LITTLE BOY BURNS TO
DEATH At GAINESVILLE

j. ], Hogg is in receipt Of letter
from his neice, Mrs. Homer LangfOr0,
at Dranesville, conveying the shock
ing intelligence of the burning to death
Of her little three-year-old son, on
Wednesday of this week. 1t seems the
little fellow was playing in the barn
aid is presumed to have had matches
which were either struck by him or
became ignited in some way, setting
fire to the barn. When discovered the
flames had gained such Roadway as to
make it utterly impossible to save the
barn or rescue the little fellow. The
father of the child was away from
home at the time. The mother was at
home, however, and was perfectly
rantic when made aware that her child
was burning to death and could not be
rescued. She was so overcome that
she tainted away and grave apprehen-
sion was felt for her during some
time
When the flames had subsidized and
search could be made of the debris, all
that could be found of the child's re
rains was part of the head, the heart
and one arm. These, of course, were
buried Immediately
The whole community was shocked
at the appalling occurrence and deep
est sympathy goes out to the be-
reaved father and mother.

companies to increase freight rates.
The increase affects the three great
japanese shipping concerns which
run a service to the United States and
Canada. The increase of rates to
America is from Is to 20 per cent
when the goods are consigned to ports
and 20 per cent when destined for in
terror points.
The principal item of the goods ex-
ported to America to be affected by
the increase comprise rice, tea, fancy
mating, raw silk, silk fabrics, cotton
manufactures, soy, bamboo and BAN
boo works, porcelain and earthen-
ware, straw braid, provisions, corn,
peanuts and camphor.
The freightage on the goods i'm
ported to Japan from America has
been raised by about % per cent on
the whole, with few exceptions. The
goods affected are cotton raw and
ginned), machinery, iron and steel
plates, sailed fish, pulp, wheat and
wheat flour, zinc plates, iron nails,
glass, condensed milk, malts and 9TH
er commodities.
The communication department is
consulting with the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha with a view to increasing the
carrying capacity on the Antwerp and
American lines, and it is not unlikely
that the company will run extra

by putting on chartered vessels on the

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backaehe is a Sign You Have
Been Eating too Much Meat,
Which Forms Uric Acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
IL 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 efforts
to filter it from the blood and they
become 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 of sediment, channels Of
ten get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two CT .hree
times during the night
Either consult a good. reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a 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,
combined 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 irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can
not injure and make delightful ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink.

 FL PASO. May Achievement of the Sixth Cavalry from Columbus, N. M, to the Big Bend district where their announced objective is reinforcement of the border patrol, was begun to- night.
 The censorship was clapped tightly down at Columbus. The first train out of Columbus left for the east about nightfall The entire detachment should detrain at Marathon, Texas, by Monday morning. From there it faces a ninety five mile ride to Boquillas, its point of distribution.
 The fresh activity of the Columbus censor was not clearly understood here. Military observers conjectured that it might have connection with further movements northward of units of Gen eral Pershing's eXpeditionary force This belief was strengthened by the announcement of General Gavira, the CarranZa commander in JuareZ. that he had been informed large bodies of American troops were marching north ward past Casas Grandes.
 | For the last day or two it has been rumored here that the Tenth Cavalry i was to be withdrawn from Mexican l soil and it was believed possible that 1 this regiment constituted the troops referred to in General Gavira's re

ports, although no confirmation was forthcoming.
 Army men profess to see in the new movements an intent more far reaching than the mere strengthening of the border patrol. It is pointed out that although troops now scattered south of Columbus to Colonia Dublan and Nam iquipa are needed to insure the safety of General Pershing's command, which has been greatly consolidated and which has established itself in strong positions.
 With General Jacinto Trevino nov ing large forces of troops into Northern Chihuahua and Coahuila, it is said, the natural sequence would be the strengthening of the American forces in the district to the north.
 It is pointed out, however, that no l particular significance is to be at | tached to this strategy. ] Marion Letcher, American consul at i Chihuahua City, who came to the bor- der several days ago under orders from 1 the state department, left for Wash l ingtOn this afternoon to report to the government on conditions in his con- | Sular district
