the men ready for the fighting line
were adequately equipped.
Senators Wadsworth and Weeks,
Republicans. and Senators Chamber
lain and Hitchcock, Democrats, took
the lead in cross-eXamining the Sec
retary, and at times handled him
without gloves.
When Secretary Bakers examina-
tion was resumed to-day, Chairman
Chamberlain said there were fears
for powder production.
The situation is satisfactory and 1
think supplies are and VIII continue
adequate" replied Secretary Baker.
Asks About Standards
Senator Wadsworth asked about the
board of labor standards which testi-
mony has said has pacifists and So
oialists among its members and is
requiring new specifications in army
cloth contracts which will reduce pro-
duction.
Il know their character and expert
qualifications WELL" said Secretary
Baker, in defense of the board.
Turning to artillery. Senator Wads-
worth assailed the ordnance bureau
for not continuing manufacture of
French 240-millimeter guns instead
OF proceeding with manufacture OF
American 9.5 guns, none of which
have been delivered and whose am
munition is not interchangeable with
the French.
Was Not Certain
Secretary Baker said he thought
but was not sure. that the depart
ment was making the French type
and promised to give further infor-
nation.
There has been no explanation yet
given the committee" said Senator
Wadsworth, pounding the table with
his fist.
Senator Wadsworth asked whether
in view OF the shortage of artillery
and machine guns. the Secretary's
statement that there was sufficient
supplies substantially for rush need"
was correct.
Yes. perfectly, as 1 understand it,"
said Mr.. Baker. "Our rush needs are
satisfied.
Senator Chamberlain asked Baker
how he could say that when can
tonments were short rifles and ma
chine guns and artillery.
Enough For France
81 mean that we have sufficient for
the men actually engaged in fight
ing"
"You mean then that there is
enough for men in France" said Sem
ator Mcclellan.
"Yes," said the Secretary.
Give Wrong Impression
your statement that we have sub
stantially enough gives a wrong inn
preston to the country, when we
have only enough for men actually
in the fighting and not for those in

said Chairman Chamberlain, that

quately equipped with artillery and
arms"

berlain.
Il have assurance to that effect
Mr.. Baker insisted.
Ordnance Needed
Mr.. Baker admitted ordnance was
needed for training men in camp.
Time needed to train men in France,
he said, will give time to increase
ordnance supplies.
Senator Weeks cited the general
ordnance shortage at Camp Bowie,
Texas, testified to by. Major General
Greble, commandant.
You have given the impression
that very camp has enuogh rifles,
Senator Weeks observed. How can
you conform that to the statement
that every camp has enough rifles,

Il didn't make that statement" said
Mr.. Baker.
You gave that impression"

filed" explained Mr.. Baker.
But you ought to define your
statement; it gives the country the
impression that every need in the
camps is supplied" said Mr.. Weeks.
Guns in February
Reverting to delays in machine gun
deliveries, Senator Hitchcock deplored
tardy contracts for Lewis guns and
Mr.. Baker rejoined that large produc-

This aroused Senator Hitchcock.
That isn't So" he retorted sharply,
slapping his hands together at the
Secretary. I'VE won't have a large
quantity before 1919 in actual use.
We haven't one now"
I'VE have nine," Mr.. Baker sug-
gested, smiling. Seriously. he added,
that production was being speeded up
and that his latest information was
that quantity production of Browning
guns would begin in February.

swelling. stiffness and acute agony. 1t
Is astonishing how few persons except
ing chemists and the medical profess
sion, understand that the water we
drink must reach the kidneys by first
being absorbed into the blood, and
that if the water is strongly alkaline
it thoroughly flushes the kidneys
when being expelled, taking with it
the acids and impurities it has alb
sorbed while in the blood This is the
secret of the wonderful effects pro-
duced by such worldfamous alkaline
mineral springs as Vichy, ContreXe-
vile, Chatel Guyon, Evian, Vittel,
Carlsbad, Wiesbaden, Marlenbad and
others equally celebrated. All of these
springs are very strongly alkaline
and in the waters will be found such
active constituents as magnesium,
lithium. sodium, calcium, and other
recognized uric acid solvents, elimi-
nants and blood purifiers. The reason
why people travel thousands of miles
to visit the natural springs is because,
to be of real dependable value, the
medicinal waters must be fresh. Such
things as soda fountain artificial
mineral waters have little or no

and prescribed by doctoTs as
err form). By drinking this pleas
ant-tasting and very strongly
alkaline medicinal water at home the
heavy expense and great loss of time
required to visit the natural springs
can easily be avoided. Rheumatic and
uric acid sufferers can easily prove
this without stirring single step
from their own homes. Simply drink
before breakfast every morning, Tor
week or two, glass of hot water
in which you have dissolved level
teaspoonful of the refined alkia sal
trates compound. Afterward you
will not be likely to have much pa
tience with rheumatic friends if they
continue to suffer after you have told
them about this. Among local drug
eists who have been found on inquiry
to carry the alkia saltrates compound
in stock are Kellers Drug store, G.
A. Gorgas, Kennedy's Medicine Com
pany and II. C. Kennedy. So it will
prove a simple matter for anyone to
try this remarkably effective method
of home treatment.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-01-11

Chemical analysis and the micro
scope both prove beyond any possi-
bility of doubt that rheumatism. gout.
sciatica, etc. are due to uric acid and
other impurities in blood and tissues.

ties. the sufferer is rid of the rheu-
