war board.
Major Murphy said In part:
II want to ask you to consider FOR
a moment the fact that up to this
day Germany is entirely victorious
In this war: that any peace that Is
made today on the basis Of today's
conditions or on the basis Of the
status quo ante would be practically
q complete victory for Germany and
for the German idea. Germany has
lost nothing In this war except blood.
She has fought her war on the ter
rttory Of others. She has drawn from
the territory Of others vast supplies
Of materials and vast sums Of money.
She has had between forty and dfty
million people working for her for
practically no wage really as slaves.
She has established her cursed hold
on Austria, on Turkey and on Bull
garia, and she has at her feet muir
dered Serbia and unfortunate Rou-

and half System OF taxation in the
District, embodied in a resolution, Is
being sent today to each member OF
Congress.
Especially is the protest directed
against repeal OF the system ''by
rider on an appropriation bill: or in
such form as to be retroactive; or by
any method which does not secure
for the proposed legislation through
preliminary consideration by the Dis
trict Committee and by Congress-"
The members OF the board assert
that Washington is in a position dis
tinct from that OF any other city in
the country; that while other cities
have manufactures paying large sums
in taxes the Districts large buildings
are owned by the government and 1t
derives no revenue from them.

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel
Backachy or have
Bladder trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which ex-
cites and ovsrworks the kidneys in
their efforts to filter It from the
system. Regular eaters Of meat
must flush the kidneys occasionally.
You must relieve them like you re
lieve your bowels: removing all
the acids, waste and poison, else
you feel dull misery in the kid
new region, sharp pains in the back
or SICK headache, dizziness, your
stomach sourS. tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full OF sediment; the chan
nels often get irritated, obllglnE
you TO get up two or three times
during the night
To neutralize these Irritating
acids and flush off the body's urIn-
Gus waste get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear. This

for generations to clean and stirnu-
late sluggish kidneys and stop blad

WRITING HISTORY
OF THE STAGE IN
NATTON'SCAPITAL

Ten thousand photographs and half
tones, thousands OF theater programs
and many hundred columns of news
paper clippings, great piles Of type
written manuscripts. and enormous
letter files comprise the collection OF
Washington theatrical records owned
by Aloysius !. Mudd. who is engaged
in writing the history Of the stage in
the National Capital.
Mr. Mudd has a record of every the.
atricaI performance which has taken
place in Washington since the first
entertainment given in June, 1900, at
Blodgett's Hotel He owns original
photographs OF all the famous play
ers OF the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries who have appeared here. and
he has every newspaper account Of
every episode connected with the the
alter in Washington, such as the burn
ing of old Ford's Theater. once a Bap-
tist church.
Mine OF Theater History.
In completeness of detail and au-
thoritative worth, Nj Mudd's collec-
ton is a historical mine of value, not
only so far as the stage in Washing
ton is concerned. but with the history
of the theater in America. The two
are Identical in many respects. Every
one. tEeatergoer or not. knows OF the
connection OF the Booths with Wash
ington. The first appearance OF 10
seph Jefferson as Rip Van Wrinkle in
a theater here is both a local and a
national event.
From Mr.. NIudd's collection came
data regarding the first appearance OF
the elder Sothern as Lord Dundreary,
so that when. five years ago. the lead
ing Shakespearean actor Of the Amer
lean stage wished to reproduce the
play with which his fathers name is
associated, he turned to Mr.. Mudd for
assistance. The souvenir program Of
that night bore pictures Of the IA
nous PLAYERS OF the original com
pany. and a note on the program read
as follows:
Mr.. SOthern desires to extend his
thanks to Mr.. AloysIus J. Mudd, Of
Washington, for the loan OF the
photograph Of Mr. Jefferson and for
the use Of valuable data"
Many Books Planned.
Mr. AIudd's chief work will be a
complete history OF the theater in
this city. but he has written and is
writing shorter articles on many
stage topics. He has written the
history OF the Jeffersons in Wash
ingtOn. beginning with the first Jo-
seph Jefferson, grandfather of the
creator Of Rip; OF the Booth family
here. OF Ford's Theater and Of the
FlOrences and the Western Sisters.
Mr. Mudd is engaged in writing a
history OF polite vaudeville in the
National Capital and Of Ford's The
alter, the scene Of Lincoln's assassl-
nation, and which figured in the news
columns a day or two ago as being
condemned as unsafe
