government assumption Of railroad con-
troll will endcavor 10 so manipu-
late his position rs 10 make
himself the Democratic nominee for
President in 1920. Well, he may en-
dcavor to do this, or he may not. Time

But much may happen between this
"oif-year ''of national politics and the
Presidential campaign Of 1920 Many
public men may rise or fall Secretary
McAdoo may come 70 the front or re-
tire to the rear. And there is scant proba-
bllity that his management OF the rail-
roads will advance his prospects for =
Presidential nomination, if he has such
a desire
Secretary McAdoo, when il comes to
securing the Democratic nomination for
President in 1920, will have 70 take his
chances with other aspirantS. Who the
latter may be is now a problem. None
are in sight at this time, it may be SAID,

GERMAN LOSSES.

The Germans ceased giving out their
casualty statements some time ago
Thomas Curtin says that when they
were published they did not include
the men in hospitals There are = good
many reasons for believing that the
acknowledged number of the killed was
an understatement. No one will accuse
the German commanders OF any particular
tenderness in the matter of human life.
For the first two years the Germans
were generally the attacking party;
their assaults on the defenses OF Ncrdun
were constant for nearly year, and
occasional for another SIX months, and
they are very prone 70 assault IN massed
formation, which Is effective against
lightly held lines, and occasionally against
those that are strongly held, but which
invites a terrible loss Of men.
In the unsuccessful efforts 10 take
Verdun and give the younger Hohenzollern
a military reputation not less than half
a million men were sacrificed, and some
of the estimates are double that. In all
probability the German losses Of the war
have far exceeded what the Government
has admitted. and have been even larger
than the more conservative estimates OF
their enemies. Philadelphia Record

SAVING MEAT.

The Department Of Agriculture has
published figures on the increase IN live
stock and on federal inspections at slaugh-
ter-houscs which. II SAYS, show that
mcatlcSs dayS have been worth while.
Meat animals IN the United States
increased bv Il. 300, ,000in 1917, theincrcase
consisting Of l,247 900 cattle. 3.1S1 900
hogs and | .2S4 900 sheep Inspections Of
beef for slaughter increased 2,hN,65l, or
"a per cent, but inspections OF hogs
decreased 81 3 per cent, more than 9O00,-
600 head. and inspections OF sheep foll
of u 9 per cent, approximately 2,5oo,0 600
head.
Ii was the compilation of these figures
which caused the federal food a-}minIs-
tration a few dayS ago SO relax Its re-
strictions on the use OF meat So as 10
increase the wheat supplies Less wheat
would hc eaten il was believed, II con-
suncrs were permitted 10 have more
meat. and more meat was available
The probability is that mcatlcSs days
have had part to do with this large in
crease in food animals. but we doubt if
thew have had as much to do with II as
some might think There certainly have
been strong reasons why farmers should
seek to increase their live stock. Prices
have been high and II has been known
that the world would use all the meat
that could he produced. But whatever
the cause. Il Is matter Of congratulation
that livestock is increasing Buffalo

A FAMILIAR ALIBi.

The Rev. 5. G Won Bosse, president
of the German American Alliance, drew
a too-familiar distinction before the Senate
Judiciary Committee lie declared that
members of the Alliance charged with
irving to ntimidate banks and trust
companies into refusing TO support Brit
ish and French war loans, as weA rs
other highly improper activities, had
acted as individuals and not as members
Of the organization.
According to this reverend gentleman,
it seems that the alliance IS something
distinct from It's members from a moral
standpoint As long as they do things
that might be regarded as permissible
thev are members But when they do
improper things strictly IN accord with
the purposes and known views of the
leaders OF the organization they act on
their personal responsibility The alliance
is innocent, even though practically its
members are guilty and have been npclled
to guilt by the known ideas of the alli-
ance.
The alibi is a little too transparent for
use in times like these However,
enough is directly chargeablc to the
official and undeniable activities OF the
organization itself TO render revocation
of its federal charter inevitable Chicago

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat, Also Take Glass
of Salts Before Eating
Breakfast.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache and feel like Jumps OF lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder ls Irri-
tated, and you may be- Obliged TO seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first YOU feel dull misery in the kid
nev region. you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather IS bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful IN glass
Of water before breakfast for a few days
and YOUR kidneys will then 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate
them 10 normal activity, also to neutral
ize the acids in urine, SO il no longer is
source of irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive. cannot injure;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which everyone should take
now and then to keep the kidneys clean
and active. Druggists here say they sell
lots of Jad Salts TO folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it

