Chicago.-The consolidation of the
Herald and Examiner leaves Chi
cago, a city with a population of
2,500,000 with only two morning
newspapers in the English language,
the Tribune and the new Herald and
Examiner.
Negotiations have been under way
for about three months There are
intimations that the transfer was
talked of as long ago as last July. and
that a deal was nearly closed at
that time. The most persistent ru-
NOR was that the Curtis Publishing
Company of Philadelphia had an op-
ton on the Herald
Three months or so ago Alexander
P. Moore, owner of the Pittsburgh
Leader, negotiated for the HeraId's
purchase. but without result. About
a week ago the rumors that Hearst
was dickering for the Herald be-
came acute, and finally resulted in
the announcemen of the closing of
the transaction. Mr.. Hearst arriv-
GU III SHlCdBO On IueSuay ana the
negotiations were speedily conclud-
ed under his direct supervision.
The merged paper will be printed
in the Hearst Building, where the
Examiner is now located, and the
Herald plant will probably be sold.
Mr.. Bisbane, it is learned, will
divide his time between Washington
and Chicago. He refused to give up
supervision of his Washington Times.
Herald's Interesting History
The Chicago Herald was the out
growth of four Chicago newspapers,
each of which was an important fac
tor in the life of Chicago in it's day.
In the order of their establishm ont,
the four papers were the Times the
Inter-Ocean, the Herald and The
Record.
The Herald of latter day was
built directly on the old Record
Herald and Inter-Ocean, which were
acquired and combined by James
Kelley and his associates in May,
1914.

GUT OUT MEATS
IF KIDNEYS ARE
TROUBLING YOU
Uric Acid in meat excites Kid
neys and Irritates the
Bladder.
Noted Authority says we must
flush Kidneys with Salts
if Back hurts.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority. who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating acid,
but become weak from the over
work; they get sluggish: the elimina-
tive tissues clog and thus the waste
is retained in the blood to poison
the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have
stinging pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full OF sediment. or
the bladder is irritable. obliging YOU
to seek relief during the night; when
YOU have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness. acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
in a few days 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 ana
stimulate clogged kidneys. to neu-
traliZe the acids in urine so n is
no longer a source of irritation. thus
ending urinary and bladder disor-
ders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not in1ure; makes a delightful ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink. and
nobody can make a mistake by tax
ing a little occasionally to keen the
kidneys clean and active.

Toc-Toc-Toc Is New
Sound in Paris Streets;
Soldiers Wooden Leg

Paris. May 6.-Toc-toc-toc.
The one new sound in the streets
of Paris.
One hears it everywhere-toe-to
--toc--the dull unmistaka6le sound of
the soldiers wooden leg, the plodding
on march of thousands who have
dropped. still living, through the red
fingers of war.
Hundreds of them come into Paris
from the great base hospitals, seeking
in some new work the livelihood they
must make.
In the American Rc>& Cross head
quarters in Paris there is bureau of
the military affairs department which
devotes itself entirely to the equip
ment of the mutiles with American
artificial legs and arms. And there
is not a day in the week that this
bureau is not busy over the task of
literally putting these unfortunates
on their feet again.
AS soon as the bureau is opened at
9 o'clock in the morning the uniform
ed mutiles begin coming-toc-toc-
toc-through the echoing archway of
the headquarters entrance and across
the cobbled court to the bureau door.
They are not a talkative lot, these
mutiles, as they sit in the reception
room awaiting their turn to enter
the bureau Most of them are young
men, infantrymen, who have been
wounded either in the trenches or in
the cheering scramble "over the top"
in an assault.
Here is one of them. Emile E..

each were traced in minutest detail,
for in its embryonic days the Times
was known first as the Courant and
for a brief period as Young Ameri
ca; the Herald builded upon the
foundation erected by the Tela-
graph; the nter-Ocean had been
the Republican and the Record first
called the Morning News. Follow
ing that course might lead to confu-

per called the Herald had been alb
sorbed by the old Times in ante-bel-

Men whose names were household
words in all quarters of the nation
helped to weave the fabric from
which the Herald of today is made.

Recital of the history of the Chi

of the Civil war. 1t was started
August 80, 1854, as a Democratic
paper by Isaac Cook, Jas. w. Shee-

political separation of President
Buchanan and Senator Douglas the
Times supported Douglas.

called it the Herald. The following
year it was bought by Cyrus H. Nc
Cormick, who in 1860 bought the
Times and consolidated the two. e.
w. McComas, a journalist from Vir-
ginia, was placed in charge and the
paper became an exponent of the
Southern Democracy. Daniel Cam
eron continued as publisher until
June 8, 1851, when Wilbur f. Storey
became editor and proprietor. He
caused the word Daily" to be drop
ped from the title and it was simply
Chicago Times from 1851 to March
4, 1895.
On June 8, 1863, soldiers marched
into the pressroom and took posses
sion under orders from General Am
brose E. Burnside for suppression of
the paper. 1t had bitterly attacked
Lincoln's administration and by
many was called q radical copper
head sheet.
The movement TO suppress it pro-
Voked mass meetings in behalf Of
free press and prominent Repub-
licans Joined in signing petitions to
President Lincoln, who revoked the
order and publication was resumed
on June 5.
After the Presidential campaign
of 1868 the Times was professedly
an independent paper. Mr.. Storey
became sole owner in 1870 and made
A. L. Patterson manager.
When Mr.. Storey died in 1884 the
paper went into the hands of re-
ceiver and was sold in 1887 to a
company headed by James ]. West.
He was succeeded by Huiskamp

she said to the broker: 'I am los
ing now. What will my husband
say? 1 can't sleep nights"
She testified that the broker
answered it took money to make
money and urged her to put up
more.
IF you give me $1,000, 1 will
make $1,000 for you in week." she
quoted him.
He said he took great interest
in me because of the coincidence of
names and he said, Leave it to me,
dearie, I'll see that you don't lose'"
She asserted that one day. at his
offices. she became hysterical about
her losses. II told him l was about
wiped out and was completely pros
trated.' The broker gave her back
$1,500.
Her husband testified That it was
not until 1915, when she confessed,
that he learned his wife had been
specializing with money he had given
her for household expenses.
The defendant took the stand and
denied he had flirted with Mrs. Ball
IN the subway. He said she called
him on the telephone and said she
had seen his advertisement and
wished to do business with him be-
cause the similarity of names pro-
vided 'hunch."
The broker denied that he had
wlnked at her. He said she never
told him the money was bar bus
bands. On the contrary, he testi
ned, she said she had money in the
bank to do with as she pleased.
one day she came to my office
and said she had to have $500 or
her husband would kick her out on
the street" testified the broker. "I
told her she was species of black
mailer after she threatened to yell
from the street corners about our
relations and tell my wife. [ finally
gave her the $500 on advice of
counsel and because l did not want
my wife to know of our relations"

Treason is not confined to overt act. One
need not actually help the enemy to commit treas

times the safe path is not only TO avoid treason

the same to the proper authorities. To neglect
