THREE MOLTEN RIVERS SPREAD RUIN IN SICILY Devastating Eruption of Mt. Etna Is Unabated. • to, I '- BY THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Staff Correspondent CATANIA, Sicily, Nov. 9.—The devastating eruption of Mount Etna continued unabated at the source today and millions of lire damage had been done in the peaceful valleys that le at the slopes of the mountainside. The full realization of the wrath of the great crater became known when Professor Gaetano Ponte, director of the observatory for the volcano, flew over the crater. He watched the three flows of lava spew from their pits and start hurtling down the mountainside. There is no abatement of the force of the destruction, he reported. The speed at the start sometimes reached 400 meters an hour. Fortunately as the molten lava streaks down the mountainside its power decreases and at som6 of the bases its speed now is estimated at no more than five kilometers an hour. Three Streams of Lava Three destructive streams have poured down out of the crater, sweeping all vegetation before them. They are expected to join at the sea Saturday and the natives of this hillside country hope the danger then may pass, provided another outbreak does not start in the great crater. Twelve thousand homeless persons are housed in the schools and cement house buildings which have withstod the damaging force of the volcano. Two persons have been killed. A man and his wife, who had lived in the peaceful agrarian valleys for years, died in each other’s arms on the roof of theri farmhouse. They had been signaling for help as the fiery red flow descended and destroyed them and the property they had taken years to build up. Molten Flow Sweeps District The United Press correspondent watched the merciless mass creeping slowly on the richest lands of the district. The molten flow swept down through the district and as the searing stream struck the trees of the rich apple and lemon orchards they were wilted. The white hot flames struck up Into the trrunks, eating away the sap, and before one’s very eyes the trees withered. The three streams from Mount Etna are visible from Mascali, pouring down in unabated wrath. A column of smoke rises from the summit and the cinders from the terrible subterranean disturbance fill the air. The surface of the stream resembles a vast cinder dump with the color slightly dark gray. Underneath this top covering there is a red molten mass. The scene Thursday night was fantastic. There was a gorgeous red river flowing from the top of the crater almost to the sea. It was a beautiful sight but to the inhabitants it meant nothing bu* tremendous disaster. The British parliament held that country to be in a state of war with Germany until Aug. 31, 1921.

DRINK WATER IF KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Pains or Bladder is Irritated Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. 5 r.ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink. —Advertisement. <
