 Prohibition" leaders were asked tc crop their fight against the manu- facture of beer, wine and other light beverages. With a formal response from the "drys"@ deferred, senate lead CTS of all factions quickly reached an understanding to limit absolute pro- hbition to distilled spirits.
 President Wilson exchanged letters with Rev. James Cannon, chairman of the National anti-saloon league legis- lative committee and called senate leaders to the white house, in his ef- forts to harmonize differences and smooth the way for final action on the food measures.
 The "bone dry" legislation was writ ten into the bill before it passed the house and the senate agriculture com mittee amended this provision to pro- hibit the manufacture of distilled spir- its but empowering the president to permit the making of beer and wine.

||AD'1 PENALIzE'W0MEN |FOR FAILURE TO ASSESS
lHerney- General Arbuckle Says Law
 Does Not Require Them to Assess For Poll Tax.

Attorney General John D. Arbuckle n compliance with request of Vern- on Heath, assessor of Pulaski county as to whether women who fail to assess for poll tax could be penalized gave an opinion that they could not.
 Mr. Arbuckle, in his reply to Mr. Heath, said:
 There is absolutely no law requir- ns women to assess and until there ssuch a law such poll tax can not be- come delinquent. The poll tax is an eaurely different and separate tax rom any other tax, either personal or real. and hence, the new assess ment law does not apply to this tax. 1pr the above reason, in the. opinion ol this office, ladies, if assessed at Ii' should be assessed without pen sl.y .a TOT the payment of poll taxes. In ne assessment of. poll taxes against .auies you will take into consideration turner opinions given by this office."

Newspaper Stories of Land ing of Americans Being
 Held Up as a Result.

Washington, Junt 29.-Reports from Mojor-G General Pershing of the landing of American troops in France still are lacking tonight and personal accounts of correspondents on the scene again were held up, to a wait official infor- nation.
 Army officials maintain complete silence as to expedition and plans of further movement of troops.
 Marine corps officers are eager to learn if the regiment of seasoned sol diers under Colonel Doyen was the first to land. The Marines are proud of their record of being the first in the field and are hopeful it has been sustained in this first dispatch of American forces in the war of the world.
 It is possible whole Marine bri- gade will be sent to France. Officers and men want to get to the fighting front.

MEAT CAUSEOF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

II you must have your meat every
day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally. says a noted author
ity, who tells us that meat forms uric
acid. which almost psralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts TO expel IL from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you suffer with a 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 gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutaliZe these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush of
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharma-
Cy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before 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 generations to flush and slim
ulate sluggish kidneys. also TO neutral
ize the acids in urine, so they no Ion
ger irritate. thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia water drink.-Adv.

Teamwork Lacking.

The latest advices from Berlin ex-

action of President Wilson in break
ing off diplomatic relations with Ger
many. Just why such a move is sur
prising in the face of the German
U-boat declaration and the ultimatum
laid before the TeutonS at the time
of the sinking of the Sussex, is in
conceivable. To the people of the
world the Presidents action was in
evitable.
Yet DR.. Zimmerman, the German
foreign secretary, in a recent inter

will be no step backward. He in

by this government last April, when

The German people may not be
aware that their Ambassador, Count
Won Bernstorff, when he heard of the
Presidents action and received his
passports expressed regret and said
he was not surprised and that there
was nothing left for the President to
do. If there was another interpreta-
ton to be placed on the German
note, why should the Ambassador be
in ignorance of it?

Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

National prohibition will never happer
in your time or mine" said Robert Hal
ley. secretary of the National Liquor
Dealers Association, at the New Ma
tional Hotel yesterday. The States can
make themselves just as dry as they
wish without national help. bone-dry
condition is not advocated by the anti
saloon leagues in any of the States.
The league is fighting the bone dry
bills in Michigan and in South Dakota
Their war seems to be against the
saloons. and like many reformers they
do not know what they are doing. Look
at Virginia. They claim the. Old Do.
minion is dry but such is mott the case
IL am correctly informed. As 1 passed
through Virginia yesterday noticed an
array Of dead soldiers at about every
cross-road station that we passed. They
tell me that many OF the people in Vir-
ginia get their quart a month and then
take the stun furnished by boot leggers
or to drinking Florida water and bay
rum.
Prohibition means bad liquor in the
place of good.
Il do not believe that the District will
go dry From what can learn the peo-
pie OF the city do not want 1t to go dry
1 believe that Congress will at least put
this matter to the vote by the people

IF there is a call to arms Tennessea
will respond
Il do not believe Germany will make
war on US Perhaps she thought it would
be good idea to declare war on the
United States for the reason in this event
she would be able openly to come out
and prey on our commerce, but believe
she will come, IL she has not already
come, to her sober senses and let Uncle
Samuefs coat-tails alone"
1t was at this point that Col. A. NJ,
Hughes, of Tennessee, said:
Germany has no sober sensa sbs ha
no avowed policy and don't know what
she is doing. II she wants war she can
have it. and the boys from the hills OF
