Brit, Ia.-Brit experienced a new
form of excitement today when it
saw an airplane circle above it, fly

land on the fair grounds.
Small boys were excited, but they
were not the only ones. Sedate BUSH
inessmen left their business to watch
it fly over the town; old men who
had lived in the community In the
days when the prairie was composed
largely of swamps and tall grass and

Says Flu No Worse Than Boil.
Influenza and pneumonia are no
more to be feared than a boil on the
back of the neck, according to DR..
Chas. H. Duncan, one of the founders
of the Volunteer hospitals, who in an
address in New York before the con-
vention of the Allied Medical AS
ISOLATION of America, described his
method of combating the Spanish In
fiuenza by means of minimizing a
patient to his own poison"
Upon 264 patients, ill with in
fiuenza last wister, Doctor Duncan
said he had used the treatment
without a single fatality or any
complications"
Briefly" the physician said, %
take one drachma of mucous from
the infected area and pasteurize il
in one ounce of filtered water where
it remains several hours. One cubic
centimeter of this toxine, injected
simultaneously, will effect a sponta
neous cure of Spanish Influenza
pneumonia, or any similar localized
infection. 1t will stop any cough, ex
cept tuberculosis inside OF twenty
four hours"

falling branch from a tree during the
heavy windstorm of Friday after

his way home when the storm came
up. He was on the road near Culvert,
when the falling limb from a tree
on the roadside crashed down across

probably a half dozen rods, left the
road into a ditch and came up

Plans for a residence costing $685. 900

cost close to 100000 and which is

shotgun at his home on English
Bench.
The body of his wife has never

and deep sorrow and his constant
brooding over the unconsolable fea-
ture of the startling death Of his
loved ones, caused him to take his
own life. OF late he had been seen
wandering up and down the river
banks bowed with grief.
He was found by his father, Geo.
w. Bulman, Wednesday morning in
the child's room upstairs seated on
the bed. Death had been instantan-
eous. Down stairs was found note

the sharp point of file, stating that
che was going to be with Alice and
Mabel" meaning his wife and child.
Coroner Heucker was notified and
upon reaching the home held an in
quest with Ed. Sadler, Leonard Bull
man and Daniel Sires serving as
jurors. The verdict was quickly ar
rived at, that of self-destruction.
Deceased was about 80 years OF
age and was a very estimable young
man whose pitiful ending occasions
expressions of the deepest sympathy
from all sides. He was member OF
the Woodmen order.

New York, April 24-Imagine be-

Such is the experience of John
Armstrong Chaloner, poet and farm
er, who for the last two decades has

During that time he has been le-
gally insane in New York State, but
perfectly normal according to the
rulings of the courts of Virginia, in
which state he took refuge after
spectacular escape from d New York

turn under federal protection to ap-
pear as witness in his 100000 libel

the world has ever known. Rome in
the height of it's splendor could not
compare to this"
Mr.. Chaloner then rode for the first
time in a New York subway, which
he described as "a delightful place"
He compared it to the London tube
and said it was superior in every way.
The reason the subway delighted him
so much, he explained, was because
there was no smoke and plenty OF
good air
Mr.. Chaloner's original name was

dislike for his living relatives.

other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts Of

cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ses, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful In 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
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-

Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
