4 AIRPLANE DATA IS CENSORED BY SENATORS Misleading Caption on Picture by Official News Bureau Rouses Ire Washington. March 28.—After Lieutenant Colonel E. Lester Jones, of the supply division of the Signal < 'orps, had testified before the ben ate Military Committee yesterday that only one airplane had been shipped to Europe by this gov ernment since it entered the war the Senate Military Affairs Commit tee began an investigation of the committee on public information, of which George Creel is chairman, and in the first hour of its inquiry de veloped the fact that data bearing on the aircraft situation sent out to newspapers Tuesday was so mislead ing that the Senators voted sum marily to censor it. By a unani mous vote the members "requested that the pictures and captions in question be withdrawn." Telegrams were sent last night by the division of pictures of the com mittee on public information asking newspapers to return a set of pic tures and captions sent out for publication in next Sunday's news papers. In face of the fact that only one airplane has been sent to France, a caption attached to one of the pic tures and sent out by the committee on public information reads: "Airplane bodies ready for ship ment 'over there.' "These airplane bodies, the acme Step Lively! Corns Quit with "Gets-It" The Great Corn-Loosener of the Age. Never Fails. Painless. Watch my step?

B G EATERS GET KIDNEY TROUBLE SMS AUTHORITY Take a tablespoonful of Salts to flush Kidneys if Back hurts Omit all meat from diet if you feel Rheumatic or Bladder bothers. The American men and women must guard constantly against kid ne\ trouble, because we eat too much und all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become slug gish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. "When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sedimeat or you , are obliged to seek relief tw or three times, during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of watei btfore breakfast for a rew days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid cf grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids In the urine so it no longer if a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is Inexpensive; cannot injure, makes a delightful ef fervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake ,by hav- I ing a good kidney flushing any time. THURSDAY EVENING, of engineering art, are ready for j shipment to France. Though hun- | dreds have already been shipped, | our factories have reached quantity | production, and thousands upon thousands will soon follow." Rubel Admits Mistake ' Senator Wadsworth, of New York, happened to discover this picture and caption and he immediately set out on an investigation of his own. From the air division of the Signal j Corps he ascertained that no au thority had been given there for the i statement that "hundreds of planes have gone to France," and then he j telephoned to Lawrence Rubel, chief ! of the pictures division of the com- | inittee on public information. Mr. I Rubel admitted that the caption seemed a bit far-fetched and agreed with the Senator that it should be | modified so as to make it plain that j such shipments as have been made , to France have been confined to training planes and did not include any battle planes and were not so. great in number. A telegram to this effect was . sent to the newspapers j who hold the pictures. When it was , learned by the Committee on Mill- j fary Affairs that not even training j planes have arrived in France this i led to the complete withdrawal of the material. TO PROBE SANITARY HOSPITAL CONDITIONS [Continued from First Page.] ing that conditions were unsanitary; patients were treated cruelly and did not receive proper medical attention. Mrs. Lynch said the womjin in charge at the "pest house" continu ally neglects the patients when in need of attention. In speaking of sanitary conditions Mrs. Lynch declared one of the toil ets is out of'order, while the bathtub in the women's quarters also cannot be used, the women being compelled to use the men's room. She also said the beds are never put in order or the floors swept unless the patients do the work. Building Is Villit Dr. Ritzman to-day said some of the statements about conditions at the institution were exaggerated, but he admitted the building which is usel to house the smallpox victims, is practically unfit for the purpose. As it is the only place available and the city did not provide a municipal hospital. Dr. Ritzman said the health department in the last few years has been compelled to do the best pos sible under the circumstances and provide for patients without proper facilities. Dr. Ritzman said he doubted the accusations of ill treatment of pa tients and neglect on the part of Mrs. Laura Dettling, the woman in charge, but he said he with Dr. Hass ler, will make a complete investiga tion. He also said a physician calls at the institution every other day, and In case any of