Humorous 9epartment

The Price Fiend.-Once there was
a concern which manufactured what
they were pleased to call silver
spoons. There was a dealer who
bought largely from them. but was al
ways clamoring for lower price.
"But 1 can't lower the price" the
manufacturer would say, unless put
ir more lead"
"Oh, well. more lead by all means"
the dealer would say.
Some time later the dealer wired that
he would take an enormous consign-
mert If the price were cut another ten
per cent.
Can't cut price another penny" the
manufacturer wired back.
Put in more lead" wired the deal
er.
Impossible" was the reply, last lot
shipped you were all lead."-Ammuni-

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL
Il Will Be Bored Sooner or Later and
Connect France and England.

Already plans are being prepared fol
the carrying out Of one of the creates,
engineering enterprises ever undertak'
en- by man-the boring Of tunnel tc
connect France with England-and II
will doubtless be begun as soon as the
mess of war has been cleaned up.
The digging Of such tunnel be-
meath the British channel, making di-
rect undersea communication betwe en-
Dover and Calais, has been advocated
for a century. Beginnings Of 1t were
actually made few years ago at both
ends. But the project was defeated by
the fear of conservative Britishers lest
the hole under the strait be used by
the French. in case of war, for an in
vasion of England.
OF course, this was foolish idea;
for nothing could be easier in an emer-
gency than to block the tunnel, or even
to blow up a section Of it, rendering II
impossible.
The great war, however, has taught
a lesson. If the tunnel had existed
troops and supplies could have beer
sent through it from England to
France in an endless stream, safe from
submarines or other enemy attack
while releasing much-needed ships fol
other purposes Wounded and sick
soldiers would have been carried back
by the same route without peril from
the murderous Hun.
Incidentally-and by no means OF
least importance-England would have
been wholly safe from the starvation
which the Huns hoped to infiict upon
her by the operations of their SUBJ
marines.
The mistake is not to be perpetual
ed. The tunnel is to be dug, and ir
accordance with plans long ago ade
quately developed-though, presuma'
bly,, with some notifications.
II the floor of the channel were o.
soft material-say, Of silt, such as oft
en- furnishes the makeup Of river bot
toms to a great depth-the engineer
ling problem involved might be one Of
utmost difficulty. But, happily, tht
fact is quite otherwise. Currents flow
ing between the North sea and the At
lantic keep the bottom Of the strai
secured clean, and its floor is OF solie
chalk-stuff almost impervious to wa
ter and easy to bore through. Thi:
chalk stratum is more than 200 fee
thick.
The distance from Dover to Calais
is only twenty-five miles. But actually
the tunnel will be thirty-two mile!

| railway with the Calais-Paris railway

It is estimated that not more thar
four years will be required to com

the investment will yield at least pei

CONFERENCE IS
CHANGING VIEWS
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Aug. lit became known
here today that the peace conference
is entirely changing its attitude to-
wards the Rumanan army at Buda-
pest, and it is learned that the con-
fence is not disposed to ask the Ru-
manian army to leave Budapest i'm
mediately, despite the fact that the
supreme inter-allied council asked
the Rumanians not to enter.
While the supreme council is indig-
nant over the Rumanian troops seiz-
ing supplies in Hungary preparatory
to shipping them to Rumania, many
delegates at the peace conference be-
lieve that it is still necessary for the
Rumanians to remain in Budapest to
steady the situation, at least tempo
rarily. The council is still without
direct reply to the ultimatum which
was sent to the Rumanian govern
ment last week.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder BOthers;
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says 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 a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your stom-
ach sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine gets cloudy,
full of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irritated, obliging you
to seek relief two or three times du-
ring the night.
To neutralize. these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take 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 beer
used for generations to flush anc
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also tc
neutralize the acids in urine, so II
no longer irritates, thus ending blad
der weakness.
.Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink.

- office spent several hours on the
nds near the wells trying to locate
nem yesterday.
At first reports it was stated that
the two men left San Diego Saturday
and were to register at the Barbara
Worth hotel here. Telephone COM
munications from an attorney In San
Diego by the name of Brandt to II. w.
Horton stated that Mrs. Kruger was
in dying condition and asked that
efforts be made to find Kruger. When
it was learned that the men were not
registered at any hotel in the valley
fears for their safety were immediate
ly aroused and a search of the entire
valley was made.
San Diego advises stated that the
two men would drive a machine over
to the valley and reports of stage
drivers seeing car alongside of the
highway near Coyote Wells added
testimony that the men had gone
across the sands and had been lost.
Up to last night friends of the two
men in the valley were still search
ing for them. San Diego newspapers
called the valley asking for informa-
ton in regard to the affair and stated
that Bell never had left San Diego
but was in the office at the time the
telephone communication was being
made and that Mrs. Kruger was not
and had not been ill, despite the fact
that Brandt had phoned three times
that Mrs. Kruger was at deaths door.
Officials here are of the opinion
that there has been domestic trouble
in the Kruger family and that Kruger
decided to leave. The theory is that he
told his wife he was coming to the
valley but in fact never entered val
ley stage or drove over himself. When
! Mrs. Kruger found that Kruger was
in fact going she, it is supposed, went
to Brandt and had him telephone that
Mrs. Kruger was dying, in an effort
to get Kruger to return to San Diego.
1t has been definitely established
that Kruger has not been in the val
ley. Meanwhile the officials in San
Diego and Imperial counties are
watching the affair with much inter-
est.
A new light is thrown on the mys-
terry by the appearance in the valley
of c. f. Weight, son-in-law of Mrs.
Kruger, and II. o. Williams, who came
to the valley last night to try and To-
cate Kruger.
Weight states that the first inti-
nation Of the disappearance Of the
man was had by the family when
newspaper reporters of San Diego
