Additional plans for bringing the gov
ernment armor plant to Washington
are being considered today by MEM
bers of the committee named by the
Chamber Of Commerce to take up this
campaign. The committee is to meet
tomorrow in the rooms of the organiza-
tion.
Endorsements continue to come In for
Washington. S. Herbert Giesy OF this
city has sent letter to Secretary Dan
iels of the Navy Department, urging
the establishment Of the plant here.
He points out many advantages which
Washington possesses. His letter In
part follows:
The Chesapeake and Ohio canal is
here to bring lime from Martinsburg
and coal from Cumberland at a water
freight rate and deliver it in the origi-
nal package-the canal boat-at any
site on the Potomac selected for the
manufacture Of armor plate.
The Monterey folio Of the United
States geological survey shows that the
iron ores about Covington. Va, are OF
commercial Importance, and the best
manganese deposits in the United States
are in Virginia. as shown by mineral
resources of the United States geolog-
ical survey.

are for sale at $45 an acre. 5000 acres
of coal, the report on which, made by
Prof. John l.. Johnson of the West
Virginia University. says in part:
las steam, coking and domestic
coal it cannot be excelled. 1t gives in
tense heat and is the nearest absolutely
smokeless of any soft coal l have ever
seen burn, and has staying qualities al
most equal to anthracite.
This property is Immediately south
of Cumberland, on the Western Mary
land railroad so that it is apparent
that coke with a fixed carbon of S0.27
could be brought by canal boat to an
armor plate plant on the Potomac. Such
an economy could hardly be claimed for
any other location"

TRADE COMMISSION

ATLANTA, Ga, April What is
the Federal Trade Commission doing
What does it propose to do? These
and many other questions, some
some unfriendly, have been
asked in newspapers and magazines
repeatedly during recent months, and
most of them have been answered, at
least to the satisfaction of the cot
ton manufacturers of the south and
New England by William ]. Harris,
the former Georgia senator who was
appointed to the Federal Trade Com
mission by President Wilson while
Mr.. Harris was director of the United
States census.
In his address to the American Cot
ton Manufacturers Association, in
annual convention here. Mr.. Harris
told the textile men that Il e commits
sion is not an inquisitorial body
searching the field of business for
evil doors, like detectives on the hunt,
but a body that was created for the
purpose of and is devoting all of its
energies towards constructive CO.
operation with the great business in
terests of the country.
Mr.. Harris declared further that
the government and business are not
antagonistic or hostile towards each
other, but on the contrary should
work together. The majority of the
business men of the United States, he
said, are anxious to comply with the
trade laws in the conduct of their
business, and the number that viol-
ates the law is negligible.
MIR. Harris told the textile men that
the Investigation of the high price of
gasoline now being conducted by the
federal trade commission under his
supervision will shortly be finished,
and an official report made.

NEW HELMET A SUCCESS

PARIS, April 7.-Surgeons consider
the success of the new helmet of the
Fdench army so effective that the pos
sibility of return to the old days
when the chest and abdomen were also
protected by armor is being seriously
discussed. Doctor Roussy has jus:
stated before the medical academy
that the number of men sent to the
hospitals with slight escalp wounds
doubled between the month of August,
when the helmet was first put into use
and the month of January, when the
army was still only partially equipped
with it. This enormous increase is sup
posed to indicate that the percentage
Of dead from bullets and shell frag-
ments in the head was diminished in
corresponding proportion.

b0G AND snake
LIE DOWN TOGETHER

ATLANTA, Ca, April 1.-THE fam
Gus motion picture of snake crawl
ing around birds nest without both
ering the tiny baby birds, which are
commonly supposed to be the choicest
of all food for snakes, is equalled by
an Atlanta butcher who raises white
pit bull dogs. His registered through
bred female has a liter of puppies two
weeks old that sleep with large king
snake every night, and the mother
dog cuddles up the king snake with ap-
parently as much affection as she be-
stoves on her own offspring.
The butcher keeps the king snake in
his marqet to catch the rats, finding it
far better than cats or rat terriers or
rat traps, and the snake and the bul:
dog are the best of friends. When the
puppies arrived and the mother dog
made a bed for them in the basement
of the market, the king snake found it
a most enjoyable place to sleep. The
dogs do not object to the snake.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In It before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
auto intoxication-Which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, call
ed headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nausate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide,
aspirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood Of
these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with teas
poonful of limestone phosphate in it,
drank before breakfast for awhile, will
not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you OF headache
but will cleanse, purify and freshen the
entire alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is in
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for a sourisn
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, IL
tongue is coated or you wake up yith
bal taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
plated hot water cure to rid your sys-
tenn of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know miserable moment.
