yea.-old Lucy Keegan came home
last night from a movie. She had
been aorking all day, and was tired.
Her mother sat bowed and silent
in an armchair. Her father, Pat
rick Keegan, was roaming about
the room, kicking the furniture, and
mumbling lngri1y.
Drunk again." said the girl to
herself, as she tried to slip by to
her room. The father intercepted
her. She escaped to her room with
a twisted wrist.
In her room, the girl locked the
door and crawled under the bed.
She had seen her father in similar
moods.
Just before daylight this morning
the house became quiet. Lucy
crawled out and went for a police
man.
Keegan was snoring heavily on
a coIch. His wife still sat silent
in her chair.
The policeman aroused him. Then
he shook Mrs. Keegan, bowed in
her chair. She didn't stir. A young
inferno, who arrived few minutes
later, said she had been dead for
hours. She had been killed By
blows on the head with the leg

Two Good Club Tricks
Major Herman now had two good

expect one more heart trick. These

feel out the spade situation and
take his only chance of making
game. He figured that Mr.. DenI-

king and queen of either hearts or

So Major Herman led the of

Idea for Preventing
Cellar Fire Spreading

That the nations fire loss still con-
tinues to grow at an alarming rate
is the substance of a recent report by
the National Board of Fire Under
writers in which it is pointed out
that the fire toll this year will again
be over one-half billion dollars,
It is said that mach of this fire
loss, particularly in the residence
field, could be avoided by the use of
noninflammable construction over the
cellar. It is estimated that 20 per
cent of the fires originating in dwell
ings start in the cellars, and the use
of a fire-proof slab of concrete in
place of the present construction of
combustible wood joists would confine
these fires to the cellar and prevent
their spread through the rest of the
house. Some builders are said to
figure the added cost as low as $3.50

Forty-Five Miles Found
Most Dangerous for Car

According to DR.. Eric Gardner Of
Weybridge, England, who has been
keeping record of automobile acct
dents for years, As miles an hour is
the most dangerous speed for motor
lists. When there is crash at 30
miles an hour the rider generally es-
capes with few bruises, the doctor
explains, his contention being that
this is due to the fact that the per-
sons body usually is thrown with such
force that it "skips," hits the ground
rather glancing blow and rolls more
or less. But If something happens
when travelling at 45 or so miles an
hour the victim generally is tossed in
such a manner that he often lands on
his head, suffering serious injuries or
death.

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form,
says a well-known authority, because
the acids created excite the kidneys.
Then they become overworked, get
sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts
of distress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region, rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri-
tation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots Of
good water and also get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; 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, combined with lithia, and has
been used for years to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to activ-
fly; also to neutralize the acids in
the system so that they no longer
