Lincoln, Mrch 28. (Special.)
kYIlow paint for ornamental purposes
4i?ced upon buildings received the
condemnation of the lower branch of
Tie legislature today when Behrens of
(fuming county introduced a resolu
tion, which passed unanimously, con
demning all person who take it upon
fliemselves to cover the buildings of
neople whom they consider disloyal.
Representative Jerry Howard in
jxoduced one of his justly celebrated
solutions calling for shorter hours
Ud longer wages for female laboring
People. The resolution went over two
days , under the rules over protest
of the Omaha man.
.For the first time this session the
house went into committee of the
whole to consider bills, Speaker Jack
ison calling to the chair Representa
tive Fries of Howard county, the dean
i the house. This is Mr. Fries'
seventh legislative session and his
pjpularity was shown when members
applauded loudly as he took the
chair.
Ik , Repeal Mockett Law. .-
"H. R. 4, for the repeal of the Mock
ett law went through without debate
and was recommended for passage
without a dissenting voice. ' Thi bill
.eeks to repeal the law which 'per
mits the teaching of foreign languages
in the schools of the state and in case
where a certain per cent of the
' patrons of the school demand it makes
it compulsory. ..
The fire works came unexpectedly
ffW a source not looked for when
H. R. 6, the 4ill for the recognition
of the home guards came up for con
sideration. The original bill simply
called for legislation of the organiza
tion, which now comprises about 200
companies. An amendment was at
tached which provided that the county
board of any county, might if they
deemed it advisable, make a levy to
raise sufficient funds to equip and uni
form the companies.
Hoffmeister Oppose.
: Representative Hoffmeister of
'.Chase, did no think it was necessary
.to uniform a lot of fellows and pay
: for a bunch of gold braid so they
. aould spread themselves over the
scenery and look pretty. He thought
it unnecessary. He said that every
body was loyal anyhow as a general
tjiing and there was no need of mak
ingv the taxpayers gd down in their
jean to pay for all the gold braid
, that would be wanted,""': ""I
Tracewell of Cherry sstfd that the
. tiine had erne to cut out all the stuff
about what things would cost. The
ipeople .up in his community were for
, the home guards. They were needed
because no one knew what might htp
pen in the future. He defied the Chase
county member to show that every
.body was loyal, and closed by saying,
"the member who said that the jpeor
'.tile of the state were all loyal was
saying what he knew to be false"
Tracewell's speech brought out a
great deal of applause.
"Buy Own Uniforms."
T. J. McAllister of Dakota county
said he had more than 200 relatives
in the service, some of them in the
trenches and others "bleaching on the
bloody fields of France." He was
not in favor of buying uniforms for
the home guards. "If any of those
fellows wanted to join the home
guards, they could do so, but . they
ought to buy their own uniforms and
guns," he said. v-. -
Auterk of Boone said. he. did not
come down to the legislature to ex
plode any. gas,: but he simply wanted
to say that if it was left to the men
in overalls they would rather shoulder
their shot guns loaded with buckshot
and clean out the Dutch. . .
Representative Grenwalt of Cus
ter called upon the , members to
recognize the home guards. "They
are needed," he said, "to protect. the
property of our citizens and might
have to go up against the greatest
military power the world has ever
known." He believed we should pro
tect ourselves and men who or
ganized for military duty should be
given recognition.
Dalby of Gage, Thomas of Dawes,
Dafoe, Murtey and a number of others
spoke for the bill and Peterson of
Lancaster appeared to open the eyes
of the members when he said that the
object of the bill was to provide a
means now, but that the amendment
would make it impossible to secure
funds until along sometime in 1920,
for the reason that the action would
have to go through all the avenues
necessary and provided by the statutes
which would compel the commission
ers to wait until -the money came
in after a levy had been made and the
taxes collected.
This aoneared to strike the mem
bers as an important consideration, and
r t h i, ..i ' - - : . -. t. :
lronin OI flOll, laKing a 54111111 ai m.i
watch, announced that it was lunch
time and, the house took a recess un
til afternoon.
At the afternoon session the house
was addressed by Major John G.
Maher of the quartermasters depart
ment at Omaha and later by R. L.
Metcalfe of the State Council of De
fense. Two bills were passed, H. R. 4, the
so-called Mockett bill, which went
through unanimously with 12 absent,
and H. R. 8, an appropriation bill
for the payment of salaries of the
state bacterologist and insurance ex
aminers, who were left out of the
appropriation bill passed by the last
session. The call was for $9,000.
Much to the disgust of the, members
of the house the senate adjourned
this afternoon until 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon. ,

SALARY MQ
FOR MEMBERS
OF LEGISLATURE
i
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., March 28. (Spe
cial.) After state officers had camou
flaged the people of the state with the
idea that the present session of the
legislature would be a cheap affair
from the standpoint of cost to the tax
payers, members Af the house this
afternoon spilled the beans by intro
ducing bills for the payment of mem
bers for five days time, their railroad
fare and expenses of the senate.
H. R. 12 By the finance commit
tee, calls for an appropriation of $3,
000 to pay the running expenses of the
senate.
H. R. 13 By the same committee
calls for $3,11020 to pay the mileage
of the members coming to Lincoln.
H. R. 14 By the same committee
appropriates $6,400 for the payment
of salaries of the members.
The latter bill was drawn o nan es
timate that the session would be of
five days' duration. However it is
still subject to a "happy thought"
from some member who may make a
motion to amend the bill to cover five
more days or five weeks for that
matter, so that the emmebers can be
assured that they will not have to
walk home when the gavel drops at
the close.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign, you
t have been eating too' -much

SPELLS
m in w vv 'sw
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 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 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, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the 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,
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,
effervescent lithia-water drink i
