Akre of the Fifth ward will be host to the Men’s aid society of the Norwegian Lutheran Free church of the Fifth ward, tomorrow evening, at his home. SET RECORD ' FOR BUILDING New York University Put Up Eight Large Buildings for Soidiers in Thirteen Days. New York university set a record in finishing an army-barracks building for the new students’ army training corps in six days, says the New York Tribune. This building was the first of a group of eight needed for the newly inducted soldiers at the univer- sity. The entire group was completed in 13 days from the time the work was started. Prof. Collins P. Bliss, head of the department of mechanical engineering at the university, super- vised this rush job of construction, the university authorities having contract- ed for.the erection of the barracks as soon as It was learned that New York university would become an S. A. T, C. camp. The bulldings are completely sealed s0 they can be kept comfortably heat- ed by the big cantonment stoves. There are double floors throughout, there is double sheathing on the out- side, and the walls are sealed inside. Each barracks conforms to the army plan of 43 by 120 feet dimensions. In the mess hall 1,600 men are fed in two shifts. High pressure steam cook- ers are used. There are gas and coal ranges, steam tables on which to keep the food hot, and some kettles three feet in diameter. A dishwasher oper- ated by steam cleans 3,000 dishes an hour. One of the university's graduate en- gineers—Jghn Lowry, Jr.—was respon- sible for the rapid erection of the bar- racks. Being engaged extensively in government work, he was able to throw in a large force of men, trans- ferred from other government work that was finished. The site of the first barracks was surveyed and staked and posts were set in concrefe in one day.

Probably no market has been more vitally -affected by the war and less subject to control than the tin mar- ket. It is not really an American in- dustry, for an insignificant amount of tin is produced In the United States as compared with the total consumed. This country is almost absolutely. de- pendent on foreign sources for its sup- plies. But:the metal is a vital neces- sity at all times and in many direc tions. It is-particularly a war metal in that its use is essential in produc- ing tinplate for food and other con- tainers and for bearings for machin- ery. In no other metal has such com- plete chaos developed as in tin as a result of war conditions. It is the only metal which is exempt from price fixing by our own government, be cause about 99 per cent of our con- sumption comes from foreign coun- tries, where its production and sale are controlled by foreign interests. Only its. distribution here has. been regulated as a War- measure. One of the largest importers has re- cently said that it would probably be a long time before 60-cent tin ‘would again be seen. Before the war the metal was selling at a little over 80 cents a pound in New York. - It has advanced by leaps and bounds until a month _ago the New York price was nominal at over:$1.a pound, with the future shipments from the east up to 95 - cents—both unheard of heights. This has been caused by the fact that the world’s output of tin has not been enough. In fact, statistics show that in mecent years this has been at about a standstill, FORTUNE VAMISHED IN NIGHT American Citizen Tells of His Experi- ence in Mexico, Well Called Land of -Revotutions. The experiences of an American citizen in revolution-racked Mexico, in which between two suns he fell from a position of wealth and affiluence to poverty, are told by W. A. King, im- porter of snakes and wild animals from that cactus country. Widely known as the “Snake King,” he makes his headquarters in Brownsville, Tex., where he is prominent in Masonic cir- cles. He was in Washington a few days ago on business with the federal government. “I lved for a nuber of years in Mexico,” he said, “and am one of the Americans who can really appreciate the genuine freedom of our nation. I had a unique experience there just before Pershing invaded that country on his - hunt for Villa. “I was In that section dominated by the Villa bandits and.anarchists. I had in my personal possession more than 300,000 of the Villa pesos, and from the point of view of the Mexi- caus that sum of money made me & millionaire of influence. “I went to bed one night with my wealth strapped around me in a money belt. I awakened the next morning and found that a military and political break had taken place between Villa and Carranza and 1 was a pauper. “The 300,000 in pesos were worth-| less. I did not have the price of a cup of coffee.” FOBIDDEN DIET. “Now, getting down to brass tacks,” continued the sideshow man- ager, “why-—" i “I daren’t,” interrupted the Hu- man Ostrich, who had been ill. “The doctor says 1 mustn’t touch solid food for at least a week yet.”——Buf- falo Express. TAKESALIST0 FLUSHKIDNEYS Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy or Have Blad- der Trouble Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flugh the kidneys occasionally. You must re- lieve them like you relieve your bow- els; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel 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. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the chan- nels often get irritated, obliging you to ;get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body’s urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and! women take now and then, thus avoid- ing serious kidney and bladder dis- enses.
