or over-work aggravated the trouble
and | vas bothered by dizzy spells
and blurring of my sight. Often,

Doan's Kidney Pills brought me great
benefit. The dizzy spells soon disap-
peared and | continued taking the med

GREAT BRITAIN WILL
CONTROL FOOD SUPPLY
Ministry Facing Huge Task In
Procuring Equality of
Sacrifice.

London, Nov. 20.-No other govern
ment action in Great Britain during
the war has commanded such immedi-
ate and almost unanimous support as
has the decision to control food sup
plies and prices. Virtually the entire
press welcomes the scheme. Almost
the only criticism expressed is that the
allies should have taken charge of the
nations food supply long ago.
The difficulties of handling such a
vast and complicated problem in a
country unused to ~paternaliStic meth
DDS are not underestimated. Arrange
ments are being made between the
board of trade and the board of agri-
culture for controlling the prices OF
stock. The distribution of the most
important commodities = corn, meat
and potatoes-is already partly regu-
lated, as also is hat of sugar.
One of the troublesome features Of
the situation is how to equalize mat
tiers between the rich and the poor.
On the theory Of Equality Of sacrifice
for ALL" which is a popular war watch
word, the newspapers are making a
sensation of luxurious menus in fash
ionable restaurants and homes. The
limitation of restaurant meals to three
courses is to be discussed Wednesday
to devise economy.

WEEK BEFORE RECHECK
OF VOTES is FINISHED

Sacramento, Cal, Nov. Collection
returns from Is counties in which were
cast more than half the votes of the
state are yet to be received for Tina
anvas by Secretary Of State Frank
C. Jordan. In the 43 counties from
which figures ave been received and
tabulated, no errors were made by the
county clerks, and the official canvass
failed to change the votes on presiden-
tial electors. The counties which thus
far have failed to report election re-
turns are San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Alameda. Sacramento, San Diego,
Butte, Fresno, Humboldt, Imperial,
Lassen, MERGED, Mono, Orange, San
Bernardino and Yuba. Should figures
from some OF these counties be de-
layed until late in the week in reach
ing the capital it is feared difficulty
will be met in completing the count
not later than Monday, November 27,
as specified by law. The returns from
these counties have been rechecked by
the county officials. however, and no
material changes are expected.

Presidents Chosen By
Popular Vote. ]

Portland, Ore, Nov. 21.-Seaator
George E. Chamberlain. who left last
night for Washington. announced that
at the coming session OF congress he
will introduce a proposed constitutional
amendment providing for the election

the amendment under way promptly, SO
that 1t may be acted on by congress
and. II adopted there, by the legisla-
lures OF the various states in time to
become available for the next presiden-
tial election.
1.-THE recent election demonstrated
more strongly than ever the Desirable
ity OF electing the president by direct
vote" said Senator Chamberlain. eft
5000 votes in California had been
changed that state would have gone for
Hughes and he would have been
elected, Notwithstanding 100000 more
votes We're asst in the nation for Will

present system might work to the dis
advantage of the other party

UNEMPLOYED BOMBS
in CARGO OF SUGAR
American Vessel Also Caught
Fire at Sea From an I'm
known Cause.

New York, Nov. 21.-Twenty unex-
ploded bombs were found in the
cargo of the American steamship Sar-
MIA, upon her arrival at C~herbourg,
France. after a voyage starting from
New York On September 2, during
which the vessel caught fire from a
cause unknown, according to Fourth
Mate Wybrance, of the Sarnia, who ar
rived here today on the American line
steamship New York from Liverpool.
Sugar made up the bulk of the cargo
both of the Sarnia n the barge Avon
dale. which she had in tow upon leav-
ing New York. The fire at sea was ex-
tinguished Without serious damage,
Wybrance said, and the two vessels
put in at Havre. 1t was not until they
reached Cherbourg that the sugar was
rnloaded. The Sarnia, before the war,
was a Observation-Disclosures steamer and
since being transferred to the Ameri-
can registry. was cleared from New
York by j. n. Winchester e. Co, ship
ping brokers, and vas owned by the
Hudson Bay company.
The sugar was consigned TO the
French government by A. H.. Lamborn
e Co, New York sugar brokers.

