The Allies Have Come to
This Conclusion in
the Matter
WASHINGTON IS
SO INFORMED
Date of Announcement Is
Not Yet Decided
Upon

/. Washington, d. c., Aug. 20.-The al
lied governments have agreed IN princi
pie that cotton is contraband OF war
The exact date when this announcement
shall be made is still under considera'
ton, as we'll as other details connected
with the proclamations. This statement
was authorized yesterday at the British
embassy.
As soon as the official announcement
is made it will be disclosed also that
the allied governments have prepared to
stand behind the market to prevent ruin
Gus depression of prices and minimize
hardships to planters
The American government several days
ago was informed unoffieially, but au-
thoritatively, of the intention OF the
allied governments to ake-cotton con-
traband, and was informed that they will
claim legal right fof thffr action.
1t was explained here yesterday that
the allies refrained from making cotton
eontraband at the outset of the war be.
cause Of conditions in the United States,
where large crop had been planted,
and contraband order then would, in
their opinion, have been far more seri-
Gus.
Now, the allies contend, the cotton
states have been prepared for change
In policy by reductions OF acreage. Some
of the cotton interests, allied quarters
acknowledge, may be affected by the
change, and for that reason it has been
decided to stand behind the market to
minimize embarrassment and to avoid a
permanent decrease in American cotton
paintings, which would be reflected in
the industries Of the allied countries.
The principal reason for declaring cot
ton contraband is that it is one of the
principal sources of smokeless powder.
How the allies propose to support the
cotton market is not explained here.
The placing of cotton on the contra
band list win not materially alter the
existing situation in respect 10 the eX-
portation from the United States of the |

allies that cotton will hereafter be con-

FIRST DOSE ENDS INDIGESTION HEARTBURN, OR GAS ON
 STOMACH.

The question as to how long you indigestion, dyspepsia or out-of -order stomach Is merely a matter of how soon you begin taking Tonoline Tabs.
 People with weak stomachs should take Tonoline Tablets occasionally, and there will be no more indiges- tion, no feeling like lump of lead in the stomach, no heartburn, sour ris- ings, gas on stomach, or belching of undig food, headaches, dizziness or sick stomach; and besides, what you eat will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors. All these symptoms resulting from sour, out-of-order stomach and dyspepsia, are generally relieved five minutes after taking Tonolinc Tablets.
 Go to your druggist and get a s1 box of Tonoline Tablets and you will always go to the ta ble with a hearty appetite, and what you eat will taste good, because your stomach and intestines will be clean and fresh and you will know there are not going 10 be any more bad nights and miserable days for you. Tonoline Tabs freshen you and make you feel like life is worth living.
 Tonoline Tablets cost s1.00 for 50 days treatment. At druggists pr mailed by American Proprietary Co.,, Boston, Mass.
