U. S. BUILDERS LAUNCH 41,150 TONS IN WEEK Monthly Total Will Drop Bc caus of Shortage in Pro duction of Steel Washington, April 30. —Nearly 50,000 tons of steel steamships were completed and made ready for serv ice by American shipyards in the last week, according to figures made public by the Shipping Board yes terday. The launchings for the week, how ever. were but 41,150 tons of both wood and steel ships. This brings the total of launchings under the Emergency Fleet Corporation to 1,- 405,000 tons. Production figures for April prob ably will be disappointing compared with March, "w.hen the total was over 200,000 tons. Such a result has been expected by the Shipping Board, however, because of a slow down of work in many yeards early in the month as a result of steel shortage and other delays. From the present month on a progressive increase in launchings and completed ships is expected as more and more yards begin to put .-hips into the water. Three steel freighters left the ways last Saturday and one wooden ves sel. In number of ships the total for wood and steel was the same. Steel ships, however, aggregated 2",- 150 tons and wood 14.000. One wooden ship that went into the water during the week estab lished a new building record. The t'aponka, built by the Grant Smith Porter Company, of Portland, Ore., was launched just fifty days after the keel was laid.

Take Salts at first sign of Bladder weakness or Kidney-Backache. Kidney and Bladder weakness re sult iroxu uric acid, says a noted au- 1 thority. The kidneys filter this acid i irom the blood and pass it ou to the : bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a Burn ing, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the blad der, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dreau, the wa ter passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again' there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call j it, because they can't control urina- Uon. While it is extremely annoy ing and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ail ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your phar macist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, coa-' tinue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary dis orders caused by uric acid irritation Jad Salts is splendjd for kidneys arid causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves cent llthia-water drink which quick ly relieves bladder trouble.—Adv.

MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! APRIL 29, 1918. MERCHANTMEN NEED OUR BOYS United States Authorities Make an A-ppcal For the Recruiting Agencies YOUIIK men of Pennsylvania who can qualify for Merchant Marine training now being carried on by the United States Shipping Board Recruiting Service have been call ed upon by Governor Brumbaugh to enter that service and help man ■the American merchant ships so vi tal to the successful prosecution of the war. In a statement given Edwin Rey nolds. a special agent of the Ship ping Board, and forwarded to Henry Howard of Boston, national director of the Shipping Board Recruiting Service, Governor Brumbaugh says: "Pennsylvania has always done a commanding service at the call of the National Government. On the Delaware River immediately after the Revolution was born the nation al merchant marine under the geni us and direction of Stephen Girard, and here we have builded through out the years of the Republic the most important vessels for this ser vice. "There is no Commonwealth whose traditions and services rank above those of Pennsylvania, and I earnestly trust that our men in, this emergency will answer the call of the National merchant marine and enroll in large numbers for a service which will not only materially and definitely advance the interests of the Republic at this crisis but will secure to it permanent and impor tant place after the war when com merce will become a commandingly significant factor in establishing and holding the peace of the world. "I urge all of eligible age to come forward and perform this valuable service to our country." RATIONING WORKING WELL IN ENGLAND ..Ijomlon Considering the novel ty of the scheme, and the many dif ficulties that were inevitable in start ing the machinery for feeding over 10.000,000 persons, the ministry of food is well satisfied with the results of the compulsory rationing in Eon don and the home counUes. The ministry has every hope of being able to honor all coupons, both for meat and margarine and butter. There are plentiful supplies of bac on. j Some misconception has arisen ' over the clause in the rationing or ! tier, which states that "no -person within the area may consume in any week an amount of rationed food in excess of the amount for the time ' being prescribed by the food con troller for such person.-' Many people have taken this to mean not only that they must not transfer a coupon to a friend, but that if an indfc'idual member of a household does not want his meat | portion his share may not be given to another. This is not the inten tion of the clause. DR. GOSXKI.I, OPENS !WTH ntm.K CONFERENCE "The Present Work of Christ," was the subject of a lecture delivered by the Rev. E. W.
