PLEASED WITH TALKS"
TO TRADE COMMISSION
big Business" Men Gratified at Re.
ception Accorded them at
Interviews

Some Indication of the character of
reception the federal trade commission
Is meeting with at the hands of ~busi-
ness is furnished in the fact that men
connected with different industries
ly have come to Washington and have
been in conference with members of the
commission. These have included men
of big business as well as men iden-
titled with smaller industries.
Responding to the announcement
made by Chairman Davies, who heads
the federal trade commission, at the
time the body was organized, that the
commission always would be glad to
confer with business men, a number of
the latter are said to be highly gratif1ed
at the treatment they have received at
have gone away impressed with the be-
lief that the commission is endeavoring
in every way to cooperate with bust-
ness.
Interviews All Informal.
The interviews which have SO far
been held, 1t is understood. have been
entirely informal. and can not be
characterized as having been in any
sense Hearings" such as the inter-
state commerce commission holds for
the benefit Of the railroads. Business
men desiring to confer with the COM
mission have been invited into the con-
ference room of the commission with
only the commissioners present, no
stenographic reports of the conferences
being held, although stenographers
have occa sionally been furnished after
in case business men de-
sired to dictate to them statements TO
be filed with the commission.
These interviews and conferences, II
is believed. have been of benefit to
business men as well as to the COM
mission.
The quarters of the commission are
pretty well torn up by painters and
decorators, and it is expected that
week or more will elapse before the ne
commission gets into the question OF
policies, as to which. SO far, no con-
clusions have been reached: although
there has been discussion of them. At
present administrative details in con-
nection with taking over the old bu-
reau of corporations are engaging the
attention of the commission.

Within Discretion of Carriers.

The tendency among carriers gen.
orally seems to be to do away with
the 1s0-trip Communication ticket or to
put 1t upon the same basis as the six
ty-trip ticket. and the maintenance of

portation is largely within the dis
cretion Of the carrier. In the present

Alleging that the provision of the
hack license act of January 29. 1913,
which places In the hands of the Dis

renewal OF license is null and void as
an interference with property rights

ton, James Fl. De Vaughn has applied
TO the District Supreme Court for
mandamus against William p. Rich

SUGAR CROP CUTDOWN
BY RAVAGES OF WAR
Americans, Big Sugar Eaters. Will
Be Affected the Most
by Shortage.

The effect of the present war in Eu-
rope on the geography of the world s
sugar production is strikingly shown in
a statement just issued by the National
Geographic Society. This statement is
as follows:
"F'ifty-th three out of every hundred
pounds of sugar produced in the world
is grown in the countries now at war
and ther colonies. The total production
of the world is estimated at approx
mately $4,000, 900 tons. This production
is made up of cane sugar and beet
sugar. the total yield of cane sugar
having been 9,545,00 tons, and of beet
sugar, S,438,000 tons in 1913.
"One Of the peculiar facts connected
with the sugar map of the world is
that while Europe produces more than
SO out of every 100 pounds of beet sugar
grown. it yields only 1 pound out of
every 500 of cane sugar.
"Of Europe's total production of beet
sugar. amounting to 7,S0S,000 tons,
5,666, 900 tons grew in belligerent terri
tory in 1913. Nearly all of this product
is now entirely isolated from the out
side world. being grown mainly in Ger
many, Austria Hungary and Russia.
What this means to the world is re-
thirds of the worlds sugar is not con-
sumed in the country of it's origin, this
condition arising from the fact that the
great sugar-using nations are prin-
cipally outside of the belts of sugar
production.

Americans Big Sugar Eaters.

Amy scarcity of sugar growing out
of the war will affect the United States
more seriously than any other country,
for the reason that American people
are per capita the heaviest users of
sugar In the world. With one-sixteenth
of the worlds population, the United
States consumes more than one-fifth of
its sugar. How rapidly this country is
becoming a nation of sugar eaters is
revealed by a reference to the tables of
sugar consumption of the past half cen
tury. Fifty years ago the people of
the United States ate Is pounds of
sugar per capita Five years later, in
1870, they were using 33 pounds per
capita In 1880 the per capita consump-
tion had gone up to 40 pounds. Twenty
five years ago 1t had risen to 81 pounds.
In 1890 1t had climbed still higher, to SO
pounds. By 1910 the mercury in the
sugar consumption thermometer reach
ed 80 Today the per capita consump-
tion Is upward of IS pounds.
1T appears that the cane sugar in
dustry will suffer very little in the
matter Of the total crop yield as a re-
suit of the war. On the other hand
the beet sugar business will suffer very
heavily.

The SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the PEOPLES Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised al at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain--thc
article did not fulfill the promises CT
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medic
inal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation l have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ommend, for in almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many OF
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that I know of has Sc
| large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation the sue
| cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact that it fulfills almost
every wish in overcoming kidney dis
| eases, corrects urinary troubles and
neutralizes the uric acid, which
causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle
of Swamp-Root by parcels p st. Ad-
dress DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton

THE TRI-WEEKLY
CONSTITUTION

It's Campaign For Diversified Farm
ing and Its Special 1915 Offer For
Rural Households. The Largest
Tri-Weel1ly in the World.
Diversified farming is now the uni
versal topic in agricultural communi-
ties in the South. The Atlanta Con-
stitution has been a pioneer in this
movement for the last quarter OF a
century, and is now leading in a
movement which promises so much
for the South in 1915.

a. circulation exceeding $4,000 an
nounces a series of articles explain

this year. These articles are written
by Prof. r. ]. H. DeLoach, an expert
of national reputation, he being the
director of the government expert
ment station in Georgia. Expert adj
vice on this subject from authorities
the country over will be given
through the columns of the Tri-
Weekly Constitution. This is feat
ure of inestimable value to every
farmer.
The Tri-Weekly Constitution is is
sued three times a week-Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday. 1t has be-
come known as a Farmers Daily.
1t carries the Associated Press SER
vice, with detailed cablegrams, giving
every movement of the worlds great

Early in the war a public address OF
Mr.. Asquith, the prime minister was
deIeted before the Associated Press

the remarks of King Albert of Bel

INCOME TAX BLANKS DRAG
OUT THE FAMILY SKELETON
Answers to the Questions Propounded by the Government
Make Man Tell All About Himself

The theory, according to Collector
Blalock. is that husband and wife are
entitled to $4,000 exemption jointly
if living together, and $4,000 each II
they are legally separated.
Careless persons will be embarrass-
ed by the first question on the new
form, which is, Did you render a
return for your income for the pre-
ceding year,"
The second is, 'If so, in what in
ternaI revenue district was it filed?'
Then follow questions which will
reveal family skeletons. They are:
Were you single or married with
wife or husband living with you on
December 81 of the year for which
this return is rendered?
If married give full name OF wife
or husband.
Has wife or husband income from
sources independent from your own?
Have you included your wife's or
husbands income in this return?
In case separate returns are made
by husband and wife the exemption
is prorated, the amount claimed by
each is to be stated separately In
this way the collector is enabled to
check one against the other to see
that only $4,000 has been claimed in
the two returns.
