PRESIDENT APPROVES
 FOOD INVESTIGATION
PUBLIC CAN ASSIST IN LOWEE ING PRICES BY REFUSING TO
 BUY CERTAIN ARTICLES.

Washington Dec. 1i.-Generai ap- proya of che investigation being con- dJcted by the depa.ment of justice into the increased cost Of living was given by presidenj Wilson today at a conference with District Attorney An der.ol of Post-n, in charge of the in- qtiIy The president will continue the examination o' facts collected by various departments before deciding whether any medal legislation she b. recommended to congress.
 It was said tonight by officials con nectel with the investigation that their chief hole fir tine ultimate low erine of t.e cost oi living lies in sim plyiying the means oe transportation of fo2dstutfs. the practice of economy by the public increase in production by farmers and through other sach meChcjs rather than by uhe prosec1- tiol e law breakers
 Indications are, however that the progr3m for immediate action already oaf lined will be followed with little modification. This includes genera! investigation of the activities Of a- .sged coal and focd s4ccoa ators and a closer inquiry into the relation be- tween the ,eh cost of living and the shortage oi freight cars.

Washington, Dec ll--Eyery mem Der of President Wilson's cabinet, with the possible exception of Attor- ney General Gregory, is expected to remain in office After Mar1b f. when yhe presidents second term begins. It was learned definitely today that all of them have been or will be ask ed to keep their -osts.
 Reports concerning possible resig- nations have centered chiefly around Secretaries McAdoo Houston and Ba- lter and the attorney general IL has been taken for granted that POstmas- ter General Burleson and Secretaries Lansing, Daniels and Wilson would remain, and indefinite rumors that Secretary Redfield might wish to re. tire to private business life were de med some time ago.
 Secretary McAdoo today personally denied that he had any intention of resigning The reports in his case have been most ! ersistent, in spite of denials by officials close to the pres ident.
 Regarding Mir Houston, it became known that the officials of Washing ton University aJ St Louis have ex. tended his leave of absence as chan cellor of that institution SO that he can continue as head of the depart ment of agriculture Because of the investigations in.o the high cost of living and other important work un. dertaken by Secretary Houston, the president is known to consider his continued service in the cabinet as highly desirable.
 Although Secretary Baker has been credited with a desire to leave the cabinet it is learned that in all like lihood he will remain 1t is under stood, however, that there is a possi. bility that he may be sE led to the department of justice is Mr. Gres- ory insists on resignins, and that Vance C. Mccormick, chairman Q. the democratic national committee may be laced in charge ot the war department,
 In the attorney generals case the reports about his intention to resign have been very circumstantial and have been generally accepted by of ficials as true, although he has given no indication of his intentions Tine president has offered Mr. Gregory a seat on the supreme court once and should another vacancy occur during the administration, 1t is thought prob able he would be seriously considered again.

Of Henry Bedard il may well be
said-in the words Of America s

So live that when the summons

The innumerable caravan that

To the pale realms Of shade.
where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of
death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave

Scourgcd TO his dungeon, but sus-
tanned and soothed
BY an unfaultering trust, APP
proach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery
of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleas
