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 rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in Z glass 81
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act dne.
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 kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine 30 II

ENGLAND DECIDES
IMPORTANT POINT

When taxicab driver or truck drlv-
er operates wholly within a munici
pality, his taxes therefore should be
assessed and collected by the munic-
ipal authorities; but where such per-
sons operate in and out of the munic-
ipality using the public roads, II is
the duty of the state road commits
sion to assess and collect the spec
ial privilege tax and pro-rate 1t with
the city authorities, in which case
the municipal authorities have no
right to assess or collect the tax. This
is the substance OF an opinion of At
torney General r. T. England, given
on request OF A. d. Williams, chair
man of the road commission, for a
construction of that section of the
law. Martnsburg drivers have been
assessed this tax.

LIEUT.. ROOSEVELT
BRINGS DOWN HUN
ARMAN ON FRONT
Becomes Separated From His
Comrades and Engages En-
emy Plane: Makes Escape
BY Associated Press

With the American Forces on the
Marne, July 11.-Lieutenant Quentin
Roosevelt, the youngest son of ex-
President Roosevelt, brought down
his first German airplane this after
noon in the fight north of Chateau
Thierry.
Lieutenant Roosevelt, with three
other pilots. was flying at. height
of 5000 yards eight miles inside of
the German lines. when the machines
became separated. Soon after. Roose-
velt saw three planes. which he
thought were his companions and
started to join them. He was closely
approaching the machines from the
rear when he saw his mistake, for
the planes were Germans.
Roosevelt Immediately opened fire.
and after fifty shots tracers pene-
trated the fusillage of the nearest
German machine and it went into a
spinning nose dive, falling through
the clouds 1000 yards below
The lieutenant is certain it must
have crashed. for no pilot voluntarily
goes into a 1000 yard spinning nose
dive. The two remaining German air
planes attacked Roosevelt. but he
managed to make good his escape
and returned to the field himself and
his machine unscratched.
American pursuit planes flying I'm
squadron formation penetrated Ger
man territory north of Chateau
Thierry for n distance of fifty miles
to-day and chased several German
machines which they encountered.
The Americans secured considerable
information and observed the prepa-
Iations being made by the enemy.
They flew over many newly con-
structed German flying fields, includ-
ing one believed to be occupied by
the famous Richofen flying circus.
The planes were at a height of 5000
yards, in the course of a great part
of the flight ALL the Americans
landed safely.
