Cause Short Circuit
• St. nomas—Small boys s erf

into small pieces. One high-tension
wire was burned in two and fell ac
ross telephone wires, but, fortunate-
ly, no damage ; resulted.

CRAWLING ABOUT
WITH LUMBAGO
ere. is some: useful information
for anyone troubled with that tneorrr-
fortab"complaint, coplaint, lumbago. A wo-
man writes:—,
`Tor years, I suffered from' lum-
bago, Dining wet weather, T' could
only turn in bed with great effort and
pain, I Was so 'stiff and ached so
match. Two years ago I had both
lumbago and sciatica, and crawled
about fore, a fortnight, feeling` very
sorry for myself .and looking 103 in-
stead of 33. Someone said, 'Try Kru-
schen Salts,' so I did, and I have tak-
en them, ever since, with the result
that I hardly ever get a hint of lum-
bago these days,".. (Mrs.) G. P, C..
Why is it that Kruschen'is so ef-
fective' in keeping; lumbago at bay?
Simply because it goes right down
to' the root of the trouble and re-
moves the cause, 'which is an impure
blood stream. The six salts in -Kru-
schen keep the bloodstream pure and
vigorous by `promoting a clockwork
regularity of all the organs of elim-
ination.
