Razed BY Flames.

Il fire swept through the Univer-
Sity Of California hospital
The flames started as result
of an explosion in an X-ray room

would lose their lives.
But before the flames were con-
trolled there were many terror
filled moments with the nurses
striving earnestly to prevent n pan
ic and in this they were successful.
That no one was burned to death
is because of the excellent work of
the nurses, directed by Miss Kath-
leen F'ores, superintendent of nurs-
es, Charles Brennan, fire chief
told the United Press.
The hospital building is five
stories high with the X-ray room
Cn the third floor. After the ex-
ploSion the flames swept up, reach

the windows of bedridden patients.
Miss Juanita GoSenborder. tele-
phone operator, discovered the
flames and it was she who started
the day of heroism for women.
Sheets of flame were shooting
from the windows of the X-ray
room when firemen arrived. Fear
ing a repetition of the Cleveland
hospital disaster, which killed l27
persons this year, Fire Chief Bren-
nan Immediately Sounded a call
for his helmet squad and that
group, wearing gas masks dared to
enter the flaming X-ray room. The
room and adjoining room We're

After the hospital was cleared of
patients firemen battled stubborn
ly for an hour before the flames
were eXtinguished.
Damage was confined TO the third

Quilted by the flames. Little dam

CLEAN KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING
LOTS OF WATER

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, partic-
ularly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges,
severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation. torpid liver, sleeplessness,
and bladder irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right. or II
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 ac-
tivity; also to neutralize the acids
in the system so that they no longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which millions
of men and women take now and
then to help keep the kidneys clean,
thus often avoiding serious kidney
disorders.
