Tired Husbands Find ~ Jobs Under Pressure 0f Nonsupport Law Chicago, Nov. 1.—Two thousand husbands in Chicago, who, a year ago, were too tired or ton ill to work, have gone out and got jobs sirce the pas- sage of the non-support act by the last legislature. ~ Statistics in the munici- pal court today showed that since the assage of the act making a husband riahlc to criminal prosecution if he failed to support his wife, there have been 2,000 fewer complaints made than during the first ten months of 1915. Formerly a wife had no re- dress against a shiftless husband, so long as he did not desert her. The influence of the law on divorce records was shown in the fact that nine pplications for decree this year have Deen from persons who formerly had aired their troubles in the court of do- mestic relations. A year ago 410 di- vorces came from the domestic court. Auto Men Decide to Help Make New Laws If you want legislation to favor you, go forth and make the laws.

A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS | Washington, Nov. 1.—Growth of the country’s banking resources since passage of the federal reserve act is put at $6,500,000,000 in a statement is- sued today by the comptroller of the treasury. The record is declared té be without a parallel. The figures cover the period from July, 1913, a few months before the act was passed, to July, 1916, includ- ing nearly all of the first two year$ of the European war. The increase in resources, it is de- clared, is greater than the total re- sources of all the country’s national banks a little more’ than a decade ago. In New England the three years' in- crease has been 21 per cent, in the castern states 32, in the southern 12, in the middle states 32 and in the west 31, Jump in Deposits. Deposits since the reserve act went intg force have made an unprecedent- ed jump also. Their total increase is put at $6,250,000,000, or 31.per cent, nearly as great as the resource in- crease. In New England it was 23 per cent, in the east 39, the south 18, the mldfl]c states 26, the west 37 and the Pacific states 19. . Banks and trust'companies are lend- ing $3,250,000,000 more than they were three years ago, the statement says. Emphasis is laid upon a distinct and growing tendency towards decentrali- zation and distribution of “excessive reserves heretofore piled up in eastern | 5 | served, says that the clause proposing cities.” This has been especially true during the last féw months. In the four and one-half months from May 1 to September 12, this vear, deposits in New /York City “decreased nearly $250,000,000, increasing heavily mean- while in country banks. Figures Outside of East. Outside of New England and the|p eastern states the following states show a notable resource increase in three years: Illinois, $363,000,000, or 20-per: cent; Ohio, $317,000,000, or 22 per cent; Cal- ifornia, $247,000,000, or 20 per cent; Michigan, $221,000,000, or 37 per cent; Minnesota, - $198,000,000, or 40 per cent; Missouri, $116,000,000, or 14 per cent; Iowa, $107,000,000, or 17 per cent; Wisconsin, $88,000,000, or 21 per cent; Nebraska, $78,000,000, or 28 per cent; Indiana, $69,000,000, or 13 per cent; Oklahoma, $68,000,000, or 41 per cent; Kansas, $63,000,000, or 24 per cent; Texas, $60,000,000, or 12 per cent; Virginia, $52,000,000, or 21 per cent; North Dakota, $47,000,000, or 42 per cent; Colorado, $42,000,000, or 23 er cent; South Dakota and Montana, $37,000,000, or 33 per cent each.

Asks $20,000 for One Blind Optic Micheal Marone has brought suit in the district court of the Unpited States against the Union Pacific, al- leging that on July 7, 1916, while cut- ting a steel rail with a sledge ham- mer and chisel, a piece of the rail flew off, injuring his right eye to such an extent that he lost the use of the organ. He also claims that as the result his left eye is impaired. The plaintiff asks for $20,000 dam- ages.

W. | which Ray, of Blockton, Ala. Continuing, he says, “Physicians cannot even begin the treat- ment of a disease without knowing what causes giverise to it, and we must remem- ber that headache 18 to be treated accord- | ing to the same rule. We must not only be particular to give a remedy intended to counteract the cause which produces the headache, but we must also give a remedy to relieve the pain until the cause of the trouble has been removed. To answer this purpose, anti-kamnia_tablets will be found & most convenient and satisfactory remedy.

