Americus, Ga.—“l have been
using Jones’ Balsam of Ben
zoin for quite a long time, in
fact, almost as soon as you be

extremely good as a family lin
iment. For such things as cuts,
bruises, burns, swellings, aches
and pains, sores, etc., etc., I
find it does what you say for it.
I feel no hesitancy in recom
mending Jones’ Balsam of Ben*
zoin to my friends, acquaint
ances and the public general

This Balsam should be in ev
ery home. A trial convinces.

HUGHES SMS HO '
TIME Hill PEACE
FORMER SUPREME COURT JSUTICE
DECLARES THAT PEACE' WITH
GERMANY MUST NOT BE CON SI I)-
ERED NOW.
NEW YORK, March 7—" This is not
a time for the discussion of peace.
There can be at this time, it is quite
evident, no negotiated peace but a
German peace.”
So declared former Supreme Court
Justice Charles E. Hughes last night
in an address in the Aldine Club
which aroused to a pitch of the wild
est enthusiasm 600 members and
guests at a patriotic gathering of the
St. David’s Society.
“I would not disguise from you the
solicitude I feel at this time,” said Mr.
Hughes. “It is a most serious moment
It is a time when we see Germany
reaching out and seeking to lay thj
foundations of an extended empire,
threatening the future peace of the
world and the seurity not only of the
fre peoples of Europe, but the secruity
of the United States.
“It is made plain to all of us by
tlie events of the past few days, the re
cent days, that this is not the time
even to think of peace. We are con'
fronted by a tremendous task. I
question whether #e in this country
begin to realize the extent of the ef
fort that will be required at our hands.
If anything would demonstrate to us
the character of this exigency, it is
what is now happening in Russia.
“There is only one thing, in my
judgment which will give us a peace
worth having, and that is either a
military decision or a conviction on
the part of Germany of the hopeless
ness of success in this ill-starred
policy of seeking to dominate the
world.
“There is but one way to produce
that conviction in Germany—that
success in this policy is unattainable.
The conviction will be produced only
bv a demonstration of an invincible
determination on the part of the
United States to bring all her re
sources willingly and without hesi
tation to the final test, without any
thought of peace until the test is met
success is assured.”
LOSES HILF MILLION
ON THE SHEEN HOLE
NEW YORK, March 7.—That a
prominent New York banker had lost
$500,000 gambling in a New York club
composed entirely of wealthy men was
a story told at the district attorney’s
office yesterday. The club is under in
vestigation.
The banker is a millionaire several
times over. The losses, it is said, ex
tended over a period of about a year.
The club meets in a hotel which has
rot figured until now in the inquiry.
The game played was chemin de
fer, and SI,OOO is mentioned as the
smallest amount at which the bank
was first started. It was sometimes
doubled several times, so that from
SIO,OOO to $50,000 was not an unusual
bank.
Information that professional gam ;
biers had got themselves admitted to
some of the games was the factor
that prompted the prosecutor to in
clude it in his inquiry.
John Doe is to be very busy begin
ning next Monday, when the hearings
will be resumed. Judge Wadhams
has promised to dold all-day sessions
instead of two-hour hearings as here
tofore. Assistant District Attornev
Smith has had scouts out in the big
financial circles, with the result that
it is announced there is a lot of big
game in sight.
Respectability and a high financial
rating will not stand in the way of
disclosures, the assurance is given.
Wildcats Stop Mining.
Three wildcats tied up operations at
the mines of the Abel (Pa.) Coal com
pany and Incidentally cut down the
production 200 tons.
The animals had been prowling
about the mines for a week or more,
and on one morning, the heavy white
I frost on the ground showed the mln-
I ers that the cats had gone into the
mines.
I There was no evidence of their hav
• ing come out. and the miners assem
bled at the entrance and sent some of
the men to get glins.
On account of the unusual condi
tions existing In the mines it was late
before the last cat was killed. No coal
was mined while the men were hunt
ing the cats.

