BANK ROBBERS CARRY
LOOT in TEDDY BEAR

BERLIN, July tR1.-A teddy bear
stuffed with 100000 Polish zloty, or
about $4,000, was the means repeated
ly employed by trio of bank robbers
to smuggle 100000 stolen zloty from
Poland into Germany.
When q man stepped up to the CASH
ier's cage of the Disconto bank at
F'rankfort-on- Main recently with the
request to change 100000 zloty into
German marks, the large amount made
the cashier suspicious. The bank COM
municated with its Breslau branch
and was told that the bank notes we're
0. K, but attention was called to q
bank robbery recently committed at
Krolewska Huta.
Investigation led to the arrest of a
postal clerk, Karl Kessler, who had a
key to the strong room of bank at
Krolewska Huta. He confessed to hay
ing hidden the money with pal, Gott-
fried Clesslik, who gave it to his wife
for safe Keeping. The same night both
men skipped across the frontier A
few days later Mrs. Clesslik stuffed
as many ofNthe stolen zloty as she could
into a teddy bear which she gave her
little girl to carry and so also got
across the border without hitch she
repeated this trick number III times
until the entire 100000 zloty were
safely in Germany.

FIND MINERAL DEPOSITS
In UPPER RHINE BASIN

BERLIN, July R).-Mineral depos-
its OF considerable value have been
found in the upper region of the
Rhine basin in Baden. The state
board of mines, publishing the re-
suits of two years Of indefatigable
prospecting in this area, reports that
in the Waldkirch district at the out
let of the Elz valley, lead copper,
-arsenite and sulphurous ores were
found in such quantities and to such
depth as to warrant the government
in claiming possession. At two other
points the existence Of brown iron-ore,
or hematite, was also established.
These mineral deposits, extending
from the mountainous Black Forest
far into the plain, the government Of
Baden is now planning to exploit on
a large scale, especially for sulphur,

CLEAN KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING
LOTS OF WATER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may
produce kidney trouble in some
form, says a well-known authority,
because the acids created excite the
kidneys. Then they become over
worked, get sluggish, clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particu-
larly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges,
severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleepless-
ness, bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys 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 table
spoonful 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity; also
to neutralize the acids in the sys-
tenn so that they no longer irritate,
thus often relieving bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent IL
thia-water drink which millions Of
men and women take now and then
to help keep the kidneys and uri-
nary organs clean, thus often avoid
ing serious kidney disorders.-Ad-
vertisement.

Delegates to conventions in In

WEEKLY REVIEW
OF N. Y. MARKET
SHOWS ADVANCE

NEW YORK, Sept. II QP-A sensa-
tional advance in high priced indus
trial stocks, which carried the general
industrial average to a record high
level for all time, and a wide open
break in cotton on publication Of an
official forecast of lower prices, were
the chief contrasting features in a
series of interesting financial n d
commodity markets this week.
Money rates turned easier after the
temporary stiffening incidental to the
heavy mid-month turnover of funds
in connection with U. S. government
financing, income tax payments and
dividend disbursements. Bond prices
held fairly steady, with the weeks
new offerings of $21O,OOO,OOO setting a
new high mark since early June. Ster-
ling exchange mounted Lc new nigh
level for the year in reflection OF the
heavy export of capital to Londor,
where higher interest rates are avail
able.

easing of call money rates towards the
close OF the week, were again active
in marking up a number of industrial
specialties The rapidity of the recent
advance, however, was believed IN
many quarters to have weakened the
technical position of the market, with
the result that there was rather heavy
profit taking and short sell1n
throughout the session, particularly at
lthe close.
New peak prices for the year, or
longer, we're registered by Best and
company, Calumet and Arizona, Con-
solidated Gas, Dunhill international,
DUPONT, Fisk Rubber first preferred,
Goodyear, Greene Cananea, Gimbel
Bros. julius Kayser, National Cash
Register, Peoples Gas and Texas Gulf
Sulphur. Dupont and the Fisk issue,
however, closed under yesterdays final
figures.
On the other hand, selling pressure
sure was quite effective against such
issues as Commercial Solvents, Con-
tinental Insurance, Woolworth and
Studebaker.
! The further advance in sterling to
within 1-32 of parity at $4.86 1882
overshadowed all the developments in

around 46.63 cents.