MADE BY BRECKINRIDGE North Adams, Mass., Nov. 1.—The alleged weakening posteript to the Lusitan‘m note to Germany regarding “strict accountability” was again re- ferred to by Senator Lodge at political meeting here tonight. “The president of the United States has denied that there was any post- script to the Lusitania note and we are all bound, of course, to accept the president’s denial just as he makes it,” said Senator Lodge. “I need hardly say,” he added, “that 1 would not willingly bring in an un- founded charge against any one, high or low, and if misled into doing so 1 should be quick to retract it. The president makes one mistake. The statement which he characterizes as untrue, that there was such a post- script, was not mine, but was made by Mr. Breckinridge, a former assist- ants secretary of war, according to the evidence of two independent wit- nesses, both gentlemen of high char- acter, responsibility and veracity and Mr. Breckinridge was in a position to know, if, as he is reported to have said, he had seen the postscript. “Bearing \in mind the public and the hitherto uncontroverted fact that Mr. Bryan had informed the Austro- Hungarian ambassador that the ‘strict accountability’ note of May 15, meant nothing, which fact was at once cabled by the ambassador to Berlin, it seemed to me that Mr., Breckin. ridge’s statements as testified to by two independents, ought properly to be laid before the public. “The president, it will also be ob- arbitration ‘was suggested’ and that after consideration he rejected it. This suggestion rejected by the presi- dent, covered the exact proposition said by Mr. Breckinridge to have been embodied in the postscript and may have been what Mr. Breckinridge had had in mind when talking to Dr. ailey and Mr. Jefferis about the postscript, which was rejected with- out having been referred to the cabinet, ‘and it may also have been the reason for Mr. Bryan's statement to the Austro-Hungarian ambassador that the note meant nothing. “I would also call your attentiomr to a statement by Mr.«Charles War- ren, \republican presidential elector of New Jersey, who states that he was told by a member of President Wilson's official family that the prop- osition to arbitrate the loss of life on the Lusitania was to be embodied in a note to Ambassador Gerard and was not to be a postscript to the ‘strict accountability’ note. Social Glass vs. Kidneys O Strong drinks like beer, whiskey, tea and coffee, irritate the kidneys and “habitual use tends to weaken them.

Eighteenth St. says: “My kidneys were very irregular in action and caused me considerable trouble. My back ached pretty much all the time.

Columbus, O., Nov. 1.—Coal opera- fors tonight predicted that the retail price of bituminous coal would reach $10 per ton in Ohio in the near future if the present demand and the short- age of coal cars in the s$tate service continues. Soft coal was bought at $5 per ton at the mines today, the highest price since 1903, during the anthracite strike. Jobbers were selling at from $6 to $7.50 per ton as a result. Slack is being sold in the mine-run-class at $5 per ton. The announcement of the operators’ prediction is coincident to the prders of Governor Willis for the Public Utilities commission to make an in- vestigation of the coal car shortage i the state and its effect on prices.

If back hurts or Bladder bothers stop all meat for a while. | When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well- known authority, Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzec and loggy. When your kidneys gq sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels removing all the body's ufinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather -is had you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is clondy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are nbligrd_m Seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder weakness.

A GREAT INDUSTRIAL PLANT DISBURSING NEARLY A MILLION DOL- LARS IN NEBRASKA ANNUALLY. - ONE AMONG MANY INDUSTRIES THAT WOULD BE DESTROYED BY A PROHIBITION LAW. An Argument Against the Amendment From an Entirely New Angle. Mr. Nebraska Voter: ~ Prohibition, if adopted, would close and destroy the operating value of Nebraska’s only distillery, an industry which brings large sums of money into the state, because 80% of its produet is shipped to other states. Yet pro- hibition would not in the.least aid in solving the drink problem, because the consumption of distillery prod\llcts in Nebraska would remain just about the sam¢, only they would be shipped in from other states. Of the remaining 20% sold in Nebraska, probably one-half is used for non-beverage purposes, absolutely necessary in the trades, in the arts, in medicine and for many other uses. The many hospitals, flavoring extract and cologne manufacturers, pharmaceutical houses, drug- gists, ete., now supplied from here, would have to pur-’ chase from eastern distillers, We bhave for forty-five years done a strictly legiti- mate business, religiously obeying the law, and during that time have disbursed thirty-five million dollars in Nebraska, nearly all of which has found its way to Ne- braska workmen, tradesmen, farmers, etec.
