ONE ON SECRETARY DANIELS
Head of the Navy Evidently Not an Expert as to the Odor of
 Alcoholic Liquors.

A story is going the rounds in Washington about Secretary of the Navy Daniels which may or may not reflect credit on that official, accord ing to the point of view. According to this story the secretary was one morning conferring with an officer and in the middle of his conference interrupted the proceedings to say: This is the second morning that have smelled whisky on your breath, sir!"
 To which the officer is said to have replied: q beg your pardon, MT. Sec retary. 1t was whisky yesterday, but it is gin this morning."
 No name has been allowed to leak out in connection with this story, and it may be that there Is more fiction than fact in it.-Boston Transcript

PRES. WILSON OPPOSED
 TO SHIP COMPROMISE
REFUSES TO AGREE TO AMEND. MENT PROPOSED BY HOUSE
 TO POSTPONE ACTION.

shington.-President Wilson re- jected the compromise ship bill evolv- ed by Democratic leaders of the house. He refused to agree to the activities of the government in the shipping business two years after the close of the war.
 Representing the president Post master General Burleson made coun- ter proposition to the leaders. It was that the house combine Senator Cores substitute for the administra- tion bill with a bill by Senator Weeks which already has passed the Senate and which proposes a line of naval auxiliaries to be used for passenger and freight in emergencies at the dis cretion of the secretary of the navy. MT. Burleson said the president would not accept any amendment to destroy the permanent character of the pro- ject
 Democrats who had been working at both ends of the Capitol to get the bill in form acceptable to both the Senate and the House before March were confident it could be passed if the amendment making it a temporary measure were attached. The counter proposal advanced by the postmaster general threw the whole proposition again in the region of uncertainty.
 Representative Kitchin, the house Democratic leader-elect, declared that he would not vote for the bill in the form proposed, but that he had no doubt it could pass the house. The Democrats who favored the temporary amendment feared a resumption of the Republican filibuster were it not attached.
 With the White House proposal as a new basis further negotiations went forward.

DOWN TO BASE OF SUPPLY
Manager of Supply Company Forced to a Compromise With Receipt
 of Large Order.

The tea companies were fighting zach other for the trade of the town. The Bee Tea company gave premiums with each pound of tea, while the Gee Tea company did not. The result was that the latter concern was being pushed to the wall. Finally the Gee Tea people realized that they must give premiums or quit.
 So. after careful consideration, they decided to give a quart of milk with each pound of tea. Business picked up at once.
 q understand you give a quart of milk with each pound of tea" said a lady one day
 Quite right answered the mana ger.
 Well, I'm Mrs. Ketchem of Holden & Starvem. We operate a string of ten boarding houses here. I want 150 pounds of tea. Do get 150 quarts of milk?"
 ''Why-er-I think so," stammered the manager "Will you wait till I go back and look over the supply?"
 In minute he came back.
 Madam" he whispered, q have fig ured up and find that if you will take 200 pounds of tea we can give you a cow"

 T learned the truth about coffee in a peculiar way" says California wom- m. My husband who has, for years, been Of bilious temperament decided to leave off coffee snd give Postum trial, and as did not want the trouble of making two beverages for meals concluded to try Postum, too. The re- suits have been that while my husband has been greatly benefited, have my self received even greater benefit.
 'sWhen I began to drink Postum I was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now I actually weigh Is pounds more than I did at that time and I am stronger physically and in my nerves, while husband is free from all his ails. We have learned our little lesson about coffee and we know something about Postum, too, for we have used Postum now steadily for the last three years and we shall continue to do so.
 We have no more use for coffee the drug drink. We prefer Postum and health"

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
 WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu- traIize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
 for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and infiame. causing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t. because they can't control urina- tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no longer is source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble-Adv.
