GREENCASTI4E, Ind, Feb. g.
Robert Schrader, 10, Culver Military
Academy graduate and a former
student of Howe Military Institute
and Notre Dame University, con-
victed thief and escaped prisoner
from the Indiana State farm, has
aroused the sympathy of Judge
Hughes of Putnam Circuit Court
here.
Before the court after enjoying
few hours liberty in the escape,
Schrader told Judge Hughes that
his parents separated when he was
only years old, which prompted
the Judge to remind large crowd
in the room of the danger in lack
of parental guidance.
Schrader was sentenced from
South Bend, April last for stealing
tire to put on his fathers automo-
bile. He said his father recon-
mended to the trial court that it
impose the heaviest sentence posi-
BILE, and the youth was sent to the
farm for six months and fined $500.
The court has taken the escape
case under advisement.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Often Means
You Have Not Been Drink
ing 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 authority. An excess of
such acids .overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the
blood and they become sort of para
lyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must re-
lieve them, like you relieve your
bowels, removing all the body's
urinous waste, else you have back
ache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sourS, tongue is coat
ed, and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or 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 juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for years to help
clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize acids in the
system, SO they no longer irritate,
thus often relieving bladder weak
ness.
lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, eff
fervescent lithia-water drink. Drink
lots of soft water.-Advertisement.

INDIANA STORES
OF EARLY DAYS
STRONGLY BUILT
Loogootee Resident De-
scribeS Structures of
Which Few Remain.
BY United Press

BY United Press
LOOGOOTEE, Ind, Feb. 3.-The
old-time storekeeper, in his we'll
built cabin, could close his doors and
windows, pull the shutters over
them and retire for the night with
out fear of being robbed, according
to Carlos T. McCarty of Loogootee.
Most of the old-fashioned store
buildings, the majority of them
built sixty or seventy-five years ago,
passed out of existence recently. A
few are still left in southern In
diana.
1.-THE old-time store was usually a
frame structure, well-built, mortised
and pinned together with wooden
pegs" McCarty said. 1.-THE fittings
were SO close that scarcely any wind
could blow through cracks to chill
the inmates. The most important
feature of the store, however, was
the way it was locked up for the
night"
The door of the hut was fastened
with heavy log. The windows had
shutters on them that were shutters.
They weren't made of flimsy pine.
They were hewed out of oak and
made to fit the windows ano door
frames around the glass with a
closeness that left no room for a
Jimmy or chisel to enter. At the
top they were fastened with strong
iron pins which fitted into iron
sockets.
At the bottom they we're drawn
tightly around the window Trans
with a thumb screw which extended
through the window sash. When the
screw had been turned to the limit,
it was impossible to force the win
dow or door.

FORMER RESIDENT
NOW DEVELOPING:
MEXICAN LAND

General stability and a desire to
develop the country, characterizes
the present spirit prevailing in Mex
leo, according to Walter +. Packard,
formerly in charge of the Meloland
Experimental station, who was here
Wednesday in the interest of the
Agronomic department of the Mex
lean National Irrigation commission.
Surveys are being conducted
throughout the country so that sit
able sites may be found for the
establishment of irrigation systems.
Not only are agricultural opportun-
itics being sought for farmers in
Mexico but also for those who have
come to the United States because
of lack of available land in that
country.
Opportunities are being created
south of the international border
which are calculated to induce a
great number of Mexican farmers
who have come to this country back
to the land of their birth.
The first irrigation project will
be completed in the state of Aqua
Calientc about January !, Packard
said. There will be room for about
200 families in the first unit and
space is expected to be opened for
additional population Immediately
after or as soon as land may be de
vcloped for farming purposes.
All Mexican capital is being used,
Packard stated, and not only is the
government interested in agriculture
but in the advancement of the rural
school system and highways. Travel
has become much safer in recent
months and trains are running on
schedule.
Not only in tho Aqua Calicntc
region are surveys being made for
irrigation projects but in other parts
of the southern republic as well.
Within the next few years 1t is cX-
pccted that vast tracts will be open
to the farmer population of Mexico.
Packard expects to return to his
offices in Mexico City sometime
next week. He will travel through
the state of Sonora and will visit
the Iaqui valley in which "A great
amount of development work is al
ready underway.
