New Uniform for Cuba's Navy. The general staff of the Cuban navy has appointed a committee to study designs for a new uniform for the officers and enlisted men of the navy.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids Splendid for the System. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and, sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs hich then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. Adv. New Arsenal for Greek Navy. Much of the preliminary work has been done on the proposed new arsenal for the Greek navy, which is to replace the present arsenal at Salamis. The cost of the new establishment is estimated at $14,000,000. The work is being carried out under the direction of British engineers.

Old Sailing Ships Return to Port of New York NEW YORK. Bill Quigley, the battery boatman, looked with earnestness across the waters that stretched away toward the narrows the other day. He was viewing a greater sight than he ever expected to see. To him the miracle had happened. Before him,

"It has happened," he said, with a little element of delight in his voice. "The sailing ship has come back. I never believed that I or' anyone would live to see it." Those who are most used to New York bay share the astonishment of the noted boatman who, for almost half a century, has rowed his dory out and handled the lines that dock very many of the ships, sail and steam, that come to the port. If one had said two years ago that the sailing vessel would ever again be a factor in the life of the port he would have been laughed at. But war has intervened and one of its strange results has been that there is today a shortage of dock room in New York and the bay is dotted with sailing craft more than have been seen here in a score of years before. One of the most unusual occurrences that has ever taken place in the history of a ship was that which has been undergone by the Lancing. Here is a sailing ship that was built as a steamship and had a long and notable career as a passenger vessel. In latter days sailing ships have become barges and many a vessel that was meant to be pushed about by the winds has had engines put into it, but this is one of the few instances where a steamship ascended the scale, so far as beauty and smartness are concerned, and became a full-rigged ship with hundreds of square yards of white canvas to spread to the breeze and a great bowsprit to comb the waves.

Trained Lobster Bites Philadelphia Policeman PHILADELPHIA. An attempt to kidnap Felix, a trained lobster, which has done duty outside a restaurant near Eighth and Vine street several years was frustrated by the police of the Eleventh and Winter streets station. Before Felix was rescued he bit his would-be

kidnaper and several policemen. Felix is a healthy-looking crustacean, and his appearance as he crawls along the baskets of oysters outside the restaurant has been the means of inviting many inside the place to enjoy a little snack o Felix's relatives, near and distant. Felix has been trained to look his best when a prospective customer approaches. John Johns, who claims his home

is m Camden, strolled by the restaurant at night and, viewing the lobster, put him under his coat and started out Vine street. One of the waiters ran after the fleeing man and the chase led to Ninth street, to Race and thence into Chinatown, where Johns ran into the arms of Gilligan, a policeman. Johns pleaded with Gilligan to take him off. Gilligan, thinking the man was crazy, tried to soothe him. There was nothing the matter with Johns, only he wanted Gilligan to relieve him of the lobster, which had hold of him hy the right thumb. Gilligan reached to take the lobster from Johns, but Felix had another pair oü claws left, and as Gilligan tried to grab him he reached out and clutched the index finger of Gilligan's right hand. Gilligan's yells brought Hunt, a fellow policeman, to his aid. Hunt tried to release both men, but was unsuccessful. Finally, with the aid of the lobster, Gilligan and Johns were brought to the station house, where the waiter talked to the lobster in crustacean language and Felix released his hold. In the meantime Hunt tried to get friendly with Felix by trying to pat him. on the back for capturing a prisoner. Felix has a certain antipathy toward policemen, and he did not like Hunt's familiarity. He took hold like the anchor man in a tug-of-war on the middle finger of the hand in which Hunt carries his club. Hunt yelled and again the waiter had to come to the rescue.

Waycross Man Hopes to Be Biggest Congressman WAYCROSS, GA. W. T. Brinson of Way cross has made formal announce . ment of his candidacy for congress from the Eleventh district. When he gets actively in the race he will be known throughout the nation as the

built specially to accommodate his immense bulk. It is more on the lines of an army wagon than a pleasure vehicle. A great Percheron draws it. When visiting, two chairs are required to accommodate Brinson. The furniture in Ins home had to bev built specially. He reads and smokes in a rocking chair that would accommodate an elephant. The bed in which he sleeps has been double re-enforced. All the doors in his house have been enlarged. He has a special tailor who makes his clothes. In spite of his size, Brinson is an active business man and enjoys perfect health. He superintends a large cotton plantation, is a big turpentine operator, and owns extensive lumber interests. He enjoys wide popularity. He says he proposes to be known among the politicians as the "biggest man in Washington."

New York Society Entertains a Pig in a Parlor NEW YORK. "Bless 'urn, piggins. He was a lovehe was, and he never was in a place like this before, was he?" It was enough to embarrass one more sophisticated than a simple country pig. The scene was the imposing drawing room of Mrs. Payne Whitney, at 972

Fifth avenue, and about it moved New York's most wealthy and most lovely, attired in the latest styles. The fact that he was a pioneer in a new field did not lessen the young porker's Fifth avenue debut, for it was for the social service department of the New York hospital that Mrs. Whitney threw open her home. Late in the afternoon Mrs. Anna Sands took pity on the little pig and bought him for $25. The $20 bantams

in the next box cackled a good-by, the Airedale puppy howled dismally, and the kittens raised a plaintive "meow." The pig, chickens and other live stock were not the only attractious at this market new to Fifth avenue. There was butter at $1 a pound, eggs at H a dozen, olives at $1 a small bottle, and maple sirup at $3 a pint' Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt, Jr., and Miss Muriel Vanderbilt presided over the pickles and cakes, and Mrs. Cornelius Bliss over the butter and eggs. Mrs. Payne Whitney herself took in money, throwing it nonchalantly into a huge silver bowl at her feet When it overflowed she trod the-bills down with her foot. She estimated the contents of the bowl at $1,000.

