CHILEANS TRY OUT NEW PLAN TO CURBBOOZE Law Carries Direct Penalties for Drunkenness; No Ban on Liquor Sale. BY i RAFAEL FUSONI, United Press Staff Correspondent SANITAGO, Chile, Jan. 23.—A1l Chile w’atched with keen interest today the nation’s experiment in the regulation of the sale and consumption of liquor—a move toward prohibition without a‘direct prohibitive law. A law has been prepared w r hich carries direct penalties for drunkenness and the severest punishment for men whose duties involve the lives oi others—such as railway engineers, taxi drivers and the like —and for liquor venders vho allow drunkenness in their establishments. The sale of liquor to men under 20 years old is forbidden by the law. Study of the law shows Its object to be a direct attack against alcoholism which does not attempt to restrict personal drinking where temperance is observed. Fines and short workhouse terms are included in the practice of the law against first offenders. Men over 20 years old found intoxicated in any public place will be given one to three days work without pay or be fined approximately $1.25 per day. An offender caught three times in as many months will be fined approximately $12.50 or spend a month in the workhouse. Fourth offenders within a year may be sent to a temperance hospital for such a period as physicians may decide after an examination. Railway engineers and switchmen and the drivers of taxis and tram cars, found drunk while working, will be given severe sentences even though they have caused no accident or damage. Saloon owners who allow drunkenness in their places or sell liquor to men under 20 are also punishable by prison sentences.

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. This famous 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 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.
