GLASS OF SALTS IF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat less meat if you feel Back
achy or have Bladder trouble
Salts fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick hea dacne, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated. obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a. table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and blad-
der disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then. thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases-AdV.

CONFLICTS Marriage to
Miss Codding Illegal,
Says Executive Clerk
With Inman Back in Penitentiary Daughter of Former
Warden Faces New Sorrow-Marriage Occurred in
Holdenville, Okla, August 25-She Urged CIemency
for Her Husband.

Did she ever urge cIemency for
Inman?"
Yes. several times. She asked
on various occasions when we were
going to give Inman his chance. But
I don't believe she showed more in
terest in his case than in parole ap-
plications for several other men,"
rs their marriage legaI?"
Marriage Not Legal.
Not. under the law. Inman was
not vested with citizenship rights at
the time. Under the laws of Kansas
i was nothing more than a common
law marriage contract"
The situation adds new complica-
lions to the trouble which has devel-
oped as a result of Inman's return to
prison. He will not be given a hear
ing on his application for release un-
til December.
There is a belief in the state house
that a strange fascination and fren-
zied sympathy for a man, who, the
Warden's daughter felt had not re-
ceiVed a fair chance, developed their
love affair. When Inman left the
PRISON they were married in Okla
homa when the prisoner went there
tos begin work on a farm owned . by
Codding's son. 1t is reported that the
Junior COdding attempted to prevent
a wedding bat failed.
Former Warden Codding has not
made direct appeal for clemency for
!nman. His desire for assistance, tho,
is said to have been expressed thru
third parties. Mrs. Inman herself
came to Topeka last week to seek aid.
Her Whereabouts Unknown.
Mrs. Inman's parents denv knowl-
edge as to the woman's whereabouts
Ihere is belief that she is in seclu-
sion and may not appear in the case
again during the time it is attracting
wide public attention.
Members of the state board of ad-
mlnlstration were in conference to-
day. They stated no effort would be
made to advance Inman's hearing for
restoration of parole privileges until
the next regular meeting. That means
a hearing in December.

prison records in the governors Of
flee shows that the crime for which
Inman was convicted occurred in Ar
kansas City about noon November "a.
1916. Inman was an employee in the
jewelry store of E. L. Mcdowell. A
clerk in the store was held up,
shown that Inman was across the
street when the robbery occurred.

to the holdup, was shown to have

the robbery and divided the spoils.
Escaped From Jail.
Twice after his arrest Inman
escaped from Jail. Once he made

shows he has been arrested on several
occasions in Kansas, Oklahoma and
Missouri. He was declared to have
been the brains of the Arkansas City

The membership of the Legion will
be strongly in support of the annual
Red Cross roll call as the Legion has
been working in cooperation with the
Shawnee county. Since being dis
Cross in the care of disabl ex-serv-
ice men and their dependents in the
county. Mcfarland, as post adjutant
of Capitol Post No. /, has been in
closest touch with the local Red Cross
headquarters during the past year in
the care of these 'buddies" who are
in need of aid.
He is familiar with the condition of
the ex-service men who have obtained
such federal aid and vocational train
ing as was possible to obtain for them
under the old vocational training bu-
reau, and is one of the strongest sup
porters for the Red Cross for the great
work it has accomplished during the
pat two and one-half years since the
rehabilitation of the service men.
Case With Real Appeal.
One case of special appeal, he cites,
is that of eighteen colored ex-SerVice
men who were taking vocational train
ing at Qutndaro university in Kansas
City, Kan. These men were cut off
from further training within three
months of the time they would have
completed their courses by reason Cf
some federal blunder in the maze of
bureaus which have been handling the
vocational training and other work
prior to the recent consolidation under
the veterans bureau. The Shawnee
County Red Cross took up their case.
They were brought to Topeka, per-
mitted to complete their training at
the Topeka Educational and Indus
trial institute. the expense being met
by the Shawnee county chapter of the
Red Cross, such expense being in ex-
cess of $1,000, of which amount only
a part was recovered from the voca-
tional training bureau.
These and hundreds of similar acts
have been performed by the local Red
Cross on behalf of ex-service men or
their dependents, and Mcfarland is
urging the support of every citizen in
Shawnee county for the program as
outlined for the coming year by the
county chapter.

