one had moved it.
After the prisoners fall, county
commissioners ordered that no
more than eight persons, including
the operator, could board the
device at once.
Years ago the elevator was at
the west end of the building, but
old-timers declare the change in
location didn't aid much.
The ancient carriage works the

When the new elevators are in

courthouse purists that the old,
familiar sign, spelled just like this,
Elevator not running" will be
thrown away.

A bright and hopeful future at
the Courthouse is beginning to re-
place dim and distant past as
far as elevator service is concerned.
Today the structure for one of
the two new high speed elevators
being erected by the Warner
Elevator Company is nearing COM
pletion and as soon as it begins to
operate, the old shaft will be re-
placed by new one.
Instead of one antiquated ele-
vator two new ones will take up the
vacant spot in the center of the
grimy building.
Gone will be the days Of falling
elevators. The old elevator has
slipped to the basement pit many
times. Recently with a carload of
prisoners it dropped about ten feet,
but no one was injured.
A courthouse employee lost his
life in the shaft few months ago

BLAME MANIAC /.
IN NEWCASTLE
FIRE EPIDEMIC
Authorities Unable to Fix
Identity and Citizens
May Make Hunt.

BIZ United Press
NEWCASTLE. Ind, Nov. "a
dangerous pyromaniac was blamed
for destruction of two buildings in
separate fires of suspected incen-
diary origin here today.
Each of two men claims to be
head of the fire department, and
both responded to the alarms. The
fires destroyed the j. w. FAINT paint
shop and woodworking establish
ment, with a loss of $1,000, and
barn at the Harry Martin grain ele-
vator, with q loss of $500.
Citizens in Terror
The fires we're but two in q series
of incendiary blazes that have
spread terror among citizens. Three
other fires, all believed to have been
the work of f1rebug, have broken
out here in the last week. In adj
dition, unsuccessful attempts were
made to fire the Newcastle Casket
Company plant and a school build
ing.
The flrebug is believed to be q
dangerous maniac who has been en-
couraged in his work by dissension
in the fire department, but investi-
cation has failed to point to his
identity.
State Makes Probe
The two claiming TO be fire chief
are Victor Gilbert and George Van
Zant. Gilbert, discharged by Mayor
Hays, has flee a mandamus suit
against Hays to determine whether
the right of appointing a fire de-
partment head rests with the city
council or the mayor. State Fire
Marshal Alfred HogSton has taken
a hand to the extent of asst aing
Deputy Harry Gates to investi re.
Gates reported Monday that ne hal
made little progress. Apparently
helpless against the firebug, citi-
zens are discussing formation Of q
volunteer organization to lay a trap
for him.

SAYS KIDNEYS CLOG
AND NEED FLUSHING
Drink Water Freely and Often,
Also Take Salts if Back
Hurts

When your kidneys hurt and
your back feels sore don't get scared
and proceed to load your stomach
with lot of drugs that excite the
kidneys and irritate the entire uri-
nary tract. Keep your kidneys clean
like you keep your bowels clean, By
flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which helps to remove the
body's urinous waste and stimulates
them to their normal activity. The
function o. the kidneys is to filter
the blood. In "a hours they strain
from it 500 grains of acid and waste,
so we can readily understand the
vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of good water-you
can't drink too much; also get from
any pharmacist about four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in a glass Of water before breakfast
each morning 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 help clean and stimu-
late clogged kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in the system so
they are no longer a source of irri-
tation, thus often relieving bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which every
one should take now and then to
help keep their kidneys clean and
active. Try this; also keep up the
water drinking, and no doubt you
will wonder what became of your
kidney trouble and backache.-Ad-
vertisement.

Pacifism, Says Official. .

"Plight of the people of Indian

of government by a secret minority

1T is a pleasure to speak to men
whose patriotism does not admit of

rogates on the rights of American

continued. what must be realized
is that political paciflSm involves
a greater danger than does pacif1Sm
in respect of national defense. Our
greatest threat of tyranny is from
organized intolerance within our
shores"

is ridiculed and dishonesty char
acterized as an insincere and wet
suggestion. This in America!
"These bigots will concede sim
certify and honesty to no one who
dares to think other than they do.
Fair Name Besmirched
"In Indiana, organized fanatlcism
and intolerance has produced not
only tyranny but corruption as well.
The fair name of Indiana and of
her people has thus become be-
smirched throughout the land. Our
self-respect, some of our most fun
damental rights and even our bust
ness interests have become adverse
ly affected thereby.
"All this has been made possible
by the apathy and pacifism of the
people. Rather than incur attacks
and denunciations from the bigotS,
almost every one has preferred to
remain silent and to permit the
bigots to have their way in govern
ment.
But the worm will turn, for
bigotry has made the people of In
diana ashamed, and it is hurting
their material progress. Common
sense and common decency will
soon come into their own again in
our State.
There can be no doubt that the
virile patriotism of you legionnaires
will help speed that day."
