The mail yesterday brough' informa-
ton by circular letter to q number Of in
terasted parties to the etfest that the
preliminary examination report on the
proposition for the Improvement of mar
Dor at this port, authorized by the Act
OF Congress approved June 5, 1920, has
been made, and is unfavorable to the
Improvement, Upon the grounds that
while 1t is evident that the Improvement
OF the harbor, by providing a suitable
channel, would be a SAVING of both time
and money to the people If Christian
sted, this benefit does not appear suffi-
Gent to Justify the cost of providing
such a channel; also that there appears
to be no disposition on the part of the
local interests TO c0O2erats in the i'm
provement proposed or TO provide a ter
mlnaI to replace primitive method of
handling fraiQht. The letter goes on TO
say that all interested parties have the
privilege of an appeal from this con
clusion to the Board Of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors, a permane.A
body sitting at Washington, D. c.,
TO which all examinations anC survey
reports of this character are referred.
we maven I the SilgGteSf expectation that
anyone would consider an appeal of this
matter as it is safe to believe that it
would not 5have any avail whatever.
For the time being Chri5tiansted must
plod along as it has don in tn past.
The Navy tug ~radoussac arrived
here yesterday with His ExcelIency
Governor Oman who attended the meet
ing Of the Colonial Council and returned
at $50 p. N.
In his farewell address to the Council
the Governor said he would cherish
pleasant recoIlections of his administra-
ton in these islands. He regretted his
not having been able to reside a part of
the time in St. Croix and explained reas-
ons therefor which he believed would
not operate to prevent a civil governor
whenever civil government should be
introduced taking up the old routine of
residing some Of the time in both islands.

formed there and having p~retensions to

IF BACK HURTS

Flush your kidneys occa- sionally if you eat meat
 regularly

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness. constipation, di9k ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts. or if the urine is cloudy. offensive. full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with nthia and has been used for gen. erations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity. also to neu- traiize the acids in urine so 1t no longer causes irritation. thus ending bladder disorders

MRS RAMON WAITED
 YEARS FOR HUSBAND

(Continued from Page One.) for ten years-whiie the other woman had him and played more intimate and prominent part in his life than she, his wife and the mother of his children.
 Some day he'll tire of it all and come home to me and the children" she is quoted as saying. I'll be will Hng.''
 No one would describe Clara Smith Hamon as a siren. She was an un- worldly country girl when she met Hamon, a man old enough to be her father. Her life was not an enviable one, as she travelled with the oil king, and met prominent men, but their wives did not receive her
 At last the day came when the wife's triumph seemed near. Ulysses was ready to come home.
 But fate who had smiled upon Jake Hamon and thrown millions and power into his lap turned fickle at the last. He died without the power he had craved. The woman who had | him for ten years while the wife waited, is charged with his murder. It is for the moralists to say who had the final triumph-the wife or | the other woman.

Lake Denounces yiolators.

Disregard of a consti- tutiona1 provision is the next thing to treason,' said Gov. Everett J. Lake, in referring to the present attitude toward the federal prohibition amend ment taken by "otherwise good cit zens."
 'It is indeed a serious matter when so many are ignoring one of the last provisions of the constitutions,' said the governor. Our present problem is away above that of the use or non use of alcohol or Of the stopping of drunkenness It's a question of whether you and I believe in the con- sdtution as the fundamental law Of our government. Citizens should live tHp to this amendment and public off, ciais should enforce it strictly or elSe it should be done away with. It is the constitution and 1t m-lst be obeyed by every law-abiding citizen. I re- peat-the amendment must be taken more seriously than many otherwise good citizens have taken it.''

NEW WORKERS TANK LIP.

New York-The first anniversary prohibition was marked in New York by miniature New Years eve orgy of drinking. Among the score of prisoners arraigned in Jefferson Market Court on the charge of drunkenness were three young wo- men who said they held responsible positions in the business world. An- other prisoner in the same court was Frank Hays, who said he was a St Louis broker. Hays told Magistrate Charles E. Eimms that he had $2,5O0 in his possession.
 ''All right" replied the magistrate, "I will take S1O of it''
