FINANCIAL Freedom
FOR U.S.. ESTABLISHED
Paul M. Warburg. of Federal Reserve
Board. Says America from Now
On viii Be World Banker.

The United States has established its
financial Independence since the outbreak
of the European war. said Paul NJ War
burg OF the Federal Reserve Board, in
a speech on uniformity of laws delivered
at the recent sessions Of the International
High Commission at Buenos Aires, and
the task which now confronts American
business men IL to establish themselves
as one of the worlds greatest banking
powers.
1T is not any more a question OF hopes
and Wishes" said Mr.. Warburg, but a
question of mathematical certainties. And
Il does not now, as 1t did a year ago,
take any degree OF bold prophecy to
toretell what the outcome must be- The
United States now is, and from now on
will be, one OF the world bankers"
A translation of Mr.. warburg's speech,
which was delivered In Spanish, was
made public at the Treasury Department
yesterday afternoon.
Our own financial independence had
to be accomplished" said Mr.. warburE,
before we in turn could expect to De-
come a permanent factor in relieving
the dependence Of other nations. This
development has taken place in an in
credibly short time. We have not only
paid our debts in Europe, bought back
our own securities to an amount which
staggers the imagination (estIrnated at
one billion dollars), but also have made
loans to foreign countries aggregating
over a billion dollars"

AN inside BATH
MAKES YOU LOOK
AND FEEL FRESH
Says a Glass of Hot Water with
Phosphate Before Breakfast
Keeps Illness Away.
This Excellent, Common Sense
Health Measure Being Adopt
ed by Millions.

Physicians the world over recommend
the inside bath. claiming this of vastly
more importance than outside cleanli-
ness, because the skin pores do not alb
sorb impurities into the blood, causing
Ill health, while the pores in the ten
yards Of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a glass
Of hot water with a teaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate in It, as a harmless
means Of helping to wash from the stom-
ach, liver. kidneys, and bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible material. poisons,
sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing.
sweetening, and purifying the entire all
mentary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin. so hot water and
limestone phosphate act in the elimina-
tive organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a
dull aching head. sallow complexion. acid
stomach; others who are subject to bill
ious attacks or constipation, should OBJ
tain a quarter pound Of limestone phos-
phate at the drug store. This will cost
very little but is sufficient to demonstrate
the value of inside bathing Those who
continue It each morning are assured
of pronounced results, both in regard to
health and appearance.

QUICK ACTION Is NEEDED
Officials Say Business Men Are De,
tered by Fear of Violating
Antitrust Laws.

The Federal Trade Commission rec
commended to Congress yesterday the
enactment Of legislation tnat will per-
NIT American manufacturers to enter
into combinations or associations for
export trade without violating the
Sherman antitrust act.
by its investigation the commits
sion has established the fact that
doubt as to the application Of the
antitrust laws to export trade now
prevents concerted action by Ameri-
can business men in export trade, even
among producers of noncompeting
goods" says the report OF the COM
mission.
IN view OF this fact and of the con-
Viction that cooperation should be
encouraged in export trade among
competitors as well as noncompeti-
tors, the commission recommends the
enactment of declaratory and permits
sive legislation to remove this doubt.
The commission feels that II would
fail of its duty II 1t did not urge the
pressing need OF such action imme-
dlately. If American business men are
to make the most of the great oppor-
tunittes now before them. are to build
securely in foreign trade, and are to
avoid disaster in the shock of the
stern and determined competition that
will doubtless follow the war. they
must at once perfect the organization
demanded by the conditions OF inter
national trade"
The commission states that while
the United States has been absorbed
| in domestic development, other ma
| tlons have followed definite policies
for the expansion OF their foreign
trade and have perfected eficient or
lganizations for the purpose in view.

employees ASK WILSON
FOR SATURDAY REST
G. L. Cain States Case of Federal
Workers, Urging Weekly Half
Holiday Throughout Year.

A plea for a Saturday half holiday all
the year around for Federal employees in
the District was made before President
Wilson at the White House yesterday by
George L. Cain, national president of the
National League Of Government EN-
ployes.
Mr.. Cain pointed out that forty-three
municipal governments in thirty-three
States let their employees of at noon
every Saturday, whereas the Federal
government requires its employees to
work until 4:8o o'clock, except during
the extremely hot summer months.
Referring to the voluntary steps taken
by department. stores and other private
firms TO give their employees a half
! holiday on Saturdays throughout the
year, Mr.. Cain quoted from statistics Ia
show the beneficial results to employer
and employe alike in the way of in
creased efficiency due to general improve
ment in working hours and working con-
ditions generally.
He laid before the President vital
statistics showing that the length of life
Of the average employe had increased
from trirty-three to fifty-one years; that
the death rate had decreased from n per
1000 to Il; that the death rate from
! tuberculosis had decreased from 100 to
~ per cent in cases: that there was 4
per cent less sickness. 80 per cent less
loss of time due to sickness and an in.
crease in the per capita wealth from
$500 to 1880

the matter with the members of the Cab.

WHO SETS THE PRICE?

Some discussion took place on the
street Saturday as to the proper price
for butter. The question is: "Who
sets the price?' Who determines
whether it is, on certain day in Oro-
fino, zoe per pound, or soc per pound,
or some other figure? Why can this
somebody not stand in with the farmer
and say butter is worth 81 per pound
every day? If price is arbitrary, a
thing to be fixed by the Orofino stores,
why can they not fix it high and
keep it there? You say the mer-
chants wants the price low so he can
make all the profit. Very well,
suppose the farmers open a store and
set the price for butter, their own
butter, at, say, 81 per pound? II
price or market is creature of the
Orofno merchants, as some farmers
seem to think, why not the farmers
do the fixing? Suppose the stores
were all owned by farmers, and sup
nose these farmer merchants announ-
ced that the price of butter shall be
45c per pound, and eggs soc per dozer
all the year thru. Would that make
it bring that? Could such market
be maintained? Yes, until the com.
