 The company has taken a long lease on the new Earle building, 1918 and 1920 First avenue. and It Is proposed to make this a model department sstore in every respect.

 We have just closed a long lease for the new building on First avenue. said MT. Johnson yesterday. and will open We believe we have made h wise selection in going to First avenue. It ought to be natural retail street.

 The indications are the city will take favorable action. It is known that Com. missioner Weatherly, who has not been able to endure the smoke of BirminG- ham, will oppose annu,lment. It is thought. however, that Commissioner Lane is in favor of every man securing an opportunity to work following long period of enforced likeness. Commis- sioner Ward it is believed, will stand against the contract.
 The president of the commission de- clined to be interviewed yesterday, bur he did state that he had never gone to any great extreme in protesting against an alleged smoke nuisance"

Health Bulletin No. 93. issued by the Pot

Health Bulletin No. 93. issued by the Pot
ter County Board OF Health.
Diphthcria is very infectious
and is caused by bacillus which
affects the mucous membrane of
the upper air passages. This
membrane becomes grayish white
and grows rapidly. Its presence
sometimes, mechanically, causes
suffocation.
Every case of sore throat with
whitish deposit is not diphtheria,
nor does the absence of deposits
always Indicate the absence of
diphtheria, and no better illustra-
tion of the adage, ''Familiarity
breeds contempt" is found than
the tendency of many people to
pay little or no attention to the
common complaint ''sore throat"
AS a matter of fact, neglect Of a
sore throat is no. only unwise, but
may result fatally. Therefore,
under these circumstances, every
case of sore throat, should have a
culture" taken and Ly this means
remove all question of doubt or
suspicion as to the true nature Of
the disease. Ii the result of the
''culture" indicates the presence of
the. diphtheria germ, no time
should be lost in applying the
remedy, which is now SO uniyer-
sally recognized, even by the laity.
as being almost specific. If the
patient presents clinical symptoms
of diphtheria, it is advisable to
administer antitoxin promptly,
without waiting to confirm the
diagnosis bacteriological'y.
Diphtheria antitoxin is admins
tered by hypodermic injections in
the tissues of the shoulder, abdo-
men or hips. Many persons be-
live that the use of antitoxin tends
to increase the chances of paraiy-
sis of the heart, which not lnfre-
quently is the immediate cause of
death in this disease. This is a mis-
take, and no doubt many lives have
been sacrificed because of this fool
ish belief. Before the introduction
of the antitoxin treatment of the
disease great numbers of persons
died from heart paralysis. When
death occurs now from this cause
it may usually be attributed to the
fact that the remedy was admins
tered either too late or in an insult
ticient amount to prevent the com
plication. The earlier it is given
the greater the chances are for
quick recovery without complica-

a question that must have oc-
Cured to many of our Church peo-
pie who are conscientious in their
stewardship is ''What effect will
the war have upon missionary
giving:" The reply is THAT de-
pends upon how fully we believe
in our missionary work. There is
only one agency which can abolish
war, and that is the PRONUNCIATION
and practice by nations as we'll as
individuals, of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. 1t is God only who can
''make wars to cease in all The
world.' If, realizing it's horrors,
we desire to work for its abolish
ment, we certainly will not regard
curtailment of income as an excuse
for failing to spread the Gospel of
the Prince of Peace. In proper
tion to our ability, our gifts for
the extension Of Gods Kingdom
are small indeed; perhaps hard
ship or loss NAV make some of us
realize the truth.
Bishop Whi1 pie used to tell a
story which in this connection will
point moral. He called upon a
great New York merchant. noted
for his generosity to Christian en-
terprises, and was given an oppor-
tunity of presenting the needs of
his work in Minnesota. The mer-
chant received him in his private
Office and listened with interest and
sympathy to his appeal. When
the bishop had finished he turned
to his desk, and, writing a check.
handed it to the bishop, who of
course received it without glancing
at its face and expressed his thanks
for the assistance rendered. At
that moment an anxious attendant
hurried in, bringing a telegram.
The merchant read it with evident
perturbation, Thought moment and
and turning to the bishop said;
"Tbis message brings me the news
of the loss of my finest ship with
all her cargo. 1t is a severe blow.
| must ask you to be good enough
to return the check which | lust
gave you" With sinking heart
the bishop took from his pocket
book the bit of folded paper which
which meant so much to him and
returned it to the donor, who tore
it across and threw the pieces in
to the waste basket. The mer
chant again turned to his desk, and
writing quickly in his check book
he handed the bishop second slip
of paper, saying, ''If had gone
on giving to God in the same ratio
that | have been doing. | should
not deserve to have vessel left
aioat!" Of course the good bishop
never knew the amount of the
first check, but the second one
was the most generous he had
ever received.

GLASS OF SALTS IF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy
or Have Bladder Trouble

Meat forms uric acid which eXcites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve the bowels:
removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel a dull misery in
the kidney region. sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment: the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive, harmless and makes
delightful effervescent lithia water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases.

actual worth of goods before they were put
aboard ship Russia and France needed supplies
so badly that they wasted money in their frantic
efforts to get these quickly. It was harvest time
for all sorts of commissioners, brokers, middle
men, direct agents, special representatives and
other buyers.
The British Government the first to
adopt businesslike policy and appointed the
banking firm of ]. P. Morgan to represent it here
in it's purchases of war supplies. So important
function was this that the house of Morgan
called to it's aid Edward R. Stettinius, president
of the Diamond Match Company, who, with
force of nearly 100 assistants has established an
efficient clearing house for all sorts of war mu-
nitions. The contracts in many cases have been
so large, ranging from $25,00O,0 900 to $75000,000
to companies with working capital entirely in
sufficient for such turnover, that it was neces
sary for foreign governments to pay down be-
tween 10 and Is per cent. of the contract price
when the deal was closed Subsequent payments
were made at frequent enough intervals SO that
acceptance of these contracts did not involve the
raising of new capital. There have been, Of
course, stories of fabulous profits, but on the
later contracts the net results will not be over 10

manufacturers point is in keeping their forces in

Financing War Contracts

The financing of the war-order contracts has
been done through several of the largest bank
ing agencies in the country. When the war had
developed far enough to make it plain that the
United States would have to be drawn on for
supplies foreign governments sent their agents
here to make contracts. Overnight large num-
bers of alleged agents of Great Britain Russia,
and France appeared in New York and began to
receive bids for automobiles, blankets, wearing
apparel and foodstuffs. The first experiences of
the purchasing nations were extremely costly.
Commissions for similar service were frequently
paid several times over and it was reckoned that
as much as so per cent. had to be added to the
