REVENUE BILLS ARE PRESENTED Would Raise Between Four and Five Million Dollars Every Year They Say Four revenue raising bills which It is estimated will raise between $4,- 000,000 and ?5,000,000 per year were introduced into the House last eve- ning by Chairman James F. Wood ward, of the Appropriations Com mittee. He also presented the reso lution to amend the eonstituUon to permit graded, taxation, which con tains a provision for a vote to be taken on it in November, 1919. The revenue bills call for one mill tax in capital invested in manufac turing and laundering, the proceeds to be devoted to highway purposes, lor a two per cent, ad valorem tax on each ton of coal mined in the State, one half to be devoted to highway purposes; the balance for general State uses, and two per cent, ad val orem on crude petroleum and natural gas, proceeds to be devoted to high way purposes. Game Code Lost The game code bill which has been under consideration in the House and its game committee for weeks was passed in the House last night by a vote of 116 to 53. The bUI was made a special order on third reading and an attempt made to go into committee of the whole to insert an amendment to prevent sale of egrets was voted down 81 to <9. A long debate was opened by Mr. Uiningcr, Blair, who objected to the failure to protect the heron. Mr. Powell, Luzerne, chairman of the came committee, promised to have SJie bill amended to protect that bird in the Senate and declared op position to the bill after open hear ings was unfair. Messrs. Phillips, I'lcarlield, and Siggins, Warren, op posed the bill and Messrs. Sones, Schuylkill, and Hell, Huntingdon, ad vocated it. A bill was introduced by Mr. Stein, Philadelphia, and passed' for the first time which would carry into effect the constitutional amendment relative to Philadelphia debt increase election approved in 1915.

We are a nation of meet eaters and our blood is lilled with uric acid, says a well-known authority,, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney,trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get /luggish; the eliminatlve tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine-is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous anil dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast* each morning and in a few days your Sidneys will act line. This 'famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, comuined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu tralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disor ders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a ef fervescent lithia-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by tak ing a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.—Adv.

The western interests want the busi ness completed and the committee put to sleep for the rest of the ses sion while the eastern men are not so keen for that procedure. It is understood that Representative Mitchell will be given an opportunity to appear before the committee ami speaK for prohibition. The method he wants followed is known as statu tory prohibition .which does not go to the people, but can be passed ut one session of the Legislature. It is not a constitutional amendment and can be repealed at any time the opponents of the idea have the nec essary votes. Mi-. Mitchell, who comes from Jefferson county, wants to amend his bill to make it applic able during the term ot the war and that meets with tne same cordial re ception lrom the liquor men as the Kaiser would give president Wilson at this time. The committee will likely go back of the Smith Cabaret repealer. This was introduced by the youtlitui member from Bedford qounty and positively prohibits caburets in li censed saloons and clearly detines what the saloon may otter In the way of entertainment for its patrons. The wording ol the bill would elimi nate dancing, singing, vaudeville, moving pictures trom the saloon or dining room, but no mention is made ot an orchestra. That may be per mitted. The liquor interests will likely support uus bill from what was hearu to-duy. it is a reform measure that they deem politic to get back ol' at this time as a sop to tne opponents of liquor. Representative Smith also has a prohibition amend ment resolution in the Constitutional Reform committee. He thinks there will be a chance to gut it out before the House. Various measures relating to the liquor business will also bo report ed out. The committee will discuss premium bills, one dealing witli the signs that will be permitted over sa loons and others of a technical na ture which have been considered .by the Liquor Healers' Associations. Some interesting developments arc expected to-day. SECOND DRUGGIST IS UNDER ARREST [Continued From First I'agcJ Many of the forms had been drawn on local druggists but an investiga tion proved that they were not on tile locally, but had been tilled out of | the city. t'scd Opium Is Charged Marshall had botained not only morphine, cocaine but also opium which was usually added to the orig inal after the' duplicate had been made, but no record kept on the du plicate. The loose methods ot keep ing Hies had been begun a short time after the passing of the Harrison act, but apparently no discrepancy had been noticed when the tiles had been investigated prior to the coming of Koos, and the cleanup, to Harris burg. When Marshall insisted that ho bp given time to get a lawyer tof defend him, Koos urged him to get six. "the more the merrier, the better I can show no the case." When Dr. Mar shall broke down and plead for mer cy and the saving of his reputation, Koos reminded him thai. h>a brother evidently did not think of the thou sand of ruined lives and homes that every illegal sale of drugs meant to the community, the thousands that were iyade criminals and helped to become addicts that some men might grow rich on the illegal sale of drugs. MEATS BEING HELD; PRICES HERE SOAR [Continued From First Page] butcher, stated this morning that Chicago packers have 500 per cent, more meat in storage this year than last and that beef that was selling for .twelve and thirteen cents per pound last year has jumped to twenty-two and twenty-three cents per pound now. . An oflicial of the W. H. Hamer and Son Company said that the price of all meats has jumped consider ably during the past week and has been increasing for the last six months. "Pork, beef, lamb and veal have increased from one-half to a cent per pound Cfh week and last week pork jumped two cents. Pork products that sold for twenty-one cents per pound last week are now selling for twenty-three cents," lie said. Pork Advance .Marked Christopher A. Hibler, general manager of Swift and Company, said "That the prices in all grades of meats have increased greatly dur ing the past six months and pork products especially. The most mark ed advance in price has been made, however during the last 30 days. This is due to the fact that the de mand exceeds the supply. Heavy demands have been made on th'c markets in this country by the neo nle here and abroad and while there h not a marked shortage in local cattle and pigs there is a shortage in other sections of the country, especially in the west; and the local formers sell their products accord ing to the quotations of the Chicago and New York markets. During the past six weeks pork has in creased five cents per pound and beef has increased two cents." Cannot Contml Prices Local butchers say they cannot control prices for they are all reg ulated by the demand, and since the supply of western beef is materially reduced there is nothing to do but to charge the retailer, who must levy his tax on the consumer. Some butchers here are buying steers, cows and bulls raised in this district, but they say there is small demand, for this brand of meat and that the consumer prefers western beef. The beef raised in this district is the commoner grade and while cheaper for the consumer, it has increased materially in price. Believes Food Is Being Stored W. Frank Witman. of the firm of Wit man and Brothers, wholesale grocers, in discussing the increasing price of foodstuffs said "The sugar refiners and producers of canned goods are making an effort to keep the prices as low as possible by limit ing the supply of sales to dealers and to restrict the consumption. It is a known fact that since the lirst of the year the consumers in this city have been buying more than they need for immediate consump tion. This accumulation naturally makes a shortage of materials when practically every consumer In the country is doing the same thing and \lso forces-up the price. Prices art higher now than for years but the producers have found it necessary to raise them In order to reduce consumption, and to control the sup ply. The consumer without realizing it is doing a great deal to force the price of foodstuff up, and the quicker they realize the fact, the better the situation will become. TK.tniMi IMIW\ OI.D HOTEI.
