States evidence is the evidence
produced by the government in
criminal prosecution. The term also
applies to a person who gives such
evidence. When a person impli-
Gated in a crime voluntarily con-
fesses his share and gives testimony
that will incriminate his accom-
plices he is said to turn states evil
dence," namely, he becomes a wit
ness for the state. In such cases
there Is generally an express or Inn
piled promise on the part Of the
authorities that they will not pros
ecute the witness who thus testi-
fies, or that he will at least be dealt
with leniently. Prosecutors do not
usually promise such immunity un-
less there is insufficient evidence to
convict the defendant without the
testimony in Observation-Disclosures
Magazine.

Of distress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region, rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri-
tation.
The moment your back hurts or kid

bothers you, begin drinking lots Of
good water and also get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
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 flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to activ-
ity; also to neutralize the acids in
the system so that they no longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone:

BY JOHN E. NEvIN, Jr.

Selection of a committee Of
three to study the calculation Of

last night by John G. Lonsdale,
president of the American Bank

siderable interest in local finan-
cial circles. Robert v. Fleming.
president Of the Riggs National
Bank of this city, was one of
the, trio selected to conduct the
probe.
Other members of the COM
mittee which President Lonsdale
announced are Thomas B. Nc
Adams, of the State Planters
Bank and Trust Company. Rich
mond, Va, and j. r. LeaVall,
executive vice president of the
Continental Illinois Bank and
Trust Company of Chicago. The
committee has been asked to de-
termine whether it will be advis-
able to recommend the carrying
Of average reserves in place of
daily ones. This would make
membership in the Federal Re
serve system an advantageous
one for banks.
At present the allowance for
average reserves Is only for a
short period, and then at certain
intervals. This is looked upon as
unsatisfactory and the commit
tee will study the provisions with
a view Of having it changed, it
was indicated.
Fitting of the reserve system
to the needs of the bank is one
of the things which is expected tc
come from the study Local

the research and declared that i

that he thought it probable thai
