Section in Spy Bill Escapes
Total Defeat by Only
Five Votes
Substitute Allows
Public Criticism
Battle for Free Speech
Still On in the
Senate
Prom tn. Thburo Bureau

Washington, May 4. Friends Of free
speech and a free press in the House OF
Representatives late to-day came with
in five votes Of preventing any censor
shin at all. The Administration, how
ever. succeeded finally in forcing the
passage OF n mildcr section than any
thing yet proposed, BY a vote Of 26o
TO 1905.
The Senate is still debating other
sections of the bill. 1t is thought there
is a chance in the upper house now of
beating tho censorship plan altogether,
which probably would result in a hight
over the conference committees report,
as the conferrees OF both houses would
favor much moro rigid censorship
provision than is in either bill.
Senator Hiram Johnson, of Cali
fornia. has a motion pending, which will
be acted upon when the Senate returns
to the censorship part of the bill, TO
strike out the famous subsection { OF
the second chapter Of the bill. Admin
istration Senators fear there may be
successful filibuster against the pro
vision. They realize that they could
not invoke the new rule limiting de-
bate. since they could not muster the
necessary two-thirds majority.
Thought Section Was Defeated
In the House there was straight
out vote on the question Of leaving the
censorship section in the bill, which re
suited 900 TO l67 in favor Of cutting Il
out. Then the Administration forces
brought in their cohorts. while the
friends OF free speech, thinking victory
v on. in many instances strayed of.

Argentina Is Appeased

Buenos Ayres. May 4.-The Council
of Ministers has examined into the re-
ply of Germany concerning the sinking
By a submarine OF the Argentine
steamer Monte Protegido and has de-
cided that the controversy has been
settled. The Foreign Minister has ca
lied the Argentine Minister at Berlin
to hand to the imperial German gov
crnment the following note:
The Argentine government duly ap-
preciates the attitude of the German
government as stated that the Ger
man government recognizes the fair
ness OF the Argentine Republics claims
and will give satisfaction on all the
points in controversy. Consequently,
the Argentine government accepts the
satisfaction given and reciprocates the
expression Of friendly feeling between
the TWO countries

EAT LESS AND TAKE |
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for q 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 stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine 30 it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney flush

MARKS AN EPOCH

Whether the distilleries which
closed saturday night ever begin
operations again, remains to be seen.
No beverage whiskey is being made
in this country for the first time in
several hundred years except in de-
fiance of law. The event is epochal.
Since Daniel BoOne's time Ken
lucky has made whiskey. 200 dis
tilleries closed Saturday. But there
is 23O,OOO,OOO gallons on hand yet,
and 190,000,000 more to be taxed.
So the drinker will continue to be
able to get his nip. But is likely
with the new war tax to be sold
for not less than Csc a drink. Even
gin is away up, and the gin fizz
will soon be mere remembrance.
Spirits distilleries to the number
of S37 quit. They employed 10000
people-only a few compared to the
dollars in the business. But the U.
S. drank 100000 gallons of dis
TILED liquors last year and spent two
billion dollars for booze. What's left
now will run for two years is the
estimate. TWO Peoria distilleries
have closed up saying they would
be open after the war, others quit
for keeps.
A few distilleries had mash
ready and are permitted to distil it
promptly" Such liquor must be la
belled and anyone selling it or mix
ing it for beverage will be prose
cuted.
