ITALIAN METHODISTS ASSIST
REFUCEESSENTBACKIN WAR
Florence, Italy, April 29, Via Paris,
5.05 A. M.—The annual conference of
the Italian Methpdist Episcopal church
closed to-day after reports had been
received upon the progress of work in
Italy. The most important topic dis
cussed was the assistance given Italian
refugees driven home bv the European
war and also that extended survivors
of the Avezzano earthquake.
The Rev. B. M. Tipple, formerly of
New York, but now pastor of the
odist church in Rome, was appointed
delegate from Italy to the general con
ference of the church to be held at
Saratoga Springs in May, 1916. His
election is regarded as an endorsement
of his educational program, especially
the plan to erect on Monte Mario close
to the Vatican a modern college which
would accommodate 1,000 students.
SAY ASPHYXIATING BOMBS
CAUSES PAINLESS DEATH
London. April 29.—The Prussian
military organ, the "Kreuz Zeitung,"
and the "FYankfurter Zeitung'' and
"Cologne Gazette," copies of which
have been received here, all admit that
the German used asphyxiating bombs
which they justified.
The "Frankfurter Zeitung" con
tends that it is more humane to employ
such bonubs, which it says produce a
quick and painless death, than to pour
a hurricane of shells on a single spot
to destroy and break to atoms every
thing living there.
The "Kreuz Zeitung" says the al
lies should learn the lesson that they
are making a mistake "when by their
behavior they cause us to resort to new
technical weapons."
SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat, Which Clogs
Kidneys, Then Back Hurts and
Bladder Bothers You
Most folks'forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need a flushing occasional
ly, else we have backache and dull
misery in the kidney region, severe
headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act ffne. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. It also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble

BELGIANS TELL ABOUT THOSE
AWFUL ASPHYXIATING GASES
Havre, France, April 29, 5 A. M.—
The official Belgian committee ap
pointed to investigate reported viola
tions of the laws of nations has ad
dressed to Minister of Justice Wiart a
report on the use by the Germans of
asphyxiating gases. It is stated that
gaseous clouds extending 300 feet into
the air were carried awav from the
German lines by the wind. The clouds'
were green in color at the base grad
ually shading to light yellow toward
the top. Several kinds of gases appear
to have been used, including chlorine,
the nitrous vapors of sulphurous anhy
dride and others, the nature of which,
has uot vet been determined.
Four methods were employed, the
report states, in generating these gases.
The first was to light fires in the first
line of trenches and permit the wind
to 'blow the gas formed towards the
lines of the Germans' antagonists. The
three other methods involved enclos
ing the gas in some kind of missile.
These include! cans thrown either by
hand or mine howitzers, cylinders of
compressed gas or shells containing
compounds which were transformed into
gas when they exploded.
The effects of the fumes were felt
at a distance of half a mile. They
produced a kind of stupor which last
ed for three or four hours.
A German prisoner who was taken on
April 15 stated that gas cylinders
were placed along the entire front held
by this corps. There was one every
six feet and men specially instructed
in their use were told to see that they
produced the desired effect. These
men were provided with smoke helmets
while respirators were distributed to all
the soldiers.
CERAIANY BLAMES BRITAIN
IN ILL TREATING PRISONERS
Berlin, April 29. via London. 2.05
A. M.—The statements made yester
day in the House of Commons and the
House of Lords, by Winston Spencer
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty.
Premier Asquith and Lord Kitchener,
regarding the treatment of the cap
tured crews of German submarines and
Germany's retaliation on British of
-flcers prisoners in this country, are re
garded in high quarters here as well
defined cases of imputing to Germany
responsibility for measures which were
inaugurated by Great Britain.
It was pointed out to-day in official
circles that Lord Kitchener's refer
ence to the provisions of the Hague
convention barring solitary confine
ment of prisoners of war, except as an
indispensable measure of security, ap
plies with full force to Great Britain's
treatment of submarine crews and that
the Germans had not resorted to sim
ilar tactics until the British had set
them an example.
It was stated that Mr. Churchill's
j announcement that American represen-
I tatives would be allowed to visit the
| imprisoned Germans only if similar
! facilities were granted in Germany,
; was rather disingenuous in view of the
fact that Great Britain and Germany
had si-gned an agreement authorizing
American visitations to prisoners'
camps anil that Germany had given no
| intimation that she would violate this
agreement. It was added that no note
! questioning Germany's good faith in
this matter should have been sent to
the American ennbassy for transmission
to the German government.
Blames War on England
Berlin, April 29, 10.40 A. M.—
Houston Steward Chamberlain, the
English author who has lived in Ger
many and Austria since 1885, has been
decorated by Emperor William with the
non-confbatants iron cross. Since the
war began there have been published
in German newspapers with his con
■sent letters to friends in which he
I blamed Bngland for beginning the con-
I flict. One of the letters attributed
|to him closed with the words: "'May
God protect the glorious German cause.
! There is no other hope for the future
! of mankind."

