E. w. APPELMAN, MAIL CLERK.
DEvisEs MACHINE TO CON-.
BAT u.eoArs.
OFFERS HIS INVENTION
TO GOVERNMENT GRATIS
AppsIman 10 Inventor Of Patent Tube
to Enable Men to Escape From I'm
dersea Boats in Case Of Disaster
Working Models Placed With Navy
Department.

Fort Dodge, May BE. w. Appel
man, an uncle of Charles and Fred
Larrabee. has invented a submarine
destroyer which he will present to the
United States government, to aid in
coping with the submarine menace
presented by the appearance of Ger
man undersea craft in American wat
ers and for the protection of ships that
carry supplies to the allied govern
ments. Mr.. Appelman Is in the rail-
way mail service and has been as
signed to the >Ruthyen- Fort Dodge
run. $50
While in the city for iayover yes
terday afternoon Mr.. Appelman told
of his invention. Details were not
given out, but it is declared by Mr..
Appelman, that the submarine Destroy
er he has invented will completely de-
moralize the submarine campaign the
Germans have been carrying on. He
asserts that the invention can be used
in forever coping with undersea craft,
If the United States will accept it.
Count Won Bernstorff, late ambassa-
dor to the United States, has plans Of
another invention of Mr.. Appelman's
which he took to Germany with him,
when given passports at the time of
the severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany. The invention is tina:
Of q tube to be shot from submarine
if the nndersea craft Is in danger and
cannot rise to the surface. Tine tubes
in the shape of torpedo can be
operated from inside, floating when
they reach the surface. In this man
ner a man would be able 10 unlock
himself when the surface is reached
and >float until aid was given him. AL
tho details are lacking, 1t is claimed
by Mr.. Appelman that the invention
provides for the removal of the last
man from the submarine, by an auto
matte spring, which releases air pres
sure and forces the hydraulic appa-
ratus and sends the tube to the top
of the water. The United States naval
authorities also have been presented
with this invention.
Mr.. Appelman IS a veteran in the
mail service, having served for TWEEN
ty-seven years. Recently he retired,
but was called back into the service q
few weeks ago, because, Of the short
age Of mail clerks, due to the fact that
many Of the young men are enlisting
In the army and navy.

Havner Threatened.

Des Moines, May 3.--Attorney Cen
eral Havner, who returned to Dee
Moines yesterday,ryfused to make any
comment upon the work of the grand
jury in the last two weeks.
He declared, however. that when the
report Is made pubic he is confident
|sit will clear up much Of the mystery
at Red Oak.
Dispatches, from Red Oak show feel
ing has been running high in Mont
gomery county in the last two weeks
and the tensity Of the situation
brought about by the returning of the
indictment is approaching the bTeakins
point.
One dispatch says that Attorney
General Havner was ordered out OF
the grand Jury room by a witness who
has taken the side of Detective Will
kerson. The attorney general and his
agents have been threatened repeatedly
in the last week, 1t is reported.
Red OAK and Montgomery county
citizens are divided. Many influential
men believe in Detective J. N. Wilker-
son. who has conducted the probe and
are fighting to secure the Indictment
of Jones. Others refuse to place any
confidence In the detective and have
lined, up4in support of the attorney
general who declares Wilkerson's case
has completely crumbled.
It is charged that Wilkerspn's friends
have picketed the motel At Red OAK
and Immediately questioned every new
arrival to determine whether he is con
nected with the murder probe.

RECORD PRICE FOR POTATOES.
Omaha Commission Man Received
$1,782 For Car Load.

Omaha Commission Man Received
$1,7s2 For Car Load.
Perry, May SANDY CASTER, one OF
the proprietors Of wholesale produce
house in Omaha, was in Perry and
and while here told of the highest
priced car Of potatoes which was ever
sold in Omaha. The story illustrates
the scarcity Of potatoes in some Sec
tons and the interest which is being
taken by business men in having plen-
ty Of spuds planted.
CASTER said that while in his office
Saturday representative of the COM
mercial club at Norfolk Neb., came in
and asked IL the firm had any potatoes
to sell. He wanted some, wanted a lot
of them in fact, and didn't object to
the price. When told that they would
cost $3.50 bushel the business man
never hesitated but left orders for 500
bushels or more shipped to his town.
A search Of all the Omaha commission
houses brought to light 232 sacks,
which were forwarded to Norfolk.
The potatoes were bought by the
commercial club of that town. and
later sold at cost to the farmers of the
vicinity, few of whom were able to
get potatoes for seed. The price paid
for the small carload was $1.7S2.