"biggest" politician in the United States. Brinson already holds the distinction of being the biggest man in the United States, and the largest Elk in the world. Brinson now weighs 585 pounds in his stocking feet, and complains dismally that he is being worn to a shadow by overwork. He has weighed as high as 600 pounds. It took him fifteen years to lose the fifteen pounds. He will make his canvass in a buggy

6 IT BABEL TOWER?

Ruins in Euphrates Valley Interest Archeologists. Many Believe Tower Famous Structure Mentioned in the Bible -Built of Colored Brick in Succession of Stages. It is doubtful if there is any place in the world so rich in ancient remains as the valley of the Euphrates, in Mesopotamia. The result is that to archeologists and scholars the place is a veritable "Tom Tiddler's ground," and new "finds" are constantly being reported. When it is remembered that tradition places the site of 'the Garden of Eden here, while amongst its many ruins are those of ancient Babylon, the promising nature of the valley to the scientific excavator becomes apparent. It is near the ruins of JBabylon that we find what many scholars believe to be the remains of the Tower of Babel an immense cube of brick work A Lonely Pile, Worn by Ages of Weather Is the World's Only Claimant to the Honor of Being to Tower of Babel. called by the natives Birs Mimrud. Recent exhaustive examination of the strange pile and its site has revealed the fact that the tower which once stood here consisted of seven stages of brick wrork on an earthen platform, each stage being of a different color. The tpwer boasted of a base measurement of nearly six hundred square feet, and rose to an unknown height. Even today the ruins rise some hundred and sixty feet above the level of the surrounding plain. Popular Mechanics. Dog Knows Phone Ring. Bud, a Boston terrier, owned by W. P. Pinney, an employee of the Southern New England Telephone company and a member of the volunteer fire brigade, can distinguish his master's telephone call two rings from the other numbers on the 310 line, according to a Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to the New York Hehald. When the bell rings twice and Pinney is at home and does not hear thr call the dog searches for him. By barking and other means he attracts his master's attention to the telephone. When Pinney fails to respond at night to the double ring Bud dashes to his master's room and rouses him. That is one reason why Pinney never fails to report for duty at a night fire. Napoleon in Opera. Long ago dramatic authors put Napoleon I upon the stage. But until the present the little corporai has only spoken. Now he is going to sing. The libretto of the opera is ready and a Genevese musician, M. Joseph Lauber, is to write the music. The title is simr'e, "1815." The theme will include the flight from the Isle of Elba, the hundred days, Waterloo and St. Helena. The role of the emperor will be taken by M. Zimmerman, who joins to a strong tenor voice the Napoleonic face. The idea of making Napoleon sing does not lack in audacity and one may well ask if it will be accepted by the French public. London Short of Doctors. Tue operation of the English insurance act, with its free medical attention to the low-waged class, is seriously hampered by lack of doctors. In London, the 1,440 panel doctors have been reduced by 170 who have joined the forces at the front, leaving 1,270 to look after the city's 1,500,000 insured persons. If the remaining number is further reduced by the newarmies, the medical benefit of the insurance act may be allowed to lapse, which would bring great suffering upon the poor. South Africa's Fruit Exports. It is anticipated that large quantities of oranges and other citrus fruits will be available for shipment from South Africa to England during the coming season. In another four years the South African shipments of such fruit will, according to the estimate of C. du Chlappini, British government trades commissioner to South Africa, amount to 400,000 boxes, and in ten years to 4,000,000 boxes annually. Greece Exports Much Opium. Opium is such an important article of export from Greece that it ranks third in the country's export list, coming after tobacco and currants. There was an enormous increase in the opium exports in 1914 on account of the war, which reflected to Saloniki shipments of the drug which would otherwise have been landed elsewhere. Opium shipped from Greece is used for the manufacture of morphine.

Those who are subject to constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside-bathing will have them both looking and feeling better In every way. Adv. Historical Records Lost. There are two great nations of antiquity whose inscriptions cannot yet be read the Etruscans and the Hittites. The Etruscans occupied a part of Italy corresponding roughly to what is now known as Tuscany. The Hlttites at one time occupied a part of Palestine, and united with the Canaanites to resist the invasion by th Israelites under Joshua. The Etruscan and Hittite inscriptions have thus far resisted the attempts of scholars to decipher them, though no on knows when someone may stumble on a bilingual inscription which will serve as a key, just as the Rosetta stone, discovered in Egypt in 1799, served as a key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics. In the new world, the so-called Maya inscriptions, found on the ruins in Yucatan, are also a puzzle to scientist.

Jaffa of the California state board of health denies that, as is generally believed, lye-peeled peaches are more injurious to health than hand-peeled fruits. The food value, quality and flavor are unchanged, and it is impossible to distinguish one from the other except by the knife m&rka of the hand-peeled product, he says. Analyses show that the acidity of the fruit is not affected by the use of lyein the peeling process.
