Two thbusand husbands in Chicago, who, a year ago, were too tired or too illto work, have gone out and got jobs since the pas sage of the non-support act by the last legislature. Statistics in the munici pal court today showed that since the fiassage of the act making a husband iable to criminal prosecution if he failed to support his wife, there have been 2,000 fewer complaints made than during the first ten months of 1915. Formerly a wife had no re dress against a shiftless husband', so long as he did not desert her.

A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS Washington, Nov. 1. Growth of the country's banking resources since passage of the federal reserve act is put at $6,500,000,000 in a statement is sued today by the comptroller of the treasury. The record is declared t5 be without a parallel. . The figures cover the period from July, 1913, a few months before the act was passed, to July, 1916, includ ing nearly all of the first two years of the European war. The increase in resources, it is de dared, is greater than the total re sources of all the country's national banks a tittle more' than a decade ago. In New England the three years' in crease has been 21 per cent, in the eastern states 32, in the southern 12, in the middle states 32 and in the west 31. Jump in Deposits. Deposits since the reserve act went into force have made an unprecedent ed jump also. Their total increase is put at $6,250,000,000, or 31 per cent, nearly as great as the resource in crease. In New England it was -23 per cent, in the east 39, the south 18, the middle states 26, the west 37 and the Pacific states 19. Banks and trust'eomoanies are lend ing $3,250,000,000 more than they were three years ago, the statement says. Emphasis is laid upon a distinct and growing tendency towards decentrali zation and distribution of "excessive reserves heretofore piled up in eastern cities." This has been especially true during the last few months. In the four and one-half months from May 1 to September 12, this year, deposits in New York Citv 'decreased nearlv $250,000,000, increasing heavily mean while in country banks.

Various Forms Of Headache "It li necessary In order to treat head aches properly to understand the causes rhioh produce the affection" says Dr. J. W. Ray, of Blockton, Ala. Continuing, he says, "Physlclaas cannot even begin the treat ment of a disease without knowing what causes glrerlse to it, andve must remem ber that headache Is to be treated accord ing to the same rule. We must not only be particular to give a remedy Intended to counteract the cause which produces the headache, but vse must also give a remedy to relieve the pain until the cause of the trouble baa been removed. To answer this purpose, antl-kamnla tablets will be found a most convenient and satisfactory remedy. One tablet every one to three hours gives comfort and rest In the most severe cases of headache, neuralgia and particularly the beadaches of women."

MADE BY BRECKINRIDGE North Adams, Mass., Nov. 1. The alleged weakening nostcriot to the Lusitania note to Germany regarding "strict accountability" was again re ferred to by Senator Lodge at political meeting here tonight.y 'The president of the United States has denied that there was any post script to the Lusitania note and we are all bound, of course, to accept the president's denial just as he makes it," said Senator Lodge. "I need hardly say," he added, "that I would not willingly bring ill an un founded charge against any one, high or Tow, and if misled into doing so I should be quick to retract it. The president makes one mistake. The statement which he characterizes as untrue, that there was such a post script, was not mine, but was made by Mr. Breckinridge, a former assist ant secretary of war, according to the evidence of two independent wit nesses, both gentlemen of high char acter, responsibility and veracity and Mr. Breckinridge was" in a position to know, if, as he is reported to have said, he had seen the postscript, i "Bearing tin mind the public and the hitherto uncontroverted fact that Mr. Bryan had informed the Austro Hungarian ambassador that the 'strict accountability' note of May 15, meant nothing, which fact was at once cabled by the ambassador to Berlin, it seemed to me that Mr. Breckin ridge's statements as testified to by two independents, ought properly to be laid before the public. "The president, it will also be 'ob served, says that the clause proposing arbitration 'was suggested' and that after consideration he rejected it. This suggestion rejected by the presi dent, covered the exact proposition said by Mr. Breckinridge to have been embodied in the postscript and may have been what Mr. Breckinridge had had in mind when talking to Dr. Bailey and Mr. Jefferis about the postscript, which was rejected with out having been referred to the cabinet, and it may also have been the reason for Mr. Bryan's statement to the Austro-Hungarian ambassador that the note meant nothing. "I would also call your attention to a statement by Mr. "Charles War ren, republican presidential tlector of New Jersey, who states that he was told by a member of President Wilson's official family that the prop osition to arbitrate the loss of life on the Lusitania was to be embodied in a note to Ambassador Gerard and was not to be a postscript to the 'strict accountability' note. Social Glass vs. Kidneys "EwryPkhm Strong drinks like beer, whiskey, tea and coffee, irritate the kidneys and habitual use tends to weaken them. Daily backache, with headache, nervousness, dizzy spells and a rheu matic condition should be taken as a warning of kidney trouble.

