poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness
sleeplessness and urinary disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensi-e, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation of scalding, stop eating
meat and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a la
blespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kid

made from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and slim
ulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferyescent
Whitewater drink, which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications. -AdVt.

If Cons6pated, Bilious, Headachy, Stom-

Bowels Tonight Sure.

Get a l0-cent box now.
You men and women who can't get

Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil!
Casearets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all the
eonstipated waste matter and poison in
the bowels.
A Cascaret will straighten you out by

He said the Butte miners were paid
on the basis of the selling price of cop
per- with minimum wage of $3.50 a
day, had an eight-hour day, and were
not forced to trade in company stores
or live in company houses.
Chairman Taylor pointed out the CON

was made to unionize the laborers.'

opposition OF the mine operators is not
against the political Socialist, but
against organized employees; the opposi

men rather than to any political party
or propaganda"
Mr. Mitchell urged legislation to pro-
hibit the importation of armed guards.
Questioned by Chairman Taylor, Mr..

Super readnaught Oklaho-
ma Was Launched at
Philadelphia
SISTER SHIP NOW
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Miss Lorena Jane Cruce
Was Sponsor for the
Launching

Philadelphia, Pa, March 24.-The SUI
per- dreadnaught Oklahoma, one OF the
largest ard most powerful American
hAttleships ahoat, was launched yester-
day from the yard of the New York
Shipbuilding company at Camden, N. j.,
in the presence of large number OF
invited guests. The giant sea fighter
was given her name by Miss Lorena
Jane Cruce, daughter of the governor
of Oklahoma, who crashed bottle OF
champagne against the prov of the ship
as the hull began to glide into the Della
ware river. Surrounding the christen-
ing party were the secretary OF the navy
and Mrs. Daniels; Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, members of the congressional
naval committees, United States Sena-
tors Owen and Gore of Oklahoma, mem
bers from that state in the national
House of Representatives, state officials
and other Oklahoma naval officers and
invited guests from number of eastern
cities made up the remainder OF the
party. Governor Cruce of Oklahoma
was detained at home on account of
political conditions in his state. Tugs
warped the great hull into dock near
the Argentine battleship Moreno, and
the Chinese cruiser Fie Hung. The for
mer of these is nearly ready for trial
trip. Officers of the Argentine and Chi
nese navies were interested spectators
at the Launching of the Oklahoma.
A sister ship, the Nevada, is under
construction at Quincy, Mass. Only the
Pennsylvania, building at Newport
News, and the still nameless battleship
No. 80, the keel of which was laid last
week at the New York navy yard, will
outstrip the Oklahoma in tonnage, dis
placement, length or the power of her
great guns. The length of the new giant
seafghter is $50 feet, and her displace-
ment will be 1880 tons, or 500 tons
greater than the largest American fight
ing ship now afoat.
In both armament and armor the Ok
lahoma is far ahead of any present
American ship. Her principal weapons
will be ten l4-inch guns, capable of
firing shell weighing 400 pounds. A
feature of the armament will be the
placing of three of these guns in one
turret One of three-gun turrets will
be on the forecastle deck along with a
turret Of two big guns. Another two
gun tIrret will be on the quarterback
and astern of this will be another turret
with the remaining three l4-inch guns.
About the big warship will also be
distributed twenty-one fve-inch guns

Denver, March 24.--"Mother" Mary
Jones, labor leader, returned to Trinidad
Sunday night. Governor Ammons said
he had issued no instructions for her ar
rest, but said he feared her presence in
Trinidad at this time would result in
bloodshed.

Denver after three months imprison-
ment in San Rafael hospital. At the
time she declares she was deported and
vowed that she would return to Trinidad
at once and urge her boys to fight, and
to encourage the wives of the striking
miners" Originally Mother" Jones was
arrested in Trinidad because Governor
Ammons and Adiutant General Chase
deemed it unwise for her to be at lib
erty in the strike zone, where they be-
lieved her presence would incite the
strikers to riot.
Attorneys for the United Mine Work
ers of America sought Mother" Jones'
freedom on writ OF habeas corpus, for
which they petitioned the state supreme
court to take original jurisdiction. This
petition was denied and Immediately a
similar petition was filed in the district
court at Trinidad, and denied.
The day the appeal from the district
judges opinion was to have been heard
in the supreme court in Denver.
" Mother" Jones came to Denver in com
pany with Colonel Davis of the national
guard. She claimed she was forcibly
taken from her prison and released so
the appeal could not be heard since she
was no longer prisoner

which mob of more than 700 men par
ticipated with flying stones and bullets,
brought death to one youth and wounds
to many when an attack was made yes

guards on the train. Shortly after the
attack began another unidentified youth
was shot through the leg and several of
the strikers sustained minor wounds.
Many of the guards and strikebreakers
on the train We're manned by flying
rocks.
A huge pile of brick and ties on the
tracks stopped the work train near the
eompany's yards, and as soon as it came
to standstill the men closed in. Many
of them had pistols, and bullets flew
thick and fast into the cars, while the
strikebreakers, terror-stricken, erouched
on the floors to escape the hail OF lead.
Within a minute the guards got into
action, firing squarely into the crowd.

broke and ran.

rushed to the scene of the ARRAY, as
further trouble WAS feared. Over 1000

in the cars, none of the strikebreakers in
the train was seriously hurt, but many
were cut by flying glass and few were
hit by, stones or bricks flung through the
car windows.

plant drafted papers yesterday TO be
presented to supreme court Justice,
urging that the militia be called out.
Sheriff Becker says he has enough men

FOREIGN COMMERCE
HIGH WATER MARK
Was Reached BY United States in 1918,
According to Figures Prepared
BY Department of Com
MERGE

Washington, ID. G., March 24.--Aceord-
/ ing to the department of commerce, the
foreign commerce of the United States
made its highest record in the fiscal year
1913. Imports, both free and dutiable
were larger than ever before, and ex-
ports. both domestic and foreign, were
also the largest on record. Imports were
100000, against $l,654, 100000 in
the fiscal year 1912, and exports were
g, 100000, against S2,204,000,000 in
1912.
The changing character of our foreign
commerce is illustrated by a COMPARE
son OF the figures of 1913 with those OF
earlier years. Imports show in recent
years a much more rapid gain than ex-
ports. While imports increased but 81
per cent in the 20-year period from 1880
TO 1000, they increased ll3 per cent in
the shorter period from 1900 to 1913.
On the other hand. exports, which in.
creased 81 per cent in the 20-year period
from 1880 to 1900, gained only IL per
cent in the period from 1900 to 1918.
Imports formed in 1900, 37.S per cent,
and in 1918, 42.4 per cent OF the total
foreign commerce. Foodstuffs imported
in 1900 aggregated 1921 100000 and. in
1913, $406000,000; manufacturers raw
materials imported increased during the
same time from s276,000,000 to $685.
100000. an increase of 1854, 100000 in
the value of foodstuffs and raw mate
rails imported during this period. On
the other hand, foodstuffs exported dur
ing the period under consideration show
decline of $44000,000, and raw mate
rails an increase OF S406,000,000, a net
increase of but $3.50, 100000 in food
stuffs and raw materials exported, COM

in foodstuffs and raw materials import.

In manufactures, however, the growth
in exports has exceeded that in imports.
