JURA MOUNTAIN GIANT CAN CARRY HALF TON Armand Bromter. 7 Feet 5 Inches Tall. Weighed Only Four and One-Half Pounds at Birth. Philadelphia Inquirer. One of the tallest men alive to-day. possible the tallest, is Armand Bronner. who hails from Jura Mountains. He is 7 feet 51-2 inches in’ height, and his stretch from fingertip to fingertip is close on eigbti feet, while, as his boots arie' 173-4 inches long, his patronage is eagerly nought by the bootmakers in his loeallity. Bronner was born in 1860 and only ceased to grow when he was thirty years of age. It is remarkable fact that he only weighed 41-2 pounds when born. His great height is not shared by any. other member of his family, the tallest being 5 feet !) inches. Unlike most giants, who outgrow their strength, ltronncr is exceedingly ’ strong an dean enrry a weight of nearly 1 half a ton with ease. His health is ex cellent, and so is his appetite. He eats littld meat, but consumes a hugh quan tity of vegetables. Food and clothing necessarily cost him about twice what an ordinary man would have to pay and his tailor, when fitting him, requires a stepladder to reach his .shoulders. Quart of Water Cleans Kidneys Take a Little Salts If Your Back Hurts, or Bladder le Troubling You . No man or woman can make a mis take by flushing the kidneys occasion ally, says a well-known authority. Eat ing too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become overworked from the strain, get slug gish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the Mood. Then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep lessness and urinary disorders often 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 at tended by a sensation of scalding, begin drinking a quart of water each day, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon ful 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, com bined 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. ’ 7." ' Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a ightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone i should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active and the Mood pure, thereby often avoiding serious kidney complica tions. By all means have your physi cian examine your kidneys at least twice a year. t/ To Love, Honor, and Cherish Until De^th; —Cost: $100,000! w r L TmTrrmSSSSm^^^^S m m ■ ■ m iSßi? Sirs.

BY NBA SERVICE Mammoth. W. Va., Jan. 20.i-Fivc thousand men. women and children are living in tents improvised shaeks in the West Virginia mountains, on a food ra tion that costs 82 1-2 cents n week. They are the striking coal miners and their families. As part of the long warfare between the coal companies and the union mine workers, approximately 1500 families have been evicted from their homes this winter, in the region surrounding Char leston, the state capital. It was on December 16th that the sher iff and his deputies appeared in this little mining town of Mammoth. They went from one “company house” to another, setting the scant furnishings out iu the road. The evictions were by court order. To shelter the miners and their wives and children from the snows and chill mountain winds, union headquarters at Charleston rushed tents to the Kanawha River valley. Food Every Two Weeks. Food for the shivering strikers nnd their broods comes once every two weeks *=*-* ,i ~ I BORING FOR OIL The Drilling at Havelock Has Gone to a Depth of 10O« Feet. Raleigh, Jan. 30.—The drillers are nearing old basement rocks, reports W. H. Butts, geologist and mining engineer who was loaned by the State highway commission to the North Carolina geo logical and economic survey, as observer of the conditions of the coastal plains formations as disclosed by the core drill now being uqed by a company homing for oil at Havelock. In his report, according to Natural Re sources, a publication issued by' the sur vey, Mr. Butt states that on January sth the drilling; had gone to a. depth of I, feet, and that it now appears that the Tertiary Age formations have been passed .through. “At 1,500 to 2,5000 feet, there is every' likelihood that the basement rocks underlying the several strata sloping down from the Piedmont to sea level will be struck. Just how many strata there are above the base ment rocks is unknown, but it is hoped definitely to determine their number and thickness by the specimens broght up from the well by drill. “At Wilmington a well was drilled some years ago,” the report continues, “which struck the basement rock at 1,- 300 feet nnd is suposed to have passed through the' cretaceous formation. This formation is exposed at places in the valley of the Cape, Fear, in which the by truck from Charleston. The cost per person is 82 1-2 cents a week, and in a majority of instances this is the entire food supply of these families. Small children are not considered “per sons." “The men can't hunt on these lands,” explained Mrs. Frank Goddard, mother of seven youngsters, “because the lands belong to the coal companies and they are pntrolled by guards and by state troopers.” Mrs. Goddard is a typical striker's wife. She had just moved with her family from ■ j one of the tents to a little abandoned ■ I Baptist church, which is shared by nn : other family of seven. . Here is a two-weeks' ration for the ; Goddard family—a family of nine: Eight pounds of salt pork, bucon or canned meats. < Eight pounds of eornmenl or oatmeal. 1 Twenty-four pounds of flour, t Eight to ten pounds of beans. 1 Four pounds of sugar. ’ Two pounds of lard. Two pounds of coffee, a half-pound of 1 baking soda and a handful of salt and s pepper. —m" .-'ir'ijS-f' ■■ .. 'V ■ river ban cut down through various starts, but it is know that the forma tions are not entirely uniform. If base ment rock is struck, not only will it be possible definitely tto determine the num ber and characteirof the overlying strata, but in that evwt the possibility of oil in that particular well will have been disposed of with equal definiteness. “Around 720-725 feet, Mr. Butt re ports, there was a ‘smal show-of gas,’ without special cignficance, so far (as oil is concerned. “From 672 to 684 feet there appears to be a deposit of glauconitic sands, high in potash, a sandy core with a green layer. The presence of this sand indi cates that the drill was then in .cre taceous formations, which are suposed to directly overlie the basement rock in the region.” Shall Dormitory Systems Be AWoished In Colleges? Raleigh News and Observer. “Have North Carolina colleges about rpached the limit of economical expan sion, and shall the dormitory construc tion in North Carolina colleges be halt ed?” was the basis of a lively discussion on per capita student costs yesterday morning at the meeting of the Higher Education Department of the North Car olina Education Association. The subject was brought up by Presi dent E. C. Brooks, of N. C. State Col lege, who declared he saw signs of such <s«t,,rH a v luniiarv at IQ» oaturaay, January 31, i»*3 ABOVE IS SHOWN THE TENT HOMES OF THE STRIKING MIN ERS PITCHED ON THE SLOPES OF THE VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS.

That is about 7 1-2 ounces of food per day per person, counting the lard and everything. Three babies .died of pneumonia after the evictions. Makeshift “bungalows." small shacks, for two families each, have ' been built by the union, but many of the i families still live in tents, five, six and seven to a tent. We just eat bread and coffee for break fast generally," said Mrs. Goddard,'' “and ■ some days that's all we have. Some | limes the children get a dish of ontmeal once a day and eat bread the other meals. The older children get beans. , “We have to nurse tho babies as long as we can, because it's so hard to get r cow's milk for them."

This statement Interested Presi dent William Louis Potcat, of Wake Forest College, who wanted tojtnow more about it. Dr. Brooks explained that there' were signs of the per capita maintenance in creasing instead of deereasing as the number of students increased. He be lieved that this is due to the cost of maintaining dormitories. Other mem bers of the department suggested that it might 6e due to Increased teacher costs pointing out that as a • r|ile the larger institutions haye more .teachers in ratio to the number of'students and pay them more than the smaller institutions do. . • ' • 1 To Fly From Denmark to Japan.
