ENGLISH LABOR
 ENDORSES WAR
 AT CONFERENCE
Must Fight Until World Is Made Safe for Democracy,
 Say Britishers.

London, Dec. 2S.--Premier Lloyd George, in a letter which he sent to- day to the special national labor con ference, declared:
 Achievement of the purposes for which the allies are fighting is es- sential to the future freedom and the peace of mankind"
 The premier also stated that a statement of war aims could be made only in agreement with Great Brit aims allies. The question of issuing fresh joint declaration, he added, was being constantly kept in view by the entente allies governments.
 The premier's statement is regard ed as the British reply to the German peace offer.
 The conference was convened .1cre today to consider memorandum on war aims" A pronounciamento was adopted with a virtually unanimous show of hands declaring that in con tinuiDg the war labor is actuated by it's determination to make the world safe for democracy hereafter No sympathy was expressed in the text of the statement with attempts to convert the war into one of conquest, but it insisted that restitution and reparation, and also certain territor ial readjustments, are necessary if the renewal of ornaments or war is to be avoided
 The conference was attended by 750 delegates, and was expected to place on record, an expression of expression of opinion from British labor on the war aims of this coun- try. The adoption of the memoran- dunn is considered especially signifi- cant, in view of the peace negotia- tions. between Germany and Russia.
 The statement placed at the fore front a demand for the restoration and rehabilitation of Belgium at the expense of Germany. It is also dealt with Alsace-Lorraine, Italy, the Bal kans, Poland, Turkey and German African colonies on lines similar to those suggested in early documents on these subjects.

"lloliest" Spot in World.

The temple of Buddh-Gaya, in north. eastern India. has strong claims to be- ing considered the holiest spot in the world-at least it would be so adjudged If the question were submitted to universal suffrage. For Buddh-Gaya Is the holy of holies of the Buddhist creed, whose believers outnumber those of any other. This is the very spot where Buddha received enlightenment of his heavenly mission 2,4OO years ago.

Preserving Flowers.

A method of preserving the natu- ral cOlors of flowers consists in dust ing salicylic acid on the plants as they lie in the press and removing it with a brush when the flowers are quite dry. Rcd colors in particular are we'll preserved by this agent. Another meth cd of applying the same preservative is to use solution of one part of salicylic in fourteen of alcohol by means of blotting-paper or cotton wool soaked in it and placed above and below the flowers. Powdered boracic acid yields nearly as good results.

References to Snow in Bible.

The historical books of the Bible con- tain only two notices of snow actually falling: II Samuel 23 20 and I Mag cabees 13 :22; but the allusions to snow are numerous in the poetical books. At Jerusalem snow often falls to the depth of foot or more in Janu- ary and February, but it seldom lies. At Nazareth 1t falls more frequently and deeper.

High School Students

The food conservation, or rather the
food substitution campaign, is now on
in earnest as the high school students
have been given pledge cards and they
are to carry them home and secure the
signatures Of their parents or the heads
of the families. Then after bringing
back to the school the pledge card pro-
perly signed, the student may carry
home a window sign which shows that
the family has agreed to cooperate with
the government on the food PROPOSE
tion.

it is a pretty sure indication the fam

Make final DRIVE
FOR LIBERTY LOAN
Supreme Effort Being Make to
Bring Salem Up To Re-
quired Quota

The fact that Salem was falling be-
hind in its quato of subscriptions for
the End liberty loan was forcibly
brought to the attention Of the people of
Salem at the mass meeting held last
night at the Salem Commercial club.
Salem Is quota is 100000 and the fact
was brought out that at the close Of
banking hours yesterday, the total
amount subscribed had been but little
over one half of this amount.
Postmaster August Huckestein pre-
sided and introduced the speaker of the
evening, j. d. Neale of the Lumber
mans Trust company of Portland. In
his address, Mr.. Neale brought out
plainly that a liberty bond was better
than ready money as a business pro-
position as it drew interest and could
at any time be converted into cash.
AS he had handled the Liberty bonds
for his bank. HeT gave some interesting
items of general interest.
Short talks were made by H. w. Mey-
ers, I. b. Kay, John II. Albert, Walter
A. Denton, M. l.. Meyers and others
interested in the canvass being made
today.
Walter A. Denton, W. D. Evans and
A. o. Hartman were appointed com
mittee to be on hand at the CONNER
cial club this morning to give out APP
plication blanks and assist in every
way those VINO reported to assist in
the house to house canvass.
Judging from the number who ap-
piled for the blanks this morning, the
indications are that today will show a
wonderful increase in Salem Is subscrip-
tions to the End Liberty bonds.

SALTS If kidneys
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Flush Kidneys
and NeutraIize Irritating
Acids--Splendid for
System

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate ana
inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night, The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes some
times with scalding sensation and is
verv profuse; again, there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast, continue this, for two
or three days. This will neutralize tho
acids in the urine so it no longer is a
source of irritation to- the bladder and
urinary organs which then act normal
ly again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant efferves-
cent lithia water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.