Capitol Post No. 1, of the Legion will

Elmer Inman's marriage to Miss
Lavona Codding was Illegal The con-
Wet was rot in possession of citizen
ship rights at the time he led the
daughter of the former state prison
warden to the altar.
Judge c. w. Smith, executive clerk
in Governor Aliens office. today as
serted that the marriage could be held
under the Kansas laws as nothing
more than a common law contract.
With Inman back in the penitentiary
for violation of his parole, it today
became apparent that his bride was
due to face new sorrow and humilia =
ton. Even her claim to lawful we'd
lock may be lost because of a seeming
blind faith and sympathetic love for
Inman.
Were Married in Oklahoma.
Inman and Miss Codding were mar
ried in HOldenVille, Okla, August %,
it became known here today. Now
Inman-who was serving sentence of
ten to twenty-one years for completely
in an $4,000 jewelry robbery in Ar
kansas City-is back in prison for
violation of his parole. 1t was while
he enjoyed liberty under a temporary
parole that Inman claimed his bride
and they were secretly married.
Neither of the brides parents were
aware of the wedding until Mrs. In
man sought restoration of parole
rights for her husband.
State officials familiar with state
prison affairs today talked freely re-
garding Inman and the privileges
which he enjoyed while serving his
prison term. The love which had de-
veloped while Inman served as chauf
feur for Warden J. K. Codding was
apparently successfully hidden by the
was known. tho, that Inman was
away from the prison a great deal
while driving for the warden and his
family.
Took Too Much Interest in InmaE.
"Inman seemed to enjoy every pos
sibIe privilege which could be ex-
tended to a prison inmate" said Har-
vey Penney of the state board of ad-
Warden Codding took
a great interest in him. Inman seemed
attentive to Mrs. Codding
who was a very sick woman much of
the time He took her for many
drives I don't believe there was ever
a suspicion, tho, that a love existed
between Miss Codding and Inman al
tho he frequently drove her to Kansas
CITY where she was employed"
Judge Smith had frequently OBJ
served Inman when he met with the
prison board.
"Once after I received revised
of Inman's case 1 told War
den Codding that ne would miss MS
man and his car some day if Inman
failed to secure a parole" said Judge
Smith. THE warden believed Inman
had been 'jobbed.' He showed a great
interest in his case"
We're Together Great Deal.
"Were Inman and Miss Codding to-
yether a great deal?"
IT never saw them together alone.
Nor did I know they were interested
in each other to the point of a love
affair. I believe it was more of a
affair which developed
into love on the girls part"

MARKET LETTER.

Chicago, Ill. Nov -WHEAT-Trade
was small, but the market maintained n
strong tone and advanced to a premium of
more than two cents over last nights close.
A contributing factor was the strength
shown in Liverpool, where prices were 315d
situation abroad. Exporters reported some
Gulf wheat sold to Holland, the first in
some time.
Otherwise, the export demand was quiet
altho cables intimated that more interest
was being shown and it was also said that
the Italian government is expected to be
in the market next week. Primary re-
ceipts were only $4,000 bushels compared
with 1.432, 600 bushels last year and all
cash markets were strong and higher. 1t
now seems quite certain that the big move
ment of wheat is at an end, the period OF
accumulation behind US.
While the situation is Indicative Of a
higher level of prices. it is logical to as
sumo that the advance of the past few days
will attract sufficient profit taking to
bring about a moderate setback

DR.. Menninger pleaded for the de-
velopment of an intellectual and a

suit of this much needed desire for the
best and the highest along those lines.
