DEMANDS
MADE ON PHONE
SERVICE IN CITY
Company Has lust Com
pleted $4,000 Gable
Program; Everybody to
Use Phone.

The telephone may be used as g
barometer for gauging the growth
and prosperity of a city, accord,
ing to j. b. Reynolds, district man.
ager of the Mountain States Tele.
phone and Telegraph company
who yesterday announced a net in
crease of 80 telephones put in use
in Albuquerque during the past 80
days.
Having just completed tho lay
irg OF now telephone cables in the
city at q cost of between $50, 0Gl
and see. 900, the company contem
plates a substantial addition to the
central office between Copper and
Central avenues, on Fourth street,
to be made the first Of the year
for switchboard room.
The aerial cable on East Cen
trail avenue carrying 400 pairs of
wires has been replaced by an un-
derground cable of 800 pairs and
other additions have been made in
every section of the city. During
the war the company could not
obtain materials and Albuquerque
outgrew its telephone system, Mr..
Reynolds said. Now the company
is experiencing the difficulty every
other large organization is having
in obtaining money to carry on a
progressive building program.
With the exception of few Sec
tions the company is now able to
meet all telephone demands. In
these sections all persons whose
telephone use is light are urged to
use a party line. The telephone is
being used as never before. Mr.
Reynolds said, and even wash
women are finding it a necessary
adjunct in their business.
The hour between and 10 a. m.
is an especially trying one for the
hello girl and is the busiest dur
ing the entire day. Business men
have just reached their offices and
are taking up the morning business
by telephone, and housewives are
giving their orders to the grocer
and butcher. At II o'clock there
is a lull of several hours, then the
calls again increase until the after
noon peak is reached between s
and o'clock.

BROTHERS AND
SISTERS FIND
GENUINE HOME
Orphans Kept Together at
New Mexico Baptist Home
at PortaleS; Campaign for
$4,000 After Xmas.

An orphanage which keeps little
families together and gives them
a home without separating broth
ers and sisters, is that maintained
by the Baptists at Portales. N NJ
1t does not matter to what denom-
ination the parents of the children
only consideration is whether the
child is fatherless. motherless and
homeless. such little unfortunates
are taken I'm and cared for as in a
real home.
A recent visitor to the home,
Miss Emma Kegel. Red Cross nurse
at Ration. wrote OF the institutions
I found the home comfortable
and homelike. the children ex-
tremely happy. and our welcome
by both teachers and children most
cordial.
The home, which had formerly
been the residence of a Portales
doctor, has been converted into a
very comfortable institution There
is large dining room which is also
used as a recreation hall Very
pleasant sleeping rooms occupy two
CAOto vi lllt Cilt olut lOl
girls and the other for the boys.
The children occupy double beds,
and children of the same family
are kept together.
Three very small babies were in
the home, one less than two weeks
old. The babies sleep in cribs, in
the teachers rooms.
One thing that was rather i'm
pressive was the great affection the
children have, not only for the
teachers but for each other. and
instead of calling their teachers
Miss they call them Aunt"
The home is surrounded with
several acres of cultivated land,
and during my visit l had the
pleasure of seeing the children
feasting on watermelons gathered
in their own garden spot. Several
truck loads of melons had been
sold. The sweet potato crop, too,
was very promising.
The children of school age at
tend the public school in Portales.
DR. ]. w Bruner returned Mon
day from Tucumcari and reports
that people are taking hold of the
work of organizing the campaign
for $4,000 for the orphans home.
and that the active work in Albu-
querque will begin on Thursday

POLICEMAN HERE
ONCE GUARD FOR
FUGITIVE CONVICT

Police yesterday received cards
from the state penitentiary with Il
bertillon description of j. A.
Houchin, who escaped Sunday
from the state penitentiary where
he was serving Il sentence of from
five to ten years for murder.
Following his arrest in 1917
after the bodies of an aged man
and woman had been discovered
buried under the floor of their
home near Las Palomas, Sierra
county, feeling was so strong that
Houchin was taken to Santa Fe for
safe keeping.
When he was taken back to
Hillsboro for trial, Patrolman
Thomas Hogan of the local police
force accompanied the Santa Fe
county deputy sheriff with the
prisoner and helped guard him un-
til he was convicted and taken back
to Santa Fe.

 Two machines are already engaged in the enterprise They will touch at least one town in every constitu- ency. Campaign literature will be dropped from the arplane as it circles over the town. After landing, the government supporter in the ma- chine will address the crowd that gathers to meet it. Supporters of Premier Norris are enthusiastic over the scheme.
 The machines at present engaged display an appeal urging voters to support the present government.

GLASS OF SALTS
 CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Blad- der Bothers You Drink
 Lots of Hot Water

When your kidneys hurt and
 your back feels sore, don't get scared
 and proceed to load your stomach
 with a lot of drugs that excite the
 kidneys and rritate the entire urinary
 tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flush ing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the bOdy's urinous waste and stimulates them to thil normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In A hours they strain from it 800 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital impor
 tancc of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any phar macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass If water before breakfast each morning for few days and 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 clean and stim ulate clogged kidneys; also to neutral ze the acid in the urine so it no
 longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot lnjure; makes a delightful efferves- l cent Whitewater drink which every. | one should take now and then to | keep their kidneys clean and active Try this, also keep up the water | drinking and no doubt you will
 wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.
