FALL OFF IN SALE OF
 HAIR NETS CLAIMED

CHEFOO, China, Sept. 15.-Women in America and Europe are using fewer hairnets than heretofore, if the fall in the market here is a criterion The making of hairnets is one of Shantung's chief industries. More than 10000 persons are employed in 270 factories in weaving hair nets ob- tained from "pigtails" discarded by Chinese
 Since the Republic was established there has been surplus of hair be- cause many Chinese cut off their queues which the Manchus required to be worn as badges of subjugation. The black Chinese hair is easily dyed to various shades of brown, blonde, and brunette desired by western women. Recently the demand has fallen off and many hairnet makers are unem- ployed. About 70 factories were closed within week. The industry is de- scribed as unpromising. The Chinese merchants are wondering whether western women are no longer using nets because they are bobbing their hair or whether Europeans are becom- ing competitors in the trade.

BIRD COLONY
 ALLA-TWITTER
 OVER SCANDAL

YELLOWSTONE PARK, Sept. 15.- Excitement is rife in the wild animal community of the partk since the scan- dal about Mr Pelican received public attention. The ducks are quacking about it, the squirrels are chattering it and the bobcats are scattering it broadcast in their shrill voices.
 Throughout all the whispers and nudges of neighbors as he passes, MT. Pelican maintains his stately mien, seemingly unconscious of the jibes or the multitude. His actions would in dicate he still holds his valued place in the community.
 His trouble started with the charge by Prof. Henry B. Ward, head Of the department of zoology of the Univer- sity of Illinois, that he is trout "hag' and violator of all the tenats of good sportsmanship. Proof of these charges probably will mean that MT. Pelican will become an outcast with everyone's door closed to him and everyone's hand against him.
 Professor Ward is conducting an ex- haustive investigation for the Federal Bureau of Fisheries at Lake Yellow stone in Yellowstone National Park as to the relationship between the pelican and the trout supply. His in vestigation, which has been progress ing several weeks, will continue through the present season.
 The flock of pelicans that live ana breed on Lake Yellowstone numbers about 400. They summer artisto- cratically at the lake, feasting on the best the land affords from spring until September, then go to their winter resorts along the Gulf of Mexico. The bird diets almost exclusively on fish, and, so far as the Yellowstone and other Rocky Mountain lakes ana streams are concerned, this means exclusively on trout. He estimates that the 400 pelicans consume more trout than are taken during an entire season by sportsmen.
 The pelican is no respecter or size limits or open seasons, Professor Ward charges. He declared he had seen platoon of 36 pelicans ranged across stream in regular formation, prey ing on the trout as they swan up to spawn. Hitherto, the stream had yielded trout eggs by the millions but hatchery men this year could gather only a fraction of the normal amount.
 The fact is granted that MT Peli- cans home life is above reproach. He is a good provider, good husband and father and is strictly homogeneous. For the 400 birds in the Lake Flock, there are just 200 nests; one for each couple and one mate for each bird. There are no "triangles" in the Yel- lowstone "400."
 If further Investigations justify it, Professor Ward will ask the federal government to bar the pelicans as sum- mer visitors from the park.

IRISH LEADER IS HECKLED
 BY 'AMAZONS'


 of the troubles which were faced by Michael Collins, martyred leader in the Irish Provisional government, were the Irish Amazons.
 The exploits of militant women sympathizers with the Irish cause are not allowed to be sent out of Ire land in press dispatches, which come under a strict military censorship. Nevertheless, news of the ceaseless en- daaveFs Of young Irish women con- tinue to reach London.
 ATTACK MoUNTJoV JAIL Recent attacks upon Mount1oy jail, where the irregular prisoners are in carcerated, are said to have been in- stigated by women. The provisional government offices are continually be- sieged by women demanding all man. ner of concessions and asserting their rights as citizens of the Free State, and in the same breath denying the
 
 The Irish Amazons are conducting a constant heckling campaign, and no action is taken to restrain them. The authorities know that it would not be wise to make war upon women; much less would it be polite to jail them, hence these enthusiastic and heckling women, many of them girls barely out of their teens, continue these tactics. The Irish Amazons are not without their own convictions. They truly believe they are acting in the best in terests of Ireland when they strive to obstruct the Free State forces.
 RESIST BRITISH ALLEGIANCE
 eve would rather see Ireland wiped off the map than to have it continue under the British King!" one of these Irish Amazons told the writer not long ago in an interview in London. The young woman made this remark with all sincerity She was not wild eyed woman, instead she was timid girl, whose freckled face, sparkling blue eyes and softly-toned brogue belied the fact that she was of the Irish mili- tants. They may kill our men folk, but they can never kill the spirit of the Republic" said this Amazon. "We women are ready to die, because we have been betrayed. We feel that it would be better that there should be no Ireland than an Ireland under the dominion of Great Britain" PUT UP FALSE POSTERS A fair example of the heckling tac- tics of these Irish Amazons is the Gre cruiting posters" which have been plastered all over Dublin. Amazons paste these posters up faster than the Free State soldiers can tear them down. one of the posters given wide display, headed by reproduction Of the royal arms, is as follows: "YOUR KING AND COUNTRY CALL! "Rally once more to the colors. Remember the brave lads of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the many other Irish regiments who gallantly fought for the Empire l and helped to raise the Flag in Africa, Egypt and many of the battlefields of Europe. Read the
 names of many of your country
 men inscribed upon the Arch to
 the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, St.

