Bills Provisions

Az finally agreed to the bill author
ICES the construction in 1917 OF five
battle cruisers, as against two dread
mended by Secretary Daniels, four
scout cruisers, an increase of one scout
over the departments program; 10 de-
stroyers, as against Is recommended;
20 submarines, three to be s00-ton
boats, compared with five fleet and Is
coast defense submarines recommend
ed; one hospital ship, one oil fuel
ship and one ammunition ship. The
gunboat recommended was stricken
out and the fuel and ammunition ships
were added from Secretary Daniels
Total Of s24oooo,ooo
The total amount carried by the bill
is s240, 100000, the largest naval appro-
priation ever presented to Congress
While the appropriation proposed is,
if anything. an increase over the de-
partments plans, failure of the Ave
year program and the tact that no
dreadnoughts were provided for, make
the bill unsatisfactory to administra-
ton officials. Secretary Daniels said
tonight he never lost hope of getting
what he asked for until Congress aa-
journed. 1t was clearly indicated that
the Senate which has not yet :dken up
consideration of the naval bill even in
committee was relied upon to restore
the batatleships. The Senate has never
failed to increase the program for the
navy mapped out by the House and
navy officials are confident that the H.
nal bill will provide for at least two
battleships and four battle cruisers.

followed a caucus of the eight Republic

civilians were killed in an explosion
of a carload of grenades and artil-
lery ammunition in the yards of the
National railroad lines at Monterey,
Mexico, last Tuesday, according to
passengers reaching here from Mon

the Carranza authorities because of
the tension existing between the

sion a mountainous cloud of smoke
spread over the city and the cry:

notwithstanding that a general
misconception was had in regard To
the management Of the state univer-

of that institution, in an address be-
fore the Neenah club here scored crit
les of the university and stated that
it was managed by as efficient an or
ganization as existed in any other de-
partment of the state.
President Van Hise discussed the.
work of the university from every
standpoint, especially the lead 1t had
taken in extension and research work,
the latter doing much in developing
and putting on a higher plane agricul-
tural pursuits throughout the state.
The charge that politics had been
played at the university was vigor-
ously denied. The condition of the
finances of the university were ex-
planned, as were the various miscon-
ceptions that have given rise to the
opinion that the legislature had made
appropriations in excess of other
years.

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM
EATING TOO MUCH MEAT
Take Tablespoonful of Salts 1t Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns us
TO be constantly on guard against kid
uey trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the Overwork;
they get slug 81; the eliminative It's
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 q
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in 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

domestic affairs of the Mexican peo-
pie"

the attitude of the Carranza govern

ported no trouble from the Carranza
forces was to be expected.

WILL FIGHT AGAINST TAX
Appleton Priest Will Carry Assess
ment of Convent TO the Su-

Appleton The question as to
whether convent separated from

ers of the school live in it, can be
taxed, is to be carried to the supreme
court. Appleton and Oshkosh are the
only places in the state where such
tax is applied, it having been added
here for the first time on a ruling
from the state tax commission.
Rev w. j. Mitzmaurice of st.

fore the council and asked that the
tax be revoked. When his request
was refused, acting City Attorney John
