If Kidneys Act
Bad Take Salts
Says Backache Often Means You
Have Not Been Drinking
Enough Water

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it may
mean you have been eating foods which
create acids, says a well-known author
ity. An excess of such acids overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kid
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels, removing ali 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
sediment, 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 physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for 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 years to
help clean and stimulate sluggish kid
news, also to neutralize acids in the
system, so they no longer irritate, thus
often relieving bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive, can not in
lure and makes delightful, etferves.
cent lithia water drink. Drink lots OF
soft water. By all means have your
physician examine your kidneys. at least
twice year.

nadoes occurred that year. resulting
in $l444S,000 property damage.
The true tornado is described by
the weather bureau as follows;
"A tornado is a violent local storm
in connection with which is usually
noted we'll defined, pendant, funnel
shaped cloud, with attendant rotary
winds, often of sufficient violence to
PROSTATE buildings and uproot trees
and leaving unmistakable evidence"
Since completing the eight-year
study the worst tornado the weather
bureau has ever experienced and prob
ably the worst in the history OF the
country occurred March Is, 1925. The
bureau Immediately supplemented its
reports with data on the later storm,
Alfred J. Henry making the study.
1t appears that this disastrous tor
nado must also be marked up on Ar
kansas score for while it originally
was an offshoot OF a Pacific coast
storm the area of pressure immedi-
ately preceding the storm was center
ed in Arkansas. Actually the weather
bureau divides up the disturbance into
seven tornadoes, all the children OF the
abnormal atmospheric conditions.
Mica Minute Travel.
The seven storms affected the states
of Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
with edges of it touching Mississippi
and Alabama. The total number OF
killed was 1872, by far a record Tor any
tornado or even for any single year.
OF this number 742 were killed by
the major tornado which swept Illi-
nois and Indiana. The offshoot which
tore down into Tennessee killed SO.
Those injured in the whole series num-
bered 1898, of which 2,771 were in
jured in the Illinois Indiana storm. A
total property loss of $l7,872,000 is re-
ported by the weather bureau of which
$16, $4,000 occurred in the northern
storm.
The bureau has collected many in
teresting statements from eyewitness
es of this vast CONFUSION of nature.
The general testimony seems to be
that the principal whirling clouds trav-
eled at a rate of approximately mile
minute and a chief reason given for
the heavy loss of life is the lack of
time allowed people even after they
had seen the oncoming spiral, whirling
cloud to seek shelter. Strange stories
are on file of freakish deaths and mar
row escapes.

A STUDY OF THE TORNADO
SHOWS A TREMENDOUS LOSS

tornadoes, but Alabama stands third
Tor the eight-year period in number
OF deaths due to them, with a toll of
1870. Texas comes fourth with l52.
Other states standing high in fatalities
are Illinois, with l49; Oklahoma with
IA; Indiana with l3l, and Missouri
with l23. All big wind storms are not
tornadoes. Sheer wind alone has taken
a big, toll of life. Eight hundred and
twenty-one persons lost their lives as
the result OF high winds in the eight
year period, 30l of them in Texas
New York standing second with 81,
and Michigan third with As. Other
states stand well down the list.
Tornadoes are not evenly distribut-
ed over the eight-year period; they
do not come regularly, about an aver
age number each year. Arkansas had
81 of her total of 70 tornadoes in 1916;
Missouri had 80 of her 81 tornadoes
in l9l7-nearly half Of an eight years
experience crowded into a single year.
Eighteen of Kansas 90 tornadoes oc-
Cured in 1923. In 1921 Texas had II
OF her 68 tornadoes The highest num-
Der for a single year out of the eight
year period is given in each case.
For the total time covered by the
study it is shown that 754 tornadoes
took toll of 1917 lives, while wind
storms for the same period killed 82l
persons The most deadly year for
the whole country was 1917, when sos
persons were killed, more than one
fourth of those killed in the entire
period.
100000 Property Loss.
Property losses from tornadoes have
aggregated in excess OF 100000
for the eight-year period. The most
costly year was 1920, with $1,205000,
but 1917, the year costing the most
lives, shows only slightly less damage,
the two years together having brought
about half the damage for the whole
period.
Tornado records go back in gen
eral way beyond 1916 where the in
tense study begins and shows even
greater loss OF life. For instance the
year 1896 caused $40 deaths, 800 OF
them in one storm. Twenty-four tor

CENSUS BUREAU FINDS
DIVORCES INCREASING
COMPILATION OF STATISTICS
ALSO SHOW A HEAVY DROP
IN NUMBER OF MARRIAGES.

