Questions and Answers.

Uric Acid - What causes uric
acid in the urine? Can it be cur
ed? What kind of medicine is
best? MRS. A. B. c.
Answer-Uric acid is one of the
natural waste products present in
the urine of a healthy individual,
being derived in part from nitro
genous foods such as bread meat,
milk, etc, and in part from the
muscular activity of the body.
There is no reason to suppose
that an excess of uric acid in the
urine is a cause of any disease.
Trace of Albumin-Can you ad-
wise me what is the best thing to
do to remove traces of albumin
from the urine, and if one should
diet themselves in such cases, as
1 understand that albumin can be
cleared up by dieting and medi-
cine. E. j. W.
Answer-It would depend on the
nature of the trouble, if there is
any trouble. Traces of albumin
may be present without any dis
ease. l think one should never
attempt to diet himself if there is
any serious disease. but rather
leave such problems to his physi-
clans judgment.
Springs and Veins - Would the
Hot Springs baths be of any bene-
fit or cure for Variocose veins?
]. T.
Answer-No. Wrinkled skin.
gray hair and varicose veins are
incurable.
Lemon Juice and the Blood
You say lemon juice tends to make
the blood more alkaline. II mag
nesia is added to reduce it's acidity
will this alter its alkaline effect?
VIII massage fill out a narrow
waist? Will chocolate injure the
eyes? W. r.
Answer-The addition of mag
nesia does not alter the effect. Mas
sage will not fill out the waist.
Chocolate taken as a food, will not
injure the eyes.

UNKNOWN WOMAN
MAY SHED LIGHT
ON POISON CASE

Macomb, H., Aug. 14.-Testi-
mony of a woman. whose name the
sheriff's Office declined TO disclose.
is expected to throw new light on
the texture of circumstances sur
rounding the death of Lawrence
Clugston of Bushnell for whose al
legged murder by poisoning his wife
and DR.. c. w. Alverson, attending
physician, are being held here In
Jail.
According to the sheriff's Office,
the woman, who was a neighbor OF
the Clugstons at Bushnell, went In
TO offer her services the night be-
fore CIugston died. The victim.
the woman is said to have de-
clared, was in the midst of violent
commissions, about which Mrs.
CIugston asked her to be silent.
The inference drawn by the sher-
iff's office is that Clugston was suf-
fering the effects of poisoning.
1t was also said to have been
by the woman that
Mrs. Clugston showed no evidence
of grief, and this was declared to
have been confirmed by undertake
ers following the mans death

Seizure OF Supplies.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Radical down
turns in grain and provision prices
took place today, and the breaks
were largely ascribed to seizures
of food boards and other develop
ments in the war against the high

ington Avers-RebeP
Chief Says 1000.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-two
conflicting reports continued to be
received here today as to the num-
ber of miners on strike in Illinois
Frank Harrington, president of
the state miners union, said there
was nothing to indicate that the
movement had spread beyond the
Belleville, Peoria and Springfield
sub-districts, where, he stated, ap-
proximately $4,000 mine workers
are on strike.
John Watt, secretary-treasurer
Of the Springfield sub-district, who
acted as chairman of the mass
meeting last night, which voted for
a state convention to meet here
next Tuesday, declared $4,000 men
were idle.
Ignore State Officers.
Counsel of the state officers at
last nights meeting against the
strike was disregarded fatty and
the men voted amid cheers for the
present wage scale.
ANY such convention would be
irregular, self-constituted and with
out authority" President Earring
ton said today "Only the rebel
lious element in the Belleville and
Springfield sub-districts have ask
ed for it."
There are eleven sub-districts in
Illinois.
Harrington in a circular today
to miners declares that a new
wage scale for Illinois before a
basic scale has been negotiated at
the coming international conven-
ton for the central competitive
field, would result in endless con-
fusion. Illinois, he states, with a
higher wage scale, competing
against Indiana. Ohio, western
pennsylvania, would be left with
out work.
Chairman Watt said today the
state convention was being called
partly to revise the constitution
for the purpose of curtailing the

Five Wounded During Outbreak in Strik
RAIL CONTROL
ON WARFIELD'S
PLAN is URGED
Counsel of Owners Advo-
Gates System for Oper-
ating Roads.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The War
field plan for railroad control. with
provision for fiat return of six
per cent on capital invested, was
presented today to the house inter
state commerce committee by Lu-
ther NJ. Walter, general counsel of
the National Association of Owners
of Railroad Securities.
The fundamentals of the plan, in
cluding division of all surplus earn
ings among the employees, the pub
lie and the road earning it, were
explained by Mr.. Walter, who de-
clared it could be put into effect
Immediately.
"The keystone of the Warfield
plan" the witness said, 'is a con-
gressional direction to the inter
state commerce commission that it
shall make freight and passenger
rates sufficient to pay operating ex-
penses, maintain railroad proper
ties and give not less than six per
cent return upon the aggregate fair
value of the property devoted to
transportation in each of the prin-
cipal traffic territories"
Had Surplus Before War.
Mr.. Walter opposed federal in
corporation, a transportation board
and a secretary of transportation in
the cabinet and declared that un-
der the minimum return plan the
net result of operations in the pre-
war test period, the basis of gov
ernment rental, some of the car
riers would have turned in a sur
plus for division between employees
and the public. Mr.. Walter said the
financial structure of credits de-
pended upon the legislation enact
ed by this congress to deal with
the railroad problem. The asso-
citation, he said. used the property
investment account OF the carriers
as the basis upon which to apply
the six per cent because the inter
state commerce commission had
found that the only available basis
for prompt determination of eff
cheney Of the return upon invest
ment.
Would Split With Workers.
1t was a fundamental of the War
field plan, the witness said, that la
Dor should participate in the earn
ings of the carriers.
The association believed the sur
plus over the fixed return should
be divided equally among the en-
ployes, the public and the earning
road, one-third to the road ito en-
courage incentive and initiative in
operation"

