TWO Engines and Double PropeIiers
Permit Repairs in Air.

Two Engines and Double Propeiiers
Permit Repairs in Air.
A giant new all-steel airplane, con-
structed by Messrs. Boulton and Paul,
Norwich, is the biggest all-steel air
plane yet built, and has many new
features.
The machine has two Independent
power plants, each of which Is central
ly situated in an engine room, and
II under the control Of an engineer.
The water apd petrol systems are
duplicated and arrangements have
been made and a suficiency Of power
supplied for the machine to fly on
either engine.
The front engine drives a pair Of
two-blade propellers, and the rear en-
CINE a smaller pair located behind the
former. All such minor repairs as are
normally the cause of engine break
down can be dealt with in the air.
Another innovation is an engine
silencer, and a feature is that the
only wood in the machine is that used
in the propeller and tractors. The ma
chine has a span of 10 feet and weighs
five and one-half tons. The engines are

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS.
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
by Drinking Quarts of
Good Wafer.

No man or woman can make a mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority.
Too much rich food creates acids
which clog the kidney pores so that
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood. Then you get sick. Rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
~vousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleep1essness, bladder disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular Of passage, or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,
begin to drink soft water in quanti-
ties; also get about foul ounces of
lac Salts from any reliable phar-
macy n take a tablespoonful in a
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, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush clogged kid
neyS and stimulate them to activity,
also to help neutralize the acids in
the system so they no longer cause
irritation, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.

kidney complications. By all means

army at Cobienz with $4,000 of the
regiment funds. He lived well for
some time thereafter at Dusseldorf,

Later he was taken in custody by
the local police at Freiburg on sus-
picion of having beer a witness to a
murder. This time, perhaps because
his bankroll was now used up, the Ger

the American authorities. He was
brought to the United States for trial,
escaped from Camp Taylor, was re-
arrested after a year and sent to Fort

BANDITS HOLD UP
OWNER AND ROB SAFE
STEAL $4,000 AND DIAMOND
FROM OWNERS SHIRT NEAR
ATLANTA POLICE STATION.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Almost within the
shadow of the Atlanta police station
diamonds, jewelry and money valued
at more than $4,000 we're stolen from
Thomas F. Stocks, of the Stocks Coal
Company, shortly before O'Clock on
Thursday evening by two masked, UNI
identified bandits both of whom were
armed with pistols.
Mr.. Stocks told the officers that the
bandits walked leisurely into his Of
flee and ordered two tons OF coal de-
livered to A. D. J. Griffin, 700 North
Boulevard, saying they wished to pay
cash for it and asking that he make
out his bill.
Mr.. Stocks sat down at his desk
and wrote out the delivery ticket
showing the cost and turned around
to find himself facing two pistols, one
in the hand of each of the robbers.
Calmly he was commanded to raise
his hands and keep his mouth shut. "
One of the robbers then busted
himself with rihing the safe, the door
of which was already open. Upon
opening the money drawer he found
a number of checks made payable to
the Stocks Coal Company, which he
cast to one side, taking only the cur
rency and silver money the box con-
tanned.
He then took the large diamond
stud pin in Mr.. Stocks shirt, his
watch and chain from his pocket and
searched each pocket, taking all the
money on his person and leaving let
ters, notes and other valuables by
which they could be traced.