DENY CORNER ON MARKET Kansas City, Nov. 1. Prospect of a general strike tomorrow in the Okla homa coal, fields was regarded with apprehension here tonight in view of the reported scarcity of fuel in other parts of the country. Much 6f the coal used in the southwest comes from the mines in Oklahoma, several of which already have shut down and more than 98 per cent of which are affected by the strike orde. recently issued because of an unsettled dis" pute between operators and union miners over the biennial wage con tract. The strike order was made ef fective November 1. - Only a limited supply of coat was reported tonight to be available in any of the larger cities of this section. In case of a cold wave and the conse quent drain on the fuel on hand, deal ers said much suffering would result. The same shortage of cars which was felt during the crop movement is handicapping shipment of coal, it was declared. See Soft Coal $10. v Columbus, O., Nov. 1. Coal opera Tors tonight predicted that the retail price of bituminous coal would reach $10 per ton in Ohio in the near future if the present demand and the short age of coal cars in the State service continues. Soft coal was bought at $5 per ton at the mines today, the highest price since 190.1, during the anthracite strike. Jobbers were selling at from $6 to $7.50 per ton as a result. Slack is being sold in the mine-run 'class at $5 per ton. The announcement of the operators' prediction is coincident to the orders of Governor Willis for the Public Utilities commission to make an in vestigation of the coal car shortage in the state and its effect on prices. , The railroad companies are ordered to file a report on the status of their coal-hearing rolling stock before Thursday. New York, Nov. 1. Coincident with the unprecedented increase in the price of domestic coal to $12.50 a ton at New York, retail merchants noti fied the public that only conservation of the supply and limitation of de liveries to one ton to a customer would avert a famine.

A SPOONFUL OF SALTS RELIEVES ACHING KIDNEYS We eat too much meat, which clogs Kidneys, says noted authority. If back hurts or Bladder bothers, stop all meat for a while. - When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means y6u have been eat ing 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 gf sluggish and clog you must relievi them, like you relieve your bowels removing all the body's urinoui' waste, else vou have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is hjad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is clbtldy. full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to "seek relief two or three times during the night. I Either consult a good, reliable phy sician at once or get from your phar macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon f til 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 used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the tirina 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, effervescent lithia-water drjnk. Adv. Guaranteed V Omaha. Neb. , w. T. wills Butt. a ' L.

A GREAT INDUSTRIAL PLANT DISBURSING NEARLY A MILLION DOL LARS IN NEBRASKA ANNUALLY. ONE AMONG MANY INDUSTRIES THAT WOULD BE DESTROYED BY A PROHIBITION LAW. An Argument Against the Amendment From an Entirely New Angle. Mr. Nebraska Voter: - Prohibition, if adopted, would close and destroy the operating value of Nebraska's only distillery, an industry which brings large sums of money into the state, because 80 of its product is shipped to other states. Yet pro hibition would not in thejeast aid in solving the drink problem, because the consumption of distillery products in Nebraska would remain just about the sam, only they would be shipped in from other states. v Of the remaining 20 sold in Nebraska, probably one-half is used, for non-beverage purposes, absolutely necessary in the trades, in the arts, in mcdicin& and for many other uses. The many hospitals, flavoring extract and cologne manufacturers, pharmaceutical houses, drug gist's, etc., now supplied from here, would have to pur-' chase from eastern distillers. , We have for forty-five years done a strictly legiti- -mate business, religiously obeying the law, and during that time have disbursed thirty-five million dollars in Nebraska, nearly all of which has found its way to Ne braska workmen, tradesmen, fanners, etc. Why should we be voted out of business, and what "would anyone gain by it?
