FILE BATTLES ARE DUE IN APRIL In About One-Third of the Localities the Saloon Interests Seek to Re­ gain Control of Districts-- Rockford Given Up. Springfield.--Some " 300 cities and towns of Illinois will vote on the wet and dry questions next April as the reault of petitions filed both by the sa­ loon and anti-saloon forces. In about one third of the localities the wet fac­ tion is*seeking to regain control of the districts, while in the remainder the drys are trying to drive out the sa­ loons. In the district surrounding Chicago most of the petitions were filed by the wets in an effort to recover ground lost in1 the last test, which, coming soon after women were given the bal­ lot, resulted disastrously for the sa­ loon forces. Among the cities are El­ gin, Sterling DeKalb, Rochelle, Ba- tavia, Plainfleld, Geneva, Piano, York- ville, Hinckley and Sycamore. Apparently the wets have given up hope of regaining Rockford, the larg­ est dry city in the state. No petition was filed there, despite the fact that the city for years has been one of the principal battlegrounds of the wet and dry forces. The wets alBO ignored a large number of smaller towns which were voted dry at the last election. While the drys fkiled to file petitions in Joliet, a wet stronghold, they com­ mitted themselves to campaigns in Aurora and Rock Island. The drys also filed petitions in St. Charles, an­ other wet stronghold. In addition to these larger cities, the anti-saloon forces filed petitions in nearly 200 towns in the western and central parts of the state. The drys are counting to a great ex­ tent upon the increasing number of women who are going to the polls at every election. 8upreme Court Cases. A number of cases of state-wide interest and importance are on the docket for the February term of the Illinois supreme court, which convened Tuesday. One of the most important is that of Franklin vs. Westfall et al, an appeal from Mc- Donough county, and in which the con­ stitutionality of the woman's suffrage law of Illinois is attacked. The case has been on the advisement docket for some time and a decision is expected at this term. Dean Franklin, who at­ tacks the validity of the suffrage act Insofar as it permits women to 'vote for city Judge, was the Progressive party candidate for city Judge of Ma comb at the 1915 election, and the woman's vote defeated him. Some time ago anti-woman suffragists sought to intervene in the case and attack the constitutionality jf the entire suf frage act, but the court denied their petition. Another interesting case is that of the People vs. the Illinois Central Rail­ road company, in which State Auditor Brady is seeking to force the payment of over a million dollars in back taxes, alleged to be due the state because property of the railroad company has been assessed at' too low a figure. This case is also on the advisement docket. The case of Bishop Dunne, Roman Catholic l/ishop of Peoria, vs. the County of Rock Island, will probably be decided at the present term. The case grows out of the efforts of the Catholics of Rock Island to prevent the erection of a county Jail across the street from their church. Decrease In Sickness.

MES8AGE TO VON BERNSTtfRFF MAKES FULL SETTLEMENT OF LUSITANIA CASE NEAR. NO DANGER OF BREAK SEEN Germany Has Refused to Declare Sinking of Liner Illegal, But Makes Concessions Which Give Promise of Adjustment Soon. State Treasury Gets $24,456.44. Attorney General Lucey has turned Into the state treasury $24,456.44, money collected from the estate of the late George C. Simonds of Los ^ngeles, Cal., one of the bonds­ men of former State Auditor Charles P. Swigert. The money was due on one of the claims resulting from the Whittemore decision of the supreme court under the Deneen administra­ tion, in which it was held money had been retained illegally by a number of former treasurers and auditors. A judgment against Simonds was obtained in the Kankakee circuit court under the administration of Attorney General Stead, but before execution could be issued, Simonds disposed of all his property in Illinois and went to California. Following his death there Attorney General Lucey presented the claim to the courts and it was allowed, the money having just arrived. New Incorporations.

