By Oral Vote.

The nomination of Bainbridge
Colby as Secretary Of State was
confirmed in executive session of
the Senate late yesterday. Charles
Il. Crane was confirmed as Minister
to China.
There was no opposition to either
nomination when the question of
consenting to their confirmation
was called up by Senator Lodge.
The opposition which It was
thought might become formidable
in the case of Mr.. Colby. In view of
the secret testimony taken by the
Foreign Relations Committee, did
not materialize. This was largely
due to the.fact that Mr.. Colby. in
his own testimony before the COM

that had been raised against him.

confirmation.

MEAT INJURIOUS
 TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers
 Meat Forms Uric Acid

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid says a we'll known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 : When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; WI you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad wea, ther, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass of water be- fore breakfast each morning and in few days your kidneys will 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 flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acid in urine so it is no longer source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can. not injure; makes delightful effer- vescent Whitewater drink and no. body can make a mistake by taking little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.

TAKEN FROM ! RULING OF REGISTER
 IN OIL LEASE CASES

Appeals were filed today by Attor. nel w. H. Rager. of Anchorage, for
 Joe Mailloux and Dora Maillonx il the local U. S. Land Office from the
 decision of Register Frank A. Boyle rejecting applications made by tho
 appellants for oil leasing permits. MT.
 Boyle's decision was based on tha
 rulings of Secretary John Barton
 Payne to the effect that no applicant
 lis entitled to more than one permit to land located in the same structur-
 al area.
 In his notice of appeal, attorney Rager declared that the decision Of the Register is arbitrary and in effect nullifies the law. He appeals on the ground that the rejection is contrary to the law for the reason that the Act (February 25, 1902), Section 13. specifically gives to any qualified ap plicant in the Territory of Alaska five prospecting permits. He fur ther alleges that the decision is con trary to Paragraph 10, Subsection (a) of regulations concerning oil permits and leases of the General Land Office Circular No. 672 wherein a person is authorized to hold five permits at one time in the Territory. He claims also that it is contrary to law in that it places the burden of proving whether or not the claims are on the same geological structure on the locator, whereas, he claims, there are no proven structures :n Alaska and in the absence of pros pecting and exploration there is no evidence to show that any two claims in the locality in which those in question are located are on the same geological structure.
 This is the second appeal taken from rejections for the above cause If the decision of the Register Is upheld by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, the cases; it Is will be taken to the Ser retary of the Interior and possibly into the Courts.
