Prevalency of Kidney Disease.

Most people do not realize the alarm
ing increase and remarkable prevalency
of kidney disease While kidney dis
orders are among the most common dis
eases that prevail they are almost the
last recognized by patients, who usually
content themselves with doctoring the
effects, while the original disease con-
stantly undermines the system.

There was full freedom of the press with full recognition by the press of the Governments desire to withhold no information that did not disclose military secrets.

200 CARS OF SALMON
 BOUGHT IN SEATTLE

Shattering all previous records for 200 carloads of this food product, bought by the Government to feed he armies in France, have been sent East in the last week by Maj. L. E. Douglas, head of the subsis tence department, Depot Quartermas- ter Office, Seattle, says the Times of December 1st All of the salmon, of the red and pink varieties, came down from Alaska.
 On Wednesday of last week Major Douglas sent East a solid train of forty-two cars of salmon, following this up with similar trains on Thurs day, Friday, and Saturday. Detached cars within the next four days has brought the total to the 200 mark and beyond.
 Some idea of the vast shipment may be gleaned from the figures :: 1,250 cases of salmon to car, weighing seventy pounds to tho case.
 The prices on this huge Govern ment order have not yet been fixed. Civilian wholesale prices now are about $7 per case for pinks and s3 for reds. In any event. Uncle Sam has just spent fully $2,00sOO0 here for just one item of food for his overseas force.

 Wm. G. MCAdOO.
NO FINANCIAL SHOCK
Most Stupendous Financ' ing Ever Attempted Went Ahead Smoothly and
 /NithOut a Hitch.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10-The if nancial history of Americas part in the war is set forth by Secretary McAdoo in his annual report drafted before his resignation and made pub lie by the Treasury. It is the his tory of how the American people paid billions in taxes, raised four great Liberty Loans and created a tremendous pool of credit with which the Treasury through its many war agencies paid the bills of the Army and Navy, the Shipping Board and other Government departments, and loaned billions to the Allies and mil lions to war industries, helped sup port the families of soldiers and sailors and tided farmers over per iods of financial stringency
 'The payment into the Treasury of vast sums in war taxes and from bond sales" said Secretary McAdoo, "and the transformation of our var jed and complex economic life to the supreme task of winning the war have been accomplished without shock or financial disturbance. The credit and business structure of the Nation remains sound and strong The results of the four Liberty Loans are tribute to the patriotism of the American people and to the economic strength of the Nation"
 For the fifteen months ending last June 30 Secretary McAdoo estimated that the actual cost of the war, with allowances for the Governments or dinary expense in ordinary times, amounted to S13,222 100000. Nearly half of this. or $6,449, 100000, went into permanent investments, in the

Up to November 1, it is shown, $244,O36, 300 worth of bonds, face value. had been purchased on the open market for S234,310000 or a, an average price of about 96 par cent. and subsequently held by ,fe Treasury Of tAis 3,...; $4!3,4+ ,,O-, were second Liberty LoAn ponds of both and A per cent. issues; S70,935, ,0OO were Third Liberty Loan Bonds, and $65,600,00 were First Liberty Loan converted bonds.
 The report also showed that the War Finance Corporation, up to Oc tober 31, had made loans amounting to $67,716,000 of which $29,S63,000 went directly to war industries. The public utilities were the principal borrowers, while lumber companies, coal operators, manufacturers and stock raisers rank next in the mum berber of applications.
 The magnitude of the work of the Capital Issues Committee was indi cated by the report that since its organization last May r it has ex amined nearly 2,000 applications from prospective issues of securities, aggregating about $2,350, ,0O0,0 ,000
 About 20 per cent. of these ap- plications were disapproved," says he report.
 Mir McAdoo took the occasion to emphasize again the importance of hastening the enactment of the reve nue bill now pending in Congress.
 The report explained at length
 hat a feature of the Treasury's pol icy in distributing the $6171, ,000 GOO credits to the Allies during the year, has been to stabilize foreign ex- change rates and bring the dollar nearer par in European countries, but did not mention the specific acts undertaken by the Treasury to ac- complish this. In exchange for cred it's, France gave the United States credit in France of $631,275, 900 for Army purchases. Great Britain es 'ablished similar credits of $115, S33, 900 and Italy $6,284,000.
 Turning to the enormous task of collecting s3,694, ,619,O 900 in taxes dur ing the last fiscal year. or more than four times the record collection of the year previous, the Secretary emphasized that this had been ac eomplished largely through the CO., operation of business interests and individual tax payers.

