DRINK MORE WATER IF KIDNEYS BOTHER

Eat Less Meat and Take Salts For Backache or Bladder Trouble. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked, get shiggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy, the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body’s urinous waste or you’ll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water, also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts it made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE WHEN ARRESTED

Man Who Lives With Mrs. Van Meter, Near Lee, Drank Spavin Cure— Says Stories Are False.

Monticello Herald. Because he was about to be arrested on a grand jury indictment, charging him and Mrs. May VanMeter with adultery, Frank Hoover, who formerly lived in Cass township, but who now reside in the edge of Pulaski county, just north of Morion, attempted suicide by drinking the contents of a bottle of horse medicine containing either at his home Wednesday. He drank the entire contents of an eight ounce bottle of the medicine, which was said to be a kind of spavin cure, and was only prevented in his attempt to take his life because the medicine made him so Sick that it was immediately thrown from his stomach. He was immediately rushed by Deputy Sheriff Ora Countryman and Marshal Claude Ireland, who 'had gone to his home to make the arrest, into the town of Monon, arid taken to the office of Dr. G. R. Clayton, where an examination revealed that he had not retained enough of the drug in his system to injure him iatally although he was still a very sick man.

This incident is the climax of a series of incidents which have happened in the Van Meter family in the past few weeks. Hoover was employed as a farm hand at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Van Meter in Cass township. Without any indication as to where he was going, and with all knowledge Of his whereabouts still unknown, Cecil Van Meter mysteriously disappeared from his home. Every effort to locate him by his relatives and friends was made but with no success. Some suggested the theory of foul play, while others said that he had left home because of domestic troubles. The present grand jury investigated the case and after hearing the evidence of neighbors and other witnesses returned an indictment against Hoover and Mrs. Van Meter charging them with adultery, and Deputy Sheriff Countryman, together with Claude Ireland, had gone to his home to serve a bench warrant on them from the circuit court. As the officers were approaching the barn where Hoover was standing he was seen by them to drink the contents of a bottle, which they afterwards discovered was the horse medicine above mentioned. He, together with Mrs. Van Meter, were brought into court Wednesday afternoon, and being unable to give bond, were remanded to the custody of the sheriff, who placed them in the county jail, but will remove Mrs. VanMeter as soon as possible. Hoover was questioned by Marshal Ireland as to why he attempted to take his life and said that he was not guilty of the crime charged but that people had been lying about him and that if he 'had to suffer because of semebody else’s lies he desired to inflict the punishment himself. At this time bath assert their innocence and although they have not retained attorneys, the case will probably be contested and set for trial some time during the present term.

GRANGERS ON TRIAL ON BURGLARY CHARGE

Henry Granger and Son Roy Are Being Prosecuted For Alleged Robbing of Adams’ House.

Henry Granger and son, Roy, are being tried in the Jasper circuit court on the charge of robbing a farm house on the Joseph Adams ranch, near Thayer, last May. Mr. Adams is at the head of a stock commission firm in the Chicago yards and is' one of the leading witnesses for the prosecution. The articles' stolen from his house were ’ four rugs and an overcoat. Charles Shinkle, who was arrested and pleaded guilty to the robbery, is the main witness for the prosecution.

_ Two hours were spent in selecting a jury and only five of the regular panel were left when the jury was finally accepted. There was some time spent in arguing the defendant’s motion to quash the indictment, the point being whether the indictment was properly prepared. It names burglary and grand larceny under one head and the defense contended that the charges should be separate. For a time it looked as though Henry, Who has on previous occasions escaped trial by legal technicalities, might crawl through on that ground again, but Judge Hanley overruled the motion to quash and the examination of the jury was started. Attorney Parkinson, who examined the jury for the defense, had difficulty in framing a question to the jurymen concerning the fact that the state would depend largely upon the evidense of Shinkle, a party to the robbery, and the defense wanted to know of each juryman if they would conside rthe evidence of an accomplice with the same weight as the evidence of any other person. The question as phrased was calculated to prejudice the talesmen against the evidence of Shinkle, but it was not admitted. The jury was stolen just before the period for adjournment for the supper hour and Judge Hanley announced an evening session. Joseph Adams, the ranch owner, was the first witness. He testified that he visited his home on the ranch used as summer cottage on May 20th, 1914, and found everything in good condition, that he returned on May 27th, 1914, and found the house stripped of much of the furnishings, such as rugs, blankets, shoes, boots, an overcoat, etc. One Charles Shinkle was arrested and some of the property found in his home at Thayer. He was charged with petit larceny and pleaded guilty and served a jail sentence of 90 days in the Jasper county jail. In the fall of 1914 he divulged to the prosecuting attorney, Mr. Longwell, that Henry and Roy Grainger were implicated in the robbery and that if given time he could produce 'the balance of the stolen property. Shinkle then in company with Mr. Adams and detective Garner, went to Hammond and found the greater portion of the stolen goods in a storage house in that city. Shinkle told how he in company with the defendants, went down the river in two boats and landing near the Adams cottage went over and broke open a window and opened the door and ransacked the house, staying there about an hour and a half, returning late at night by way of their boats. That- the goods taken by the Grangers was boxed and removed to Hammond the next day after Shinkle was arrested, where it was found Oct 26, 1914, stored in the name of one Clark. Shinkle stuck to the story on cross examination. Shinkle was asked on cross examination if he did not about two weeks ago visit Henry Granger and tell him that if he would give 'him money enough to pay his wife’s car fare arid that if one of his children to California that he’ would get out of the country and not testify against him, to which question he answered that he did not have such conversation. The case was resumed again on Thursday morning. Parkinson and Halleck are for defendants hnd T. B. Cunningham has charge of the case for the state, assisted by Prosecutor Hess, Deputy Sands and Fred Longwell. This Thursday morning the state again placed Shinkle and Adams on the stand and then closed their case. The defense used Dr. C. M. Rice, of Roselawn, and Roy and Henry Granger, the latter leaving the stand at about 1:30 o’clock. The attorneys far the state tried to get him to recall that he was the same Henry Granger who had pleaded guilty to some charges of selling liquor on Sunday some seven years ago, but Henry could not remember. He proved a good witness for the defense and all the attorneys could do failed to get him tangled in the least The jury that is hearing the case is composed of the following men:W. D. Bringle, W. V. Porter, -John Poole, H. W. Kdplinger, Wesley Faytor, Thos. Lowe, 0, M. Blue, Henry Davis,

St. Joe Defeated by St. Ignatius, of Chicago.

St Joe was defeated at the Sox park Wednesday by the St. Ignatius college team in a pitchers’ battle, 2 to 1. Ricks was on the mound for St. Joe and Kerman was doing slab duty for St Ignatius. St. Joe scored in the very first round and held this lead until the fourth, when the St Ignatius lads pushed one run over the counting pan. From the fourth until the ninth neither side was able to register and St Joe was blanked in their half of the ninth. Ricks wabbled in the St. Ignatius half and two of the home gang managed to get on the sacks, but there were two out at the time and it looked as if another extra inning btatle would be staged, when the batter cracked a sharp hit down toward first, where Annen was stationed, but Jack let it get away and a St Ignatius runner merrily scampered over the platter with the winning run.
