Boston Retail Dealers' Committee
Says Limit Xot Reached.
BOSTON, Jan. 12. "Have shoe
pricos reached the limit?" A com
mittee of tire Boston Retail Shoe
Dealers' association, after canvassing
tho situation, says "no." The ques
tion and answer are contained in a
reiort given out today by the com
mlr.teo. Kxplatning why higher prices are
to be expected, the report says:
"Shoes no$r on eale were made from
leather costing 60 cents to $1 a foot
ShO's now being made for spring are
from material costing 80 cents to
$1.25 a foot, plus higher costs for
other materials and additional grants
to labor, with less pairs per man pro
duced." Prices will go down, it was said,
when there is more leather and "less
demand for it," and "when strikes
cease and labor connected with shoes
: buckles down and produces more."
Shoe dealers advise people to shine
their own shoes. Aside from the
i eaving, the report said, "it is impor-
1 tant to know that the heat or fric
tion burning of the savage onslaught
of the professional shoe shiner is re-
; sponsible for most of the uppers
cracking.

ally, else we have backache and dull
misery in tha kidney region, severe
headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in tha kidney
region, get about four puncea of Jad
Salts from any good drug, store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter 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 is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. It also neu
tralizes the acids In the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad
der disorders,
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com
plications. A well-known local druggist says
lie eells lot of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble. Adv.
of one of the large livestock barns

the board decided to go before the

A resolution was adopted by the

NEWBERRY LOSES POINT
COURT DISMISSES DEMURRER
TO IXDICTME3TTS.
Congress Held to Have Authority to
Regulate Election of Members
and Nomination Also.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.. Jan. 12.
Authority of congress to regulate not
only the election of its members but
their nomination was upheld by Fed
eral Judge Sessions today in dismiss
ing a general demurrer- to indictments
against Senator Truman H. New
berry, from Michigan, and 134 others
charged with violation of the elec
tion laws.
As a result, the trial will commence
as scheduled January 27.
In arguing for dismissal of the in
dictments defense counsel attacked
the constitutionality of the general
election laws and application to the
present case of the mail fraud sec
tion of the United States criminal
code. Judge Sessions passed over the
counts charging violation of the pos
tal laws with the statement that any
fraud, no matter what its nature, if
the mails are used in its furtherance,
comes within .the meaning of that
section of the criminal code.
Considering federal election laws
in conjunction with the state stat
utes, 'Judge Sessions declared "it is
clear if they are valid that the re
spondent, Truman H. Newberry, could
not lawfully give or cause to be given
any sum in excess of $3750, one-half
of the annual salary of a member of
congresA in procuring his nomination
and election, and such sum could be
expended for no other purpose than
those enumerated in the statutes of
Michigan."
The indictment charged that be
tween $500,000 and $1,000,000 was ex
pended on behalf of Senator New
berry in the 1918 campaign.

ern department of the army. White
also was charged with absence with
out leave.
In disapproving the findings of the
court-martial. General Liggett said:
"The evidence was ample and suffi
cient to have justified the court in
finding the accused guilty as to each
specification, under both charges, and
it is impossible to understand upon
what theory the court found the ac
cused not guilty."
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.,
Jan.- 12. (Special.) Private. Joseph
White was arrested on a statutory
charge while he was on recruiting
duty. The woman, who was arrested
on the same charge, was tried and
sentenced to Walla Walla. It is be

again at liberty. While White and the
woman were together her husband
came up from California and caused
the arrest. 'White was brought here,
court-martialed, sentenced to eeveral
months' imprisonment and later re
stored to duty.
At Camp Lewis, Wash., he was tried
for perjury, was acquitted and re
stored to duty, coming here. He asked
for leave of absence a few days before
Christmas, which was refused for
good and sufficient reasons, and
about December 24 White left. Noth
ing has been heard from him since,
though telegrams have been sent out
in an effort to locate him.
