the airmen were able to make
out it's pale yellow shape $4,000 feet
from the earth.
One of the French aircraft fired %
shots from a quick frer at the invad-
ing craft.
Frightened doubtless by the nu-
merous war planes rising toward it,
the Zeppelin wheeled and drove at
full speed westward, dropping in its
train into the darkness a cargo Of
about three and one-half tons Of
bombs Then, continuing it's flight at
a great altitude, the airship vanished.

SYRUP Of figs FOR
A CH|LO'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic INFO a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is wellfound-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

u. S. MAY DISARM LINERS.
Washington Asks Powers to Agree on
Rules for Submarine Warfare.


Rules for Submarine Warfare.
Washington, Jan. 31.-A suggestion
that all the belligerent countries sub
scribe to declaration of principles
governing attacks on merchant YES
sells and forbidding the arming Of
such vessels has been made by the
United States in an effort to estab-
lish in international law general
policy disposing of many of the vexa-
tious problems arising from the de-
velopment of submarine warfare.
Identical notes have gone forward
asking the iarious countries at war
to say specifically whether they are
willing to join in such an agreement.
The declaration of principles would
provide:
That noncombatants may expect
protection under the rules of in
ternational law and the principles of
humanity when travelling on merchant
ships.
That warning must be given before
a merchantmen is attacked.
That belligerent-owned merchant
ships must obey warnings to stop.
That merchantmen shall not be
sunk except where it is impossible
to supply a prize crew, or until pas
sengers and crew are placed in safety.
The note voices warning that this
government is considering adoption of
a policy under which all armed mer-
chantmen that enter ports Of the
United States in future shall be con-
sidered war vessels, subject to the
established regulations governing in
ternment.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and

Drink a glass OF real hot water

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work

glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split

tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the s1uices Of the. system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag.
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing. sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspOonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C.
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitatiOn.-Adv.

stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

UNITED STATES WARNS
BRITAIN ON MAIL SEIZURE
Secretary Lansing Cites iii Feeling
Caused by Action-Text of Note

the American protest to Great Brit
ain against interference with neutral
mails, made public on Thursday, re-
veals that diplomatic and consular
pouches nave been treated in a man.
ner the United States considers 'vexa-
tiously inquisitorial." The note de-
scribes the practices of British Off
Gals as "unwarranted interferences,"
and urgently requesting prompt re-
ply, points out that a strong feeling
is being aroused in this country by
the loss of valuable letters, while for
eign banks are refusing to cash Amer
lean drafts because they have no as
surances that drafts are secure in the
mails
The United States declares that par
eel post articles are entitled to the
exemptions of neutral trade, and de-
MES the right of Great Britain to take
neutral mail ships into British juris-
diction for purposes of search and
then submit them to local censorship
regulations. 1t also denies that the
British government has any authority
over neutral sealed mails on ships
which merely touch at British ports.
With the text of the American note
was made public Great Britains ad
interim reply, saying that questions Of
principle raised by the United States
have made it necessary for Great
Britain to consult her allies before an
swering finally, and indicating that
there will be no unnecessary delay in
the negotiations.
