FOR RHEUMATIC
PAINS AND GOUT
Swellings art Reduced and Inflammn
• lon Subdued So Huiekly that
Physicians nre Amnzed
The simplest remedy and bv far the
ifuickest acting one to reduce the
swelling and banish all pain and
misery in rheumatism and gout is
Begy's Mustarine that you can buv
at any drugstore for only 25 cents a
box.
Its almost unbelievable, but it Is a
fact nevertheless, that you can shorten
the usual 10-day seige of gout to four
days, and sometimes ;!, by the free use
"f Begy's Mustarine in conjunction
with the doctor's internal remedy.
Splitting headache, toothache, ear
ache go in 10 minutes—sometimes in
.'. Just rub it on, that's all; it will
not blister. For any ache or pain, for
bruises, sprains, strains, sore muscles,
stiff neck, chilblains, sore or
frosted feet it never fails. Ask fot -
Begy's Mustarine in the yellow box.
25 cents. It's the original non-blis
tering substitute for the old-fashioned
mustard plaster.—Advertisement.
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.
