Drink Water
If Back or
Kidneys Hurt
Begin Taking Salts II You Feel
Backachy or Have Bladder
Weakness

Too much rich food forms acids which
excite and overwork the kidneys in
their efforts to filter it from the system.
Flush the kidneys occasionally to re-
lieve them like you relieve the bowels,
removing acids, waste and poison, else
you may feel dull misery III the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, the stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, the channels often get irri-
tated, obliging one to get up two or
three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body's urinoGs
waste, begin drinking water. Also get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy, take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine and bladder disorders disappear,
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 clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irri-
tation. lad Salts is inexpensive and
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to help pre-
vent serious kidney and bladder dis
orders. y
Bv all means, drink lots of good water
every day. Have your physician exam
inc your kidneys at least twice a year.

RARE BEES FOUND
In PANAMA ZONE
MAKE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
HONEY, SOME OF WHICH
IS POISONOUS.

DIR. Frank Z. Lutz, Curator OF the
Department of Entomology of the
American Museum of Natural History,
has returned from an extended trip to
the canal zone, where he had been
studying the insects of Panama, espe-
cially the native bees. He found rare
specimens which do not sting, but
eject a fluid which severely burns the
human skin The honey is produced
in cells the size OF large grapes.
A large part OF the time was spent
by DR.. Lutz on Barra Colorado Is
land, the largest one in Gatum lake,
which contains about twelve square
miles of dense and absolutely primitive
tropical Jungle. The only portion of
the island showing the advance of civ
ilization is found along one shore,
where several small farms have made
clearance Of the jungle for agrlcul-
ture. In telling Of his fourteen months
trip Dr. Lutz said:
On addition to making a general
collection of Panama insects and
those bees which do not live in colo
MES, | brought several nests OF
native bees. These latter live in col
onies, each colony having queen
and many workers, similar to the Ash
attic honey bee, which has been do
mesticated for our use. Honey is
stored by these bees in special cells
about the size of grapes. A goodly
store is often found in the nest and
in some cases possesses a tlne flavor
This, however depends on the bee that
made it. Some of the honey was
rather tasteless, some too acid and
some of it was actually poisonous.
"In making nests the bees usually
choose a hollow tree, the walls OF
houses or even holes in the ground
Again, others build large hanging
nests not unlike those of the white and
black hornet of our northern woods,
and still others take possession OF the
large nests made in trees by white
ants
zone of the hanging nests I brought
back was built about the twig OF a
tree like a hornets nets and similar
to it in shape, but quite unlike
it in color, the Panama bees nest be-.
ing of rich. dark brown instead OF
the putty color familiar to us in the
hornets nest. The bees themselves
are smaller than the common house
fly and have prominent gauzy wings.
One nest discovered contained about
$4,000 bees and, although they do not
sting, yet a thousand or so of these
bees covering your face hands and
even crawling inside your clothing,
each more or less gently biting, is
rather uncomfortable"

WHEAT JUMPS ON HUGE BUYING Scars To Nearly 9 Cents Above Prices Of
 Monday

CHICAGO, June 11.-Wheat scared today to nearly Sc bushel higher prices than were touched Monday, before the United States government crop report was issued. The fresh advance today appeared to be largely a result of huge buying that developed after one of the leading authorities in the grain trade had expressed decided bullish views re- garding world supplies of bread mate rial. Wheat closed unsettled, 2 to 25sc net higher. July, $1.10% @1.101a, and September, SLIPS @1.121a, with corn showing to 1Ac decline, oats un- changed to 1sc up and provisions 10 to 22c down.
 On today's advance, September and December deliveries of wheat overtopped the seasons previous high price record but the extreme gains failed to hold, heavy profit taking sales leading to reaction of about 1 to 11ac at the fin ish. Although the market showed an upward tendency during the first part of the day, the big upward swing came only after it became generally known that the president of the chief elevator interest in Chicago had gone on record as predicting that under present con- ditions farmers would be able to put wheat and rye values very high and that northern hemisphere crop short age existed the world over.
 Further impetus to the upward move ment of the wheat market was afforded by unofficial estimates indicating a re- duction of 5.9 percent in the acreage of the Canadian northwest, with a condi- tion of 8S.6 against 95.7 last year, sug- gesting yield of 275,000,OOO to 325,- 100000 bushels compared with 450,OOO,- 900 bushels harvested last year. No tice was also taken of better milling demand.
 Warmer weather eased the corn mar ket and held down oats. Temporarily, however, December corn and July and December oats sold at new high records.
 Provisions declined owing to sympa- thy with hog values.

GRAIN LETTER

CHICAGO, June 11.-Wheat: Broad outside commission-house buying ad- vanced prices beyond those of yester- day. Profit-tal1ing sales were quickly taken by new general buying. Decem- Der again made a new high for the sea- son on the option. Our prices are not far from an export basis. After months of dullness, the market seems at last to be pulled out of the rut. Temporary recessions may be expected, but further advances are predicted. There<1s an active milling demand for cash wheat.
 Corn: Better weather forecast brought out scattered selling orders, but offer ings were quickly accepted on the de- clines and some further advances were scored. The argument for lower prices has been the reduced supply of live stock and consequent reduced feed re- quirements. But present conditions of the planted corn crop forecasts greater corn reduction than the reduction in live stock.
 Oats: The market was active and higher with other grains. Cash did not follow the advance in futures as corn did. Minneapolis reports small stocks and strong situation in that market H. and B. Beer to J. F. Willingham 6 Go,

