ever ready to answer calmly and fear

human hearts-the come away, come
away whispered by the angel of

And now that the last sermon rites
are over, now that they have left her
sleeping where she had rather lie

He will go back to the old haunts, he
will take his stand in the old places;
duty will make her insistent demands;
events will crowd upon him; familiar
figures will come and go; the whole
wide world will watch him. But be-
cause his heart is empty, because the
light Of love has gone out, because no
gentle hand meets his grasping one,
because no loved voice with cadence
of courage comes to him out of the
whelming silence, he is alone.
And through all the years to come,
through the drift and drive of cyclonic
events, he will be alone save for the
ineffable influence, the invisible pres

, foreign trade is concerned, no ships
and no shipbuilding. We have ship
building and ships for the coastwise
trade, simply because that is an Amer
lean monopoly; foreign vessels may
, not engage in it at all. Mr.. Hardy
would remove part of the restriction
| against that participation.
1t is easy enough to understand why
the shipbuilders want the old law un
changed. 1t gives them monopoly
of building ships for the coast trade
1t is not quite so plain why the ship
owner cares. The real reason is that
the shipowner who has bought yes
sells at high American prices, doesn't
want cheap foreign built ones admit
ted to compete with him.
The American-built ship has a mo
! nopoly in domestic trade; therefore
our flag flies over that shipping. The
American must compete with world
full of cheaper vessels, the minute il
goes into foreign trade; therefore il
doesn't go into foreign trade.
A half-hearted permission to foreign
built vessels to assume American reg
istry was extended in the Panama
canal act. But it was only half-heart
ed; it extended only to ships not oveI
five years old, and even to them il
did not give the right that Mr. Hardy
now wants to grant; that is, the priv
ilege, when en- route in foreign trade
to carry traffic between American
ports.
The extent and nature of the coast
wise shipping combination are now
pretty well understood. 1t is pretty
nearly alright, and it's relations with
the powerful railroad lines are such
as to insure the least incentive to com
petition and rate-reduction. In all the
circumstances there Is no excuse fol
further dilly-dallying with the problem
Right now the country needs ships
They must be had, or commerce will
be Frustrated. The crops cannot be de
livered to a world clamoring for them
without ships.

If KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS
AND NEUTRALlZE iRRITAT-
ING ACIDS.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this scid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes some
times with scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize 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 acids of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.
Tho Century Drug store sells Jad
Salts.

MRS. WILSON,.

There is pause in the nations
life; there is a silence brooding with
wide stretched, somber wings over the
nations heart.
For slowly and solemnly, it its last
resting place is being borne all that
was mortal Of the first lady Of the
land. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is being
laid to rest under the blue Georgian
skies that sheltered her childhood.
Flowers covers the casket and bind
the edge of the grave; the great organ
softens its pealing note to a whisper
of music, seeming to sob in unison
with the grief-stricken hearts gathered
about the bier. From the altar comes
the sure prophecy of immortality, and
the fower-sweet air stirs and thrills
with singers voice promising "peace,
perfect peace"
Here ends life well spent; here is
turned down the last leaf in a record
that has nothing to hide. Biographers
will say of her that she was intellec-
tual and cultured; that she had the in
spiration of an artist and the soul of
a philanthropist. But after all is said
and done, what finer epitaph could be
written than to say of her the simple
truth: A noble woman, faithful wife.
a devoted mother.
In the days to come, when the funer-
al flowers have faded and the organ
notes have died into unbroken silence,
that Is how the American people will
think of her; that is the votive offer
ing they will keep green on the grave
Of the departed first lady Of the repub-
lie. If the social world knew but little
of her, it was because she answered

THE SHIPPING QUESTION
From The Washington Times.

Whether the war shall be long or
short, whether the effect on American
industry and commerce shall be more
or less serious than is now anticipated,
it is certain to bring a clearer vision
and a more purposeful consideration
of merchant marine policy.
For many years our foreign trade
has increased while the merchant ship
ping under our flag has decreased To-
day, with four billions in annual for
eign trade, we have almost no Ameri-
can bottoms in which to carry it. We
pay tribute to the maritime countries
everywhere for carrying our imports
hither and our exports hence.
The argument has been that "if the
to be given the job" has suddenly lost
its force. The foreigner cannot do it
cheaper. He cannot do it at ALL He
hopes that later he will be able to I'M
dertake it; but this stupendous fact
suddenly stares us in the face:
THE AMERICAN FLAG TODAY
OFFERS GREATER SECURITY TO
.. COMMERCE THAN ANY OTHER
FLAG ON EARTH.
We dare not trust our shipping to
the foreigner. He cannot protect and
command respect for it as we could do.
Yet we have no ships eligible to sail
under the one flag that we could trust
That is a situation to demand atten-
ton; and it is getting it.
Congressman Hardy of Texas, long
a close student of this shipping prob
lem, yesterday introduced bill which,
while not attempting to handle the
whole problem. deals with one phase
of it in a sensible way. 1t provides
that vessels of foreign build, but Amer
lean registry, may hereafter carry car
go between American ports, when on
voyages between American and for.
eign points.
At present, for purposes OF explana-
ton, a vessel of this class from Liver
pool to Galveston would not be per-
mitted to stop at New York or any
other American port and take on ship
ments for Galveston. On the way back
from Galveston to Liverpool it would
not be allowed to distribute freight to
points along our coast. 1t can do bust
ness only with one port. Mr.. Hardy
proposes to remove this restriction
and permit these vessels to do coast
wise business among our ports, Incl
dent to the voyage between American
and foreign ports.
Mr.. Hardy has long maintained that
there are just two proper ways to de-
velop the American merchant marine.
One is to permit full American regis
try to ships, wherever and whenever
built: the other, to have the govern
ment buy, build and operate mer-
chant marine
1t being now pretty thoroughly es-
tablished that this country will not
stand for subsidy, Mr.. Hardy Is about
right. II costs about twice as much
to buy an American-built ship as for
eign-built one. But the buyer Of the
American ship gets no benefits to COM
pensate him for his excessive expendi-
ture; he has the world to compete
with as soon as he goes into foreign
