Secretary Of State Harry Woods

twenty-four hours. Secretary OF State
Harry Woods, of Illinois, was found in
the garage at his home a, a. m to-
day with q bullet wound in the fore-
head. A -3S-caliber automatic revolver
ciutched In the right hand and the
garage door locked on the inside were
taken as evidence of suicide. QuanIf-
Ties OF stocks and bonds in the pockets
OF his coat led to the belief thai flnan-
cfal worries may have caused Woods to
take his life. No other reason has been
advanced. Woods was an unsuccessful
candidate for the Democratic Senatorial
nomination against Roger Sullivan.
The death Is thought to have oc-
CURED about $50 a, m, Sunday. At
that time Woods arose, dressed, and left
the house without telling his family
where he was going. Going away unan-
nounced is said to have been a custom
with Woods and his absence gave lis
family no alarm. When he did not re-
turn, however, neighbors were notified
this morning. and found the body in
the garage. .-
Woods. who was a member of the
Chicago board of trade and who had
large elevator INTERESTS over the State,
had returned Saturday evening from
Chicago. where 1t, is presumed he went
on business.
Woods was ffty-one wears of age, and
Of Canadian birth. He started CONNER

CONDITIONS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH.

While it Is true that a financial and
money stringency prevails throughout
the greater portion of Latin-America
there are indications Of q betterment
OF conditions due to earnest and per-
sistent efforts not only on the part of
the Latin-American governments and
business interests but also on the part
Of the Government and business inter-
ests Of the United States to readjust
commercial relationships and transac-
ttons on a basis which will meet war
conditions.
Great stress has been laid upon the
efforts of commercial organizations of
the United States to acQuaint manu-
facturers, exporters, and importers of
this country with what steps should
be taken in the premises, and much
good has been accomplished in this
way. Special credit, however, should
be given also to diplomatic and con-
sular representatives of the Latin
American countries who have labored
increasingly to take steps and give in
formation which will bring about the
needed readjustment. As a result Of
all these efforts there is a growing feel

Ing both the export and import trade

Will Accomplish Good.
THE growing realization throughout
the United states of the fact that the
volume and permanency Of Pan-Ameri-
can trade must depend upon a fair and
reasonable exchange Of products and
the building up of markets in the UNI
ted States for Latin-American exports,
as we'll as development Of markets in
Latin-America for exports Of the Uni
ted states, has resulted in action which
cannot fail to accomplish much good
There il no doubt that the principal
problem of the hour is that of credits.
The Latin-American countries and
business men who are suffering from
the financial stringency are not them
selves to blame for the situation, for
1t has been caused almost entirely by
influences beyond their control What
they are going through IL, after all, not
much different from what fs the pres
ent experience Of the United States. The
only real difference Is that inasmuoh
as their business Is so much more de-
pendent upon Europe than that OF the

developed manufacturing as much as

times a little more than does this coun-
try.

"WAR TIME" PRICES ON FOOD
Prediction Made by Department of
Agriculture.

Washington, Aug. 2.-"War time"
prices may be expected if Europe is
plunged into a general war, depart
ment of agriculture officials de-
clared.
The demand from abroad may send
prices soaring to such prohibitive
heights that it may be necessary to
declare an embargo on the exporta-
ton of foodstuffs from the United
States.
An embargo would require special
action by the president, with sanction
of congress, either by a prohibition
law or prohibitive export tariff on
food.
1t is believed, however, that the in
adequacy of the United States mer-
chant marine and the fact that for
eign commerce would be legitimate
war prey for the combating nations
would make an embargo unnecessary.

was hurriedly sent to a nearby

emergency. This milk was given

youngest of the children was TAX

dren were less so. After castor

progressively worse. The symp-

called.
For two weeks, under care of
sklllful trained nurses, and with
daily consultations of leading med

lowered about his bedside and out
side his door. They beseeched the
doctors to work harder, to call
other specialists to do something
new.
Seldom have physicians fought
as those men did or watched more
carefully.

That baby was martyr to bad
municipal milk regulation; a mar
tyr TO personal ignorance of the
danger of giving a child milk of
unknown origion. This was not an
uncommon instance. 1t was the
frequent repretition of such cases
that led physicians, nurses, health
officers and visitors of the poor
to band together in the fight for
higher milk standards. Baby well
fare organizations were formed 20

and parents 'who didn't think"
The many such cases led COM
mercial milk dealers to improve
their methods of handling and dis
tributing milk, in order chat they
should not continue to be accom-

Out of all of this has come a rec
ignition by housewives that good
milk is worth more than p 0 or
milk; that more should be p aid
for it and that germ infested, fill
