Jones Marine Act Provides

WASHINGTON. July ss,--In re.
firing FROM the shipping business, as

is confronted with the necessity ~
swinging the biggest business deal

IL must be remembered, was only a
paper valuation. Tho actual selling
price OF the property involved was

What the u. $. shipping board
must undertake is the sale OF three

If KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backaehe Is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much
Meat,

When You wake up with back
ache and dull misery in the kidney
region it generally means you have
been eating too much meat, says a
we'll known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which overworks the kid
neys in their effort to filter it from
the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your
kidneys get sluggish and clog you
must relieve them. like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy
spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated. and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, channels often get sore, wa
ter scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night.
Either consult a. good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts: take a tablespoonful in
a 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 and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutral
fze acids In the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is . life saver for reg
, ular meat eaters. 1t is inexpen-
sive, cannot injure and make a de-
lightful, effervescent lithia-water
drink.

Prayer for Judges

o God, Who art the Author and
Giver Of Law. from Whom alone all
Just designs and righteous judg-
ments proceed, give unto all those
who frame. interpret or administer
human law the counsel OF Thy Holy
Spirit, that they may know them
selves Thy ministers. Remove
from them all pride and yainglory
Of class. all prejudice Of birth and
training, all narrowness Of place
and power, and grant them oknow
that only in loving and sympathy
with their fellowmen fs there the
possibility Of clear understanding
and righteous decision. Enable
them 30 to receive the precepts and
examples of the past that they
build upon the heritage Of the IA
Tiers . just and adequate edifice
Of law for the present.
As they deduce tho principles
which underlie the customary laws
Of men, give unto them the larger
vision Of the reign of law and the
ordered universe, Of the precedents
Of nature and providence, and suf-
fer them not to forget or to be ig-
norant of those inevitable laws OF
thine which 0utlive the lives OF
men.
o Thou Who hast given to man
the will to conquer the earth. the
power to serve his fellows and the
heart to love Thee, may the rule OF
the market place never be suffered
to obscure Thine eternal justice
but grant to all these. the ministers
of human justice, the will and abil-
ity to pacify the passions and ad-
just the disputes OF men. Suffer
, them neither to be swayed by thu
prejudices nor appeal to the weak
nesses Of others, but to deal fair.
ly, counsel wisely and acquit them
selves manfully in all matters; tt
be the servants of all men, but the
hirelings of none, and SO to hasteT
the Kingdom of God on earth, fol
which we pray.

HAUL GREATER
TONNAGE COAL


individuals and industries In the
west that have ordered coal and
yet are unable to obtain delivery
have naturally exhibited some con-
Germ over the prospective coal sup
ply situation this winter. The rea-
sons for this concern, NUT, how
ever, be gradually dispelled when
the facts regarding the production
and movement of coal are dis
closed.
This year, up to Dec. Is, the rail-
roads had moved 392,z47 900 tons
Of bituminous coal from the mines,
a. compared with q total Of 3d.
$4,000 in the same period last
year, an increase Of over $780,
600 tons.
Where is the coal going? Large
~ to northwestern and New Eng
land districts, because Of the ser
ious shortage there, and to which
it must be moved before naviga-
ton on the Great Lakes is closed.
Central West Next
The next step will be to supply
the central west and other sections
to which winter comes later and
is less rigorous.
This heavy movement Of coal has
been made possible by increased
railroad operating efficiency, be-
cause the available facilities have
not increased, and could not be in
the short time in which the rail-
roads have been operated by their
owners.
The results which already have
been accomplished in increasing
efficiency are indicative OF what
can be done by private initiative
and organization in the face of
very adverse conditions. In the
week ending Sept. 4. 947.743 cars
Of freight were loaded; in the week
ending Sept. IL, in which was in
cluded the Labor day holiday, S72,-
O43 cars; in the week ending Sept.
IS, 9S3,913 cars.
eSS,OOO Cars Delayed.
The accumulation of delayed
cars in April, following the outlaw
strike of yardmen. totaled 2SS.00O
cars. This was reduced to 1883
cars for the week ending Sept. "a,
which is normal. In April the av-
erage miles made daily by each
freight car in the country was less
than 20 miles. This average had
been increased to 25.7 miles by
July, and the reports which have
since been made by various rail-
roads indicate that the goal Of 80
miles per car per day, set by the
railroad executives, will be reach
ed.
The excess OF cars ordered by
shippers throughout the United
States in the week ending Sept. l.
over the number supplied by the
railways, was reported as ISL, 440
In the week ending Sept. II it was
69,1114. While transportation con-
ditions are by no means satisfac-
tory, the facts show that the rail-
way arrangements are making
splendid progress in improving
them.
