PLANS NATIONAL
BOARD OF TRADE
PRESIDENT URGES COMBINE OF
COMMERCIAL MEN IN INTER-
EST OF TRADE.
WILL MEET IN APRIL
INVITATIONS HAVE BEEN SENT
TO 1000 LOCAL ORGAN
IZATIONS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Observation-Disclosures Taft has
taken the initiative in movement to
bring the business men of the coun-
try into touch with the government
for advice in the administration of
laws, the enactment of new statutes
and the development of commerce.
Virtually. the President proposes a
National Board of Trade, broadly rep
rcsentative of the commercial and in
Gustrial organizations and of such a
character as the government may
properly recognize by charter from
Congress
As one of the first steps in the cam
paign, Secretary Nagel of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, by di-
rection OF the President, has called a
convention of delegates from CONNER
cial organizations in all parts of the
country to meet in Washington on
April 18th for discussion and to plan
the organization.
to 1000 local Chambers of Commerce,
Boards of Trade and other CONNER
cial bodies.
In a statement President Taft out
lined the purposes of such an organ
ization. 1t would give the government
the opportunity to consult the bust
ness world on all problems of trade
supremacy. It would afford co-opera-
ton in the expansion of commerce at
home ami abroad, and would provide
a means by which government Off
GERS charged with the enforcement of
the laws could become acquainted
with the complexities that surround
their administration in the business
world.
The Presidents statement in part
follows:
Such an organization, properly rep
resented at the seat of government.
could be of incalculable assistance in
advising the executive branch of gov
eminent with respect to the methods
and rules to be adopted in the admin
istration of existing law. 1t could be
of like assistance in giving advice in
regard to proposed legislation and in
counselling representatives of the ex-
ecutive branch when asked to submit
recommendations upon bills intro
duced and pending before committees.
The development of the plan will
be left entirely with the accredited
representatives of such commercial or
CARNATIONS. the essential principles be
ing that the national association shall
be broadly representative of the COM
mercial interests of the whole coun-
try and that its organization shall be
readily responsive to the will of the
majority of the constituent members.

Take the science of living. A week
ago you would have died If you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say it doesn't do any harm at all. One
variety says: Eat meat, lots of 1t. to
build good. rich blood" Another says
meat is poison that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
Talk with your meals. laugh; it
makes the food digest" Others insist
silence is never SO golden as at the
table.
