tBy United Press,
 Detroit, April 6.-Returns today from LAS precincts in Michigan, which held it's preferential presiden- tial primary yesterday, give the fol- lowing returns:
 Senator Johnson, 107,132; General Wood, 64,410.
 On this tabulation, Senator John son holds a lead over his nearest op- ponent of 42,732.
 The ballot registered in the primary, however, is not binding so far as the choice of delegates to the national convention is concerned. The dele gates of Michigan will be selected by the state convention, the delegates to which will be selected at county cau- cuses.
 Detroit, April 6.-Senator Hiram 5. Johnson today continues to lead the Republican field on returns from the state preferential primary yester- day. Election returns from the up state districts, however, show that General Wood is cutting heavily into the lead piled up by Senator Johnson on early returns. His strength may yet push Senator Johnson close for the leadership.

State Department Technically Minus
 Secretary of State

Washington, March 15.-The state department was technically without a head. Frank L. Polk, who has acted as secretary since the resignation of Robert Lansing, resumed his duties as under-secretary officer of the department having held that he could not serve as secretary ad in terim for more than 30 days.
 The senate foreign relations com mittee planned to give further con- sideration today to the nomination of Bainbridge Colby, to the head of the state department, but postponed it's meeting because witnesses called were unbale to appear.
 Members of the committee take the position that under the war time Overman act, President Wilson can assign to some other official the duties of the secretary of state and consequently that delay in acting on MT. Colby's nomination had not embarrassed the department.
 The president had not designated an acting secretary today and it was said at the department that passports were not being issued as there was no one to sign them.
 Administration officials, it was learned officially, hold that the Over man act does not apply in the pres ent situation. It was indicated that there would be no designation of a head of the department pending sen- ate action on MT. Colby's nomination.
 Meantime the issuing of passports will be held up, it was said.

Credit of Church
 Al, Says Head of
 Church Movement

St. Louis, Mo-, March 13.-The credit of the church is Al plus. ac- cordlng to Dr. Charles L. Goodell of New York, secretary of Evangelism or the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. who is one of the speakers in the Lenten campaign in St. Louis.
 "flnanciers and big business men everywhere arc now willing to loan money to the churches upon the sole security Of their promise to pav.'' says Dr. Goodell. Big financial trust companies of New York City will now loan the churches or church boards millions of dollars on their word"
 This unprecedented financial stand Ing of the churches is explained by pr. Goodell as being due to the eff clent program recently adopted thru winch the various denominations are organized for cooperative work and distribution of money and efforts thru the lnterchurch World Move ment and correlated organizations. This spiritual union effectually avoids duplication of work and expenses by '''1 vel ioHo IEAiSIGS, dllu dlSO serves as clearing house for ideas, statis- tlcs and other information.
 Big business men are now find Ing that the churches have program big enough and broad enough to meet the demands of the world" he said The economic, as we'll as religious. value of the church is proven by the fact that financial leaders everywhere are calling upon the church to get busy and solve the problems that are confronting the world The burning question of the hour is that of cap ltal and labor The churches in the East have prepared a special pro- gram to prove to the laboring men that the church can meet their de- mands.
 "The great united forces of the church are putting the emphasis very largely upon evangelism. The churches in Massachusetts and h. iiana have organized for simultane- ous evangelistic campaigns, county oy county, rather than in isolated cities and towns as heretofore. It is believed that greater enthusiasm and bower can be created in this manner han in eampaigns of smaller scope."

KANSAS BANKS AND BUSINESS HOUSES
 TO FIGHT THIEVES
Organization for Self-Protec. tion is Now Being
 Formed

Topeka, Kan, March 13.-Robbers who have been footing Kansas banks and those who have been breaking into dry goods stores and carrying off large quantities of goods have had a high price placed on their heads. The Kansas bankers and mer- chants have formed protective associa- tlons against the thieves and have organized for an unusual fight.
 Years ago when the horsetheves raldcd Kansas farms regularly the farmers organized the anti-horse- thief association, which grew into a powerful and efficient organization that kept the thieves out of the State for years. In more recent years the same organization, having little to do with horses and cattle, has turned the same methods against motor car thieves. It has been signally sue cessful in this work.
 The merchants and bankers have watched the Anti -horsethief associa- tion grow. The merchants and bank

MANY CASES OF
 RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure and Eat
 Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground. avoid exposure, keep feet dry. eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take spoonful of salts occa- slonatly to keep down uric acid.
 Rheumatism is caused by poison- ous toxin, called uric acid, which is generated in the bowels ana absorb ed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly. cold weather the skin ports are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumu- Iatine and circulating thru the sys- tenn, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness sore ness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put table spoonful in glass of water and drink before breakfast each morn- ing for week. This is said to elim- mate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus rid ding the blood of these impurities
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and IS made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervcscent Whitewater drink, which overcomes uric acid and IS beneficial to your kidneys as we'll.
