The report is elaborate, and at the same each of the 13 camps. the amount of road and bridge material used by the convicts together with all items incident to the maintaining and caring for the convicts Stress is laid on the fact that the y4la cents per day represents exactly what all the convicts including the physically dis abled, the sick and others disqualifcd, cost the county divided by the number of days that all the convicts actually worked. In other works it represents the cost of work them a day on the county roads instead of maintaining them for 8 day.
 The report also shows the total number of days available by the convicts for the period of six months to be- 50,3S0. with l4,SS5 days, which represents Sundays. holidays. the time of the flunkies around the camp and all convicts crippled, sick or for any cause unable to work leaving balance of 25,3s2 days available anl which were actually put in by the convicts on road or bridge work.
 The cost sheet in detail varies as the diff ferent camps according to the number cf men at each camp and according to the class of work they are performing How ever, from the above recapitulation of the items that go to make up each item of cost that could possibly be charged to the convict cost incident to putting them on an equal basis with free labor shows a cost per day for a convict at work on the road to be 94h cents.
 The recapitulation cost sheet of all the camps is self explanatory, at the same time 1t might be well to mention that the same includes all of the overhead ex- pense. including the superintendent, re- capturing escaped convlcts, depreciation on camp equipment, salaries and board of all guards, court fees and officers on convicts after they have worked out their cost, physician and all other items that represent any expenditure made towa~d defraying the expense of the convict sys- tenn that would not have to be spent were all free labor used

According to the monthly report and cost sheet of the county convict de- partment the convicts of Jefferson county are worked on the roads and maintained at a cost of 94 1-2 cents per day. The figures in the report are in striking contrast to the claims made before the legislative committee hay ing in charge the bill to remove the state conyicts from the mines. Instead of costing the county from $250 to $3 per convict per day as stated before the committee, the report shows the actual cost to be less than 95 cents. This includes overhead expenses, de- preciation of camp equipment, guards, feed, physician, court fees, clothing and drugs.
 The cost sheet prepared and submitted covers the six months period from Jan uary 1, 1915, to June 3O 1915, and is very complete. It Is also very easy to under stand. There is no juggling of figures every item being set forth in plain fig ures and so arranged that the totals for each particular department can easily be determined.
 The average number of convicts in the l2 convict camps is about 300. This gives the total of convict days at 5O,3s0 The reports shows the total convict working days to be 35, 492
 The charge has sbeen made that the convicts were costing the county about $30,O00 a month to work and maintain them. The report of the actual cost shows that for the first six months of this year the cost monthly was not much more than third of that figure.

Lane submitted % President Wilson yes
terday the report of the Alaskan en-
gineering commission on its surveys of
various routes for the government rali-
road which viii be started this spring 10
the interior Of Alaska. Secretary Lane
said negotiations were under way with
the owners of the Copper River g. North
western and the Alaskan Northern rail
roads for the purchase of one of the
other OF them for a linA in the new line
The Copper River road is controlled by a
syndicate in which the Morgan and Gug-
genheim interests are concerned and the
Alaskan Northern is owned principally
by Canadian capital, The principal ques-
ton TO be decided by the president is
whether the government lines shall run
TO the east or 20 the west of Prince Viii
liam sound. This decision hangs largely,
Secretary Lane said, on which part of
the coal fields it was thought best 20
develop at this time and on the cost OF
construction and maintenance for the
two routes. The engineering commission
is now working on figures showing the
costs, and the estimates will be laid soon
before the president. Yesterday Secre-
tary Lane and the president went over

DRINK MORE WATER
If KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for Back
ache or Bladder Trou-
Bile

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys
they become overworked; get sluggish
ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is ir-
ritated and you may be obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night When the kidneys clog, you must
help them flush Off the body's urnous
waste or you'll be a real sick person
shortly. At first you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, you suffer from
backaehe, sick headache, dizziness, stom-
ach gets sour tongue coated, and you
feel rheumatic twinges when the wealth
or is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in
glass Of water before breakfast for
few days, and your kidneys will then
act fine This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to normal activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer is source of irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness,
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
iure; makes delightful, efferycscent,
lithia. water drink, which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble

Fierce Battle in Progress on
Line to the
Frontier
ARMY IN SOUTH
is MENACED
Won Hindenburg's Retreat
Was Forced, Says
Petrograd

London, March ll.-The Germans are
making stubborn stand in the terri
tory bounded by the Bohr and Narew
rivers, the railroad line south from Mia.
wa and the German frontier. A fierce
engagement is now in progress near the
marsh country Of the Bohr in the region
OF Lomza, while Gen. Won Eichhorns
army is hastily retreating from the
Augustowo forest
Russian efforts to dislodge the right
and left TANKS of the forces operating
in the Suwalki region are meeting with
success Only the German center in the
region Of Simno shows any evidence of
deep roofing in the position gained by
the recent East Prussian eruption The
German left flank is reported to have re-
tired to the region of Miriampol, Wir-
ballen and Eidcunen.
The right flank has retreated rapidly
thirty miles from Grodno through boys
toward Augustowo.
The withdrawal of the German right
wing, now within eight miles of the
border, sewers the communication Of the
army of the north with the army of the
south whose left wing is operating
against 0ssowez. The latter army is
exposed to attack by Russian forces adj
yancing between the Bohr and Angus
towo. In this situation the Germans
have already begun to withdraw their
heavy guns from Ossowez. the siege of
which must be raised shortly if the Ger
man army is not to be captured.
The Times Petrograd correspondent
ridicules the claim that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's retreat from the Me
men was prearranged. He says that inn
partial historians will regard it as one
Of the most costly failures in the eastern
theatre Of operations.
Won Hindenburg's retreat, according to
this correspondent, is proceeding in the
most terrible weather and the general
commander has obviously exhausted all
possibilities of the offensive.
Referring to the Bruza pilica fronts.
the correspondent says that western Po-
land will soon be a sea Of mud, as the
rivers are beginning to food Ii is
rumored that the Germans have mounted
heavy guns on the line of Plock Kutno-
Zgierz, as if contemplating retirement I
from the Bzrua and Rawka rivers. The
retirement is wise ii they wish to avoid
Wholesale deaths fs0m disease
The Germans have reason to deplore
the Austrian failure in Galacia even
more than the emptiness Of their own
~ ri
ans have established no leverage for
spring campaign.
Many Austrian municipal police are
among those who have surrendered IN
the Galaeian fighting The entire force
OF city and rural police OF Austria has .
been drafted into the field army, their
places being taken at home by the su-
perannuated In the Carpathians the en-
emy's offensive has been barren OF re-
suits.