The best way out OF the muddle,

TIME TO START CHICKEN RAISING

All who intend to help raise the 500
100000 chickens desired by the Uniteo
States Food Administration should make
their plans at once, for March, April ana
May are the best months for Matching
Farmers are advised to keep hocks oi
not less than $50, and 500 is regarded as u
desirable number where land is available
The figures named by the administration
call for a great increase over the records
Of previous years, probably at least three
times the number ordinarily kept but
American farms are ample for the hocks
said to be needed for supplying the country
with eggs and poultry.
Although the appeal is intended cs-
pecially for farmers, city people ought
TO consider themselves Included From
20 to so chickens can BE- raised in u back
yard Of ordinary size; the main problem
Is in getting chicken feed, and, although
the host Of grain may seem to be excessive

a small scale is worth making.-Provi-

THE SOLDIERS FANCY.

Somewhere knee deep in Flanders mud,
A sentry keeps his post,
Nearby tree begins To bud
cannon makes its boast,
\ primrose dons its colored coat
And smiles to greet the lad,
For now the war seems far remote
And all the world is glad.
The sentry secs no cruel foe.
Nor hears the shell that screams,
For spring has set his blood aglow
And he is lost in dreams.
For every ugly scene has changed
To one of beauty rare,
The very ground where death has ranged
lis now a pathway fair;
The cloudlcss acres Of the skies
Remind him of the blue,
The blue that's in his Nweethcart's eyes.
The stInbeams dancing through
Are but the golden strands that made
The crown upon her brow,
For spring her ancient trick has played
tpon the soldier now.
Yes, spring has swept the war away
And brought the love days near,
And once Aagain the sentry may
The sound of laughter hear.
His dreams have brought across the miles
OF ocean that divide
\ maiden. radiant with smiles
And placed her at his side.
Though NIL is war below. above,
Ills heart Is still linhurned.

The New Liberty Loan.

The new Liberty Loan, it has been de-
cided, will be for only three billions o
dollars A few years ago that would have
been regarded as stupendous amount
but in these days of consideration in bill
lions instead of millions, it is regarded
as mere bagatele,
The amount, $1,000, 100000, is much
smaller than had been expected, but
none the less reasonable one in view
of the ovcr-estimation of war expendi-
lures. The interest rate, "A per cent,
is a surprise, Az per cent having been
urged by many of the Secretarys adj

The convertibility privilege stops with
this issue. Previous issues may he con-
verted into bonds of this third issue
even bonds of the second issue that have
been given in exchange for those of the
first-but thereafter conversion ceases.
The new bonds will contain n condi-

of j per cent during the period of the war
and for one wear thereafter Thus the
government will be able TO buy the bonds

PRESS COMMENT.
ENEMY ALIENS SNUG HARBOR

Two enemy aliens and naturalizcd
German employed by a Pennsylvania
manufacturing company have been arrest
ed under charges that If sustained before
court-martial would quickly rclegate
them to the attention of firing squad.
The offence of which they are accused
involves not merely conspiracy to dctraud
the government, but tampcring with
naval torpedoes III a way that might
imperil our warships and the lives of the
! officers and men on board.
All three now under arrest held re-
sponslble places in the companys works.
One, Fritz Bieret, WIS assistant to the
general manager. Another, Hendricks,
| was genera, foreman. The other, Schubert,
was foreman. Only one Of the trio
Hendricks has been naturallzcd. Ac-
cordng to the government agents, nj
reast twenty more enemy aliens are stu
employed in the same works, with some
of them under serious suspicion.
Whether the accused three are guilty
as charged remains to be determined.
But their guilt or innocence is relatively
unlmportant compared with the much
graver question Of why men whose nativity
and presumptive sympathies are prima
facie evidence that they are enemies IN
time Of war got employment where
they did.
It is not in the individual hostile efforts
of such rs these that the greatest danger
hes. The real repl les in that astounding
laxity which. in spite of all warnings and
IN spite of experience. seems still to leave
the doors of our factories wide open TO
any skilled enemy who may seek ad-
