EPS KIDNEYS ACTIVE WITH A GLASS Of SALIS Must flush your Kidneys oc casionally if you eat meat regularly. Noted authority tells what causes Backache and Bladder weakness. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, >-.*ys a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, ■ onstipation, dizziness, sleeplessness' bladder disorders come from slug gish 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 attended by a sensation of scald ing, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few uuys and your kidneys will then act line. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them J.o activity, also to neutralize the tu ids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis orders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can. rsot injure; makes a delightful efTer- M-ftent lithia water drink which all reifular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean und the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications. THURSDAY EVENING, HUGHES ASKS SENATE TO DROP PLANE INQUIRY Pica of Interference Follows Adoption of Motion For Sweeping Search Washington, May 23. Charles Evans Hughes appealed to the Sen ate Military Affairs Committee >es terday to drop its proposed investi gation into the airplane program, on the grounds it would hamper the De partment of Justice in the inquiry being made under his direction. The request followed the passage without a tight of a resolution authorizing a sweeping Senate investigation. His own investigation will be thor ough and complete, and its results will be made public, said Mr. Hughes in a letter to the Attorney General, which was published at a meeting of the committee yesterday after noon. The committee may abandon its program for an inquiry, as a result of Mr. Hughes' request, or may contine it to a secret investigation to be made by a subcommittee. The Senators will decide within a few days, pos sibly next Friday, when the commit tee meets again. The committee, how ever, named the subcommittee to conduct the Senate inquiry if the second investigation should be de cided upon. Senator Thomas, Demo crat, is chairman of the subcommit tee. The other members are Reed and Hoke Smith. Democrats, and New and Frelinghuysen, Republic ans. Substitute for Cltnml>prlnin Motion Senator McKellar reported from the committee to audit and control the contingent expenses of the Sen ate a substitute for the Chamberlain resolution authorizing the Senate in quiry soon after the Senate met at noon. It was passed without debate and without a dissenting vote. The substitute resolution author izes the Military Committee to em ploy assistants and to visit the air craft plants to make its inquiry and placed no limit on expenses that might be incurred. It is in the form of a rider to Senate resolution 4S. which was passed in April 1917. and which authorized the committee to conduct any investigation it wanted to. it follows: "Resolved. That any expenses in curred by the Committee on Military Affairs under the provisions of Sen ate resolution 48, heretofore adopted including the exiwnses of employing assistants and traveling expenses, shall be paid out of the contingent fund of the Senate." Both sides claimed a victory after adoption of the resolution. Adminis tration leaders were jubilant because the Chamberlain resolution was not brought up. The Senators who have been fighting for the passage of the Chamberlain measure claimed vic tory because they had been granted complete authority to conduct a thorough investigation, even though the resolution authorizing it does not bear Senator Chamberlain's name.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! ted to adjourn and revenue legisla tion would be postponed until next winter. That the President will take sides with Secretary McAdoo and in sist on a revenue bill at this time ap pears certain. Representative Kitchin, Democra tic floor leader, asserted in an inter view to-day th it it_ will require a statement from the President as commander-in-chief of the armies that the revenue bill is necessary for the support of the armies before v/e will put one through at this session." Democratic leaders in Congress tiro almost defiant as regards the wishes of the Treasury Department itself. They are not willing to undertake revenue legislation on the arguments advanced by Secretary McAdoo and only the Presidential mandate it ap pears will bring them into line. To Meet Chairmen To-day At 6 o'clock this evening the Pres ident will confer with Chairman Simmons of the Senate finance com mittee, Chairman Martin of the Sen ate approprlaUons committee. Chair man Kitchin of the House ways and means committee, Chairman Sherley of the House appropriations commit tee and Representative Garner, a Democratic member of the House ways and means committee. The quintet of Congressional lead ers will go to the White House armed with arguments that revenue legisla tion should be postponed, first be cause it is "unnneccssary" and again because it would be "bad polities'* from the Democratic standpoint to project a bill at this time. Democratic members privately predict that drastic revenue legisla tion this summer will give the Re publicans control of the House next fall. The taxes to be levied are so heavy they maintain, that a sufficient number of Democrats will fall by the wayside to turn the House over to the Republicans. While it is not asserted that the supplementary war revenue bill is to be a partisan measure. Democrats argue the reaction will be against the party in power. WEEK I.
