DENIES FREEDOM TO THAW
Ordered Sent Back to Matteawan by
Justice Page-Saved by Habeas
Corpus Writ.

New York, March 17.-Another
long legal battle over Harry Thaw
was made certain yesterday when
Justice Page in the supreme, follow
ing Thaw's acquittal Saturday of the
charge of conspiring to escape from
Matteawan, ordered Thaw returned
to the hospital for the criminal insane
under the original commitment from
Justice Bowling.
Thaw had demanded that he be re-
turned to New Hampshire, from which
state he was extradited for trial on
the conspiracy charge. Losing there,
he won on another point, however,
when his counsel, anticipating an ad-
verse decision by Justice Page, OBJ
tanned from Justice BLUR of the SUI
preme court a writ of habeas corpus,
returnable Friday. Meantime Thaw
must be kept in. the Tombs prison
1t was a close call for Thaw, since
plans had been considered by the
state for returning him at once to
his long time residence at Matteawan.
Asylum attendants were in the court
room ready to rush him there by mo-
tor car the moment the motion for a
return to New Hampshire was denied
But the writ of habeas corpus served
half an hour before on Warden Han
ley of the Tombs prevented this.

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM
EATING TOO MUCH MEAT
Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative tis-
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys 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 flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine SO it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent Whitewater drink, and nobody
can make mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.-Adv

Washington, March 16.-The United
States will vigorously protest Eng
lands latest shipping order. Off
Gals say that it is a fragrant violation
of international law and of the rights
of neutrals. Failure to specifically
proclaim a blockade to be maintained
by ships of war off Germany's sea
ports is declared to make the "order
in council as issued. in London a dis
tinct violation of the treaty rights of
the United States with both France
and England.
Summed up, officials interpreted the
British order as meaning that without
enforcing a blockade on the German
coast itself, but by stopping Amer
lean ships anywhere on the high seas,
cargces destined for Germany would
be taken into prize courts for inter
minable litigation.
This would particularly affect the
shipment of cotton and other articles
higherto listed as non-contraband and
would prevent also the importation OF
dyestuffS from Germany, so necessary
for American industries
Perhaps more displeasing to officials
than any other part of the British or
American commerce consigned to neu-
trail countries and suspected of enemy
