Salt Lake City has been laboring
for some time under the handicap of
a plague of smoke and the authori-
ties have sought reliefhin many direc-
tons without success, according to a
writer in the Philadelphia Press Re-
Gently the theory was advanced that
the sulphur dioxide gas from the nu-
merous smelling plants in the vicinity
of the city were responsible for an
upper air strata, which prevented
smoke from rising, so that it hung
in a pail over the city. In order to
verify this theory some especially de-
signed vacuum bottles were made and
carried aloft in airplanes and SAM
pies of the upper air taken at various
levels, and when the contents were
analysed there was not a trace of
sulphur dioxide, so that some other
cause will have to be found for the
smoke cloud.

AMAZING FEATS OF STRENGTH
Pole, Without Seemingly Remarkable
Muscular Developments, Breaks Rec.
ord-Performer's Awful Fate.

Visitors to q well-known London mu-
sic hall some years ago witnessed a
remarkable sight.
1t was announced that a Pole,
named Lettl, would perform some
amazing feats of strength.
There appeared upon the stage a lit
tie man only five feet in height, and
weighing about 14O pounds. Not
young, either for he was only three
years off forty
The audience rubbed their eyes.
Was this the much advertised strong
man? A huge anchor was brought in,
and four men chung to it. This bur-
den, weighing no less than 1900
pounds, was at once lifted by Lettl,
who thus beat the record lift by no
less than 400 pounds.
He then stood between two eight
horsepower cars, to which he at
tached himself by means of hooks,
which he held in his hands. The cars
were started simultaneously, but, by
sheer finger-strength, Lett held them
so that they could not move, although
the engines we're working at full
power.
This feat of holding two cars may
perhaps be taken as pretty well the
limit of human strength. That it is
a fearfully risky feat is proved by
the horrible accident which recently
befell the famous strong man known
as Apolon.
At Vichy, before a large audience,
he essayed similar feat, his arms b4-
ing harnessed by chains to two cars
which were driven in opposite direc-
tons. He accomplished the perform
ance safely and then, in answer to
applause, tried 1t again. To the hor-
ror Of the spectators. he was seen to
lose his balance. Before the motors
could be stopped, all the muscles Of
the right side of his chest were torn
out. He died almost instantly.

Acts on the Liver,
Regulates Kidneys,
Purifies the Blood

The liver is the Largest and most i'm
portant organ in the body, and when the
liver refuses to act, 1t causes constipa-
ton, biliousness headaches, indigestion,
gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in the back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on right
side. These symptoms lead to colds, in
duenza or other serious troubles unless
corrected Immediately
An inactive liver places an extra bur-
den op the kidneys, which overtaxes
them and causes the blood to absorb and
carry into the system the impurities that
the liver and kidneys have failed to elm
mate
When you treat the liver alone. you
treat only third of your trouble, and
that is why you have to take purgatives
every few nights. Calomel or other ordi-
nary laXatfves do not go far enough. If
You would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver, you would put
your entire system in order and frequent
purgatives would then be unnecessary. :

AIRPLANE SERVES THE CROOK
Law officers Face a New and Decided.
ly Dangerous Aid to Evaders
Of Justice.

Scotland Yard, which every British
er considers the worlds highest organ
ization for the capture of criminals
and the detection of crime, and to
which every British writer of detec-
tive stories has given unstinted praise
for cleverness, has just been outwit-
ted, according to Londons own confess
sion, by shrewd criminal who has
brains enough to think of some other
way than land or water route of get
ting out of England.
The machinery of the great English
detective organization was put into op-
GRAFTON along all the old accepted
lines; close watch was kept on all
trains and the passengers of every out
going boat were carefully scrutinized.
The man for whom this net was
spread did not attempt any of the dis
guises or subterfuges in which the
writer's of the modern Old Cap Collier
stories greatly delight. He telephoned
to the London airport at Croydon, ask
ing for reservation on the-plane leav-
ing for Paris. When informed that the
afternoon craft had already left, he
went to the aviation ground and Sc
cured a special plane. 1t required a
liberal distribution of money, but it
<paid him. He hoped over the top
of the big police net and dropped safe
ly on French soil.
The report of the feat says this aeri-
al escape of criminal 'was the first
in TIE annals of British crime" But
the whole history of crime is full of
instances where the clever criminal
has surprised the police by the employ
ment of a new sinvention or contriv-
ance which was never intended for his
use. This exploit should prove not
alone to Scotland Yard but to the po-
lice departments elsewhere the neces-
ity of precautions that will make its
recurrence impossible.

Bob was gazing wistfully at her
flushed face. 'Maida," he said gently,

Mazda lowered her lashes over her
smudgy blue eyes, but not before Bob
had seen the lovelight III them.
Hardly yet comprehending, he held
out his arms. Come to me, Mazda, if
it is to be for all time-not for a

And Mazda went.
