The girlies gay.

PRICE NOT FIXED on WHEAT
Committee Headed by DIR. Garfield Ad.
tOurns After Several Votes Had
Been Taken without Result
Considerable Difference Of
Opinion as to Fair
Price Said TO
Exist.

Washington, August 28-The com
mittee headed by DR.. H. A. Garfield,
named by President Wilson to re-
commend the price for the 1917 wheat
crop failed to reach an agreement to-
night, and will continue deliberations
tomorrow. 1t had been announced that
a price would be fixed at tonights
meeting.
Members of the committee declined
to discuss the situation but it Is un-
derstOod several votes were taken. 1t
had been decided earlier that three
fourths vote would determine the
price
The fact that conclusion was not
| reached was taken to mean that con-
siderable differences Of opinion has
developed as to what is fair valua-
ton of the crop.
The basic price fixed will be for
number one northern wheat or its
equivalent. Prices for other grades
and classes will be left to the food
administration which will work out
scale within the next few days. Re-
presentatives of grain producing in
terests on the committee have con-
tended for high price because Of the
short crop, arguing that since con-
gress has fixed an arbitrary price of
81 for next years yield, with every
prospect of increased acreage, this
years crop is worth. much higher
figure.
1t is generally predicted the price
will be between 50 and $3.50.

SALTS IF sAekAettr
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eatirs meat for a while if your
 Bladder troubles you.

When you wake up with hackache and dulI misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment. channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good. reliable phy- gician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your Kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes ard lemon juice, combined with Ithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys also to neutralize acids in the urine so 1t no longer irritates. thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot lnjure and makes a delightful. effer- vescent Hthia-water drink.

 lieutenant Ira A. Warren of the Thirteenth company was in town on Tuesday on brief leave of absence from his station at Cos Cob. He returned to duty Tuesday afternoon
 No arrangements for leave for the men have been made yet. but sft is ex- pected that this will be attended to sionally return to their homes here.
 Lieutenant Warren reports the men as fit and doing steady service and that all are getting along we'll. All the stations are close to shore points where fishing ard clanrning and oth- CT diversions await the men when the season opens. The men do four hours of guard duty and have eight hours of, keeping this routine up day after guard duty out of every 24 hours. The squads are divided into three shifts.
 The pay of the men Is more than many here have supposed. Privates get at least two dollars a day and cor porals and sergeants in proportion, the sergeants getting $3 a day. Many of the enlisted men are allowed some thing extra each day if they have a special rating. such as gun points, gun ners, plotters. etc, in accordance with the regulations for the Coast Artillery allowance for rations for each man. As the men get paid for seven days week their earnings are better than most people have imagined. The com pany is now being paid by the state: Should the organization be mustered into the federal service, the pay then would be as in the regular army.
