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.

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.

To Discuss Grain Handling.
Colfax, Wash. 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.

IF BACKACHY
AND iraURI
Stop eating meat for a while if
your maaaer is irouming
you
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 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.
