Johann's father had dropped the
charges against his daughter and
her husband as well as his civil
suit. The prosecution confirmed
the news.

not thought it necessary to APP
pear in court. The magistrate held
that he could not release them
until they did, so he technically
forfeited their bond Of 81 900. The
clerk was instructed that II they
appeared before the close OF the
next days session the money was
to be returned to them.

SAVES COMRADES LIFE,
BUT LOSES HIS LIBERTY

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Four of
six immigrants who jumped from a
pier on Ellis Island and struck out
for the Jersey shore made good
their escape. John Ferra, an
italian, one of the two captured,
risked his life and forfeited his
liberty to save Nicholas Merniciel,
a Russian, from drowning.
Ferra dived several times before
bringing Merniciel, who had gone
down when seized with cramps, to
the surface. After half an hours
struggle the Italian landed the Rus
sian on a Jersey pier and then
collapsed. Just as he recovered
consciousness two guards rushed
up and arrested both men.

Ways for Using Hammer
in Making Car Repairs

Care in the use of the machinist's
hammer, which forms part of the
tool equipment Of every automobile, is
one of the first things the amateur au-
tomobile repairman must learn when
working around the engine, says
writer in the American Motorist. With
this hammer he can do more damage
In a moment than a good man can re-
pair in q week. His first inclination
Is to use this form of persuasion on
any and every refractory part, and
this is desire which should be over
come.
Not only should the hammer itself
not be used on any metal parts with
out the Intervention of block Of
wood to protect the surface, but care
must be exercised to avoid hitting the
other parts through the inaccuracy Of
aim that distinguishes the unskilled
wielder Of this tool.
A poorly-aimed blow that misses its
target and lands on one of the valve
push rods or similarly vulnerable parts
with any degree Of force is apt to
cause trouble Of an expensive nature.
1t is a good thing for the novice to
be sparing In the use of his hammer
as a cure-all. Do not resort to it I'M
necessarily, and do not use a sledge-
hammer blow where light tap will
do the work.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Hive the Best
Or. KiImsrs Swamp Root

Have you ever STOPPED to reason why
It is that 30 many pbducts that are ex-
tensively advertised al at once drop out
Of sight and are son forgotten? The
reason is plain-the fticle did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almostlsells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by thole who have been
benefited to those whdare in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmerb Swamp Root, q
preparation have sod for many years
and never hesitate toIrecommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large q
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root Is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulfills almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments corrects urinary
troubles and neutrahtes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by parcel post. Address DR..

on edge on all sides of the square so
that the top is just level with the fin
ished pavement The squares are
filled in checkerboard fashion, that is
in alternate sections, so that it is pos
sible to work around on all sides Of
the square in finishing it. 1t Is then
unnecessary to use forms for all sides
of the last squares to be placed, as the
blocks help to serve as forms.
The concrete should be mixed in
the proportions of one part portland
cement to two parts of clean sand and
three parts of crushed stone or clean,
screened pebbles. The ingredients
should be mixed thoroughly and only
enough water used to make quaky
or jelly-like mass. Too much water
tends to weaken the concrete. If mix
ing is done by hand care should be
used to see that 1t is thorough, so that
all particles receive an even coating
Of cement.
Surface Should Be Smooth.
AS soon as the concrete is in place
it should be struck off even with the
tops of the forms or side pieces by
working straight-edged board back
and forth with a zigzag motion as it
is worked across the surface. The
surface should then be smoothed down
with wooden float. q. long wooden
trowel, which is worked over the sur
face with a circular rubbing motion.
It is not best to use metal trowel
too much as the finish produced by
the wooden float is more satisfactory
for such surfaces. Only enough trow-
cling should be done to produce a
smooth surface.
AS soon as the concrete has hard
ened it should be covered with loose
dirt or sand so that 1t can be kept
moist for period of week or ten
days. The curing Is important, as, II
makes sure that the surface is hard
and durable and If the concrete is
properly mixed, placed and kept moist
in this manner, it will wear like the