 Empire is in danger; she needs
 your help. Join up at the nearest l recruiting station!
 "Signed) MICHAEL COLLINS, 1 Commander of the Forces in Ireland.
 "RICHARD MULCAHYc
 "OWEN DUFF.
 "GOD SAVE THE KING!"
 It is such tactics as these that make the Irish Amazons problem.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should HaVethe Best

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
tenn The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfill the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more par
ticularly to medicine. A medicinal
preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system, the remedy is
recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to re-
commend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
dey remedy has SO large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact, SO many people claim,
that it fu1fl1s almost every wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der ailments, corrects urinary trou-
bles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism. ~

Dix and the Finn set out for the AL
bert, Lecture remaining in the camp
with Chauvannes.
Chauvannes finished the journal,
which I finally decided as one might
say, at the Service de la Surete in
| Paris.
II have said that the only thing
indicating Chauvannes' condition be-
| fore the seventeenth of December,
when they came out on the old ele-
phant-track into this heavenly coun-
try below the Albert. was the fact
that he could not sleep and that the
bromides had failed him. But this
was not precisely all. The journal
began to indicate state of mind in
Chauvannes that he apparently hest
tated long time to record, the i'm
preston that they were approaching
some sort of creature Of which they
had very little, if any, dependable in
formation.
cat first Chauvannes put this down
as an illusion arising from the de-
preston of insomnia. But he began
to speak oft later as sort Of definite
premonition to be reckoned with.
"Of course, when the journal first
came into our possession, we took
this, and the incredible things that
followed, to be merely the illusions of
man whose nervous system had
broken down. This was a profound
error. Every statement following in
the journal was, as it proved. of the
most definite Importance. One got
here at this point in the. journal a
pretty clear conception of the con-
dition of Chauvannes at the time.
1.-THE three with him, whose care,
devotion and untiring solicitude, as
have said, the persistent note of this
latter part of Chauvannes' journal
were now very much concerned about
him. They seemd to understand the
danger, to himself, of one In such
mental statefi for they secured and
destroyed all. the ammunition to the
private weapons which Chauvannes
carried; they even broke the blades

realize. that homicidal seizure might
develop from such mental condition.
and they seemed to fear that II might
take the course of suicidal mania.
They were wholly without fear for
themselves, as chauvannes' journal
repeats over and over again.
1T Is here, now, at this point. that
the whole journal of Chauvannes' be-
gins v be taken up with the extra
ordinary things that he observed.
The Impression of some strange crea-
ture close on the camp. In the neigh
borhood, became on obsession.
IT was on the first night In the new
camp after they had emerged from
the forest that Chauvannes had a
sensation, as he puts 1t of something
delicately feeling over his face. It
seemed to be a very slight, moving
touch, as Of the tip of feather, but
It was clearly distinguishable. The
man put up his hand and made a
swift gesture In the darkness about
him. but there was absolutely nothing
that he could touch. He says that
this thing happened more than once
In the night, and each time, although
he put out his hand instantly, 1t came
In contact with no physical evidences
Of any creature about him.
THE thing occurred again the next
night. On this occasion Chauvannes
distinctly felt that swift. lingering
touch pass over his face; and again,
instantly, he clutched about him In
the dark, beating the whole place with
his arms In desperate effort to come
into some physical contact with the
creature. But 1t was wholly to no
purpose. He touched nothing. There
was no sound anywhere, and the men
sleeping about him in the tent were
not disturbed. He says that on the
following morning he mentioned this
thing again, but the three men with
him had no experience of 1t whatever
IF these creatures of which
Chauvannes had the strange pre-
monitory sense had finally appeared,
they seemed to be directing their at
tentions exclusively to him. AT any
rate, the men denied having been dis
turbed by anything. They had seen
nothing, felt nothing. But they were
disturbed about Chauvannes.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
. If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Both
ers You, Drink Lots of Water

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with mild, harmless salts
which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from it 500 grains
of acid and waste, so we can readily
understand the vital importance of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of WATERFOWL can't
drink too much: also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for few days and your kidneys
will 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 clogged kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids in urine
so it no longer is a source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithla- water drink which every
one should take noWesnd then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became Of your Kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.
