IF KIDNEYS ACT

Says Backsche VIten Means You
Have Been Eating Too
Much Meat.

When you wake up with back
ache and dun misery in the kidney
region it may mean you have been
eating too much meat, says we'll
known authority. An excess of meat
may form uric acid, which over
works 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, removing all
the body's urinOus waste, else you
have backache, 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 sedi-
ment, 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 ply
stefan at once or get from your phar
macist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in q
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys may 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 clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize acids in the urine so
that it no longer irritates, thus often
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vcscent lithia water drink. Drink

last several days. and who leaves
today for his home. stated yesterday,
on hearing that Mr.. PRIEST is plan
ing to visit his section, that there
is fine bar at Rampant House

delighted to receive the flier and do
all possible for him, and that the
news of his coming to that region
doubtless will be received with en-
thusiasm by all residents OF the
realm.
Mr.. Cadzow states that Mr. PRIEST
likely would have to make special
arrangements to get gasoline and oil
and any other supplies landed at
Herschel, Rampant House and Nc
Pherson. He says there would be
no trouble getting the supplies up
the Porcupine River from Fort Yn-
kon to Rampant House or points
above there on the Porcupine after
the first OF June, next spring. and
that his or other launches could
make the delivery from Fort Yukon
If the arrangements be made in good
season. AS to the supplies for Nc.

have to go down the Mackenzie by
steamer next Summer, and those for
Herschel by ocean-going vessel sail

Point Barrow The Hudson's Bay
Company has posts at Herschel and
Mcpherson, and dispatches ship to
Herschei and a steamer to McPher'

FEED THE BIRDS
Conservation Commission of Mary
lind Iacr,no An ArnnnI

Conservation Commission of Mary
land Issues An Appeal.
The following appeal to feed the
birds has been issued by the Conser-
walton Commission of Maryland, with
a request that it be given publicity:
AT this time of the year, previ-
Gus to severe cold weather or heavy
storms and SHOWS, it is always neces-
sary to call the attention of the pub
lie to the necessity of feeding the
birds. A State may do a great deal
in the way of restocking depleted COW
ers, but more can be gained by saving
what we have than by purchasing at
great expense large quantities of
birds. 1t is only necessary for farm
ers and sportsmen and bird lovers
to divert a little time and a small
amount of grain to save many birds
throughout the State of Maryland and
have large numbers of quail and
other valuable birds. A shelter pro-
vided for them to protect them from
the snow or a place scraped bare in
the snow and feed scattered thereon
will accomplish a great amount of
good and the Conservation Commits
sion of Maryland urgently requests
all those who are interested to do
what they can, if there is any cold
weather or snow during the coming
months, to save the birds.
"The following little verse has been
issued by Miss Gertrude Knevels.
secretary of the Forest Hills Carr
dens Audubon Society, as a Christ
mas card. 1t is passed on in this
manner so that you will help US feed
the birds:
How big your nest is, Neighbor Man,
How bountiful your fare,
While small birds in the wind and
snow
Are starving everywhere
Some scattered crumbs, little seed,
A drop of water, too,
And we will sing our gratitude,
Big Brother Man, to you.
Our birds are valuable-will you
help them, thereby benefitting your
selves?"

R. Leckemby and John l. Smith, chief
of police of Meyersdale, arrested Levi
Garlitz, who resides on farm near
Finzel, in this county, charged with
the manufacture and sale of Illicit

that for some time Garlitz has made
weekly trips to Meyersdale and near
by points. Saturday afternoon off
GERS Leckemby and Smith proceeded
out the state highway in the direction
of Sand Patch and succeeded in over
hauling him and found in his wagon
three gallons of moonshine besides
several bottles Of. the same stuff. He
was taken before Justice of the Peace
A. D. Floto at Meyersdale, who re-
leased him upon bail for his appear
ancc at the next session of the crimi-
nal court. The liquor was taken by

the rule of motion picture audiences
and with an almost empty house to
pick from, those on the main floor
had grouped themselves in the rows

to see well and the front and back

danger proved to be Just double. Few
Of those seated there could have es @

slabs and steel work of the roof miss
ed them the solid mass of the balcony
front came down on the first wreck
age with crushing weight. The gleam-
ing brass rail that adorned the bal
cony front lay spread over the wreck
age of roof Is feet below when res
cuers reached the scene.
Those farther back on the main
floor probably all escaped. The beams
that supported the back end of the
balcony did not let go their clutch on
the wall The wide sweep of seats
they supported tilted down until the
wreckage below took the weight off
the front and then stood covering the
back rows of the main floor like
tent
The front rows of the balcony were
ground to a twisted mass of ruin in
the fall. There was no wood in the
structure. It was all steel and con-
crete, but the enormous weight Of the
balcony was itself sufficient to wind
the tortured beams into fantastic
shapes.

when the steel and concrete span Of
the roof buckled and fell under its
three-foot load of snow will probably
never be known. The stories of per
haps hundred who got out unin.
iured have been reported. These ac-
count for a few more than 300 in the
audience that was roaring in laughter
at a filmed comedy when the roof
fell on them like a blanket, carrying
down the front of the wide balcony
in its crash
Normally the theatre has had every
seat filed at that hour, and nearly
1000 persons was its capacity. The
same unprecedented snowfall which
brought death to the venturesome
few kept the many at home. Street
car traffic had been abandoned and
streets and sidewalks were all but
impossible with drifts.
There has been no time as yet for
official inquiry as to the cause Of the
disaster. The ruins themselves dis
close, however, that the entire mass
of steel and concrete that formed the
roof had come down. The crash
swept the supports out from under
the balcony, apparently and this hing
ed down at an angle of As degrees,
adding to the tangled mass of wreck
age on the floor below.
The building stands in an acute an
gle corner of 18th street and Column
bia road northwest, the heart of the
most favored residential section of
the city. The narrow niche of the
stage on which the screen was hung
was backed into the corner angle,
while to the left of the stage the line
OF the auditorium wall runs in a di-
rect line for some 200 feet down 18th
street. To the right the wall follows
the slow curve of Columbia road for
about the same distance and at the
far end, paralleling the stage front,
the back wall completes the auditor
ium proper, also about 20 feet in
length.
This whole space stood roofless to
the sky moment after the first hiss.
ing sound of the breaking roof gave
warning above the music of the or
chestra. There is only one survivor
thus far who has told of having heard
that warning and seen the first DOW.

necessity of redeeming this pledge Of

DR.. II Arthur Cantwell, the Sena.

bill, said that fidelity to his constit-
uents compelled his attitude.
Several days ago the initiative for
putting through the greater repre-
sentation bills was shifted to the Sen

House were deemed a little too threat
ening and when it was deemed stra.

Of the example of the upper body.
The Senate bill was received by the
House. which had reconvened at 2:30,
shortly before o'clock. The bill was
referred to the Committee on Amend
