NO BHANGE IS GIVEN Mexican Merchants Refuse to Make Small Sales. A Silver Coins Are So Valuable They Are Being Hoarded and Sold for ; Their Metal. ; ’C Mexico City.—The most persistent ] phrase encourtered by the buying pub- lic in Mexico at present is “No hay cambio, “there is no change.” The silver in the Mexican peso, 50-cent * plece, and the smaller coins is worth 5 more than the face value of the coins, : 80 this money has been hoarded by many persons and sold for their silver ‘content. The result is that “camblo,” or change, has disappeared and persons who buy or sell are forced to pay from 4 to 7 per cent for silver pleces from brokers. Most merchants refuse to make small sales if they ate forced to give change, asserting they would lose money in the transaction. The “azteca,” or Mexican 20-peso piace (gold) is practically useless as money in stores or cafes when the purchase is for a small amount. “T might es well be broke as have an azteca,” complained an American who was hungry and could not find a cafe to change his gold. Later he hit upon a unique scheme. He deposited the “azteca” with the cafe proprietor and proceeded to eat at intervals until he had no more credit, which, with prevailing prices, was not a long time.

London.—Description of starvation conditions in Vienna were given by two Viennese physicians, Herr Schiles- singer and Herr Hertz, at a meeting held here under the auspices of the fight the famine council. The latter declared Vienna was vir- tually blockaded on all sides and suf- fering from lack of coal. He declared the industries of the city were going ¢ to pieces. H Dr. Schlessinger gaid food conditions 3 in Budapest were less serious than in Vienna because farmers are selling their cattle, rather than risk seizure by the Roumanians. He asserted, how- ever, that this was only a temporary expedient and that unless help was forthcoming, widespread suffering in Budapest was probable.

Old Man Plays Ball. Berlingame, Cal.—Celebrating his one hundred and fourth birthday by playing baseball with youngsters in the neighborhood, Daniel McClane, a miner of Lassen county, visiting his daughter here, said he “just wanted to Lavs a little sport before return- ing north.” McClane attributes his long- § evity to temperate habits and plenty of exercise. I e T o * THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1919 GOOD WALKS FIRST REQUISITE Those Built of Concrete Are Proba- bly the Best That Have as Yet Been Devised. Good walks between the buildings on farms add greatly to the ease and comfort with which farm work can’ be done. Good walks about suburban homes are a necessity. Concrete walks when properly made are permanent. The New York state college of ag- riculture recommends excavating 8 to 10 inches, but what is worth doing, particularly in making walks with the expectation of having them perma- nent, is worth doing as well as it can be done. Therefore make the exca- vation 10 inches, or better 12 inches, and fill in with from 6 to 8 inches of cinders and similar material well tamped to make a good base. On top of thie place 314 inches of concrete tamped in place and a top coat of % inch of cement mixed in the propor- tions of one part cement to two of sand. The gravel for concrete should be well graded in sizes from 3 inch to 1 inch, and for this material the pro- portlons may well be one part ce- ment, thfee of sand and six of gravel. Poorer materials should have a richer mixture. The top coat should be trowelled to drive it into the concrete base but not necessarily to make it smooth. A rough surface walk may be ad- visable, in which case a little finer gravel may be used in the concrete and the full 4 inches made of this ma- terial. islamic Creec’. The Islam creed embraces belief in the prophets and apostles Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Moham- med, but the Moslems consider Mo- hammed the “most excellent creature of God.” MANY WOMEN USE GLYCERINE MIXTURE Bemidji women will be surprised at the INSTANT pleasant action of simple glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. One spoonful relieves ANY CASE gas on stomach or sour stomach. Because Adelr-i-ka acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, it often cures constipa- tion and prevents appendicitis. One lady reports herself Cured of a bad case of bowel trouble and constipa- tion. City Drug Store. QUIT MEAT WHEN KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Troubles You No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a imstake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, s3ys a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over-worked from the strain, get sluggmh and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, dizziness, sleepless- ness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scald- ing, stop eating meat and 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 kxdneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutral- ize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. ,Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which ev- eryone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding ser- jous kidney complications. “OUCH!
