AMERICAN CANNED GOODS POPULAR IN
 FRENCH KITCHENS

PARIS, July 6.-The vast stock of canned fods left in France by the American Army and now beins sold to the public is proving a boon to the French housewife.
 She is now able to go to hel usual grocery store and buy canned goods-really canned in America and containing labels in real Eng lish-at a price which is sometime: 300 per cent cheaper than the same variety of food canned by tht French.
 String beans, salmon, tuna fish corned beef, potted ham, combina tions of vegetables and meat of var ious kinds and many others are now obtainable from the stock of thing, the American Army left behind ant sold to the French government.
 Many of these things, pork ant beans, for instance, were virtually unknown to the French until the American army came to France. Al are products of the best known Am terican packers and it is striking that the average French housewife says American canning methods arc better than the French.

IF KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Out Your Kidneys and Neutralize
 Irritating Acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness re- suit from uric acid, says noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass 1t on to the bladder, where it often re- mains to irritate and tnflame, caus- ing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder. obliging you to seek relief two or three times dur ing the night. The sufferer Is In constant dread, the water passes sometimes with scalding sensa- tion and is very profuse; again, ther is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control 1 urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very pain ful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is source of irritation to the blad- der and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irri- tation. lad Salts is splendid for the kidneys and causes no bad ef- | fleets whatever.
 I Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent Whitewater drink, which quick l ly relieves bladder trouble.

sert that the device has all of the advantages of the captive balloon and few of its disadvantages The helieopter, they claim, is but slight ly visible when ir the air and there fore offers small target to gun fire; can shoot directly upward at enemy aircraft overh cad; is non infiammable; requires much less ground equipment and personnel than balloon and can be rapidly transferred from one place to an other.
 Interest Navy Men.
 Naval aviators are interested in the helicopter idea, some of them Believing the device may provide the best means of taking long distance observations from the battleships. Captive hehcopters. it is also said, would be useful for gathering met eorological data and for carrying radio antenna in places where radio masts to hold the aerial cannot be constructed.
 So far as is known the Austrian Eelicopter, known as the Karman, is the first device of the kind that has ever made sustained flight to any height Recent reports from Paris are to the effect that the Damblanc helicopter, now under going tests there, has shown con- | siderable promise. The WambalnC  machine is operated by four blades assembled on cross bar revolving about the axis of the wings on ball bearings. The device is equipped with two stabilizing planes oper- atcd from the fuselage and the mo tive power is furnished by two TO tery 150 horsepower Rhone engines The Damblanc machine is designed to carry one man and fuel for about 30 minutes sustained flight.

HELICOPTER IS INVENTED WHICH
 RISES 150 FEET
Ascends Vertically With Load Equivalent to Four Men
 and Keeps Steady.

WASHINGTON, July GA heli risen more than l50 feet vertically from the ground has been developed in Austria, according to reports from a European correspondent of tho National Advisory Board for Aeronautics. In view of the experi- ments now being conducted by avia- tors in many countries. particularly the United States, France and Great Britain, in an effort to design and construct a successful helicopter tte news is considered of great i'm portance by flying men here.
 According to the reports, the Austrian helicopter consists of a three-armed frame built of steel tubes, equipped with three built-in gasoline motors of the. Le Hone type, each developing 120 horse power. The motors drive two pro pellor shafts revolving in opposite directions and the shafts in turn drive two propellors arranged one
 
 each nearly 20 feet in diameter. The propellors are attached to the upper plane of the hclicopter aRd revOlve in opposite directions at about COG revolutions minute. In the cen ter or hub" of the device above the propellors, is the operating com- partment, which is also fitted with a machine gun and a place for the gunner.
 Kept Captive by Cable.
 In the tests so far conducted with the Austrian helicopter, according to the reports, the machine has been kept captive by means of cables, al lowing it to be hauled back to the >earth at the conclusion of flight ty means of a winch. During one such test, the reports assert, the helicopter rose to low altitude and remained in the air an hour. In another test the machine ascended about 160 feet, carrying a load equivalent to four men, and re- mained perfectly tranquil in a high minds
 The device is equipped with a parachute so arranged as to open automatically in the event of an abrupt descent, the reports say, ad- ding that the parachute will so ease the fall as to prevent injury to the helicopter
 Advocates of the hehcopter con tend that the machine, if it can be perfected, will add new valuable weapon to aerial warfare. They as-

WIDOW OF VANCE BELIEVES
LINDSEY SLEW HUSBAND.

Bardstown, KY. - Nelson county's
mystery murder, after two days of ex-
animation Of witnesses in the coron-
er's inquest, is as deep n mystery as 1t
was when Coroner W. f. Crume open
ed the inquiry into the assassination Of
Charles E. Vance. Mrs. Vance, widow
of the murdered man, clother in black
and with an unhesitating answer for
all questions asked her by County At
torney Ernest N. Fulton, occupied the
witness chair. She related the events
OF the night Of the murder and gave
her opinion as to the identity Of the

that any one except Joseph Lindsey,
former employee. could have had any
motive for the killing. Lindsey wass
released at $3.50 bond.

text Of Searching for Liquor
Take Nelson's Money.

Not until several days after II oc-
Cured was report left with the sheriff
OF Highland county, Ohio, of the most
brutal treatment that has occurred un
der guise Of prohibition enforcement.
John Nelson, employed upon the farm
Of Miss West, in the Cynthiana neigh
borhood Of the Pike county line. stated
that the incident began when Miss
West, a boy named Jenkins and him
self were eating supper. They heard
knock at the door, and opening 1t
found four men confronting them,
three Of whom displayed revolvers.
They were unmasked and said that
they were revenue officers in search
of liquor They came in the house and
began search. Suspecting that they
were not what they pretended to be,
Mr.. Nelson dropped $50 which was all
the money in the house, down into a
crack in the stairway. Suddenly the
men threw off their pretext of look
ing for liquor and with otaths, de-
manded money. The occupants re-
fused. and with his, the robbers tied
the boy and the old lady and began to
beat and torture Mr.. Nelson. Finally
Miss West ordered Nelson to give them
the $50, and the men, disappointed be-
cause the amount was not larger, or
dered them to produce on threat Of
their lives. Miss West offered them a
check, but with foul oaths, this was
spurned. and finally being convinced
that there was no more money to be
had. they tied Nelson and sprinkled
kerosene around the floor, set fire to
it and left.
Nelson managed to extricate himself
sufficiently to extinguish the fire, and
alone saved them from terrible death
As 1t was the three Of them Were Sc
verely burned.
The family was so terrified by the
circumstances and the threats that the
incident was not reported to the au-
thorities. They believed that they rec
ognized in one of the men a former
employee of Miss West. The men came
in Ford car.