COTTON RISES
 A TO49 POINTS Reaction From Early Ad-
 vances Are Followed E, By Rally

NEW YORK, June 11.-(By .Assol ciated Press. )-Favorable weather re- ports caused reactions from. an early advance in cotton today, but !srices ral- lied again on expectations of low mid month crop condition figures and in sympathy with the better tone of the stock market. After selling off from 25.89 to 25.66, October advanced to 26.14 and closed at 26.03. The final tone of the market was steady. at net advance of 34 to 43 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 9 points and showed net gains of 25 to 29 points on rumors that a private authority made the mid-month conditions 63.4 pointing to crop of only 10,460,000 bales. This bulge met good deal of realizing promoted by a favorable weekly report from the wealth CT bureau and a fairly satisfactory weather map. There were reactions in consequence, led by July, but the mar ket rallied in the afternoon on renewed covering and Wall street buying. July sold up from 27.85 to 2S.33 and Decem- Der from 24.94 to 25.3S.
 The close was within , or 10 points of the best.
 Exports today S.936 making 5,41S,- 569 bales so far this season. Port re- ceipts 5,044. U. S. port stocks 347,- 312.

CURB REACHES HIGHER GROUND. Prices Rise In Sympathy With Advance On
 Big Board

NEW YORK, June 11.-Stock prices moved into higher ground on today's curb market in sympathy with the brisk advance on the "big board" Except for point drop in Prairie Oil and Gas which closed at 221, all of the active oil shares showed small net gains on the day, ignoring a 15-cent reduction in Smackover crude prices. Standard oils of Indiana, Kansas, and Kentucky and Ohio oil each closed about a point higher. tl
 Strength and activity of the radio stocks was the feature of the indus trial list although some good gains were recorded in the public utility group. Commonwealth power stood out with a gain of one point. Ford Motors of Canada dropped four points on a few odd lot transactions and Gillette Safety Razor moved up three points.
 Trading in the bond list was more active with good demand developing for the high grade public utility is- sues.

STOCKS DEVELOP <. MUCH STRENGTH
Two Dozen Issues Estab-
 fish New Highs For The Year

NEW YORK, June 11.-Prices developed impressiue strength in to- days session of the stock market, one of the most active in recent weeks. Two dozen stocks established new high records for the year, including Union Pacific, Atehison, Texas and Pacific, Pere Marquette, Pittsburg and West Virginia, International Paper and Mis- souri Pacific common and preferred.
 Bullish sentiment was created by the continuance of easy money rates, the more optimistic tenor of the weekly steel trade reviews and indications that the republican platform would con tain blanks favorable otS business.
 The reduction in the local federal reserve rediscount rate from to; 3h per cent was not announced until after the market closed. While the main pur- pose of the change undoubtedly was to bring the bank rate more in line with the open market rates, local bank CTS pointed out that it. also places New York in a better position to com~ pet,s with London for several of the international loans now pending.
 United States Steel common, gen. orally regarded as the market leader, closed more than point higher at 961ss. General Electric and American Can each closed more than three points higher, while net gains of 1 to PA were recorded by such widely divers flied issues as American Sugar, Amer ican Woolen, Baldwin Locomotive, Du- popt, Marland Oil, Tobacco Products, Studebaker and United States Indus trial alcohol
 Buying of large blocks of stocks. presumably for the account of large fi- nancial interests, alarmed. the short in- terests, whose covering operations fur nished impetus to the advance, Brokers also reported that several pools were operating, particularly in the low priced rail and industrial speciaiities.
 Oil shares apparently paid no at. tention to the 15-cent a barrel reduc- tion in Smackoyer crude oil. Though the advance in these shares was not as extensive as it was in other indus trial groups, gains of point or so were quite common at the close. The. ad- vance, while practically general was most marked in the steels, public util- ities, motors and toboccos with sugar and copper stocks trailing behind be- ca1se of lower commodity prices.
 Ca1l money held at 2 per cent all day. Time funds were available up to 90 days at 31a per cent the lowest in several years while 4 and months maturities were quoted at 3% and the longer accommoda tions at 4. Bank &C., ceptancet dealers reduced rates A on all maturities up to 120 days, bringing them to record low levels.
 A brisk rally in Frencth exchange predicated on the belief that the resig- nation of President Millerand of France would hasten the acceptance, of the Dawes report, was the feature of the t foreign 5 exchange mar market; so The Paris is around $40 cents with ayslightly small CT. gain being recorded by the Belgian currency which is now quoted slightly above Az cents.

FoREIeN BONDS

on in the morning, Julys turned rather easy again, and the difference between that month and October narrowed further. It seems to us, as we have said before, that the speculative interest on the long side in July was rather large, and that these holders have been liquidating steadily for the past two or three weeks, simply because July did not do)what was expected of it. Every one expected July to go to very handsome premium over october, but owing to the slackness of trade and business in general the demand did not materialize, and consequently liquida- tion took place. This puts July in a healthier position, and we still feel that July will recover some of its losses, if not all, before it is taken off the board. The market appears to be dis counting low private condition reports and this afternoon found the local crowd short, and there was a moderate amount of covering, which put October well above 26c. We think the market has discounted the favorable weather, and on the first signs of unsettlement 1t would be likely to have a sharp up- turn-Hubbard Bros & Co.
