CENSORSHIP PLAN SOON.
Wilson Seeking Impartial Method fol-
Dealing with Both Cable and Wireless.

Washington. Aug. lS.-President Will
son expects within the next "a hours to
find an impartial plan for dealing with
the question OF censoring wireless and
cable messages out of the United States
to the nations involved in the European
war. He is consulting with department
of Justice officials and with international
law experts on the subject.
The president told callers yesterday
that the chief difficulty is that cables
can deliver messages only on this side
or the other side of the ocean, while the
chief sphere of the wireless is in mid
Atlantic In a general way, the president
followed the line OF argument presented
by France, England and Russia, in pro-
testing against any cable censorship.
Mr. Wilson declared that he was seek
ing very earnestly to find a fair solution
of the difficulty. Replying to sugges-
tion that it would be easy for Great
Britain to transmit messages from the
United States TO Canada and then send
them across the Atlantic, the president
said that the practical difficulties of CEN
sorship to Canada were almost insur-
mountable.

Extensive Artificial Prices
Shown by Investi-
cations
NEW YORK SEES RE-
LIEF IN COOPERATION
Meat Drops a Cent a Pound
in Chicago and Receipts
Are Increased

Washington, Aug. lS.-Reports to the
department OF justice yesterday tell oil
the creation of artificial food prices all
along the line. A district attorney IN
Texas reported that graduated sugar
had risen from $500 to $3.50 per hum
dred weight since a week ago; Swiss
cheese from 25 cents to 3s cents; -four
from s4.75 to $50; beef ribs from Is to
2l cents per pound sirloin % to 81
cents: pork lons Is to % cents, and
smoked ham from 20 to % cents. The
district attorney suggested that small
consumers are charged even higher
prices than hotels and restaurants. The
figures quoted in letter to the attor-
ney general from the manager OF one OF
the largest stock commission companies
in the west showed that, while hogs de-
clined in Chicago one dollar per hum
dred pounds and cattle declined So to 80
cents per hundred pounds, dressed
products to the consumer advanced sew
eral cents per pound. "fhe packers
claimed that reductions were made on
account of financial conditions and
money stringency, he wrote, but l do
not know what excuse they gave for adj
vancing the dressed article. There is
very little beef or pork exported.

BACKS PRIMARY LAW.
Observe 1t in Letter and Spirit, Urges
Whitman.

Saratoga, n. ", Aug. ls.-District At
torney Charles S. Whitman of New York
last of the three Republican candidates
for governor to reach Saratoga, put in
an appearance yesterday afternoon
Whitman's first act was to announce his
objection to plans put under way during
the last day or two by some of the dele
gates to have the Republican state con-
vention indorse a candidate for gov
ernor.
while such recommendation would
not be binding" said Mr.. Whitman, sit
would be contrary to the spirit of the
primary law. II seems to me we should
observe both the letter and spirit OF
the law
Harvey d. Human, one of Mr.. Whit
mans rivals for the nomination, was i'll
yesterday. His physician told him he
must remain in bed all day, promising
that if he did so he probably would be
about to-day.
The committee of 80 which is drafting
the platform for the candidates for dele
gates large TO the constitutional con-
vention was in session all day. Other
wise there was little in the way of
political activity. Most of the 6l0 dele
gates had reached Saratoga in readiness
for the convention to-day.

SHARP INQUIRY IN NEW YORK.
Forces Well Organized Committee to
Discover Reasons for High Prices.

New York. Aug ls.-Plans to stop
speculation, which is said to have much
to do with the increasing price OF food,
are to be perfected at meeting OF the
executive board of the mayors COM
mittee of 1873 appointed last week to aid
federal and county officials in their in
vestigations of the causes of the up
ward trend of the cost of living. Joseph
Hartigan, city commissioner of weights
and measures. who is working with the
committee, will present to the board a
scheme in operating among grocery and
drug retailers by which they form asso-
Citations and purchase in large quantities
for the member stores, thereby obtain
ing marked reductions from the usual
middleman's prices Commissioner Har-
tipan believes that uniformely lower
prices would result if there were more
of these associations or cooperative
stock buying companies.
Commissioner Hartigan discovered, he
said. in a statement, that the wife Of a
poor man, who bought her table supplies
at markets and from push cart pedlers,
was able to purchase at prices much
below those charged in better sections.
Fruit that sold for FIVE and ten cents
apiece in the stores could be bought at
the rate of six and eight for ten cents
from the push cart. The high price of
meat, the commissioner found, had re-
suited in increased demand for vege-
tables.
In the Long Island City section of
Brooklyn. disorders occurred yesterday
at meatmarkets and grocery stores
where credit was refused to persons
thrown out of work on account of the
war closing the industrial plants in
which they were employed.
The United Hebrew Trades is arrang-
ing for meeting to protest against the
high cost of food. and the secretary of
the central federated union announced
that committee of the union would
meet with Samuel Gompers, president
of the American federation of labor,
here yesterday regarding the increased
prices of certain foodstuffs.

colt and the twenty-one county prose-
cutors of the state to investigate every
combination that may exist in New
Jersey to boost the pric or foodstuffs.
The governor declares that if there is
any combination among spectators and
dealers to raise food prices, such comb-
nation NAV be prosecuted under the
Seven Sisters antitrust laws of the state.
II a combination is found grand jury
action is called for by the governor.

SHAMROCK Nv IN,
TO LAY UP YEAR
Sir Thomas Lipton's Cup Challenger Ar
rives After War Warn
ing at Sea.

New York, Aug, ls.--Sir Thomas LIP
tons cup challenger, the Shamrock w.
was warped alongside the dock OF
South Brooklyn shpyard yesterday
morning and workmen began to remove
the ketch.rig under which the big sloop
had sailed most of the way on her long
voyage from England to this country.
Capt. Turner, sailing master OF the
Shamrock, said the voyage from Ber-
muda to this port had been without incl
dent and that he had not sighted any
hostile war vessels on the way. He said
the Shamrock would not be rerigged,
but would be hauled out, boxed up and
placed in winter quarters at once.
Sailing master and crew We're greatly
disappointed because the cup yacht
races would not be sailed this year.
Ii is understood that Sir Thomas
Yacht Erin, which conveyed the Sham.
rock, sent a wireless message yesterday
to the German-owned wireless station
at Sayville, L. l., thanking the station
for its unwilling assistance in enabling
the Shamrock to dodge German war
craft. BY picking up messages intend
ed for German cruisers, the Erin was
warned of their proximity.

WHEN and HOW THE
BODY POISONS ITSELF

The underlying cause OF much head
ache, particularly migraine, or sick head
ache, bilious attacks, vertigo, or dizziness,
is intestinal auto-intoxication. Thispro-
cess, recognized only in recent years, Is
the absorption into the blood OF ,poisonis
produced in the intestines from the resi-
due OF food.
The two most prominent factors in
causing this condition are constipation
and excessive meat eating. 1t can there
fore be largely avoided by care in the
diet and the use of laxative which will
clear away the fermenting residue OF
food which is generating the poisons.
Pinklets, the new laxative, are admir-
ably suited to protect the body against
the dangers of auto-intcxication fcr they
gently assist nature and do not gyipe
or purge. Harsh purgatives leave the
system in a worse condition than they
find it but Pinklets give just she stimula-
ton to the organs OF excretion that is
needed to produce natural action and II
they are used regularly for time they
will really correct constipation.
Your druggist cells Piaklets or they will
be sent, postpaid, on recipe of price, 20
cents per bottle, by the DR., Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, n. Y. Send