KOLCHAK ARMY
BEING DRIVEN
FURTHER BACK
u. S. Aid Expected to Ar
rive in Time to Prevent
Utter Defeat.

London, Aug. 14.-The retreat in
the Ural mountains of the forces nf
Admiral Kolchak continues, ac-
cording to news received here to-
day. South of Uralsk, at the south
ern end of the Urals, it is added,
the bolsheviki have driven the
Cossacks back 60 miles and are en-
deavoring to separate them from
forces who are fighting on both
sides of the trans-Siberian railway.
East of Chelibinsk, junction point
on the railway, and Shadrinsk, the
bolsheviki are said to have reached
the line of the Mass and Isset riv-
ers and captured Tiumen, just east
of the Russian-Siberian border.
The advices add that there is no
sign that the bolsheviki advance is
likely to be checked.
Z. S. Aid May Save Him.
The Associated Press is in
formed, however, that the general
position of Admiral Kolchak AMI
his government is not believed to
have been made materially worse
by the bolshevik advance, and
barring the unexpected collapse of
Admiral Kolchak, the munitions
America is sending should arrive in
Siberia in time to aid in hs recov-
cry.
Nevertheless it is admitted here
that the reverses suffered by Ad-
miral Kolchak are a serious blow
TO the policy of the entente in Rus
sia.
Better news has been received
from south Russia where General
Petlura, Ukranian anti-bOlshev-
Xxi leader is progressing rapidly to-
ward Kiev with a view to cutting
the railways southwark toward
Odessa, which probably will have
to be evacuated by the soviet
forces. The Russian volunteer
troops under General Denikine are
closing in on Odessa from the
and the east and it is be-
lieved that the whole Black sea
coast soon will be out of bolshevild
hands.

FORD'S SUIT
FOR MILLION
GOES T0JURY
Jurors Go Out at $50 as
Judge Finishes Instruc-
tion on Case.

Mt. Clemens. Mich. Aug. IA
The jury which for three months
has been hearing testimony and ar
guments in Henry Ford's 81, 100000
libel suit against the Chicago Daily
Tribune, retired today to consider
it's verdict.
Judge James G. Tucker in-
structed the jury that "the right OF
fair comment" is expected in the
case of Mr.. Ford because his posi-
tion as great employer of labor
and his entry as a propagandist
into the discussion of the prepared
ness question made him a public
character.
The Judge held that a newspaper
has no greater privileges in maxi
ing comment than has an individ-
ual.
The jury was instructed further
to dismiss the case against the
Solomon News company, which, ON
charge that it distributed in
Michigan 20S copies of the Tribune
issue containing the alleged lib
elous editorial headed Ford is An
Anarchist" was made co-defendant.
Counsel for the plaintiff an
nounced that as the Solomon broth
ers distributed the paper in ignor-
ance of its contents no damages
were sought.
The only one Of the principals
in the suit present was Captain
Joseph NJ. Patterson, one of the
publishers of the Tribune. Mr..
Ford is in the Adirondacks on a va
cation.
The jury was locked up at $50
a. m.

to the notes sent by the conference.
The supreme council will meet this
afternoon to discuss the Rumanian
reply.
The supreme council considered
the Hungarian question yesterday
afternoon but as no reports have
been received from Hungary. the
council has no official advices from
the country concerning its attitude.
Dispatches from the interallied

quiries as to the body's powers
were considered and the council
sent additional instructions to Bud

mission was advised that orders
are not to be given to the comman-

that members of the mission
should hold themselves in readi-

cials preparatory to an adjustment
of the strained situation.
Opposed to Archduke.
Rumania, in no wise favors the
installation of Archduke Joseph in
power in Hungary. according to
a statement made by Minister An

"The Bucharest government has
no reason for sympathy either for
the archduke personally, or the re-
actionry regime which he repre-
sents, NJ Antonesco says. 'Ru-
mania certainly will not support
any government in Budapest which
is not acceptable to the entente"

In discussing the alleged seizures
of supplies in Hungary by Ruman-
ian forces, the minister says. THE
Rumanian armys' acquisitions do
not nearly approach those OF the

have received strict in
structions to examine this ques-
tion in accord with entente repre-
sentatives."

ing that the "happy result" of Ru-
