CAMPAIGN IS ALL OVER.

 Hands at Gridir0n Dinner.

Washington, Dec. i0--As a clos ing chapter of the bitter presiden- tial campaign just ended, Chairman Vance Mccormack of the Democrat ic campaign committee and Chair man Wilcox of the Republican campaign committee shook hands at the Gridiron dinner here.
 The action marked a climax to one of the most spectacular traves- ties ever staged by the newspaper men at their annual December frol ic. It was witnessed by President Wilson, ambassadors, ministers from foreign countries, justices of the supreme court, senators, repre- sentatives, iinanciers, and men pro- minent in all walks of life.
 For three hours the large ball. room of the New Willard Hotel had echoed and re-echoed with laugh ter and song as the gridiron mem bers ruthlessly hung their guests over the verbal fire of wit and hu- nor.
 The late campaign furnished the material for the various skits, and the same theme ran into rollicking songs and burlesques by large and stupendous aggregation "of world renowned artists" in airy periflage.
 President Wilson spoke to the din- CTS, but as is the custom, his ad- dress was not for publication. Oth- CT speakers were the Japanese ambassador and Malcyn Arbuckle.

 STATES AND CITIES
iIr. Harvey W. Wiley Has Plan to Lay Before Congress to Overcome the Wrongs of Storage Houses
 and Price Boosters.

Washington, Dec 12.--Dc. Harvey w. Wiley, the man who purified the American table" has come out with a plan to save it. from the clutches of the food speculators. He wants municipal and state control of all food supplies
 The people must take this thing into their own hands, Dr. Wiley de- elared to the United Press. Federal control has failed so far Co answer the purpose.
 Total disregard by food dealers of the existing cold storage and oth- er federal food laws and the crimi- nal laXity i'll administering these laws, indicates the people must look to other measure for protec- tion.'
 Decrying the widespread misre- presentation of cold storage for fresh eggs in open market, Mir. Wiley exclaimed:
 4Why 1 myself could run this thing down Where are the federal food inspectors? And where are the men higher up who are SUD- posed to administer these laws for jhe peoples protection2n
 Dr. Wley's plan, which he would submit to congress except that they know l can tell them too much, 7 contemplates the taking over by municipal authorities of all food supplies and the dispensing of them to the consumer at reasonable prices
 Each community he explained, would provide itself with sort of clearing house for it's daily food. The price manipulation would not have a look-in And, it's coming to just this thing
 Dr. Wiley also took a fling at the American cook, declaring her the most wasteful domestic on the face of the earth" He urged stricter economy in the kitchen of the cost of living is to be reduced.

If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help put out the fire? It is the same way with cough. A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell You should no more try to suppress il than to stop fire bell when it Is ringing, but should cure the dis ease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by talk ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Many have used it with the most beneficial results.

Only Effect Political.

London, Dee 7.-"The fall of Bucharest is without military sig nilicance. but I have no desire to under-rate the fact that it's sur render has considerable moral and political effect" said General r. B. Maurice, chief of military opera tions at the British war office, on discussing with the Associated Press Thursday the latest military op- erations of the entente allies
 The Rumanian army is still in- tact, as it never was in danger of great loss until it made its stand on the Argechu, where it was defeated. It must have lost considerable num- bers of men when the enemy broke thru.
 Tt is dangerous to prophecy where the Rumanians will make their stand, but it is reasonable to presume they will take position on the narrow neck of Rumania, which still gives possession of the larger part of the country and pro- vides strong positions for the Hanks. Some reasons for the Rumanian difficulties may be summarized as follows:
 Faulty organization of equip ment and railroads. and lack of heavy guns"
