WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. c.
The United States will not submit sill
emily to Germany's war zone order.
The government will first Investigate
the accurate text of the two notes that
Germany issued, then take action to
save American commerce from de-
moralization. Thus far the only in
formation the state department has
is warning, not a notice of the
blockade.
If Germany does not offer proper
converts for American ships there un-
doubtedly will be vigorous protest.
High officials indicate that Germany
is bluffing in its establishment of a
virtual blockage without the naval
force to back it up. Germany will
have to take the consequences if it
damages American ships.

GOOD FOR LONG WARM SPELL
Widow Teeter's Opinion of Her De-
parted Husband Evidently Was
Not an Exalted One.

The Widow Teeter's husband had
been dead only few weeks when
there were surface indications that
she was about to marry again.
The late Mr.. Teeter had not been
exactly a model husband, and it was
the general opinion that his death was
stroke of good fortune for Mrs.
Teeter, but still the relatives Of the
deceased thought that his memory re-
qutred a widowhood of at least a year.
When the indications of the approach
ing marriage became apparent, some
Of her late husbands friends waited
On Mrs. Teeter, and one Of them said:
I'VE hear that you are about to
marry again, Lucy ANN"
We'll. I don't know that it is any
Of your business" replied Lucy Ann,
but if it will give you any satisfac-
ton to know the facts, I don't mind
telling you that I shall be a married
woman again in about two weeks"
But Tom has been dead less than
three months, protested another.
We'll, I suppose he's dead as he
ever will be, isn't hep
But, said a third, you ought in
common decency to wait until he is
cold"
wait until Tom Teeter is cold!"

At the Battle Front

British soldiers on the march have
taken a hint from their French broth
ers in arms, and among many thou
sands seen lately up-country in France,
every other man had a long loaf of
bread strapped on the top of his kit.
At many places bakers have had big
contracts, but the soldier buys the
bread for himself as well, and so long
as he can get a great loaf he does not
mind how long he is in the train or
on the road Matches seem no longer
a trouble, and cigarettes, coming in
duty free, are now quite plentiful. RAJ
ton tobacco, too, is taken up by the
officers as being the best obtainable
for pipe smoking. Incidentally, it is
remarkable how some younger men
who were known to be confirmed cigar
cite smokers have taken to the more
rational form of smoking, but a half
grown mustache is just as odd a
sight as to see them sucking at briar
pipe. His friends would scarcely rec
ognize the campaigner as compared
with the nut" of few weeks ago.

GOOD IDEA TO WRITE
MAN WILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH
FAMILY IN FUTURE.
New Jersey Man Had Decidedly IN
pleasant Experience az q Result
of His CareIessness as
Correspondent

Patrick ]. Mcmahon Of Passalc. y.
J., walked recently into a saloon he
had conducted in that city and was
served with a drink by his son, who
failed to recognize him. The reason
was that Mcmahon, Sr., had disap-
peared from home eight years before
and had been given up as dead.
He asked his son a number Of ques-
tons about his own disappearance and
and the family pedigree, all Of which
were answered without the sons real
izing he was being quizzed by a man
who knew the answers to the questions
better than he did. When Mcmahon,
ST., revealed himself the son felt
sheepish for a. week
James Osborn Of Trenton, n. J., had
an odd temperance a few months
ago. He went to Australia to look up
the disposition of an uncle's estate in
which he thought he should have had
share. While he was in Melbourne
he noticed in one of the daily papers
an account of the death of a James
Osborn who had come on from the
United States to look up relatives.
The similarity of the name struck
him, OF course, and he mailed a copy
of the paper with the item marked.
He was never much of letter writer,
so he let five months go by without
sending line, deferring what he had
to say until he should know whether
or not his quest had been successful.
Finally after nearly eight months so
Journ in Australia he arranged to start
back, and wrote to his family.
When he arrived in Trenton he
found that his little wall paper bust
ness had been sold out and that his
wife and daughter had removed, no
body seemed to know whittier. But a
clue soon came to view.
Osborn filed out check against his
account and it was returned with the
mo funds" comment An investigation
revealed that every cent he had in the
bank had been withdrawn by his wife,
she having had power Of attorney dur
ing his absence. The bank officials,
however, were able to give him the
address of a Chicago bank where they
thought from something dropped by
his wife she would deposit her money.
He telegraphed and received word to
come on at once. He did so, and found
his wife and daughter.
They had received the Melbourne
paper, had cabled and had got no re-
spouse, and finally believed the re-
port true. A Chicago sutton for his
daughters hand urged their removal
to Chicago and they had sorrowfully
left their home in Trenton.
While they were hugging and staring
at Osborn the letter carrier delivered
his letter announcing his departure
from Australia. 1t had been forward
ed from Trenton. Now Osborn says
that a man should write at least once
a week when away from home if it's
only to say 0, and good-by.

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KiDNEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec

If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot OF drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild. harmless salts which re-
moves the bodys urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood In "a hours they
strain from 1t 500 grains of acid and
waste, &c we can readily understand
the vital importance OF keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
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 clean and
stimulate clogged Kidneys also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and thea to keep
their kidneys clean and active Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

Claim Pronhecv Fulfilled

A conference of Bible students held
recently at Keswick, N. j., revived an
ancient prophecy concerning Egypt,
the literal fulfillment OF which, they
asserted, has been borne out in his
tory. The prophecy is found in Eze-
kiel xxx. 1915 and Xxx. i3. Part
of it reads as follows: ct shall be
the basest of Kingdoms, neither shall
it exalt itself any more above the
nations, for l shall diminish them that
they shall no more rule over the ma
tons and there shall be no
more a prince of the land Of Egypt;
and I will put fear in the land Of
Egypt" Since this prophecy was
written, said one Of the speakers,
Egypt has been ruled by the Babylo-
mans, the Romans and the Turks,
and now it has passed under the abb
solute sway Of England. Yet Egypt
once was the greatest and richest of
the worlds nations