Hoard;ng of Food
Tends to Increase
Price, Warns Expert

Every housewife who wants to do
her bit" for the country IN wartime,
can do it by buying only normal guam
titles of sugar, said Earl d. Babst,
president of the American Sugar Re-
filming Company, in a letter sent to
the trade.
! There are ample supplies of sugar
for normal consumption and for the
saving of the berry and fruit crops, Mr..
Babst stated He deprecated the
scramble that has been going on for
weeks on the part Of householders,
many of whom have stocked up with a
years sugar supply.
| Mr.. Babst gave as his chief reason
for believing sugar viii be plentiful the
allies plan to consolidate all their
purchases, thereby abolishing COM
petitive bids. which, he says, have
been operating to advance prices in
America
| Is Real Craftsmanship.
This is real business statesman
ship" Mr.. Babst declared. "lts sig
niflcance is far reaching. IF properly
carried out it certainly will tend to
ameliorate the rise in prices of food
stuffs in America, without undue In
reference with the property Of pro-
ducers.
with one third Of the worlds sugar
production within the present battle
lines. ENGLAND. France and other for
eign countries have turned to Cuba
and other sources which ordinarily
supply the United States. Therefore,
the sugar industry in America has
been on a war basis from the start.
"The. United States refiners have
! been bidding not only against each
other but against the allied govern
mental commissions aided by their
government controlled shipping.
"The cooperative proposal should be
considered OF as mitch Il not more
value to America than to our allies. 1t
will help to take the fever out of the
situation. II will be bulwark against
sensational reports leading to consum-
err scares, such as the sugar industry
| is struggling with today in many parts
of the country.
| Hoarding Raises Prices.
There is consumer boarding of SUI
gar which is tending unnecessarily to
raise prices, and especially to embar-
rass the manufacturing and preserving
industries Of the country. Refiners
have had to suspend their export bus
mess to meet this frantic and abnor-
NAL demand. This scramble has been
going on for weeks. in spite Of the as
surance that there are ample supplies
for normal consumption and for the
saving of the fruit crop.
I! "This company has delivered to its
domestic trade as much sugar as in the
same period last year, and that, too, in
spite Of strikes and car shortage. It's
confidence in its ability to meet the
needs of It's trade is such that for
more than two months it has been
selling It's output at prices far below
the prevailing market. In this effort ia
allay the needless alarm of consumers,
1t has had the full cooperation Of the
wholesale and retail trade.
| Last year the United States ex-
ported more than 100000 tons Of re-
fined sugar. This country can refine
100000 tons of sugar for our allies
without skimping normal domestic re-
quirements. Housewives can do their
bit by paying no attention to sensa :
tional stories and by buying sugar in
usual quantities and not in advance of
household needs

TO SETTLE P0PPER CASE
ASSAULT IN AMERICAN ENGI-
NEER LAST YEAR.
Japanese Turned on Him While in the
Employ of the Chinese
Government.
(By Associated Press)

Mukden, Manchuria, Aug. 3.-In-
formal negotiations concerning what
is known as the Pepper case are un-
Cerstood to be going on between the
United States and Japan.
The case, which involves J. E. Pop
per, an American engineer, had its
origin on August 30, 1916, when Mr..
Topper, who was in the employ of
the Chinese provincial government, is
said to have been assaulter by Japa-
1ese coolies in the International set
tlement. The American contention is
that Mr.. Pepper, observing that sew
eral of the Chinese linesmen in the
employ of the Mukden Electric
works, of which he has charge, were
being molested by Japanese COLES.
requested the japanese to desist.
The japanese turned upon Mr.. Pop
per, it is asserted, and dubbed and
beat him almost to insensibility. He
vas rescued by the American vice
consul, who was hurriedly called to
the scene.
1t is claimed that the Japanese con-
sui general volunteered an apology
for the incident, but, as it was not
made, the consul was asked to try
the case in the japanese consular
court. After some difficulty Mn.
Pepper secured the services of Jap
anese lawyer to represent him. After
d hearing it was announced that the
lawyer had informed the court that
Mr.. Pepper had withdrawn his COM
plant, though Mr.. Pepper declares
he gave no such authority.
The American consulate requested
that the case be reopened, but the
Japanese consul replied that this was
not possible, as the affair was closed
! Finally, after further conferences, the
japanese informed the Americans thai
the period in which Mr.. Pepper coult
have appealed had elapsed and tina
nothing further could be done. Th
Americans interested claim that there
was no trial whatever.
1t is understood that the authori
ties at Washington have become in
terested in the case and have aske(
for complete report.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD, TAKE salts
Says Backachc Is Sign You Have
Been Eeating Too Much
Meat.

When you wake up with hackache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid, which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the
lood, and they become sort of par
alyzed and cloggy. When your kid
eys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels removing all the body's urin-
Gus waste, else you have backachc,
sick headache, dizzy spells your
tomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
heumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable ply
sician at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will
hen 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 clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, alTo
to neutralzc acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regu.
lar meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive,
cannot injure and makes a delightf9l
effervest lthia-water drink. :