The census bureau is investigating
with a view to showing the number OF
divorces compared with marriages in
the United States. Reports on states
thus far show decided falling off in
marriages and increase in divorces.
The number of marriages in Utah
in 1928 were 5,667, compared with S.
POS in 1924; in the District Of Column
bia $3.50 in 1928, against 1888 in
1924; in Virginia 23,ll0 against 2l,-
S37; Wyoming 2,204, against 2,l70;
North Dakota 1000, against 3,707. In
all of these states except North Da-
kota and Utah divorces were more
numerous in 1924 than in 1923.

Hundreds of Lives and Property
Worth Millions of Dollars Are

For States Most Affected.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The tor
,,d, that vicious phenomenon Of the
.-,+h of the elements, has been the
,,biert of special study, completed
Nv the United States weather bureau.
Herbert c. Hunter, one of the bu-
--r's experts, attached to the Wash
saton headquarters, has made some
f@5res showing how deadly such
Fms have been in the United States
From the earliest times OF which we
t,.,. record mankind has shown re-

The weather bureaus new study
covers an eight-year range. The years
lQ16 to 1928 have been especially stud
led and statistical data compiled from
tbe reports, gathered from every sec
tion of the country, covering the vari-
Gus storms.

nation" 1t is possible for a storm to
start in one state and not develop in
to an actual tornado until it has cross
ed state line. Arkansas leads in the
number of tornadoes which actually
occurred within its boundaries. Sew
enty-six in the eight-year period have
been charted. The state also leads with
the number originating-74
Second on the list comes Kansas,

These figures would point very
strongly to the TACT that the lower
Mississippi valley is the home Of the
tornado. Arkansas has the Ozark
mountains, and abrupt weather chang
es frequently are found in mountain
Gus regions, but Kansas and Texas
are chiefly plains states. The fiat ma
ture of the country probably permits
blowing winds to get up momentum
which becomes a tornado.
Tornado Fatalities.
For the eight-year period under eX-
animation Mississippi, although down
the list in occurrences and origina-
tons, shows the highest death toll
with PSI. This may be accounted for
to some extent by the type OF the
population. Mississippi has a very
large negro population living princl-
paliy in small cabins, many OF which
are not very substantial. Also, they
dwell together in large and crowded
families. Loss of life, therefore, would
probably be greater i'll the face OF a
tornado than in the more solidly built
farm houses Of some other states.
Arkansas stands next in tornado ia
taiity, with 231 lives lost in the eight
year period.

TRAINED MEN EMPLOYED
TO TAKE BIRD CENSUS

In all civilized countries where game
is being protected there are trained
men to take the census of various birds
and other protected wild game. In
the United States and Canada the pre-
serve wardens do the work with the
aid of competent helpers. The task is
a patience trying one. In Europe the
count is actual, just as when human
estimate is taken, but in the United
States it IS largely by estimate. In
this way reliable figures are obtained,
as for instance the statement that in
Peru may be found 100000 llamas.

NEW YORK. Aug. 22.-Hundreds
of mortified pedestrians and occupants

today watched the death leap of an
attractive young woman from the
parapet to the macadam speedway, 20

The girl was identified rs Mrs.
Anna Waterbury.
Shouts of warning failed to deter
the slim figure, poised upon the para
pet from the suicidal impulse thar
caused her to pull her tight skirt above
her knees and dive into space.
The body turned over once, twice
grazed a big truck, then crashed to
the road, in front of an automobile.
Every bone in the slender. charm
ingly clad young body was broken by
the impact. The lips moved for mo-
ment in unintelligible explanation.
