Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need flushing occasion

headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of Bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for 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 is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulates them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive

water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean, thus avoiding serious compli-
cations.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have YOU ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, al at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. X,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.--Adv.

Red Cross Report Gives a Graphic
Story of Rescues During Fierce
Fighting at Russian Port
in November.

Washington.-A graphic account OF
the part played by Major Samuel l.
Johnson of Honolulu, assistant COM
mandant Of the allied forces in Vladi-
vostok, during the revolutionary fight
ing in that city on November IL and
Is, has been received by the Red
Cross headquarters here. The Red
Cross report says that Major Johnson
has been recommended TO the All-Rus-
sian government for decoration with
the Officers Cross of st. George for
the services he rendered to the people
of vladivostok during the fighting.
AS a recommendation is considered
the equivalent to bestowal, this makes
the sixth award received by Major
johnson during his service in Siberia
with the American forces, the others
being the Russian medal Of st. Anne
and Japanese, Czecho-Slovak, Italian
and Chinese decorations.
Governor M. M. Eversman Of Pri-
morsky province. in letter to Major
General w. S. Graves, commanding the
American forces in Siberia. said:
81 cannot leave unmentioned the
fact that Major Johnson, having splen-
didly fulfilled his plan in guarding the
town and the peaceful population,
though exposing his own life to danger
under furious fire, succeeded four times
in getting through to the passenger
trains that were in the center of the
fighting zone and from there brought

PLAYED WITH MARKED CARDS
Victims Finally SCOT WISE" and
Evened Things Up Slightly by Ad-
ministering a Beating After Ex-
posing His Game.

New York.-A group of screen mag
mates and music publishers along
Broadway has been fleeced out of
$350,000 by wealthy manufactures
with a deck of marked cards, whom
they admitted to their private games.
He was finally detected and thrown
out of the house of the man who
caught him. The World prints the
story, calling the fleecer Mr.. Trimmer
and the other man Mr.. Screen. 1t as
serts it has their real names.
For a considerable time group of
twelve or fourteen men, all of ample
means, have been playing stud poker.
There were Mr.. Screen, big picture
promoter and the husband of one of
the prettiest and most talented stars /;
Mr.. Fhckers, of equal rank in cellu-
loid productions; Mr.. Circuit, who
owns flock of theaters; Mr.. Ragg,
who receives immense royalties from
his song compositions, and others quite
as well known in their respective
fields.
Last SUMMER, DIT Il dE NOChdWcy anu
Arverne, their ranks were augmented
by Mr.. Trimmer. He is a manufac-
turer on an immense scale of certain
article of women's wear, and is gen.
orally known as millionaire.
They Thought 1t Was Luck.
Mr.. Trimmer's ''uncanny luck" as
the other players called it, was notice
able from the very start. In one ses-
sion, for instance, which began on
a Saturday night and continued into
Sunday, he cleaned up more than $780,
600.
The daring of Mr.. Trimmer's play
was what interested the others more
than anything else. He would make
bets against seemingly impossible
odds-and win them.
Mr.. Trimmer always knew what the
other fellows secret card was, when
he was the dealer, and he always won.
Also he always knew, when he held
the deck, what card his opponent
would get next, and what card he
(Trimmer) was going to get next, for
his cards were what is known to gam
blers as readers"

civilians"
Major Graves, son of General Graves,
was another officer, according to the
Red Cross account, who with utter
feariessness walked into the danger
zone to aid women and children ex-
posed to fire. Major Johnson has paid
tribute to the part also played by the
international military police. whom he
commanded.
II want those men to get the recog-
milton due Them" he said. "They rem
dered the greatest assistance, showed
absolute steadiness and GOODNESS and
ran the same risks" The Red Cross
account says that the international
military police and allied detachments
held control of Vladivostok, enforcing
the policy of neutrality adopted by the
allies, and that, thanks to this, Vladi-
vostok was unswept by battle except
In the vicinity Of the railway station.
There, however, furious combat ragged.
For men who entered the area Of
fighting and the path of flying bullets

knew it," says the report.
Among those saved by Major John
son and his men were General Roman

chief of the Russian generals staff.
He was living with his family in the
railway yards in his special train and
was a noncombatant. Soldiers Of
both sides fired upon the train. 1t was
utterly dark and a storming, showing
November morning when Major John
son found the car and escorted the
family to safety.

"Some Of those he rescued that
night were found in the railway sta
ton where the most sanguinary fight
ing took place. They had sought ref
uge in cellars, or secluded little offices,
and crouched in the darkness, afraid
to move, afraid to whisper. In most
cases, when the rescue party arrived,
it took repeated calls and reassur-
ances to locate the frightened, sus-
picious men and women.
"The first rescue trip was made
about 10 O'clock on the night Of No
vember IL and the last at 5 80 o'clock
on the morning of November IS.
"Major Johnson's command Of Rus
sian, for he is Russian born, was
big asset in this emergency work at

throughout his service in Siberia.

There were four flowers, each with

Blood Stains
