HIT COST OF FOOD
Four Bills Introduced Today by
Representative Fitzgerald.
One Resolution to Put Embargo
on FOOdstuffs.

WASHINGTON, Dec -Four bills de-
signed to touch the high cost OF FOOD
were introduced today by Representa-
tive Fitzgerald of New York. Two
propose food embargo. One would
regulate the cold storage of foods and
another would regulate the admission
of farm products and manufactured
foodstuffs to the parcel post and re-
duce the rates on food
THE enactment of either of the
bills said Representative Fitzgerald,
will bring immediate relief to the
country. The people want action; they
are heartily tried of talk and investi-
cations"
mass of petitions was filed in IA
vor of the legislation. One embargo
resolution would prohibit expectation
of any farm product or manufactured
foodstuffs for one year. The other
would empower the president to sus-
pend expectations whenever prices be-
came extortionate and public interests
requires.
The bills would provide for ship
ment of food to Americans abroad or
to peoples made destitute by the war,
pestilence or other extraordinary
events.
Interstate transportation of cold
storage foods, unless the date of stor-
age Is distinctly marked, would be
prohibited, together with an arbitrary
prohibition of interstate transportation
of any product in cold storage more
than ten months except butter, which
might be held longer. A bill for free
transportation of wheat for seed was
introduced by Representative Steiner
son of Minnesota.
1t is intended to supply seed fer the
Red River valley which has been
drawing on Canada. Russia, Hungary
and Rumanfa. Secretary Redfield to-
day sent a report on food prices to
the White House which is understood
to show wide differences between the
prices paid to producers and those paid
by consumers. For the time being the
report is considered confidential and
will be held with many othersa being
made for the president

FEW ARE GOING SOUTH
Continued Warm Weather Is Cutting
Down Traffic of Railroads.

Railroad men are between two fires
on the weather proposition. They
don't know whether they want the
pleasant weather to continue or
whether they don't. They stand to
lose and win both ways.
sudden cold spell would empha-
size the car shortage when the coal
begins to get shy. Dealers have al
ready blamed them for the lack of
transportation facilities for coal
shortage, and made dire and gloomy
prophecies as to what would happen
If a real cold spell come along.
On the other hand, as long as it is
like this in Kansas, why go to Flor
ida or California? It's an unanswer-
able question for a great many Kan
sas people, who are content to remain
at home as long as the October sun
shine continues to slop over into De-
cember.
Traffic to southern points is slower
than usual at this time of year, and
the passenger men blame the fact on
the warm weather which persists
here.
Traffic to the south usually picks
up right away in the fall, when a real
cold spell comes on" said one of them
today.

TAKE IN TOY DISPLAYS
Parkdale Kindergarten Down to See
Santa Claus on Kansas Avenue.

Hitched to rope, twenty odd
youngsters from the Parkdale kinder
garten inspected the toy-filled win
dows on Kansas avenue this morning,
chaperoned by five young women who
held both ends of the rope. The tots,
ranging from to years of age,
marched two abreast, each one
clutching the life line with one hand.
while one of the teachers, at the head
of the procession, led the way and
directed the line of march.
Another teacher held the rear end
of the rope, while three more patrolled
the entire "chain-gang" and watched
out for the stragglers. The kinder
garten wound about thru the traffic
in perfect safety and under proper di-
rection, while motorists slowed down
and watched the line extra closely.
Just out seeing the toys" explained
the young woman at the rear end of
the line. land this is the easiest and
safest way to handle a bunch of
youngsters on the street.

Poisoned by Thousands /!
(By L. H. Smith, NJ. d.


The victims of auto-intoxication are
many thousand every day. By reason
of the toxins or poisons, bred in the
intestines. these poisonous bacteria
are sent all thru the blood channels
and the victim feels tired, sleepy and
headachy, or the brain doesn't work
as usual. The best treatment for this
is to drink hot water before breakfast
plenty of water all day and procure
a supply of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets. made of Mayapple, leaves of
vegetable. which can be obtained at
drug stores for 25 cents.
Equally important is it to cleanse
kidneys and bladder. and drinking
plentifully of pure water will cleanse
them to a certain extent Then obtain
at the drug store a little Anuric,
which was first discovered by DR..
Pierce of Surgical Institute in Buff
falo Anuric should be taken before
meals. 1t is many times more potent
than lithia in throwing off the poi
sonous accumulations of uric acid
Dr. Weir Mitchell once said: What
conditions Allow the mans vitality
to be reduced to certain point, and
he is ripe for any CT these weaknesses,
or certain conditions which we call
disease"
Through failure of kidneys to act,
through congestion. Inflammation,
any persons condition is ripe for dis
ease to fasten its hold upon the sys-.
tenn.
Anuric has been tested for the past
few years for kidney. bladder. uric
acid troubles. rheumatism, govt and
such ailments as follow, and so many
cases both acute and stubborn have
yielded to this wonderful remedy that
1 do not hesitate to recommend it.

BUY YOUR COAL NOW
Topeka Dealer Says Don't Wait Until
Zero weather Arrives.

J. w. Fisher, for So years dealer
in coal, thinks the people of Topeka
who burn coal in the winter would
do well to order it now. The coal
haulers need the work now more than
at the time when business is rushing
in the cold weather, he says, and If
the fuel is arranged for row, there will
be no trouble at all in procuring it.
He declares it to be impossible to store
all the coal that will be used this win
ter.
p why a man couldn't buy sufficient
ground for the storage of all the coal
that Topeka would use," he asserts.
You can't sell coal if people don't
buy it, Preparedness in other than
military matters, is his slogan.
