Vigorously Denies Story
of PrO-German That
Sweater Is Stolen

Reports to the effect that Red Cross
workers appropriated a sweater con-
tributed for her son by local wo-
man; were emphatically denied at
local headquarters this morning by
Mrs Lyman d. Gilbert, president OF
the Harrisburg Chapter
The story was that a local woman
recognized a sweater worn by one OF
the headquarters workers, as her own
make. She is reported to have said
that because there was a So bill
pinned to the inside of the pocket, she
knew the sweater was made by her
When questioned this morning, Mrs
Gilbert said that the rumor original
ed from a story which was widely
circulated in the state by proGermans
1T is falsehood. Williamsport
Chapter and other chapters through
out the country have had to deal with
the same rumor. which is circulated
by people with proGerman leanings," "
The local chapter has been very ac-
tive in relief work of all sorts, and
the workers in charge are of unuues-
toned standing. No one who knew
these workers would utter statements
such as those which are going the
rounds of the gossips

EAT LESS MEAT
AND TAKE SALTS
IF KIDNEYS HURT
Says tablespoonful of Salts
flushes Kidneys, stopping
Backache.
Meat forms Uric Acid, which
excites Kidneys and Weakens
Bladder.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some
form or other, says a known
authority. because the uric acid in
meat eXcites the kidneys, they be-
come overworked; get sluggish, clog
up and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in
the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach. constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kiCneys 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 clogged kidneys and stim-
ulate them to normal activity; also
to neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer irritates, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone:
makes delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to keep the kidneys and urinary or
gans clean, thus avoiding serious
kidney disease.

Bad Weather Turns Great
Battlefield Into Sea of
Mud; Allies Hold Ground
By 1fsSocintcd Prc.e

Extremely bad weather on the
Flanders front is limiting the actiyi-
ties of the belligerents. Notwithstand-
ing the difficulties created by turning
of the battle-ground into mud
field, however, the allies have main
tanned themselves in the territory
they gained in Tuesdays great drive.
At only one point has their hold
slipped at all and that was in a par
ucularly low sector along the British
front below Poelcappelle where, as
announced yesterday their advance
posts were drawn in a little.
While the work of consolidation
and preparation for the renewal of
the offensive is proceeding, German
counterattacks are being held OFF by
the entente guns. Last night the
French had one of these attacks to
deal with in the region east of Draei-
bank. The attack was broken up by
the French fire.
Some attention is being attracted
by the persistence of the German eff
forts to regain ground on the French
front in the Verdun region. In this
connection it is noted that recently
one of the German military critics.
in alluding to the situation in Flaud-
ers. spoke of the peril to which the
Germans might be subjected on the
the Belgian area should give way.
The French are very near German
territory northeast of Verdun and u
forced weakening of the German
lines there might have a serious ef-
feet upon the whole military situa-
ton, well placed as the French now
are for the initiation of drive from
the outlying Verdun positions. The
German effort to push back the
French here, or possibly to regain
the lost initiative in the region, may
possibly be traced to anxiety in this
respect on the part of the German
high command.
Small success, however. is attend
ing the Crown Princes efforts in this
direction. He tried again last night
near hill S44, but General Petains
forces held their ground, driving the
Germans out of such advanced
trenches as they managed temporar
lily to penetrate.

WILSON ACTS TO
CUT FOOD PRICE
BY REGULATION
Issues Proclamation Requir-
ing License by All Save
Small Dealer

Washington, Oct. 11.-A proclama-
tion placing under stringent license
dealers in practically every funda-
mental foodstuff was issued last night
by President Wilson.
After November 1 any person or
firm operating cold storage ware
houses or elevators or engaging in
the manufacture importation or dis
tribution of the articles designated,
will be liable to the penalties pre-
scribed in the food and fuel act If
the business is transacted without a
license. Theer are exceptions noted
to the operation of the system but
they include mostly smaller dealers.
The action is taken to stem the
tide of rising prices, to stabilize the
market and to give the public some
appearance of food at a reasonable
cost. The food administration which
announced last night the plan to Ii
cense the system of food supply all
along the line from the producer to
the retailer, will have the admins
tration of the new function.
The list of commodities designated
by the President was even more COM
prehensive than anticipated. 1t in
cluded all important food grains and
their flours, meats, fish, fresh and
canned vegetables, some fruits, poul-
try and eggs and dairy products.
Those not affected by the operation
of the new licensing system include
persons and firms and persons licen-
sed when wheat and sugar control
were taken over recently by the food
administration, retailer doing a bust
ness not exceeding 100000 year,
common carriers, farmers, gardeners
and other producers of food whose
business is less than Il stipulated

Washington, Oct. 11.-Courses for
the great military schools at divi.
sional training camps have been
mapped out as carefully as are those
of high schools or colleges. The
whole scheme of the sixteen weeks
course, to its smallest detail, is based
on what General Pershing and his
officers already have learned on the
other side. 1t will be varied as new
lessons are learned at the fighting
front. The plan is calculated to pro-
duce infantry divisions uniformly or
ganized, equipped and trained.
1T will cut down materially the
training time abroad. The first diyi-
sion to graduate from the home
training school and reach France
will need but few weeks additional
instruction to fit it for duty at the
front

u. S. GUNNERS TRAINED
In HEAVY ARTILLERY
[Continucd from First Page !

"155" up to the staggering 400
that hurls a high explosive missile
weighing just short of ton. The
4OO's are more potent than the Big
BerthaS ever were in ...eir days of
great destructiveness.
In caliber the guns range from the
short, squat mortars, which sit upon
their launches like giant frogs, up
through the various members of the
Howitzer family to the truly sinister
naval rifles with their long taperins
barrels
Men Delighted
The Americans, delighted with
their French weapons, are busy
studying every detail and adapting
themselves to the use of French
material. Most of the heavy gunners
are men of long experience and do
not need much actual firing practice
before taking their place in line
against the enemy. They have been
a little surprised to find that with
the big land guns used here speed
is not a great factor. These heavy
weapons are used for destructive
purposes and there is no special
need for haste when dealing with
concrete dug outs and other enemy
desonses that cannot run away. Ac-
curacy is the great goal of all heavy
SunnerS.
Asked if his men would not find it
difficult to shoot without direct OBJ
servation, the general commanding
the heavy artillery contingent re-
piled:
Depend on Airmcn
We will have direct observation
here. The only difference will be
that the observer, instead of stand
ing beside the gun, will be sitting
aloft in an airplane. You can depend
upon it that each shot we fire at the
enemy will be watched and re-
corded"
The wireless branch of the heavy
artillery service is one of great inn
portance. AT schools already estab-
ltshed radio pupils are being special
ly trained in communication with
airplanes and observation balloons.
Scores of reserve officers from
Plattsburg and other training camps
are completing their technical edu-
cation in the artillery schools here.
The American gunners have been
much interested in the big 240's
which are hauled by caterpillar trac-
tors, but the real pets with the gun
nerS from overseas are those aristo-
Gratis among the heaviest which COM
mand special railroad cars. Some of
these rulers of the cannon world are
so important and so valuable that an
entire artillery train is devoted to
them. These trains are strange look
ing affairs in their fantastic war
paint, resembling at a distance a
mammoth rattlesnake. Even the en-
gines are included in the camouflage
and may resemble anything from q
brick house to a giant hedgehog.
The French sense of humor can
not be suppressed by three years and
more war. French officers have
named one of the largest guns turn
ed over to the Americans, "mousti-
que" which means mosquito.
1T is compliment to any of your
artillerymen who may have come
from New Jersey" said the French
commandant, who said he had spent
ten years on the eastern coast of the
United States.