LN SCUTE SHHHEISE
IN SHiPPIRG MNI6E
CHICAGO, March 7.—What is said
to be the most thorough and accurate
analysis of the shipping situation yet
presented was made public today by
the National Committee of Patriotic
Societies.
After a long and patient inquiry, in
which all available sources of infor
mation were used, the organization
I concludes that the “present acute
I shortage” in shipping is at least 7,-
, 425, 894 gross tons This estimate is
based on the amount of shipping in
existence at the opening of the war.
the tonnage built since then and the
los es during the same period.
These figures place the amount of
tenage available for the United States
a: the allies today at 4.435.894 gross
tens less than the opening of the war.
To this figure the report adds 3,00,00'1
lens as the minimum necessary to
t ansport the United States forces to
the war zone and keep them supplied
v'th food, clothing, ammunition and
other necessaries.
At the outbreak of the war there
v. eve 42,574,537 gross tons of shipping
in the whole world, excluding German
and Austrian vessels.
Vessels built during the war and in
terned enemy ships seized, less 11,

present tonnage of the world at 38,-

Gays Backache is a sign you have been I
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.
When you Wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
erally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
I get sluggish and clog you must relieve
j them, like you relieve your bowels: re-
I moving all the body’s urinous waste,
I else yon have backache, sick headache,
i dizzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue
i is coated, and when the weather is bad
i you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
: is cloudy, fall of sediment, channels often
I get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
: to seek relief two or three times during
i the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
, cian at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Saits; take
I a tablespoonfiil in a glass of water
j before breakfast for a few days and your
i kidneys will then act fine. Thia famous
salts is mode from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
rsdce&t utliia-water drink.
SEVEN DAYS IN JAIL
FOR TAKING LIFE OF
UNFAITHFUL FRIEND
NEW YORK, March 7.—Seven days
in the city prison will be twenty-two
year-old Jennie Mattana’s punishment
for killing the man she says wronged
i her and then refused to marry her.
With her baby in her arms, Miss
Mattana pleaded guilty to manslaught
er in the first degree efore County
Judge Dike in Broklyn yesterday. She
had been indicted for murder in the
first degree for shooting and killing
Giovanni Passiglio of No 19 Stagg
street, Brooklyn. Her baby was born
in jail three weeks ago.
When the case was called yester
day morning District Attorney Lew's
said:
“I believe the ends of justice will be
met if this young woman is permit
ted to plead guilty to manslaughter.
She has already suffered severely.”
When Judge Dike accepted the plea
and announced his sentence of seven
days in jail which is believed to be
the lightest recorded for such an of
fense, the prisoner lost the poise she
had steadily maintained since her ar
rest. For a few moments she sob
bed, then said to the judge.
“Oh, I thank you, I thank you. I’ll
try to see that no one ever regrets
what you are doing for me.”
Miss Mattana lived at No. 155 Boe
rum. street, Brooklyn. After the shoot
ir.g she told the police that Passiglo
had promised to marry her after an
ardent wooing. When her condition
became delicate he grew- cold and
blushed aside with excuses her pleas
that he marry her. Twice within a
few days before she killed him, she
smcl. Passiglio refused to make good
his promise of marriage. ?
MRS. TURETSKIN GETS
DAMAGE VERDICT FOR
INJURY TO HER SHIN
NEW YORK, March 7. —Wen Mrs
Bella Turetskin, thirty-nine, of No.
1563 Wilking avenue, the Bronx, was
.■ bride of two weeks she stepped on
a manhole cover, which tilted severe
ly. injuring one of her legs.
That was on Jan. 18, 1917. Yester
day she won a verdict for SIO,OOO in
the Supreme court. Bronx county, from
the Street Coal Company of the Bronx.
The same jury adarded her husband,
Mrs. Turetskin had sued for $25,000
and her husband for $15,000.
The coal company had been deliver
ing coal through the manhole and was
found negligent in not having put the
cover back securely in place. A mo
tion to set aside the verdict as exces
sive was denied by Justice Donnelly.
About Two Tons.
Joseph Conrath makes and repairs
violins and other musical instruments,
relates the Indianapolis News. The
government had him on its list as a
manufacturer and sent him one of its
formal Inquiries as to how much coal
he uses annually. In the proper place
he wrote down “About two tons.” That
is really more than he uses, but he dis
liked to put down the exact truth. His
manufacturing is done by hand and
though he has to heat his two rooms
in a Virginia avenue business block,
the floors, ceilings and walls absorb so
much heat from rooms below, above
and back of him that his fuel cost Is
nominal.
