That night, at billiards with his chief Of staf,

Like some forgotten sin to one unolean,
And on its face furtive look he cast
The magnats's throat grew dry with sudden thirst
He saw his system, rotten to the core,
Exposed before the vicious lust Of war.
And futile fury swept him and he cursed

Three young boys who had been do
ing something in the way of junk busi-
ness and securing the material without
the formality of paying for it. were
rounded up Friday morning and given
an audience with Judge Lancaster of
the municipal court. The boys were
not arrested and not arraigned before
the court but the three received a les
son from the judge that they probably
will not soon forget. The youngsters
were taken into the judges office and
the matter thoroughly gone over. The
material taken consisted of the fittings
of a motor boat which was moored near
one Of the wharves along the water
front and according to the statement
of the boys there was not much left to
take after the boys had finished their
work. The loot taken included a car
bureter, oil cups and other fittings from
the motor boat of Hansey Hanson, and
had been sold to local junk dealer, the
entire lot bringing less than half dol
lar. A peculiar fact connected with the
robbery was that the boys had not been
absent from school and that according
to the cards RECEIVED by them at school
their rank and conduct was perfect
It was not the disposition of the
court to punish the boys severely, it
being their first offense and after Civ
ing them some good advice the court
allowed them to go during good be-
tavior, they being ordered however to
report to the city marshal at stated
periods until further notice.

SALTS FOR kidneys
a Glass Of Salts Before
Breakfast If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trou-
Bile. because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four ounc-
es of Jad Salts, take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
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 flush and
stimulate clogged kidneds; to neutral
ize the acids in the urine so it no long
er is a source of irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody ear make
a ld;stake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.

phone Workers Want 81 a

San Francisco, Oct. 12.-Unless the

pany agrees to increase their wages
II dollar a day, 5000 linemen, plant
operators, installers, repair men and
electrical workers, will walk ont Mon
dav. according to an ultimatum they
have delivered to the company.
D. P. Fullerton, general manager of
the company, declared today that the
employees had made such a demand,
but said negotiations are st;ll in pro
gress.
The action of the employees follow
ed a referendum taken in all cities on
the Pacific coast, which is said to hav
shown a strong majority in favor of a
strike. Despite the vote, Mr.. Fullerton
believes a walkout will be averted.
Because the effect such a strike
would have on the telephone service
on the coast, efforts are being made ia
avert it L. G. Braisser, president of
the international Brotherhood OF Flee
trical Workers, is handling the situa-
