OF Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass Of water

ing board,' but provided that half OF
the total service of every naval Off
Ger must be spent in actual sea duty.
The demand of the intermountain
country for an adequate navy was
voiced by Senator Smoot of Utah in
an amendment which would appro-
pirate $50, 100000 for the construction
of so submarines of the seagoing
type to have a surface speed Of not
