New York.—Everybody at 6S Thomp son street knew that Antoinette, Paul Forki’s eight-year-old daughter, had stolen $2 from her father. They had heard Antoinette crying all night and, knowing her father, felt certain she had expiated her offense. The shrieks of the child, redoubled in violence at about the time Forki, whose wife and son had gone out earlier, was leaving for his fruit stand on the E a s t side about 8:30 a. m., and many mothers at 08 Thompson street shook their heads comraiseratingly. Forki slammed the door of his apart ment at last and clumped down the stairs to his work. Listening wmmen withdrew their heads and closed their doors softly as he passed, for the very fundam ental /Of good breeding on Thompson street is the ability to mind one’s own business. By 9 o’clock, however, the dwindling shrieks and weakening moans of the childish voice which resounded in the Forki home had wrung the hearts of several women of the house to the point w’here they cast neighborly cour tesy and good breeding to the winds and sought a policeman. H e forced the door and found little A ntoinette hanging limply by iier w rists from a rope which was made fast above the transom. H e r eyes were inflamed and swollen from crying, her w rists were cut by the rope which had been knotted about them and her hands were puffy with congested blood.. She fainted when she was cut Forki is held on a charge of feloni ous assault. Use Red Light Glare to Shame Spooners Off Roads Morristown, Ohio.—Officers in the ^^stern end of Belmont county have adopted a quiet but effective method of disposing of petting parties on lonely highways near here. Upon be ing notified of such parties in their district, the officers hurry to the scene in automobiles. They are armed with an apparently harmless box. Stealthily they place the box in front of the petting party car. A fuse is lighted and then the fun begins. For the next five minutes the roadway for an area of nearly 100 feet is illuminated with a glaring red light. The couple or couples in the car promptly forget everything except the starter on the machine and f^eed away. EPILEPTIC FIT INTERVENES TO STOP ROBBERY Capricious Fate Steps In to Thwart Well-Laid Plans of Bandits. Houston, Texas.—Choosing an epi leptic fit as her weapon, capricious fate intervened to prevent a robbery and perhaps save a life at tlie Citizens’ State bank. In the silent after-midnight dark ness three men, revolvers drawn and black masks ready to hand, squatted beneath a counter of the bank. They were listening. In a moment they in tended to crawl on top of the big vault, there to wait for daylight and the coming of the first employee. Their hearts beat fast and hard with excitem e n t; and, as they crouched, one of the trio suddenly gave a loud gasp. The other two, surprised and infuriated, turned on him with snarls and m u ttered curses. But he paid no attention. He had dropped his gun and mask, and was ^Vrithing and jerk ing on the floor. The whites of his eyes shone strangely, in the gloom. Secome Afarnfied. His two companions became alarmed. In vain they shook and pum- meled him ; he seemed unaware of their presence. And then cold terror 'made their stomachs quake. W hat had seized him in the deep blackness? Their sense of guilt made every sound from the stricken man seem thunder ous and horrible; and in another mo ment they leaped up, and leaving him there, fled out through the window by which they had entered. This was the story told to city de tectives^ and Sheriff Binford by Wil liam H. Cox, 'twenty-four, who was found unconscious beneath the counter by L. S. Thompson, cashier of the bank, at 7 a. m. Monday. On seeing the revolver and mask beside the prostrate man, Thompson $T Bill Copied in Rug Seized as Counterfeit New York.—The largest counterfeit dollar in the world w-as seized here. The dollar, a rug reproducing a silver certificate, with finely woven portraits- of Lincoln and Grant, was brought in on the liner King Alexander by a‘ Greek merchant, living in Chicago.

When he recovered he returned to the bank with Sheriff Binford and detectives Arch Spradley, George Andrews and Tom Bass, nkd explained to them just how he and hl« companions had planned to stage a hold-up. He was bitter because they had run away and left him. An ironical Joke. Before entering the bank they cut the telephone wire, he said. Then they woi'ked out their cam paign. They decided to get on top of the vault, which was about nine feet high, and where, if they lay flat, they would be invisible to anyone en tering the bank. They figured that the first a c t of the first employee to arrive would be to open the vault; and then It would be easy to reach over the edge and cover him with their wea pons.' But as they were about to scramble up, fate and Cox’s nerves played them an ironical joke. According to Sheriff Binford, Cox said he estimated his Share of the haul would be $20,000, and that he in tended to bury it. He declared he was a carpenter by trade, and recently had* ti^.nrned here from Los Angeles. The sheriff and detectives called on Yale street road, and who, they said, con firmed his statem ent t h a t he was sub ject to epileptic fits. A charge of burglary was filed against him in J u s tice Campbell Overstreet’s court. China.—’The park police !

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. The urine gets cloudy, full of sedimenj;, the channels often, get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. 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 phar macy 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 9f grapes anti lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggikh kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.
