 RESTS ON LAND
MRS, CROCkER SAYS HUSBANDS SPIRIT CALLS THERE OFTEN

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Mrs. Bula Edmondson Croker, who arrived from Ireland, said that she had been in spiritualistic communication with her husband, the late Tammany chief tain, off and on.

 She gets all her instructions from hiMl Sby vibrations, she said. In the gardens of Croker castle, the vlbra- tions were especially powerful as she walked among the roses MT. Croker had planted and tended.
 Ever since the death of her hus- band, people who oppose his spirit ually expressed wishes invaribly suffer, according to Mrs. Croker. She told of realtor in Florida who has sued her for $100,O0O.
 "I knew that ill-luck would befall him." she related. T learned that while I was away his favorite son was killed aand tht he himself came near death in an automobile collis- ion. MT. Croker tells me that if this man continues to sue me unjustly he will have two more punishments to face, one of which may cost him his life''

conditions American consuls could

edge that the immigrants would have
to be excluded upon arrival in
America. He approved suggestions
for combining passport vises immi
grafton certificates to simplify con-
Sular work.
1T seems to me- said Mr.. Hughes.
that it would be very unfavorable
to pass law generally understood
to accomplish something which, as
a matter of fact. it does not ac-
complish. IL it is the sense of con-
gress that there should be a
thorough examination of prospective
immigrants in the tAmericanD con-
sulates to ascertain, so far as pos
sible whether they are subject to
exclusion under the immigration law,
and that the consuls have authority
Ia refuse immigration certificates to
those who appear to be subject to
exclusion, | shall, of course, be glad
To meet with the committees for the

amendments to the bill"
He added that while he saw no
objection under internati law to
making such a change in the immi-
grafton system, it was important ito
bear in mind hat IL would add con-
siderably to the work of the con-
sulates and require a proportionate
appropriation to carry 1t OFT

1T is for Congress to decide" Mr..
Hughes added. what part, If any,
consuls are to participate in the en-
forcement of the immigration law.
One of Secretary Hughes suGges-

would extend exemption of the quota

sleeplessness. bladder disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel Gull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts. or II
the urine Is cloudy. offensive. full of
sediment, irregular of passage, or at
tended by sensation OF scalding,
begin TO drink soft water in quanti-
ties: also get about four ounces OF
dad Salts from any reliable phar-
macy and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for n
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine. =
This famous salts is made from the
.acil Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has. been used
for years to help flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to activity,
also to help neutraliZe the acids in
the system so they no longer cause
irritation, thus often relieving blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cam
