CRIMINAL CASES.
A. A. Spaulding Was Found Not
Guilty

The case calling out the most. in
terest this week was that of Josie B.
Clingerman VS.. A. A. Spaulding. The
complaining witness charged Mn.
Spaulding, a business man Of this
city, with a criminal Offense, fixing
the date as July 5, 1892, and alleged
that he was the father of her child,
born June 25, 1898.
Testimony was admitted proving
that on July s., 1892, the doors Of
Spaulding's store were off their
hinges all day and that three other
persons assisted him on that day in
attending to the demands Of custom
ers, it being circus day and the city
at that hour, just before the parade,
being full Of people. The defense
offered to prove intimacy Of the
prosecuting witness with another
person Of considerable prominence at
the very time she accused S~paulding
Of improper relations with her, but
the testimony was stricken out.
The jury was out but a few min
Utes and acquitted Mr.. Spaulding by
a unanimous vote.

Drugs Excite
the Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take Salts at First Sign Of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble
because we often eat too much rich food.
Our blood is filled with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken
from Overwork, become sluggish, the
eliminative tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
OWhen your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots Of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts. 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 jUace, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate clOgged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the
system Sc they no longer are a source
of irritation, thus often rellevlng%blad
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not In

home, because nobody can make a mis-
take BY having a good kidney flushing
any time. By all means have,your- ply
sician examine your kidneys at leas

CANADA,s WHEAT CROP.

OTTAWA, Ont.-With harvesting
operations well under way in the
Prairie provinces, the preliminary es-
inmate Of the wheat yield issued by
the bureau Of statistics this year is
expected to amount to 348, $4,000
bushels. This compares with the
final estimate of 411,376,OOO bushels
last year. While these figures are
lower than for 1925, it is likely that
the final returns will show a yield
considerably larger, as the first crop

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Before money can be invested 1t
must be saved. Perhaps. then. 1ew
words about systematic plans for say.
ing will not be amiss at this stage OF
our series Of articles on investment
principles. 1t Is comparatively easy
when one has a large income 10 nno
some surplus for investment, OUT
when, as with most of US, outgo just
about balances income 1t is not SO
simple regularly to set ASIDE some
thing for investment.
Many schemes have been devised
to aid along this line and among them
the custom of buying securities on
the installment plan. Somehow or
other 1t is not so hard to save money
regularly when there Is sort or
compulsion about it. That Ia one ad-
vantage of the building and loan plan.
You have to pay your dues at the
agreed upon time or become suDJect
to q fine. It is the same way with
life insurance. The premium must pc
met when it falls due, and often N1e
insurance is regarded as a method OF
saving simply because OF this neces-
Sity for regular payments.
So it has come about naturally tnat
a similar method is adopted with re-
gard to securities. There are. how
ever. certain precautions to be ob-
served in the buying or SlOckS VI
bonds on the installment plan Whlch
do not apply to life insurance or the
building and loan association. In the
first place, one must be sure about
the standing of the broker or the
house of which it is intended to buy
in installments. You do not come
into possession Of the securities until
all the payments are met. Meanwhile
you rely absolutely on the integrity
of the house with which you are deal
ing.
In the second place. only conserva-
tive securities should be purchased in
this way. In no event should specu-
lative or semi-speculative stocks be
bought on installments. There is too
much danger of a, reaction in the mar
ket valuation of the security you are
buying to make it safe to employ
this plan for anything that verges
upon the speculative. Another i'm
portant consideration is the matter of
the interest charge on the unpaid bal
ance. That ought not to be above
the prevailing market rate and it is
desirable that it be not above the rate
that the stock or bond being purchased
itself pays.

COTTON REPORT
SHOWS BIG GAIN
Increase of $4,000 Bales
Over Forecast indicated by
Government Report.


A gain Of 253.000 bales in the pro.
spect1ve cotton crop this year as COM
pared with forecast made a. fort
night ago was shown today in the
Government semi-monthly cotton re-
port, which placed indicated produc-
ton at 1881 900 bales of 500 pounds
gross.
The condition Of the crop declined
from 70.7 per cent of a normal to
69.S per cent between July Is and
August /. but as the decline was less
than usual the indicated production
showed an increase over that forecast
July 16.
The improvement in prospects oc-
CURED chiefly during the last week in
July and was due largely to the fact
that the number of leaf hoppers de-
creased and the cotton began squar-
ing and blooming much more freely,
the crop reporting board announced.
"At this time the crop is in a
critical stage of it's development
the board said, land fruiting will be
materially affected by weather con-
ditions during the next month to
six weeks. Almost everywhere
throughout the cotton belt the crop
is reported as being from a week to
10 days late, so that it will need
ample time in the Fall for maturing.
There is menace of material damage
by the boil weevil should rainy
weather come during the remainder
Of the season.
