Central Powers Should Be Included in
the League Present Plan Menace
to American Principles Deplores
Propaganda for It.
WASHINGTON, March l-Senator
Knox OF Pennsylvania, formerly secre-
tary Of state. speaking today in the sen
ate. assailed the proposed league of ma
tions as striking down American consti-
tutional principles. He suggested new
world organization which, he said, would
preserve the Monroe doctrine and save
America from the results Of European
intrigue and aggression" The constitu-
tion of the league, would as presented
to the peace conference he said, sane
ton, reed and command war.
Why this feverith anxiety for the
adoption of this plan! Why this racing
up and down the land by propagandists
urging its adoptiong What benefit is
to come from such sale of the country
as is urged upon us2 Who are the
bcnefeiaries Of this betrayal OF our
peopleg
He said that If the people Of the
United States desired what he termed
real league Of nations to prevent war
and not merely build coalition to
further trade or preserve and expand
territorial possessions, il might be Sc
cured through the formation of an in
tcrnationa organization compromising
All the nations Of the world. He said
the constitution Of such an internation-
al coalition should primarily declare
war an international crime and stipu-
late that any nation engaging in 1t eX-
cept in self-defense should be punished
by the world as an international crimi-
nal.
Among other suggestions for. the con-
stitutibn lie said it should provide that
the countries of the two hemispheres

creed of the international court only il

When your kidneys hurt and your

and irritate the entire urinary tract
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep

with a mild, harmless salts which re-

stimulates them to their normal acti-

the vital importance of keeping the
Kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmac-
list about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made

NO RAISE HERE.

HIfEARS ago SO was mighty
IA good days wage and a
q man could afford to serve
on a jury for that compensa-
ton. But that was years ago.
In the interim wages have gone
up, food is higher, clothing
costs more, transportation is
more expensive, hotel accom-
modations more costly, and still
the juryman gets SO day.
Service on a jury is a func-
ton of good citizenship. Some
who are called make strenuous
efforts to escape service but the
majority are willing to do their
duty. In fairness to those
whose residence is not at the
county seat, their pay should be
sufficient to pay their hotel,
restaurant and laundry bills
while away from home.
How far will So a day go,
counting out entirely the loss :
mans business may be suffer-
ing? The minimum price at al
most any good hotel is now
$1.50, while three meals in a
restaurant need not be lavish
to consume the other $1.50.
One has laundry bills when alb
sent from home and perhaps
taxi or car fare from hotel to
court house, where they are a
considerable distance apart.
Three dollars daily for jury
men appears insufficient re-
comense with wages and prices
where they are. 1t is bad
enough, as one juryman now
serving says, to have four
horses idle when they could be
earning SIP a day, but 'to go
in the hole for meals and room.
seems too much" There is
food for thought in the wage
scale of our public servants.

GASOLINE SUPPLIES

A. ERSONS who have given
III thought to the effects on
~ the gasoline supply of the
impetus in automobile vehicle
production perhaps have Won
dered if the source of power
will not give out. Oil wells
are being taxed heavily for gas
oline already and new gushers
are said to be hardly keeping
up to the demand. Science,
which usually steps in to meet
emergencies, has been enlisted
to aid in recovery of gasoline
from natural gas.
The recovery of gasoline
from natural gas has new be-
come a large industry, which
contributes materially to the
supply of motor fuels. Expert
ments in the conversion of nat
ural gas to gasoline were made
as early as 1908, but expert
ment did not give way to COM
mercial production until about
1910. The growth of the in
dustry since that year has been
remarkable. In 1911 there
were in operation 176 plants,
which produced about 7,400,-
600 gallons of raw gasoline
from natural gas. In 1917,
only six years later, there were
$50 plants, which produced
nearly 21S,O0O,000 gallons.

Both sides in the controversy

Gompers, as head of labor,

much to settle the present trou-
bles because he holds the con-
fidence of not only the class he

She KILLED nun
HOusekeeper Found Guilty OF
Murder 12 Years Ago.
Jealousy Believed Behind Deed
Buried Body Under Church.

Leland, Mich, Oct 25.-Mrs. Stan
islau Lypczynska was found guilty
of the murder of Sister Mary Janina,
twelve years ago by jury in circuit
court here today. The jury was out
ten hours and returned a verdict of
first degree murder.
Mrs. Lypczynska. housekeeper for
Father Bienowski. pastor of st. 1sa-
dore church, was charged with kill
ing the sister because she was jealous
of her and with burying the body un-
der the church. Evidence introduced
at the trial showed that the bones
were later removed from the place of
interment and reburied outside the
church.
Finding of the body of Sister Mary
created one of the greatest recent
murder mysteries. Suspicion was fas-
tened upon Mrs. Lypczynska shortly
after the discovery of the body over
year ago. The trial has been long
drawn out.

Remarkable Growth of Edison
Company Shown by "Adv."
Concern Started Business With
Two Small Generators.
TOPEKANS SHED At PLAN
FubTc Had To Be Argued Into
Thinking Venture Safe.
Plant Now Generates Is Million
KilOwatt Hours a Year.

This week A. H. Purdy, general
manager of the Topeka Edison COM
p,ny, found an old newspaper carry
.aS announcement of the incorpora-
ton of the old Edison Electric Illumi-
mating company and stock sale pro-
rosals. The paper. dated December 2,
1855. outlined plans of a company
which in quarter of a century de-
veloped into one of Topeka's largest
essential Industries. The growth has
been many hundred fold beyond
dreams of Topekans who launched the
original company.
-Thirty-four years ago electric light
ing and electric power was a new
venture. Consequently the company
used full half column of advertis-
ing. reassuring the public that the
lighting plan was feasible, and prom
ised a safe future. Eyen in the face
of the assurances, Topeka was a bif
doubtful, and the plant started in the
engine room of the Shawnee Milling
candle power lamps. Some forty or
fifty business firms and residence
owners were original patrons. Two
small generators were installed to pro-
vide the Juice"
Very full inquiries as to the prac-
tical working and financial results of
more than a dozen central station
plants from Iowa and Massa chusetts
and in towns of from 5000 to $4,000
population have convinced the direc-
tors that the Edison system gives per-
feet satisfaction" said the reassuring
ad. Among the original incorporators
of the company were: G. F. Parelee,

dent; ]. F. Goddard, ]. r. Mulvane.
