gates conference.
Weeks Issues Statement.
Secretary Weeks suddenly opened
the door, called waiting newspaper
men, and said:
IF l were a newspaper man l
would write that Borah would be
nominated for Vice President. al
though other candidates names will
be placed before the convention"
Several of the other conferees,
leaving Immediately afterwards, sup
ported tSe statement OF the War
Secretary.
Within fifteen minutes Mr.. Butler,
receiving a committee representing g
the farm states conference, outlined
cred necessary for the vice presi-
Dental candidate this year. He con-
cluded by saying that Senator Borah
possessed those characteristics to a
greater degree, than any one else,
that word had been received that
Senator Borah would take the place.
and that the senator was acceptable
to Mr.. Coolidge.
The statement was authorize on be-
half of Mr. Butler later that Senator
Borah had generally been found suit
able and that, according to word from
Washington, he would not decline the
nomination if the convention should
! thrust the honor upon him.
BOrah Upsets Plan.
All of the leaders. tired after hours
of conferences and fatigued from loss
of sleep. retired for the night, think
problems had been solved. The state
ment from Senator Borah in Washing
ton came like a thunderbolt about an
hour later. but newspaper men were
able to arouse only Secretary Weeks.
and he confined his comment to the
statement:
I'VE were assured directly by Sena-
tor Borah that he would accept the
nomination"
The western delegates. representing
thirteen agricultural states, had been
casting about for a "farmer-minded''
candidate, but the lines had fallen
among favorite-Son Snags, when the
invitation came from Mr.. Butler to
send up the committee. Afterward.
upon receiving the committees report
about Senator Borah, they discussed
him pro and con. some saying they had
wanted him all along. but thought he
wouldn't accept, and others saying
they didn't want him even then, but all
have been answered, and it was long
past bedtime.
Watson Mentioned.
Meanwhile. the Indiana delegation
had taken the warpath for Senator
Watson. 1t decided to put the sena-
| tors name before the convention to-
day, and jumped into the maelstr rom
of maneuvering with long white paper
| ribbons Haunting in bright red their
slogan, Watson for Vice President"
The Colorado delegation at the
same time determined to press the
candidacy of Senator Phipps, and a
| boom of Charles B. Warren of Michi-
gan. ambassador to Mexico. chairman
| of the resolutions committee, former
envoy to Japan, and general 60 getter
| for the party, rose out of the night
session of the convention.
Nor were the chances of Gov. Hyde

Borah Refuses Offer.
The newspaper men were astonished
They knew all about Senator Borah's
conferences with President Coolidge
in the last fortnight, conferences in
which Mr.. Borah said something to
this effect to the President:
There's no use talking about me
for the vice presidency. 1 would have
to recant on my beliefs, which I
would not do, or you would have to
recede from your views on certain
subjects, which know you would not
do"
So the reporters telephoned Sen
ator Borah and asked him if he had
changed his mind. He reiterated his
position and telegraphed the leaders
here that he would not accept. The
latter insisted they had received as
SuranceS to the contrary.

GERMANY NOW BUYING
COTTON FOR SPINNING
$1O,OO0,O0O Credit Declared
Established in This Country
By Mills There

ATLANTA, Feb. ga mar
ket for Southern cotton that has
been closed since the starting of
the world war now is being re-
opened through the reviving az
tivity of the German textile mills in
buying and making use of many
thousands of bales of cotton from
the Southern states, it was stated
here today by Atlanta cotton men.
This, it was claimed, will result in
German spinners taking one hun
bred million dollars worth of cot
ton in the United States during
the coming crop year, thus creating
a demand for the South's cotton in
a field that has been closed for
nearly ten years.
Up to January /, of this year, It
was pointed out here, Germany had
purchased 100000 bales of cotton
in America and representatives OF
the cotton spinning industry there
have it is claimed established a
$10,000,00O credit with American
bankers. 1t is added that at least
100000 bales in addition to the 500,
600 bales already recorded sold.
will be required by Germany during
the new crop year.
Germany as a nation is bankrupt
ard million, Of German PEOPLE a2e
in dire want, according to Atlanta
bankers. but German financiers and
captains of industry still are able
to finance industry in that country,
and really the rehabilitation of
German business and industry, il
was pointed out, is about the only
thing that can give relief to the
masses in that country through af-
fording employment to them at
something like living wages.

ing too much rich food creates acids,
which excite the kidneys. They become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood. Then we get
sick. Rheumatism, headaches. liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive. full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at

drinking quart of water each day.

from any pharmacy; take tablespoon
full in glass of water before breakfast,
and in few days your kidneys may act

This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water drink

often avoiding serious kidney complica-
