Reason for Action

The announcement issued from the
Morgan offices stated that the action
Of the British and French governments
was taken out of regard for the at
titude adopted against the sale by the
Federal Reserve Board. The surprise
was heightened by the fact that all
arrangements for the. offering had
been perfected.
Other Plans Under Way
Other plans to finance the pressing
needs of the British and French gov
ernments are already underway, it is
believed, but they have not reached a
definite stage. A member of the Nor
gan firm informally stated that no
other plans had been formulated, but
it was learned from reliable sources
that the denial had been made as a
matter of policy. The plans under con-
temptation, it is intimated, will involve
a large amount Of dollar credits
available to Great Britain if not to her
chief ally.
British institutions and private in
yestors still retain large amounts OF
American securities, although they
have been largely modified by the
British treasury. There have been nc
cancellations of orders for war sup
plies or any other materials to the
countries of the Entente Allies. accord
inc to the bankers acting for those IN
terests and no appreciable diminution
of orders is expected.

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots Of Water and Stop Eating
Meat for While II the Bladder
Bothers You.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison. else you feel dull misery In
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. 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 sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is

RAISINS A VALUABLE FOOD
Their Valu Is Too Frequently Ignored
Some Breakfasts That Are
Little Different.

Try combining for breakfast prunes
or raisins, cooked, drained and
mashed and slightly sweetened, with
an omelet, spreading cupful of them
on them before folding over Dried
apples which have been soaked and
we'll drained may be fried like fresh
apples and served with the bacon A
pound of dates cooked with a pint of
cornmeal, a teaspoonful of salt, ia
blespoonful of flour and pint of cold
milk will vary the morning mush. A
cupful OF stoned, chopped dates is an
agreeable addition to apple sauce,
added when the apples are almost
cooked. Baked apples are delicious il
the centers are filled with stewed
prunes. If cooked prunes or dates are
chopped fine they may be added to
the breakfast mullins, thus giving va
riety to an everyday dish. Many a
child who will not eat a cereal in the
morning can be tempted to do so il
chopped dates or figs are allowed to
simmer few minutes and then mixed
with the cereal, or placed around it.
Don't leave your raisin jar on the
shelf, using it only occasionally. for
this most valuable dried fruit will
supply elements necessary to health at
a minimum cost. When properly
baked in bread they are almost ideal
food for children.-Woman's World.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax

a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.

So many rumors have been circu.
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
Of Finance, Of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor'
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-Quarter to the Govern.
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other com
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and com
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged in agri
culture or stock raising, are exempt
and pay no part of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro
posed ID an increase OF fifty cents a
barrel In the customs duty on apples,
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.

that the whole policy is to place the

able to pay it. and to encourage farm

farmers and stock-raisers from the tax

MIXED FRUIT RECIPES
AN ADVANTAGE IN

1t is often a decided advantage to
the housekeeper to make jelly out of a
combination of fruits-sometimes be-
cause the combined flavor may be
preferable to either alone and some
times because 1t may be more eco
nomical, as, for instance, when she
has too little of either fruit to use for
this purpose, or, to cite another in
stance, when she wishes to extend
the flavor of some special fruit as

of material less highly favored. as

advantage in both flavor and color, as
when cranberry is combined within

An excellent combination for home
