BROTHERS LIVE ‘BEAU GESTE’ IN REAL LIFE Story of Young English Trio Closely Parallel Film Story. By United Press LEICESTER, England, Feb. 22. Almost as though they had stepped down from the screen, three young brothers of Leicester are living in real life the film "Beau Geste,” depicting life in the Foreign Legion. The heroes in this remarkable adventure are John, 22, and Harry and Sidney Travers, 19-year-old twins, step-sons of a retired business man. Because John was dismissed from his work for an offense 01 which he wa| innocent, he fled to France, where he enlisted in the Foreig \ Legion. When it became known where he had gone, the twin brothers followed after him, leaving only a note behind, saying: “We can’t let John go alone. We have gone off to find him in the Legion. Don’t worry about us. We shall be all right.” John was employed as a clerk in a London office. A question was

QUART OF WATER CLEANS KIDNEYS Take a Little Salts if Your Back Hurts, or Bladder Is Troubling You No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Eating too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull achei in the kidneys, or your back hurts, begin drinking a quart of water each day, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, and in a few days your kidneys may 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 flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to help neutralize the acids in the system, so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby often avoiding serious kidney complications.

raised about some petty cash of which he had charge, and he was summarily dismissed. Subsequently it was discovered that a mistake had been made and that he was innocent. “John came home from London, but refused to tell me what the trouble was about” said the stepfather in an interview. “He seemed very unhappy. Two days after his arrival we awoke to find that he was missing. There was a note on his dresser saying that he had gone to Paris to try to join the Foreign Legion. “He took some money of his own, and a suit case containing some clothes. The three boys had always been keen on joining the Legion, and frequently discussed joining it in their conversations with each other.” Within three days of the disappearance of John, Harry and Sidney were also found to be missing, and the note saying they had gone to join John was the only clew to their disappearance. “I’m not trying to bring them back” said their stepfather. “All three are good boys, and I believe they will make good in the Legion. I afn confident that the stories of hardships in the Legion are greatly exaggerated, so I am not worrying.”

THOUSANDS TO LEAVEJARMS Migration to Continue for Several Years. BERKELEY, Cal., Feb. 22.—The great American trek from farm to city will continue in the next five years, until some 2,000,000 more farmers have left the land. So thinks Dr. H. E. Erdman, professor of farm economics at the University of California, who Just has been elected president of the American Farm Economics association. “Since 1920, some 4,000,000 American farmers have left the soil,” said Dr. Erdman. “In 1820 about 85 per cent of our population gainfully