those at the "pest house" become worse, a visit is made each day. In speaking of the sanitary condi tions. Dr. Ritzman said the toilet which was in need of repairs, is now in use again. He also said necessary repairs to the bathroom for the! women had been ordered. Council May Act It is likely action may be taken in City Council, as Dr. Hassl.er said he will make a report to them. A con ference of the health bureau mem bers also may be called to investi gate the report. Need of a municipal contagious disease hospital was again pointed out by city health department of ficials. Other city officials also ex pressed the same opinion. Health Of ficer Raunick, who has been in charge of the department for several years, in his annual report to Coun cil for the last four years, has repeat edly jailed attention to the condi tions existing at the present building which is now in use and asking the commissioners to provide better fa cilities in case an epidemic should break out. Two years ago during the typhoid fever epidemic when several hun dred cases developed in the city, it was necessary to use a hotel building in the Capitol Park extension zone as a hospital, cots being placed on the second floor. The total cost of this emergency' measure was more than SI,OOO, it was said. Commissioner Hassler said he is decidedly in favor of a municipal hospital, but that even in the pres ent building there must be no ill treatment or neglect of patients, and sanitary conditions should be the best possible. COAL ENOUGH TO GO AROUND PROMISED [Continued from First Page.] strikes, transportation difficulties, or other irremediable causes, intervene, Harrisburg will receive her propor tionate share, it was added. If the coal is not here in April to satisfy the stocking up demands of local consumers, it will follow during the four succeeding months to be de voted to stocking up for next win ter. Coal is coming into the city ev ery day, it was said, and conditions will improve steadily. In order that no one will get an unfair advantage from any shortage during April or the following month, the annnual winter buying reduc tion has been averaged, and consum ers buying their winter supply in. August will receive the same reduc tion as those buying in April. This reduction has been fixed at thirty cents per ton. That the coal will be sold in the city and in the various districts of the county on a flat rate basis, was also announced by the fuel admin istration here to-day. Conferences between citizens' committees, deal ers, municipal officers, the members of the fuel commission, and the coal dealers have brought about an agree ment among thfe dealers to formu late a method of selling their coal on the flat rate basis, at price rates to be acceptable to the public. All the dealers in the city have signed up as favoring the plan. Through the plan to average their prices and form a uniform price rate, dealers with the help of the fuel administration, have formulat ed a source of revenue whereby they will be able to support the central coal bureau which is to facilitate the work of selling and delivering next year's coal supply. All the dealers will contribute to the maintaining of the central office. The uniform price rate, once fixed, will be enforced by the local fuel commission, it was said this morn ing. Harrlsburgers will be enabled thereafter to buy their coal from any dealer at the same price all other dealers charge. All the deal ers have agreed to this. To-night members of the local fuel administration will meet coal dealers from Mlllersburg, Halifax, Ellzabethville, Gratz and Lykens, at Millersburg, and citizens' commit tees from each of these towns, to formulate similar plans for that part of the county. Similar coal bureaus, with similar uniform price agree ments, will be established in all lo calities of the county, it was an nounced this morning. The uniform prlco list for Har risburg will probably be announced this week or the early parf of next week.

Dissatisfaction With German Peace Terms Grows in the Ukraine By Associated Press Moscow, Tuesday, March 26.—The situation in Ukraine presents one of the most intricate questions arising from tile cessation of war in the east. Dissatisfaction with the peace terms is widespread among the peas ants and workmen and is being ag gravated by German requisitions of grain, sugar and other products. The Central Rada, the chief legis lative body of Ukraine, passed a vote of want of confidence in the Ukrain ian government after the signing of the peace treaty. The high-handed tieatment of Ukrainians by the Ger mans, leading to a conflict vt'lth the Oernian commandant at Kiev, result ed in the resignation of M. Petlura, a member of the government, and eventually may lead to an open treak. Information from authoritative Ukrainian sources gives the impres- | sion that the Rada is seeking to tome to terms with the Bolshevik government on the basis of a feder ated alliance with the Russian re public.
