Today's oldest Story.

Portland, Ore, April 12.-Thou-
sands of gorgeously plumagod Chi
nese pheasants, infesting the high
ways and byways of this city today,
are making life burden for Port
land housewives and property own
ers. Apparently they belong to no
cne in particular. Game laws and
anti-firearm city ordinances prevent
their slaughter, so the birds continue
to rip out spring gardens, fly through
windows into the bosoms of families
and play hob generally. Mayor Albee
has refused S. J. Claridge and other
citizens permission to shoot the pleas
ants, but has instructed the police
force members to "shoo' the critters
away as much as possible.

SALT IN HOT WATER
CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN
Says We Must Make Kidneys
Clean the Blood and Pim-
pies Disappear

Pimples, sores and boils usually result
from taxins, poisons and impurities
which are generated in the bowels and
then absorbed into the blood through
the very duets which should absorb only
nourishment to sustain the body.
1t is the functions of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impurities
which often break out all over the skin
in the form Of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin Of
these eruptions, says noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces Of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass Of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
of toxins in the bowels. 1t also stimu-
lates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood OF
impurities and clearing the skin Of
pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia. Here
Won have a pleasant, effervescent drink
which usually makes pimples disappear;
cleanses the blood and is excellent for
the kidneys as well.

WHY DO YOU SUFFER
PAINFUL TWINGES !
Backaches, Headaches, Lumbago and
Rheumatic Pains Quickly Disap-
pear Before New Remedy.

1t is no longer necessary for any one
to suffer without effort to cure with
headachy, all rundown feeling that is
often the result of kidney trouble.
1t is no longer necessary for you to
contend without treatment with dis.
agreeable bladder and urinary disorders
or be tortured with rheumatism, stiff
or swollen joints or the heart-wrenching
miseries that follow as result of ne
elected or poorly working kidneys.
Solvax is designed to quickly and sure
ly relieve such troubles.
Solvax is a wonderful discovery that
has always been so widely successful
that every package is sold under a posi-
tive guarantee to refund the money if
it does not relieve the worst case of
kidney disorder,
-"Your money back if you want it, :"
is the way all the best druggists are
selling this great kidney remedy. A
guarantee like that speaks eloquentlY
for the merit of Solvax.
Do not suffer another minute until
you see if Solvax will not relieve you.
If it doesn't, tell the druggist that that
you want your money back and he will
cheerfully refund it. Sold in Salem by
Daniel j, Fry and other leading dealers.

MORE MONEY FOR
BATTLESHIP YARDS
Increase sed Appropriations
Pass House After Turnullu-
GUS Debate

Washington, Feb. 7.-After three
ours Of tmmultuous debate, q bill pro-
,iding a $4,000 appropriation for in
crease in the blttleship building facil-
tiles of the New York and Mare Is
land navy yards was passed by the
house this afternoon. AS roll call
was not demanded, no test was had on
the opposition to preparedness plans.
Fiye-sixths Of the appropriation goes
to the Mare Island yard and the bal
ance to New York. The money is in
tended for new ways on which to build
two new dIeadnaughts authorized last
year.
The debate on this measure and on a
bin to increase the number of Annap-
oils naval academy cadets grew partic-
ularly fiery at times and was regarded
as the first open shrmish in the pre-
plredness battle. During the mixup,
Speaker Clark left mis- chair and said
from the floor;
"Isn t there any way of expeditng
the present slow and polty plan Of
shipbuildingl Why hash t the navy
department decided which types are
best and then proceeded to build on
the same plans without wasting eight
or ten months to draw new plans each
time. -
"Uncle Joe" Cannon took a aand in
the fray by declaring that if there is n
crisis in the nation 8 afafirs he is
ready to increase taxes, borrow money
and spare no expense in rushing pre-
paredness work.
Chairman Fitzgerald Of the house
appropriations committee asked Cannon
if he were criticising President Wilson
as shamming an emergency.
''The question Of immediate need
exists in the minds of many retort-
ed Cannon. ~ hope I am not guilty
of lese majestic in inquiring."
During the discussion, Chairman
Padgett Of the naval committee prom
ised to draw mp n navy bill that will
peep faith with the house and the
country. He declared, too, that there
viii be full and free opportunity to in
crease the building provisions.
Representative Gardner, Massachus-
etts republican, challenged padgett Is
statement that the United States navy
ranks third among the navies Of the
world, saying; 1.-THE navy depare.
ment tonnage register at the begin
ming of the war showed that it was
! fourth.
"But it was not fourth in fighting
efficiency retorted Padgett. FTon.
mage was the only factor"
representative Hensley, "little

ing the increase of the navies Of the
belligerents since the war started, and
he declared that rating the American
navy as fourth is threfore only guess
work.
"Gf what the president has said !,
true, " interposed Representative Kel
/ ly, ''and / do not believe he is mis-
leading the people in this time Of pro
found danger we should rush our G'
ships, now building, to completion.
Secretary Daniels expects to put ex
ira shifts on in the spring to complete
the battleship California" Padgett
announced.
Minority Leader Mann urged the
speeding up Of plans for increase OF
the navy, and again voiced his approx
