MAN is NARROWED
ON TOP OF PIER

Anderson, S. C, April 22.-Marooned
already for 80 hours without food or
water on top of a pier OF Gregg shoals
hydro-electric plant, on Savannah.
river, e. G. Partain will probably have
TO spend the remainder of today on
his perch. wheer he has been since a
bateau in which he and w. L. Con-
well were crossing the stream was
swept over the dam Wednesday morn
ing at o'clock, dashing the latter
to death on the rocks below.
First reports stated that Partain
also went over the dam with his com
panion, but it has since been learned
that he leaped just as the bateau
plunged over the precipice and chung
to pier which stands above the dam.
Clambering to the top of the stone pill
lar, he spent the day and night there.
while would-be rescuers made heroic
efforts TO rescue him. Efforts to get
a cable across the stream have failed.
while attempts TO get to the man with
a 6oat from above or below the dam
have been out of the question. The
only hope now of rescuing him is to
wait for the flood waters to recede
sufficiently to allow persons to walk
along the crest of the dam and take
him off the pier.

GARY HOLDING
DOWN PRICES

New York, April 2r.-Elbert II. Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation, informed the stockholders
at the annual meeting in Hoooken to-
day that the corporation was holding
down the prices of its products be-
cause of the high cost of living.
Referring to inquiries made as to
why in view of the great demand, the
cost Of production and prices received
by other manufacturers, the prices of
the corporations products had not been
raised above those fixed by agreement
between the industrial board and steel
said:
1T Aeems to US the problem of high
cost of living is of convincing impor-
lance. When the increasing tendency
is to insist upon payment of unreason-
able sums for every commodity and for
every service, so that the vicious whirl
of advancement seems to be unending,
we think there is a moral obligation
on the part of every one to use all
| reasonable efforts to check this car
nival of greed and imposition, even
at some sacrifice
| The attitude of the corporation on
| prices, Mr.. Gary added has had con-
siderable influence in preventing in
creases in the general selling prices of
steel, although some (manufacturers)
have made them, due, as they claim
to increased cost of manufacture.
Moreover, it is believed that in
\ view of all the conditions prevailing
| the selling prices of most of the di-
versified products of the corporation
for the present at least, are high
enough, though it is pertinent to say
that when the actual value of the prop
critics and volume of business of the
corporation are considered, the net
return is at least moderate
Mr.. Gary said much thought had
| been given to the question of shorter
hours for the corporations employees
but that workmen were not satisfied
with short hours a day if larger pay
could be had by working longer days
/ Reviewing last years steel strike
Mr.. Gary announced that the corpora
ton would continue to maintain the
open shop.

I'VE, of Escambia county and Pen

he rendered in the establishment here

Gratitude and self interest join
hands in asking US to reflect him. AS
IA citizen of Pensacola, interested and
building and advancement, 1 am glad
of this opportunity to pay tribute

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
TAKE a GLASS OF SALTS BEFORE
BREAKFAST If YOUR BACK
HURTS OR BLADDER is


No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a Well
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which exciNs the kidneys. they become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble. nervousness, dizziness, sleepless-
ness and urinary disorders come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your. back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by a sensation of scalding, stop eating
meat and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in glass of water before break
fast and in few days your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutraliZe the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita ton,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia- water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active and the blood pure,
thereby avoiding serious kidney 'compli-
