SAYS YANKEE SHOES
LEFT RUIN IN PARIS
DID OVER S12s,o00 DAMAGE TO
PARIS HOTEL. RUINED
RUGS AND FLOORS.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Hob nailed
shoes of 200 doughboy guards posted
at the Hotel Crillon, where the Ameri-
can peace commission had its head
quarters in Paris, caused virtually all
the damage for which the owners
charged the commission OF $IZ5,OOO,
the manager of the hotel Henri De-
quis, said here.
1t was this item of damages in the
expenses of the delegation over which
considerable protest was voiced recent
ly in the house of representatives and
which, among other expenses, Pres1-
dent Wilson was asked to itemize in
a resolution adopted in the house.
THE 200 American soldiers who
guarded the commission in Paris dam
aged the Hotel Crillon to the extent OF
about S625 EACH" said M. Dequis.
They were neither impolite nor
boisterous, but they had to tramp in
and out and all about the hotel all the
time, wearing hob nailed shoes, over
the polished floors and expensive rugs,
1t cost the hotel $4,000 francs to re-
place the carpets and 100000 francs
to put the hotel in order" he declared.
NJ. Dequis said the boots OF the
French soldiers had the same effect,
and said he understood the British
did even more damage to the Hotel
Majestic 1T is very sad, he s1ghed'
but c'est la guerre."

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
fake q glass Of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you-Drink
more water.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells US that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to expe! it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take 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
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
30 it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure, and makes delightful efervescent
Whitewater drink.

BOSTON.-Three ways OF over

Second, we will endeavor to get
the remaining nine states that have
no enforcement codes to do what the
other dry states have done and pro-
hibit the prescribing of beer for medic

FINALLY, we will ask congress to
change the law in this respect if it is
necessary to do so.
Only Nine States.
"In the meantime the brewers can
not make any real beer until the new
regulations are made and then only
in very small quantities, as it can only
be used in nine states under strict linn
itations.

HALF BREED NAMED
IN STILLMAN CASE
WIFE, Fiji" AND 2S MONTHS
OLD SON ARE MADE CO.
DEFENDANTS IN CASE.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.-Fred
Beauvais, half breed Indian, a guide
at Three rivers, in the province OF
Quebec, is the correspondent named
by James A. -Stillman, president of
the National City bank OF New York,
in his suit for absolute divorce from
his wife, Mrs. Anna Urqhart Potter
Stillman, once Familiarity known as
Fiji Potter.
The Indian, part French-Canadian
and part Indian, is described as six
feet tall, 20 years old and single. Ac-
cording to the first definite informa-
ton to get through the secrecy thrown
about the case he was employed at
the Stil1man lodge, Stillman's camp
lust outside of Three rivers, Quebec.
The basis of the action, it is alleged,
occurred during the year following
the fall of 1918.
Would Lose Fortune.
Another definite fact established on
Friday was that Guy Stillman, now
only % months old, had been made a
co-defendant with his mctner. John
E. Mack, former district attorney OF
Dutchess county, was appointed his
guardian at law.
Lawyers, some of whom admitted
having read the allegations in the I'M
filed complaint made by the banker
expressed the opinion that, if Mr.. Still
man won his suit, Guy Stillman would
lose all claim to the Stillman millions
Strength to this opinion was lent by
the fact that two other Stillman chill
dren, Anne and James, are not men
toned in the action.

800 PICTURE BRIDES
ARRIVE FROM EROPE
BRIDEGROOMS GREET FU-
TURE BRIDES WITH HUGS
AND KISSES ON SIGHT.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Do you be-
lieve in love at first sighto New York
ers have been asking one another the
question ever since the arrival here
this week of 800 picture brides"
Coming from Turkey, Armenia, Italy
and Greece aboard the King Alexan-
der and the Providence, the cargo of
brides was unloaded at this port and
met by prospective bridegrooms whom
they had never seen before. The girls
had been chosen by photographs
shown the men by friends or relatives.
A written proposal had been the re-
suit, and if the girl accepted this was
| followed by money enough for her
passage. Three hundred girls in the
| Balkans and italy took chance, &C
cepted the offer, put on their best
dresses and their gayest shawls and
started for America and matrimony.
If you are skeptical of love at first
sight you should have been present
when the big ships from overseas
neared the port OF New York. 1t was
all the police could do to keep, some
of the bridegrooms-to-be from jump
ing out to meet their brides, while
others, more shrewd than they, scam
ed we'll the faces of the girls as the
ocean liner came slowly into dock.
Hugs mad Kisses Follow.
There was much comparing of we'll
thumbed photographs and the rosy
checked girls, but when the cargo OF
brides was unloaded they found them
selves welcome with wide-open arms
The hugs and kisses that followed
were enough to make even the most
skeptical Anglo-Saxon believe in love
at first sight, Apparently everyone
was pleased with the choice he had
made by photograph. | questioned
Leonardo, whose face was wreathed
with smiles as he strayed away with
dark-eyed Maria. Maria had put on d
white dress, white shoes and a rose
over her dark hair for the occasion
Her face, too, was beaming.
Me peek a peach, like you say in
English" commented the would-be
bridegroom as he hurried off with his
prize to the church for Italian immi-
grants to be married. Father Morreto
the Italian priest, who had been per
forming wedding ceremonies, almost
without a break, ever since the arrival
of the Providence, is optimistic as tC
! the outcome OF these marriages. He
believes that choosing of bride or d
bridegroom by pictures is as good q
way, and perhaps as safe way as
any other of selecting life mate, and
one that is especially well suited tC
romantic temperamentS.
