Receipt for Liquor.
Prohibition authorities were told
to give the captain Of the Baltic q
receipt for the wet supply and t.
hold all OF the liquor pending fur
Their word from the Treasury about
disposition.
The entire liquor supply on the
Baltic, except that certified for
medicinal purposes, must be removed
at once, the Treasury Department
advised Collector Of the Port Citing,
In New York.
Nothing was said in the Treasury
order about arresting Captain Rob-
erts, OF the Baltic, for alleged viola
ton OF the dry law, and 1t is not
believed that any action of this
kind will be taken.
The British ambassador, Sir Auck-
land Geddes, Immediately was noti-
fled OF the Treasury decree, and
further was advised that similar ac-
ton would be taken when the liner
Berengaria docks in New York later
in the day. Like the Baltic, the
Berengaria has an excess supply OF
liquor, under British seal, intended
for consumption of guests on the
return voyage. The Berengaria 10

wet goods came as surprise to
Geddes. He had not known she
carried excess supplies and thought
the Berengaria would arrive first
For this reason he does not intend
to protest the Baltic seizure, but
intimated that a formal protest
would be handed the State Depart.
ment as soon as the Berengaria
locked and her liquor seals broken
by customs officers.
Disposition In Doubt.
Just what actiona was contem.
plated by Federal authorities over
liquor taken off the Baltic could
not be definitely ascertained either
at the Treasury or state depart.
ments. For the time being, how.
ever, Il will be held in custody. Of
prohibition authorities, awaiting a
protest from the British embassy
here.
The State Department refused to
comment on the possible effect OF
protest. other than to intimate II
would be the subject for diplomatic
negotiations between this Govern
rneTt and Great Britain.
Test Agreement Claimed.
At the Treasury Department to-
day officials said there is an under
standing between the Treasury and
the British embassy that the British
government seals be broken aboard
tho Berengaris and other ships
bringing beverage liquors, in order
to make a test case under the liquor
regulations.
There was much speculation about
the procedure TO be followed after
American customs officials break
the seals and selze the liquor. 1t
was suggested that such action by
American agents would be followed
promptly by a formal protest to
Secretary Of State Hughes. At the
State Department 1t was said that
the new phase Of foreign ship liquor
enforcement holds the possibility al
serious complications, but no relax
alton in the regulations Is possible
without Congressional action.

main action in the George Melford Production of "The Sea Wolf which is coming to the Coliseum Theatre next Thursday and makes what fol- lows more striking and impressive. The prologue represents the Hall of Nations, where the nations of the earth are all striving to gain the ear of the world, a harassed little man ill the centre. A group of urchins, representing the nations born out of the great war, engage in violent quarrel. The spirit of violence or mob rule is effectively illustrated and the question is frankly put, Will violence ever cure the woes of the
 world?"
 This is a closeup with Jack Lon don's thrilling story Noah Beery graphically portrays the role Of Wolf and the rest of the cast is Of
 high merit.

IF BACK HURTS
 BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally by Drinking Quarts of
 Good Water.

No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys oc- casionally. says a well-known auth ority. Too much rich food creates acids which clog the kidney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood. Then you get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble. nervousness. constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder dis orders often come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a ulll ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of sediment. irregular of pas sage. or attended by sensation of scalding, begin to drink soft water in quantities.; also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any re- liable pharmacy and take table spoon in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine.
 This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to actiy ity, also to help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders.
 Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful ef- fervescent Whitewater drink. which everyone can take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby often preventing serious kidney complications. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.

This is the ini- maculately-garbed, suave-mannered orchestra leader, the same who in g less excitable era was neither so ;.n. maculate nor so suave, knowing as hs did then, more of the downs than the ups of life. Now as Prime Minister to King Jazz, he swings nonchalantly
