The fact was apparent that SEN
timent in the wheat pit had under
gone complete reversal from the
day before.
Turbulent Opening.
One of the most turbulent open
ings since the war began was wit
messed in the wheat pit. 1t seemed
as if the crowd almost to man was
rushing to buy on the assumption
that peace was yet far distant and
that the recent severe breaks in price
were based on ruinous mistake as
to the outlook. Like flash all Of
ferings to sell were grabbed at by
hundreds of nearly frantic brokers,
and the buying stampede continued
until the volume of transactions had
reached a huge aggregation. The
French victory in the Verdun district
added to the vehemence of purchas-
ers, but some degree of caution be-
gan to be manifest when the rise was
approaching II cents.
Brief Reactions.
Reactions, however, proved brief,
and the bulls were in a strong drive
again during the last hour, when at
tention was focused largely on Wash

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally if
You Eat Meat
Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for gen.
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it nc
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which al
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clear
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

U. S. NOW CREDITOR NATION
SECRETARY M'ADOo REPORTS
Secretary Of Treasury in Report tc
Congress Tells of Record Gold
SuppIy-The Federal Reserve
Banks Big Help-Predicts
Big Deficit in 1918.

Washington - Secretary McAdoo's
annual report of the governments fl
nances, presented to congress recent
ly, estimates that the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1917, will show balance
of $115 100000 in the general fund, but
that the figures year later-June 80,
191S-will show a deficit in the gen
eral fund of $1S5,O00,0O0.
Preliminary estimates place the cost
of conducting the government for the
coming fiscal year 1918, exclusive Of
the postal service, which is expected
to be self-sustaining and other deduc-
tons, at $1,27S,021,0 1000. The ordinary
receipts for the fiscal year 1918 he es-
Inmates at 995,550,0 900, which is $780,
Al, ZOO less than the estimated ex-
penses.
Estimates of large expenditures for
national defense carry the estimated
outlay beyond the estimated income.
Regarding the country's financial
strength, the report says:
"The financial strength of the Unit
ed States-the greatest in our history
gives us a commanding position in
world finance. We have been trans
formed from debtor into a creditor
nation. On November 1, 1916, the
stock of gold coin and bullion in the
United States was estimated at $4,000,
136.976, an increase of $714,597,8O4 in
the last 16 months This is the larg
est stock of gold ever held in the Uni
ted States or in any other country Of
the world. Through the operations Of
the federal reserve system and with
our abundant supply of gold as ba
sis, the credit resources of the United
States have become ore than suffi
cient for home demand, and we have
been able to finance our great domes
tic and foreign trade without strain

and to extend vast amounts of credit
to other nations throughout the world
"The increasing strength and eff,
ficiency of the federal reserve banks
have enabled them to enlarge their
direct service to the business COM
munity through the Introduction of
definite and comprehensive system for
par clearance of checks throughout
the country"
Mr.. McAdoo points out that for the,
year the value of imports was about
$484, 100000 greater than the previ-
589, $40 greater
