MATCHING MONEY, MA GIC FORGA IN jjMagician Tells How He Beat the Bandits at Their Game on a Far Away Train in China.

By Nicola, Magician, Appearing at Keith's. Money-money-money! You don’t have to be a magician to know that there are plenty of tricks in making money, and it goes Without saying that there are twice US many in keeping it. I am no counterfeiter, and I lay no claims to the art of coining, but I Can make money disappear faster that a prolific prodigal—and make it ’’appear again. That's the stickler for the spendthrift. I got my money back —and my watch-—and you'll perhaps get. a laugh out of a thrilling adventure that befell me and my party in the Wilds of China. We were held up by Chinese bandits, who shoot first and talk later. Idke the train upon which we were traveling from Hong-ICong to Canton, let me start at the beginning. Chinese bandits had'been sticking up railroad trains with as much frequency as wives ask for allowances, and our party (me, too) was pretty nervous when we entrained at HongKong for Canton. Incidentally, I was carrying the proceeds of the last engagement on my person and other members of my company were pretty fcwell fixed and toting their own val"unhles. It was the Canton Limited, the crack train of the Honk-Kong and Macao Railroad, and there was a full house aboard, including several membering of the royal cabinet and a distinguished passenger list. We were traveling about fiffly, miles an hour —which is the speed top in China —when the brakes were jammed on and everybody’s heart, already in their throats, leaped out and vanished forever. Some Bandits "Bandits!” cried out one and all alike as we peered out and saw a mob of funny-looking desperadoes on all sides. Bandits they were and they all started talking at once, which sounded like the static edition of a political convention. But they marked .their words with wickedlooking weapons, ordering one and all passengers out along the tracks. Pome stood guard while others frisked us of everything we had but our imaginations. I could have stood the loss of the money, but the watch was a gift from my mother and I decided to try some strategy. As soon as I had. been overhauled (I was one of the first in line) and to relieve the tension and try to draw the attention of the bandits, I started in on a few simple tricks of parlor magic. There wasn’t much to work with, and I invoked the assistance of sticks and tones to pull my disappearing stunts. Finally, the attention of the bandit chieftain was called to my antics. All the bandits but a few armed ktruards came over and asked me Pnvhat all the motions were about. I explained that I could make things appear and disappear. A Loud Laugh All I got was a long, loud laugh, in bandit Chinese. But the big boss seemed impressed. After half a dozen interpreters fell exhausted, I gathered that he wished to see me perform. Yes, he had heard of Nicola. So I talked him out of my bag of money and my watch and made a huge rice ball, inserting the watch

You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region begin drinking lots of water. Also gdt -about ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take g, tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is intended to flush clogged kidneys and help stimulate them to activity. It also helps neutralize the acids in the urine, so they no longer irritate, thus helping to relieve bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everybody should take now and then to help keep their kidneys clean. A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in trying to correct kidney trouble while it is only trouble.—Ad- i vertisement.

1 Was a Suffering Invalid iC [ HAD been in bed, flat on my back, for eight months,” says Mrs. Willie Keeter, of Clifton, S. C. "Nothing gave me any relief!, I tried numerous medicines but none seemed to reach the reed cause of my trouble. I fell off until I weighed but ninety pounds. I waa as white as a sheet—even my ears and lips had no color at all.” Then, one day, Mrs. Keefer's mother read of a similar case which was relieved by the use of Cardui. "She read me what the woman said,” continues Mrs. Keeter, "and just as soon as she finished I called my little boy and told him to go at once to the drug store and gdt me a bottle of Cardui. I found out very quickly that it was doing me good. I continued it with faith, for it brought me the first relief I had had in month*. "All pain left me and I continued to grow stronger. I began to gain in weight and in less than a year I had reached 132 pounds.