The Illinolj state highway depart­ ment is a fair example of what can be accomplished in less than two years by thorough organization and efficient effort. The first highway commission came into existence under a law of 1905. That law was very limited in scope s»nd conferred but few powers upon the commission. But the opportunity to do a great service to the state was there, and the commissioners fully justified the trust reposed in them. In 1913, the roads and bridges law of Illinois was revised, a state high­ way department was created, and state aid was provided for the first time tn the history of the state. First in importance in the organiza­ tion of this department is the state highway commission composed of three members who are appointed by the governor for a six years' term. The appointments are arranged to se­ cure at all times a majority of experi­ enced commissioners in charge of the work. Then follow thi chief and the as­ sistant chief state highway engineers, also appointed by the governor for six years, who are the administrative officers of the department. Next come five bureaus designated as the bureau of bridges in charge of two engineers and assisted by three chiefs of squads and twenty-four draftsmen; a bureau of testing in control of two engineers, one laboratory chemist and one field chemist; a bureau of maintenance con­ sisting of two engineers, an engineer in charge of machinery and a mainten­ ance squad; a bureau of auditing man­ aged by the chie^ clerk of the state highway department and composed of clerks, bookkeepers, property clerks, blue print boys, stenographers and messenger, also of an editor and staff; and a bureau of roads in the hands of two engineers, an office engineer, a chief draftsman, three chiefs of squads and twenty-four draftsmen, stenog­ raphers, etc. The state is divided into seven divisions. Each division is as­ signed to a division engineer who is assisted by resident engineers, county superintendents of highways or dis­ trict road masters, survey parties and draftsmen. With a state possessing more than 16,000 miles of state or main roads and about 80,000 miles of secondary roads, the task of the com­ mission is a most difficult one. Washington, Feb. 7.--All danger of • rupture with Germany over the Lu- Bitania controversy has disappeared. Count von Bernstorff formally com­ municated to Secretary of State Lan­ sing on Friday the reply of fiis gov­ ernment to the oral representations made to him some days ago. While Germany lias refused to de­ clare that the sinking of the Lusitania was illegal and contrary to interna­ tional law in the form desired by this government, it can be stated on au­ thority that concessions have been made which give promise of adjust­ ment as a result of further ex­ changes. Whether these concessions fully comply with the terms of settlement offered by President Wilson will de­ pend--from the American viewpoint-- on very close study and examination of the note. From the German viewpoint the communication is regarded as grant­ ing substantially all that the I'nited States asked in the report recently sent to his government by Count von Bernstorff, on the basis of his last conversation with Secretary Lansing. Should President Wilson not find the concessions wholly satisfactory it seems probable that an adjustment to make them acceptable can be reached in informal conferences between Sec­ retary Lansing and Count von Bern­ storff during the next five days. The concessions made by the Ger­ man government are of such a char­ acter. it is understood, that if they fall short of satisfying President Wil­ son they have so narrowed the margin of difference in the informal negotia­ tions as not to necessitate the aban­ donment of the informal negotiators. The danger of a break in diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States, it is asserted in a very high quarter, have been averted by the new communication, and the state­ ment 1b even made in this very respon­ sible quarter that there can now be no break between the two countries over the Lusitania affair. PHILIPPINE BILL IS PASSED Measure Wins in the Senate b> Vote of 52 to 24--Stone's Amend­ ment Lost. Washington, Feb. 7.--After weeks of discussion tb*j Philippine self-gov­ ernment bill was passed by the sen­ ate on Friday by a vote of 5? to 24. As finally adopted, its essential lea- tures have been substantially modi­ fied. Senator Stone offered an amend ment that would have eliminated the provision giving the president power to extend the period within which independence mubt be granted, and restorin^jjie provision in the original bill guaranteeing the neutrality of the islands. Senator atone made a strong appeal for support for this proposi­ tion, but it was rejected, 60 to 17. WILSON SPEAKS IN ST. LOUIS Stirs Audience of 1S.000 People in Col­ iseum--May Make Another Trip.

If you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue is coated; if your head is dull or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stom­ ach, or you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin drinking phosphated hot water. Drink before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow. els and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do your inside bathing immediately upon aris­ ing in the morning to wash out of the system all the previous day's poison- pus waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles' became loaded with body im­ purities, get from your druggist or storekeeper a quarter pound of lime­ stone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except for a sourish tinge which is not unpleasant. Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and lime­ stone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bath­ ing before breakfast.

THE CHEW FOR o Ever since the discovery of uric acid in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and the bad efTect it had upon the body, scientists and physicians have striven to rid the tissues and the blood of this poison. Because of its over­ abundance in the system it causes backache, pains here and there, rheu­ matism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who dis­ covered a new agent, called "Anuric," which will throw out and completely eradicate this uric acid from the sys­ tem. "Anuric" Is 37 times more po­ tent than lithia, and consequently you need no longer fear muscular or ar­ ticular rheumatism or gout, or many other diseases which are dependent oa an accumulation of uric acid within the body. Send to Dr. Pierce of th« Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute^ BufTalo, N. Y., for a pamphlet on "Anuric," cr Bend 10 cents for a trial package of "Anuric" Tablets. If you feel that tired, worn-out feel­ ing, backache, neuralgia, or if your sleep is disturbed by too frequent urination, go to your best store and ask for Dr. Pierce's "Anuric."
