No. 4, 1918 TEUTON SPIES ACTIVE Try to Paralyze Traffic and Hinder Movement of Coal Authorities Alert and Guard Doubled. New York Definite information said to have been obtained by the gov ernment that. German agent had been instructed to use all means to paralyze the effort to move freight and clear ships it understood here to be responsi ble for the doubling of guards Tuesday at ail piera, shipyards and terminals. Copies of Instructions sent to Ger man agents by the headquarters of the German Spy system are reported to have been obtained by agents of the United States government. Orders were received here Monday night to take all precautions to pre' vent attempts to do damage. Guards of all kinds, military and private, have been doubled at all points where shipping and shipping interests are concerned. In addition to extra guards, it was learned that orders were also issued to scrutinize with more than usual care the credentials of persons seeking to pass the barred zones. The orders came from Washington and were issued by telegraph. It was learned they called for prompt action. It is understood they applied not only to New York, but to every port on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. General observance of the first heat- less Monday was reported throughout the country. Many railroads were assisting in the effort to supply homes and trans-Atlantic shipping with coal, and were moving little general freight. Coal and food were virtually the only commodies moving, aside from a small amount of necessary war sup plies. The volume of coal reaching sea board for bunkering ships was steadily increasing. State Fuel administrators reported most office buildings, although per mitted certain exemptions, were burn- jng only enough coal to prevent freez ing of pipes. Department stores and other estab lishments generally were closed. PORTLAND AUTO SHOW SOON War Emphasizes Economic Importance of Automobiles as Never Before. Portland Special rates will be granted by the railroads to the coming big Portland Automobile, Truck and Tractor Show, which will be held in the new City Auditorium from Febru ary 7 to 13, inclusive. The war has emphasized the eco' nomic importance of the automobile as never before. One of the main pur poses of this automobile show will be to demonstrate the many ways in which the passenger automobile the truck and the . farm tractor can help business and industry and thereby add to the war resources of the nation. All the latest passenger car models will be shown, but the truck and the farm tractor particularly will have a place of honor at the show. The farm tractor has added tremendously to the agricutlural efficiency of France and Great Britain. In fact, farm tractors have helped so greatly to defeat the German submarine campaign by mak ing possible the cultivation of in creased acreage for food production, that the French and British govern ments have placed huge orders in this country for still more of them. The United States government is encouraging the use of tractors and trucks to offset the growing shortage of man power and horses and to in crease food production and business efficiency. Added to this is the fact that they are cheaper to operate than horses doirig only a small part of the work. A large attendance from outside points is expected during Automobile Show week. Special arrangements are being made for the reception of dealers and other visitors from out side of Portland. Artillery Fire Increases. Rome Increase in the artillery fire on the Italian northern front, between Brenta and the Piave, is reported in Tuesday's war office statement Some reconnoitering operations were carried out on both sides. The enemy's fire was directed against Italian positions south of Col Caprile. West of Osteria II Lepres, a few prisoners were taken in a small surprise action. Northwest of Monte Asoloe and in the valley of Ponte Delia Priula, attempts by enemy pa trols were promptly frustrated. Woman Slays Husband. Boise, Idaho George Burke, of Mountain Home, near here, was shot and instantlly killed by his wife, Mon day, as a culmination of a family quarrel. Mrs. Burke accused her hus band of anttempting to beat her. She says he fired the first shot, which went wide of the mark. Mrs. Burke fired two shots, both of which took effect. Mr. Burke was 65 years old. The cor oner's jury late Monday exonerated Mrs. Burke, who pleaded self-defense. Price-Fixing is Sought. Washington, D. C Draft of a bill giving the President broad powers to i fix prices of foods and other products ! essential to the conduct of the war or for domestic consumption was .laid be ! fore members of the house agriculture j committee Tuesday by President Wil son, with the request that it be pressed i for passage.

Balti more American. Coated tongue, vertigo and constipa tion are relieved by Garfield Tea. Adv YES! MAGICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freeaone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callous stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callous loosens so It can be lifted out, root and all, with out pain. A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callous. This should be tried as it Is Inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It Is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time. Adv. War Recipes Cut out tha following recipes and pasta them In your cook book tohelp you Hooverlze.

There is much di vergence of opinion among farmers and grain men in Whitman county over the sack or bulk methods of handling grain, and the question will probably come up for further discussion at the next meeting of the patriotic league. Advocates of both systems will be heard. A number of farmers have an nounced that they will beign as soon as lumber and carpenters can be secured, to build bulk warehouses on their own lands and at railroad stations and will handle their grain in bulk this year.

Meat forms urio acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood ana they become sort ot paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels;' remov ing all the body's urinous waBte, eUe you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the wea ther Is bad you nave rneumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, wa ter scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during tne 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 UBed 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. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It Is Inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, ef fervescent lithla-water drink. Adv. Would Kick at Anything.
