At that time they took it straight.
Syrups were in general use in drink

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for while if your BLADDER
troubles You

When YOU wake up with backaehe and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have baekache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a 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 hthia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 30 it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is q life saver for regular
meat eaters. Il is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes . delightful, eneE'

ASSERTS DIVORCES HAVE
A GEOGRAPHIC ASPECT
Says Fashionable or Nearly Fashiona'
BILE Districts Furnish Most Cases.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Divorces have a
geographic significance, according to
Judge Baldwin, of the circuit court,
who today announced that he had
been able to map out districts in Chi
cago in which domestic discord is rife
Il have noticed during the eleven
years that l have been on the bench, .
said Judge Baldwin, that the fashion
able and what you might call the near
" fashionable districts furnish most
of the divorces. And then there are
the rooming house districts, where
family harmony is maintained with
difficulty because of lack of home life
and comforts.
1T would appear that the pleasure
loving people of the apartment house
neighborhoods who do not care for
home life, or build or buy homes, and
therefore do not welcome children in
to their families, are likely to bring
their troubles before the divorce
judge"
The jurist insists also that great
waves of emotion, such as we are just
recovering from as result of the war
have tendency to cause let-down in
morals.

SENATOR WATSON'S LIFE IN

and records Senator Thomas E. Wat
son, of Georgia, in one of the more in

ator Watson was the only new mem
Der of the Georgia delegation, hence
the biographies of others were publish
ed in preceding congresses.
The junior Georgia senator refers
to his troubles in the federal courts
because OF his anti Catholic utterances,
reviews his activities as populist, re-
cites the suppression of his publica-
tions by Wilson's administration, and
winds up with a statement OF his sue
cessfu1 race for the senate on an anti
Wilson and anti-league of nations
platform.

Huge Skeleton of Elephant
Half Million Years Old
Has Been Found in Texas
Bones of Ancient Pachyderm Being
Rebuilt by University Professor.
Has Tusks Twelve Feet Long.

Positive proof that elephants OF gi-
gantic size, with bodies probably COW
cred with long hair, once roamed the
coastal plains of Texas, has been OBJ
tanned by the unearthing at San Leon,
Texas, of the skeleton of one OF these
prehistoric animals. The period OF its
life dates back anywhere from 5O0,OOO
to 100000 years, according to n. I.
Chandler assistant professor OF biol
ogy in Rice Institute, of Houston,
who assisted in removing the skeleton
from the hard bed of sand and gravel.
1t will take some time to recon-
struct the bones and form the skele-
ton as it originally existed and until 1t
is done measurements can not be &C
curately taken The fact, however,
that the tusks are each more than II
feet long indicates the great size OF the
pachyder1n.
Before Noah collected his animals
in the ark and before Adam and Eve
ate the disastrous apple in the Garden
of Eden this beast, perhaps attacked
huge beast which also roamed
through North America at that time,
laid his great carcass down on the
sands of the beach and died, said
Mr.. Chandler. "The waves of the an
cient bay rippled over the bones of
the fallen monarch, carrying sand and
gravel, until finally the entire skeleton
was buried deep under mass of de-
bris.
Centuries passed and the land
slowly raised to its present level,
some ten feet above the water level.
Year by year the waves Tapped against
the bank, eating it away, until finally
a tooth was brought to view, probably
some 100000 years after it had dropp-
ed from the jaws of the great beast"

HAVE THEIR EYES ON
SENATE ELECTION
REPUBLICANS BEGIN TO LAY
PLANS FOR 1922, WHEN 80
MEMBERS ARE CHOSEN.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The re-
publican managers already have be-
gun laying plans for the senatorial
campaigns to be fought next year,
when one-third of the senate, 81 mem
bers, will be elected The senators
whose terms will expire are evenly di-
vided between the republicans and
democrats, and the former are out to
hold all they have and get some OF the
democratic seats.
The odds favor them, barring an
upheaval against the republican party.
OF the 10 republicans whose success
ors will be elected the republicans
probably will have the hardest task in
re-electing Senator France, of Mary
land, or the republican nominee in
case Senator France is turned down
in the primaries by his own party.
The Republican List.
Most of the others come from re-
publican states. The list includes Frel-
inghuysen, of New Jersey; Hale, Of
Maine; Johnson, of California; Kel-
1ogg, of Minnesota; Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania; La Toilette, of Wisconsin;
Lodge, of Massachusetts; McCumber,
of North Dakota; Mclean, OF Con-
necticut; New, of Indiana; Page, Of
Vermont; Poindexter, of Washington;
Sutherland, of West Virginia; Town
send, of Michigan, and Calder of New
York. The only states in the list which
offer any real hope to the democrats
are Indiana, West Virginia and New
York, and they do not offer much.
On the other hand, some of the
democrats whose term expire come
from states that ordinarily go repub-
lican, and elected democrats in 1916
mainly on the sweep in the west to
the democratic party. Others come from
states that have been doubtful in late
years, and still others from states that
were put in the doubtful column by
the results in last November's election.
In fact, of the 10 democrats going out
only three are certain, as politics go,
to be succeeded by democrats.
Three Democrats Alone Sure.
They are Senator'S Culberson, of
Texas; Swanson, of Virginia, and
Trammell OF Florida. There are 9TH
ers who ought to be succeeded by
democrats, unless the republican
sweep of last fall remains at high tide
They are Mcclellan, of Tennessee;
Pittman, of Nevada; Ashurst, of Ari-
IONA; Jones, q New Mexico; Reed,
of Missouri, and possibly Pomerene,
of Ohio, and Hitchcock, of Nebraska
Reed, Pomerene and Hitchcock have
revealed distinct personal strength,
supplementing their party's strength
in past campaigns.
Gerry, of Rhode Island; Kendrick
of Wyoming; King, of Utah; Myers
of Montana, and Wolcott, of Della
ware, probably will be succeeded by
republicans, unless the democrats are
in luck and make tremendous fights.

wife's peculiar actions, and had accept
ed her explanations that she bought
the furniture and other articles from
auction sales. He said she had a per
sonal spending allowance of $500 a
month, and often received additional
sums.
Police declared that pawn tickets
showed that she had disposed of some
of the articles she is charged with tax
ing. The setting of a ring which hac
contained a $500 diamond was identi-
fed by one woman who had employed
