I was battered against pieces of flying timbers, sucked for ward by a terrible blast of air which took away my breath and left me almost unconscious. It seemed as if was being drawn into a mighty whirlpool. Dark objects whirled around me. Some of them were my pupils. my poor little children.
 After a time I found myself ly- ing on hillside, many children stretched near me. some of them mo- tlonless. some of them moaning in pain. Their clothes were covered with blood. Through the clouds the sun was breaking and rain was falling gently

President Wilson had authorized him to say that the American government had no ether note in Contemplation and that such in- formation was being sent To all diplomatic representatives abroad.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Back
Hurts or Bladder
BOthers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid, which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliigvng
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,

ALL READY To OPEN
THE BIG ORANGE SHOW

San Bernardino, Feb. 16.-The great
annual event of California's citrus
fruit growers-the National Orange
Show-will open at San ,Bernardino
on February 20 for it's eight gorge
Gus days and nights of splendor.
Hundreds of workmen are rushing
the completion of the exposition, to
build which about 100000 oranges
are being used.
1t is estimated that 100000 to 1885,
600 people, if weather conditions are
favorable, will visit the Orange Show
Last year the 100000 mark was
reached.
Even Californians who have never
seen an Orange Show have no con-
oeption of the beauty and grandeur
of the exposition that is moulded into
art by the golden orange.
Railroads have granted fare and
a third rates for the round trip to
the Orange Show from all points in
California, Arizona and Nevada. The
Auto Club of Southern California is
rosting the concrete and macadam
roads that lead to San Bernardino
from every portion of the state, for
the guidance of thousands of motor
parties who will visit the exposition.
Southern California's leading bands
and high class vaudeville will form
entertainment features. A midway,
some of the shows of which were
brought from the East, will be in
operation.
Hazelle Hess Mutt, most beautiful
daughter of Northern California's gar
den orchards, will rule, with a court,

WINNINGS OF ELGIN SIX
ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-THE Elgin
Motor Car, manuf lctured in Chicago,
has proved it's ability to win every
contest it has entered. To finish a
winner, and with perfect score, such
gruelling strengthening endurance
contests, as Elgin Six has won, makes
its popularity entirely accountable.
In many of the contests entered by
Elgin Six, it was the only car selling
under four figures. Most of the cars
represented selling prices ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000, but in every
contest Elgin won out by large mar
gin-not only won, but won with per-
feet scores as regards mechanical eff
ficiency, economy of operation, and
durability. Amony the most outstand-
ing Of these big events are "The Chi
cago Master Driver Contest" "The
West Michigan Pike Tour" "The Min
neapolis, Mimi, Fargo, N. D. Endur-
ance Race" "The record-breaking run
from Chicago to Miami, Fla. and re-
turn" and "The Annual Chicago Mo-
tor Club run from Chicago to Bass
Lake, Ind. and return" On this lat
ter run all three of the Elgin entries
broke all economy records by travel
ing the entire 21O miles with an aver
age Of 25.6 miles to 4he gallon of gas
cline.
1t would be impossible to map out
any run that could better demonstrate
the genuine stamina and unfaltering
power of a car than the roads covered
in the above named contests. The
trails and the seldom-traveied roads
iourneyed in these contests presented
difficulties of the severest natures
steep, rocky roads that were mere
trails-roads Of gumbo mud-hub-deep
rut, creek beds, roads of slippery red
clay and treacherous swamps. And
yet--in spite of these fearful condi-
tions and tremendous odds, Elgin's
total average of gas and oil consum-
tion for these thousands upon thous-
ands of miles, figures 10 miles to the
gallon of gasoline and 1870 miles to
the pint Of oil.

"Oh, isn't she the jade!"

To me green always has a tang of
youth and sea water and salad with

side. It is always cool and refresh

Surely the ideal color scheme for

Just because we are to have green
clothes doesn't mean that we must

Green straw hats are adorable, es-
pecially when topping Titan dresses,

get the Titan tresses as it is to get
the green straw hats. There are plain

for a self toned ribbon band and a

New York, Feb. 16.-Scientists
avow that white is not color, and
vet it is from the White House that
most of our best little season color
schemes have emanated.
We have had Alice Blue Though ]
hope she isn't new and Helen Pink
and then Gait green, and now this
season we are to stick to the same
primary hue as the last named color
favorite, but be given new shade.
And since there is no feminine ap-
pellation to colorfully call it we are
to be tinted this springtime deli
cate Shadowlawn green.
So it seems some of the presiden-
tial notes are color notes after all.
Most everyone will be glad to well
come green back and as coming events
always cast their Shadowlawns be-
fore, so the smart shop windows are
beginning to put forth green and
flourishing frills and burbelows.
Tt is such a comfort now to know
isn't it, that when you turn green
with envy you will be right in the
very latest style for all of us are Sc
prone to do so.
Next to Shadowlawn green for pop
ularity will be the ever-verdant en-
erald hue and all the French models
are Paris green of course. Then
there is lovely jade green that will
appeal to the most jaded of sartorial
appetites, though when you are all
dolled up in this exquisite shade you