Girl Filler Makes Trip From Chi
Cago to New York in Nine
Hours, One Minute Ac-

New York, Nov. 20.-The record
began yesterday at Chicago, terminated
at Governors Island here, at 9:40 a. m.
today. after stops at Hornell and Bling
hampton, N. y. The final 1852 miles from
~Bingha1npton to this city was covered
this morning in two hours and 20
minutes, and the entire journey, S32
miles in an airline, in the actual
flying time Of nine hours and n
minute.
Miss Law was greeted on her arrival
at Governors Island by Maj. Gen. and
Mrs. Leonard Wood, who congratulated
her on her achievement. She was con-
siderably chilled and was taken to the
house of one of the officers at the post
to recuperate.
She had little to say about her flight,
except that she had to fly much lower

chine here that the structure was such
as to expose her to the air more than
in the case of most modern aeroplanes.
The pilots seat is placed on a projec-
ton in trout of the machine SO that the
aviatrix gets the full force of the
wind.
The machine used by Victor Carl
strom, previous holder of the American
nonstop record, established in a flight
November 8, from Chicago to New

RUMAN|A IN NEED
Of HEAVIER GUNS
Early Defeats Due to Failure
to Apply Lessons Learned In
Present War-Lack
Equipment.

Berlin. (via London). Nov. 21.-Ru-
mania's failure to Withstand the AUS
tro-German offensive in Pennsylvania
is to be ascribed, according to Joseph
Wirth, correspondent of the Lokal An
zeiger, principally to the lack of high
trajectory and mountain artillery n
to inferior leadership.
The subsidiary causes, the cor
respondent says, are the lack of barbed
wire for entanglements. the adherence
to old style Russian trenches that cave
in disastrously with the arrival of the
first shell, and the lack of equipment
for many of the troops as well as tcle-
phone material, wagons and aviators.
The correspondent continues:
The Russians have not even adopted
the almost universal transportable
kitchen wagon, but still carry food to
the troops to the front in canstoweden
lumber wagons.
The Rumanians fight far better
when defending their own territory
than when on offensive. They looked
for a short, decisive campaign and
were unprepared for long fighting.
THE Rumanian officers, all carry
and study religiously. a general staff
book on lessons learned from the war,
but they seem to be unable to apply
them practically"

Now Beyond Monastjr.
GIVES B CAPITAL.

London, Nov. 21.-The Serbians are
given the lions share of honor by the
morning papers in discussing the fall
or Monastir. The capture Of Hill 1912
to Hill 1878, threatening the
Bulgarians' only avenue of retreat aling
the Prilep road is considered the main
factor in forcing the hasty evacuation
Of the city.
Military opinions insist that the allies
u now advance toward Prilep, using
as a base and from there TO
Negotin, on the Vardar. From the latter
town they claim that the BULGARIAN po-
sitions east Of the Cerna could be out
thanked and the frontier passes opened
to the allied forces which are now
engaged northwest of Saloniki.
The fall OF Monstair is considered as
clearly showing the superiority Of the
allies over the German-Budgarian
forces in view OF the admirable de-
lenses which had been erected around
the city.

Fought in Bitter Cold.
A Reuter- dispatch from British head
quarters in Macedonia, under date OF
November II, describes the fighting in
the direction of Monastir as proceeding
in bitter cold. rain, sleet, mud and
slush.
The Serbians. supported by French
guns and a contingent of French in
fantry, for 10 days maintained an un-
ceasing offensive. says the dispatch,
and although the enemy forces were
continually reinforced, they were
driven from position after position.
"The Serbian-French successes on the
bank Of the Cerna river" continues the
dispatch, gave the allies such an ad.
vantageous position that the enemy
was obliged to abandon the Renal
line, although it proved almost ar IN.
vulnerable frontal attack. The Bulgar
German trenches were deep n narrow
and were provided with shelters nearly
80 feet under ground, affording com
plete shelter from the blast. Ever,

abandonment and these were supplied
by threat to their line of retreat"
