BOK FOR OIL FINISHED When you wake up with back ache and dull misery In the kid ney region It generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known author ity. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their ef forts to. filter it from, the blood and they become sort of para lyzed and loggy. When your kid neys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous - waste, else you have backache, sick headache. dizy spells; "your Btomach sours, tongue Is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheu matic twinges. The urine is Soon to Know if There Is to Be an Oil Boom in the Salem District A number of x Salem people drove down to the oil well this side of St. Paul on Sunday, and witnessed the work of boring. The bit at the bottom of the bole was in shale on Sunday, and the boring was easy. . The hole is a foot in diameter, and it is 700 feet deep. The drill is a rotary one, the bit at the end of the big steel rod being 12 inches in diameter hence the bole a foot wide. The bit grinds the rock and sand encountered into fine particles, cloudy, full of sediment, channels nd theae are washed to the top often get sore, water scalds and ou are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.

In opposing the comrritte rate, Senator Hitchcock. Demo crat, Nebraska, declared the Am erican people were "tired of hav ing their pockets picked" and wanted to see further price re ductions.

Democrats Contest Point Senators Frelinghuysen, New Jersey and Sutherland, WTest Vir ginia, Republicans, supported th committee rate, arguing that this duty was necessary to protect the American industry which Crew up during the war. Demo cratic senators contested this view, pointing to small imports and high ocean freights in this commodity. Remarking that this tiling en tered into the construction ot homes. Senator Underwood of Ala bama, the Democratic leader, laid the issue was fairly Joined on this item. Senator Frelinghuy sen proposing a tax that would equalize the difference between the cost of production in this country plus the manufacturers profit and the cost of laying down the foreign goods in this country without taking into ac count the importers' profit. This wouM mean a prohibitive tariff, he .argued. Attorney General Van Winkle yesterday explained the procedure necessary in event a recount of the Oregon Republican primary ballot for poTcraor or a recount of any part of it should be vU-n.anJ-od. j The rH-ouat would he instituted by a contest of the election filed by the candidate having the low est of a close vote. This would be. filed in the eircuit courts of the respective counties. Should the court find sufficient ground for a recount he would order it to be made and the recount of the bal lots would take place in his pres ence by such officers as he might appaoint for the purpose. The law for contesting elections pro vides that appeal may be taken to the sipreme court. The official canvass of the votes, following every election, is made by the county canvassing board.
