COOLIDGE PLAN FOR BIG NAVY HIT ASJFOLLY’ Business Plot to Aid in Acquiring New Markets, Says Congressman. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The attack of Senator Borah (Rep.), Idaho, on President Coolidge’s $800,000,000 naval program as “madness” was taken up on the other side of the Capitol today by Representative Huddleston (Dem.), Alabama, who characterized it as “the height of criminal folly,” The demand for seventy-one ships of war, Huddleston declared, is a part of the present foreign policy of “imperialism,” dictated by American business which wants a strong navy to aid in acquiring new markets all over the world. “If it be a fact that we’re embarking upon a policy of imperialism in cooperaiton with the nations of the old world, then we’ll need all these ships and a million men for our army,” he said. Blames Trade Ambitions "Our business men have aspirations to extend their trade all over the world. They want these ships to back them up and collect their money. “In order to get what they want they are willing to go to war. “The desire of shipbuilding interests to get business also is involved, but is a small part. It all hinges about our foreign policy. Our foreign policy and our naval policy dovetail into each other. Members of the House Naval Affairs Committee are making a studied effort* to get high naval officers to admit that the requests for the large program grows from the failure of the Geneva disarmament conference and that President Coolidge’s failure to fix a time limit for completion of the program means it merely Is a ’ paper navy,” to be used as a club for further disarmament. Insist on Time Limit Those who oppose the large program, but favor a moderate building program, say the Geneva failure should have nothing to do with the question and discredit effectiveness of a gesture through a “paper navy.” Big navy champions point to the refusal of other nations to limit their building at the Geneva conference as showing it is time for the United States to build and emphatically insist upon a time limit, so that real ships may be laid down soon.

DRINK WATER IF KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Pains or Bladder Is Irritated. Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is quoted, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer trritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad salts is inexpensive; cannot injure and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink.—Advertisement. 1

HOOVER BOOM GETS ORGANIZED IN NEW YORK Political Leaders in City and State Backing Movement. I>!J United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—The first definite move to line up New York in behalf of Herbert Hoover for President began today. Three New York political leaders, two of them influential in the Metropolitan area and the other in upstate districts, announced that aftex* a conference in Washington they had been chosen to start a pre-convention campaign in this State. Richard W. Laurence, former Bronx County chairman, will muster candidates for Hoover in Manhattan and the Bronx; Mqier Steitxbrink will have charge of tA campaign in Brooklyn and Representative William H. Hill of Binghampton, will canvass the upstate territory. Not Insurgents In beginning their campaign for delegates the leaders said they did not intend to start any insurgent movement within the Republican State organization, which is seeking to send an uninstructed delegation to the Kansas City convention. Lawrence made a formal call on State Chairmah George K. Morris to assure him and Charles D. Hilles, vice chairman of the Republican national committee, that the Hoover boom was not in any way directed against the regular organization. Norris said ne was convinced of their sincerity in that respect. “The supporters of Hoover have a perfect right to work for their candidate, as have the friends of Senator Curtis, Vice President Dawes or any other potential candidate,” he said. For the present, Lawrence said, there is no intention of opening a Hoover headquarters here. The pre-convention campaign managei’s, he said, were set merely to give diI rection and order to Hoover sentij rnent. Will Carry Stale All of the men issued statements' reflecting their belief that the secretary of commerce', in view of the recent withdi'awal of President Coloidge and Charles E. Hughes, was the outstanding candidate. Hoover undoubtedly can carry New York against any Democratic candidate, even Governor Smith, Steinbrink said.