TO FILL STATE HIGHWAY
VACAHCIES FROM RANKS
Cunningham Hint* at More Removals
and Promotions—New Construction
Work Will Be Done Only If Funds
Are Available After Repair*
Accompanying the announcement
muile late yesterday of the removals by
State Highway Commissioner Cunning
ham of Charles P. Walter, of Harris
burg, as superintendent of roads in
Dauphin county, ami L. W. Francis, as
sistant engineer in Cumberland, Frank
lin. Fulton ad Adams couties, it was
stated by Commissioner Cunningham
that in the Vase of these removals, as
in others which may be made, vacancies
will be tilled in so far as practicable
by promotion of men now in the em
|)lby of the department. Mr. Francis
is succeeded by W. K. Woltinger, at
present road engineer in Montgomery
county, and J. C. McCarrell has been
transferred from the maintenance divi
sion to succeed Mr. Walter.
Delegations from Montgomery and
Cambria counties called 011 Commission
er Cunningham in the interest of good
roads in their counties and were in
formed that it would take a large pro
portion of the money available to place
the 10,000 miles of State highways in
proper repair and that Commissioner
Cunningham did not see much hope for
any large amount to be expended in
new construction.
Commissioner Cunningham told each
delegation that it is the purpose of the
department to carry out the policy laid
down by Governor Brumbaugh of main
taining the Sprout highway system of
the State in the best possible way and
that silch sums of money as might be
left from the appropriations after the
maintenance work had been provided
for would go toward the construction
of new ami improved highways. The
Commissioner said that he would not
promise to build roads when the reve
nues of the State did not appear to be
sufficient for that work.
"You do not want promises," he
said. "You want fulfillment."
SIOO,OOO IS APPROPRIATED
FOR NAUTICAL TRAINING
The House last night passed the 'Hess

ARGUE FOR RETENTION OF
NON-PARTISAN FEATURE
I The Senate Committee on Municipal
I Corporations, after hearing argument
!in opposition to the amendments pro
! posed foiS the Clark third class city
! bill, decided last evening to report the
bill out on next Monday night, but
did not indicate positively what it pro
poses to do with the amendments.
The legislative committee of the
City Solicitors' Association of Thim
Class Cities was heard in opposition
to the amendments through City So
licitor Gardner, of New Castle, and
| City Solicitor Schoonmaker, of Brad
ford, the principal objection being to
'the amendment taking the election of
| City Commissioners out of the non
partison class and making their nomi
■ nation and ejection partisan, as before
, the Clark law took effect.
The principal speakers, with others,
| argued that the uon-partisan nomina-
I tion and election plan was the fairest
| way to ascertain the will of the people,
i and held that no city in the class de
; sires to return to the old method.
; Senators Vare, Clark and Beidleman
asked numerous questions regarding
i the workings of the new law, an 1 were
■ told that with the several minor a mend
; menu agreed upon at the meeting in
I Harrisburg last December, it was tin
! doubtedly giving satisfaction.
Members of the committee seen aft
er adjournment declined to say what
I will be done with the bill, but intimat
ed that it may be left in its present
shape, with the partisan election fea
ture intact.

U.S.WOOD-WASTEEXCHANCE
Manufacturers Decrease Costs aad In
crease Their Profits by Utilizing
Each Other's Scrap Material
Washington, April 29.—The latest
business-aid service instituted by the
government is a wood-waste exchange.
Jt enables lumbermen and manufactur
ers in the various wood-using indus
tries to utilize each other's waste to
mutual advantage, aiming to effect a
large saving in forest material as well
as in money.
The wood-waste exchange is being
conducted by the forest service of the
Department of Agriculture. More than
forty manufacturers of wooden ar
ticles already have asked to be listed
as having certain kinds of waste wood
for sale, or as desiring to obtain their
raw material in the rough or in semi
finished form from mill or factory
waste.
Twice a month the exchange sen Is
out a circular headed, "Opportunities
to Buy Waste," containing the names
and addresses of factories having waste
wood for sale, with exact information
as to species, sizes, forms and quanti
ties. Similarly, another circular heade I,
"Opportunities to Sell Waste," gives
the specific requirements of wood-using
plants which desire to buy waste ma
terial.
One of the first waste problems
solved has been that of a furniture
maker in Michigan who wrote to the
forest service asking how to dispose
of sugar maple blocks an I sticks which
were cut off in the process of furniture
making and which he had to sell
merely as fuel. Samples were obtain
ed from him and the forest service then
located a scrubbing brush manufac
turer who used small maple blocks for
brush backs. The result was that the
furniture maker was enabled to sell his
waste at a much higher price than it
had brought as firewood, while tho
brush maker was enabled to buy brush
back material in suitable sizes at a
much lower figure than it had been
costing him to buy maple lumber and
cut it up.
Firms which have been put into
touch with each other through the ex
change are expected to notify the for
est service when their requirements
have been met; then their names are
removed 1 the lists. In this way
several concerns which early took ad
vantage of the plan have dropped oil'
the lists; but as more and more manu
facturers learn of the wood-waste ex
change the lists are steadily growing.
