THE MORNING OREGONIAJT. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1916. STATE BUDGETS ARE PR01G PROBLEM Probability of Tax Limitation Measure Passing Stumps Board of Control. ' ESTIMATES ARE SUBMITTED. Probable Course Will Be to Recom mend Actual Xeeds and Iiet Leg islature Wrestle With Ques tion of Finances. SALEM. Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) Preparation of the budgets, containing estimates of the money which will be needed by the different state institu tions for the coming biennium, is prov ing a problem for members of the State Hoard of Control and heads of the insti tutions, because they are faced with the probability of the tax limitation measurepassing at the November elec tion. The questioni of the budgets came before the Board today when it met with heads of the institutions, but no definite action on them was taken. After the institution (superintendents have submitted their estimate of needs for the next two years, the Board will go over them carefully, probably next week, in an endeavor to cut out items which it is believed may be eliminated. Under the law the budgets must be ready 30 days before the Legislature convenes. ProbleiA la Hard One. , 'With the prospect of this tax limita tion measure passing, the board is up against a hard proposition," Treasurer Kay told the other members of the board. "If it passes, the Legislature will he forced to cut down on its appro priations so much that the state insti tutions may be crippled, ylt is apparent that the Legislature cannot well ap propriate -more money than can be raised by taxation, although it is under no legal restriction not to do it." As things now stand, the board prob ably will make recommendations for the actual needs of the institutions and keep as low as possible, leaving the problem of finding the money to the Legislature. A number of state insti tutions are now overcrowded and in need of enlargement and improvement, hut it was said today that if the tax limitation bill carries, no additional funds would be available. Medical Imtpectlons Provided. By arrangement with the State Board of Health, a number of Portland physi cians will make a survey of the schools for deaf mutes and the blind the latter part of this month. The inmates will be examined carefully to ascertain what special treatment may be necessary in order to improve their physical condi tion. Inspection of the prisoners In' the penitentiary by physicians to determine their health was advocated by Governor Withycombe, who said he had informa tion that men in Kastern prisons were always carefully tested as to their physical condition before being ad mitted. The Governor also deplored the num ber of idle men at the prison, saying that he noticed there were now 120 men within the walls doing nothing. Superintendent Minto advised the exec utive that it was the intention to start the school which was abandoned last Spring, when fire burned down the school building. The work of rebuild ing the burned structures, Mr. Minto said, was being done by convict labor. FEAT OF HEROISM KILLS Ashland Boy in Rescuing Party in Nevada Storm Exhausts Self. ASHLAND, Or..

LESS MEAT AND TAKE SALTS IF KIDNEYS HURT Says a Tablespoonful of Salts Flushes Kidneys, Stopping Backache. Meat Forms TJrio Acid, Which Ex cites Kidneys and Weakens Bladder. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir ritation. The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glasa 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 flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal ac tivity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.
