(Br Auocltted Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. -The Senate amendment to the war revenue bill, levying a tax of 10 per cent upon products of child labor entering Interstate commerce and designed to have the same affect as the child labor act recently declared to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, was adopted today by Senate and House conferees. A. separate vote on the amendment will be taken In the House before final passage of the bill. Besides the child labor provision, the conferees reached complete agreement today on nearly all of the miscellaneous tax disputes and have left for disposition only a- few Important questions Tomorrow they will again take up the war excess profits taxes and hope to complete their work by next week. Several of the conferees believe now the bill will go to the president before February 1. Another Important Senate amendment accepted by the House conferees today was that removing war taxes on first-class postage next July 1, when the pre-war rates of two cents an ounce of letters and one cent for postcards would again be effective.

Wilson to Stop in Oxford for His Honorary Degree (By Associated Press) . PARIS, Jan. 16. President Wilson may visit England on his way back from France, but It will not be to confer with statesmen, there. He has hoped to be able to sail from a British port, probably Queenstown, and have , an opportunity to Inspect the base of the American flotilla which did such remarkable work in the antisubmarine warfare. Mr. Wilson, it is said, might decide, If he visits England, to stop for a few hours at Oxford to receive an honorary degree which that university wishes to confer on him. He would not necessarily visit London on his Journey. If, when the president starts homeward, he should feel it necessary for him to return later to Europe, he might postpone his visit to Oxford but if he feels there is any doubt about his coming back to the peace congress, he might go to Oxford to receive his degree.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY Take tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothersDrink lots of water. We are a nation of meat eaters and

our blood la filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. Tho kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; tho eliminative tissues clog and thus the wasta is retained in

the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains In the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder Is Irritable, obliging you to seek relief

during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism In bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a;

glass of water before breakfast each

morning and In a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with llthla, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it Is no longer a source of Irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delighoful effervescent llthla-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by drinking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active Adr.

Nurse Describes Holiday Pleasure Provided For Men in Camps

The Christmas celebration at Camp Hancock, Ga., is described by Miss Bessie -Moore in a recent letter. Miss Moore is a graduate nurse of Reid Memorial hospital and has been stationed for some time at Camp Hancock. Her letter assures the "outside" world that neither Uncle Sam or his helpmates, the American nurse3 and corps men, allowed the Yanks to suffer for cheer on Christmas day where there was any possible way to overcome existing conditions. Miss Moore explained thnt Christmas at Camp Hancock began on December 23. "For as I have told you this is the country of the holly and mistletoe, and on Monday before Christmas, one of the most beautiful days I have ever seen, all of us nurses and corps men who were off duty went bunting holly. Some went Sunday afternoon and I was in that crowd. The day was wonderful, very much Jike Indiana Septembers. Pen C can not describe our wanderings.' The woods are, mostly of pine and holly trees, and as you know the mistletoe is parasitic on the oak, so it was not hard to find as the oaks are now bare. Palms and ferns of some strange variety grow wild here, and of course there are many trees and bashes strange to me. To gather the holly the men had to climb a good many of the trees because the nicest foliage is at the top. This is no easy matter either for the branches are close together and if you remember there are from eight to ten thorns on each leaf. The boys were. rather scratched up but it was such fun that no one complained. We went home loaded down with beautiful branches full of red berries. "Decorated the wards, the Home, and our rooms. Tuesday night the Red Cross sent over holly wreaths and crepe paper decorations, and the

wards vied with each other to see which could be the nicest "I was In charge of . the contagious ward and we were forbidden any dec-

"Ciristmaa day after an afternoon I In isru9tA I went to the lighting of

Christmas trees In the officer

vrard where I had spent six weeks or sight duty. There were just a group of convalescent officers and the nurses who were their friends there, and an hour we had a gay time removing gifts from, the Christmas tree. There were a few very nice gifts but most of them were Just Jokes. Each present had an original verse with, It, Indiana- was well represented with Lieutenant Money from Evansvllle, Lieutenant Lyons from Madison and myself. This little entertainment lasted until 8 o'clock and from -there we went to the room of a friend of mine in the nurses quarters just a social gathering of nurses. In the midst of our lunch we were summoned by the head nurse to the Red Cross rooms to see the lighting of the nurses Christmas tree at 10 o'clock. After that there was a dance until midnight, when we were all Invited to the K. of C. hall to Midnight: mass. I Had to work on Christmas day so retired Instead, and was quite glad I did for the nurses who went did not get back until 3 a. m., and up at 6 for work. , "The patients' Christmas began at 6:30 Christmas morning when the stocking provided by the Red Cross were given cut When I went over to duty at 7 a. m. I thought I was at a Jay county fair for almost every patient had received a horn, a Bauare bal

loon or a whistle of some kind, and every fellow who was able to blow was trying the thing out "As It happened I was on duty at dinner time In the rooms where the convalescent patients were. We took the doors off the hinges and made tables for eight. Everything was ready wtth silver and decorations, when the hour arrived. The patients bad helped me with the table and one of the corps men and two patients helped serve. The real dinper was at 1 o'clock and consisted of fruit cocktail, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, asparagus tips, olives, celery, perfection salad, cranberry sauce, chocolate Ice cream, cake and coffee. When the

patients were all served I relieved theJ

orderlies who watch over the bed pa

tients so the corps men all ate dinner together. "One of the greatest Christmas joys was to brighten the day ' for these brave and loyal men who, although they never left this country, were doing their bit and have sacrificed and are still sacrificing that the "Land of the Free" may still be and that Old Glory may war now and forever more. ...... ' . "Christmas afternoon was very qui

et except for a halt hour or so that a vaudeville company spent In all but the quarantined wards. Dinner was served the nurses at 6:15 p. m. It was wonderful, about the same menu as the patients had at noon. Each one had a card from "Mother Secpmith" to her "daughters." She is the Red Cross Mother of the Camp. A beautiful lady of 08 or 60 years with snow white hair, and an Immense amount of interest in the boys and nurses.

. "In the evening this same vaudeville company which had performed In the wards that afternoon entertained as and we had another grand evening."