For support of the Army alone the Government paid out $4.412, 900 (000 The Naval expen- ditures included the construction of new vessels, machinery, armament, equipment and improvements of navy yards. The total ordinary disburse- ments for the year amounted to $6,- 966 900 000 and the ordinary receipts, excluding money received from Lib erty Loans, amounted to $4,174,000,- 000 The loans to the Allies during the year amounted to $4,739, 100000 additional
 With this explanation MT. McAdoo forecasts expenditures for this year at $20,6S7 ,000,000 for Government purposes and $4,275, 100000 for loans to Allies and $2,540,0 100000 for the redemption of outstanding certifi
 cates and other debt cancellation
 The total estimated disbursements for the year were put at $27,710,000, 900.
 Against this estimate which actual expenses at the rate of little more than a billion and a half dollars a month to date, indicate is too high
 MT McAdoo calculated that the Gov ern will receive about 000,000,000 before the end of the fiscal yeal next June 30, from income and prof it's taxes, $1,100,000,000 from other taxes, $190, 100000 from customs tax es and $555, 5,0O0,000 from miscellan eous sources, including $7O,00O,O0C from increased postage, making the estimated receipts from ordinary he figured roughly on little more than s5 0,O00,000 from further is sues of Liberty Bonds and $1,20O, 100000 from war savings stamps
 These figures added to the receipts from Liberty Bonds already solt make $14,16S,000, ,000 the total 0, popular borrowings expected during the year. On this basis a total es timated receipts would be $21,000,00' or $6,695, 100000 less than the tenta 1f 1 irl,, ,nr1tG
 The actual developments are expect ed to charge these calculations greatly.
 "The Federal reserve system ha'
 permitted the enormous transaction connected with the financing of th'
 war to be carried through withou shock on disturbance and it's ser vices will not be less important tt the Government and to the NatioI in facilitating the readjustment iron a war basis to peace basis and tt assist and foster thereafter the de velopment of agriculture, industr. and commerce under normal peac, conditions"

U ED THE BAYONET
Secretary Daniels in His Annual Report Pays a Glowing Tribute to the
 Fighting Men.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - In a lengthy annual report carrying much statistical information Secretary Dan iels writes with pride of the record of the Marine Brigade in France, which shows with only 5000 men of the Corps engaged. the casualties numbered 69 officers and 1531 men mead, 7S officers and 2,435 serious ly wounded, while but 57 Marines are reported officially as captured by the enemy, Illustrating the despcr ate character of the fighting in which the brigade participated an6 the fact that it was always advane ing.
 gro the United States Marines, MT. Daniels says, fighting side bs side with equally brave and equally courageous men in the American Ar my to that faithful sea and land force of the Navy, fell the honor ol taking over the lines where the blow of the Prussians would strike the hardest, the line that was nearest Paris and where, should breach oc cur, all would be lost.
 "The world knows today that the United States Marines held that line that they blocked the advance thai was rolling on toward Paris at rate of six or seven miles a day that they met the attack in Ameri can fashion and with American hero ism; that Marines and soldiers of the American Army threw back the crack guard division of Germany, broke their advance and then, at tacking, drove them back in the be ginning of a retreat that was not tC end until the cease firing" signal sounded for the end of the worlds greatest war
 striking picture of the fighting at Belleau Wood, now renamed in honor of the Marine Brigade, is glv- en. The place was jungle filled with machine gun nests, the Secre tary says, impossible to reach with artillery or grenades.
 There was only one way" he continues, "to wipe out these nests by bayonet. And by this method were they wiped out, for United States Marines, bare chested, shout. ing their battle cry of 'E-e-e-e-c- y-a-a-h-h-h-h- yip yip!' charged right straight into the murderous fire from those guns. and won! Out of the number that charged, in more than one instance, only one would reach the stronghold. There, with his bayonet as his only weapon, he would either kill or capture the defenders of the nest, and then swinging his gun aboht in it's position, turn il against the remaining German posi- tions in the forest.
 "In all the history of the Marine Corps there is no such battle as that one in Belleau Wood. The hero ism and doggedness of that battle are unparalleled"
 The report describes the laying of the North Sea mine barrage, wholly an American enterprise. While there is no way of ascertaining definitely what that 250 mile barrier did to enemy submarines, Mir Daniels says there is reason to believe that ten U-boats had endered their career at the barrage before the middle of October"
