COUNTY TICKET.
THE FIRST DISTRICT MOLE

The Fairniont West Virginian says,
in effect. that Congressman Nicely can,
least. point with pride" to the fact
that he secured a mail box for the Bal.
timore & Ohio depot at that place.
That is certainly going some for a rec.
ord. The Intelligencer regrets to say,
however. that he has not been so &C.
tive In this end of the district For
over two months the Wheeling postof.

with many competent and worthy
Democrats willing. nay anxious. to All

excuse for the extended delay MI

NEW FREEDOMS sHRoUD.

The Congressional Record. generally
dull and insipid. is a rather interesting
journal these days. containing as il
does some definite elements Of the
delinquencies of the Democratic party.
and its failure to keep certain plat.
form pledges. One of the most lucid
contributors TO its pages is Senator
Reed, OF Missouri. a Democrat. who
does not stand in fear OF the President
and his rubber stamp" representa-.
tives. His pronounced opposition TO
the conference report on the admin.
istration's pet measure. the Clayton
bill. has greatly embarrassed the syco-
plant defenders OF the President. Il
Is not the first time he has raised his
voice In that manner. He, with Sena.
tor Hitchcock. of Nebraska. made a
winning fight against the confirmation
OF Harvester Trust Jones for the Re
serve Bank Board. He is now en-
gagged in telling some unpleasant
truths about the hypocrisy Of his own
party. Il has always been contended
by the Republicans that the Sherman
Antitrust Act was sufficient unto the
day and the evil thereof. and that the
Clayton bill attempting to define its
provisions would serve no other pur.
pose than to weaken II. Here Is what

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass Of Salts to Flush
Kidneys if Bladder
Bothers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known author
ity, because the uric acid in meat
excites the kidneys, they become
overworked; get sluggish; clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particular
ly backache and misery in the kid
ney region; rheumatic twinges, Sc
we're headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, of if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. 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
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder disor-
ders
Jad Salts can not injure anyone; !;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions Of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus avoiding serious kidney
disease.-Advt.

TRUST LAWS To

UNTIL AUGUST
Changes to the Trade Commission
Bill in Senate VIII TangIe
Matters Further.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-Congress
viii not be able to adjourn until Au-
gust because of the differences chat
have developed over the American
trust agreement, according TO the pre-
diction to-day of a Democratic mem
her of the House Interstate Commerce
Committee.
He based his statement on the de-
lay in reaching an agreement in the
Interstate Commerce and the Judi
ciary Committees, and on the pros
pect of a stubborn contest in the
House and Senate.
A strong factor in the Democratic
quarrel over the trust regulation
methods is the decision of the Presi ?
dent that the interstate trade com
mission bill shall carry no admins
trative power Not only are the rad -
icsls demanding that an administra-
tive scheme be included in the bill
row being drawn, but business men
are asking the same thing
There is a wide difference of opin-
ION between Chairman Adamson and
Representative Sims, of the Interstate
Commerce Committee as TO the stock
and bond regulation bill.
The judiciary Committee also Is
unable to decide on a policy toward
the proposed exemption of labor
unions and farmers organizations in
the provisions of the Sherman law.
secret caucus of members Of the
House favorable to the labor inter-
ests has voted to insist upon exempt
Ing the unions.
Members OF the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee to-day inti-
mated that the interstate trade
commission bill will be amended by
the committee so as to provide against
unreasonable search and seizure Of
books and records of companies and
corporations. 1t is feared that the
powers given the committee in the
pending bill are so broad as to af-
feet the constitutionality of the
measure.
