SAYS AMERICANS
ARE BEING G0UGED
PAID TO SPECTATORS,
DECLARES HOOVER.
Accepts Call to Explain Food Bill and
Makes Powerful Speech Favoring
Legislation to Control Prices
of Necessaries of Life.

WaShington.-Food spectators have
been taking $5O,OOOOO0 month for
the last five months-a total of II
American people, Herbert c. Hoover
told senators on June 10, in explaining
the purpose of the food-control bill
now before congress.
Mr.. Hoover, who is President Will
sons food administrator went to the
capitol Tuesday by invitation to eN-
plain personally to senators the gov
ernment's food-control bill under con-
sideration in both houses of congress.
The real question:" he said, in a
prepared statement preliminary to
senatorial questioning. lis whether the
shortage will continue next year and
what will be the needs of the allies
and America. Despite the reduced
consumption of the allies. they will re-
Quire larger amounts of cereals next
year than ever before. The allies are
more isolated in food sources. 1t
takes three times the tonnage and
double the trouble to get Australian
wheat. Crop failures in the Argentine
give no hope of relief from there be
fore next spring.
The allies are dependent upon
North America for the vast majority
of their food imports. We should be
able to supply 60 per cent of the
wheat they require. The other 40 pei
| cent must be made up by further de
NAL on their part and saving on ours
We can increase our surplus. The stu
alton for them next year means in
creased privation. Without an ade
quate food supply no European popu
lation will continue to fight and We
shall find ourselves alone against Ger
many.
1.-The Russian revolution was a foot
riot and even yet that ally is temper
arily paralyzed. Responsibility rest
on our government for failure of de
mocracy through shortage of food.
Turning to domestic conditions. Mr.
Hoover said this country had been ex
periencing unprecedented prices ant
rampant speculation" citing how mid
dlemen and all other persons in tn
distribution processes have been pur
chasing increasing supplies to aver
individual shortages.
Mr.. Hoover cited the canning trad
as an example, where the entire out
put of vegetables and fish for 1917 ha
been disposed of already before it ha
even reached the Gamers. He pre-
dicted further high prices. Thousand
of men, he said, who heretofore hav
never owned a dollars worth of foot
stuffs are now specializing in necess
ties.
1.-The average prices to the consun
ers in countries where food admins
tration is now in effect are lower tina
those now prevailing in the Unite
= States" he said. "In England tn
price of bread is even % per cent b.
{ low the price we pay. 1 believe thu
unless some administration of our foo
is taken we will look back at thes
prices as being moderate"

"HUS wrote Thomas Jefferson for
the Continental congress in the
famous Declaration of Independ-
ence. 1t was signed at Independence
hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1776. With
the pealing of old Liberty bell that
summer day the birth of new nation
was announced. Like her sturdy sons,
that nation was conceived in hardship.
Her heritage of devotion to principle
was the noblest gift brought by the
Mayfiower. Innate courage grew fear
less in the face of constant danger,
and her sons grew skillful by constant
toll. They craved not courtier favors
but demanded the right to develop
along the lines of new democracy the
nation then born. Contact with the
wilderness had taught them that
Ills as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle
of legendary virtue carved upon our faith
ers' graves.
For them to be convinced was as
though the thing had been decreed of
God. They were convinced and they
proclaimed their birthright by declar-
ing their independence and then fight
ing for it against one of the proudest,
strongest nations of the earth.
Nation Wholly Worthy.
It was inevitable that such a begin
ming should produce a nation of stall
warts. What they lacked in knightli-
ness they made up in manliness. De
vOtion to principle left no room for
compromise with policy. The result was
Il people chosen by fitness for great
place in the economy of the worlds

| At this season we celebrate the an
| niversary of the nations birth. The
40 anniversaries since then have not
all been to our credit. We have turned
from the serious to the frivolous, the
national birthday has become II carni-
val. In the name of patriotism all
kinds of follies have been permitted.
Instead of real honor to the nation the
day has been made an occasion for
gain. People have made for themselves
hardship in vain attempt to have
more noise than their neighbors make
Fitting Celebrations.
But we rejoice in the change to be
noticed in the way OF observing the
nations birthday. People are begin
ming to see that noise is not patriotic
and that the youth of the present need

GERMANS FAIL
TO FOLLOW UP
FRENCH DRIVE
Make No Further Effort in
Champagne; Allies Repulsed
in Counterattack

Apparently. the Germans have not
followed up the attack Berlin reported
yesterday as having gained ground for
them half a mile deep on mile and
a half front in the Champagne.
To-day's announcement from Bor-
lin mentions no further German effort
in this region. The French, however,
are declared to have been repulsed in
an attack in thel Champagne, south OF
Ripont, where the Germans reported
their advance had been scored.
The Paris official statements so far
have not mentioned any infantry fight
ing in the Champagne during the per-
iod covered by the German claim.
To-day's bulletin reports merely the
continuation of artillery actions in this
district.
Blow Ammunition Stores
Another attack made by the French
was in the Aisne region. west of Berry
au-Bac. Berlin reports this likewise
was repulsed. The blowing up OF sew
eral entente ammunition depots in tho
Somme region, the explosions shaking
the ground as far as st. quentin,
twenty miles away, is reported by the
German war office.
Raiders Active
Pronounced activity by raiders de-
veloped along large sectors of the
Franco Belgian front, in the Artolse.
along the Somme, southeast of Ner-
dun and in Alsace.
The most important development in
the other war areas was the beginning
of engagements along the northern
part of the Rumanian front, north OF
the Cituse Valley, reported by Berlin.
The fighting there started at dawn to-
day. The German statement did not
indicate which side took the offensive.
Petrograd's statement refers merely
to outpost engagements in the Ruma-
niau war theatre.
One steamer was added by the
morning reports to the list of vessels
destroyed. The victim was the British
steamer Lady Ann, of LOIS tons, sunk
by striking a mine.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at tie neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is diff

because they can't control urination.
While ii is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast, continue this for
two or three days This will neutral
ize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to IT, e
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caus-
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts
is splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever,
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.

Huge Business and Large AT
tendance as Show Draws
to Close

The order books of the statesmen are
growing fat as the end of the Eighth
Annual Automobile Show draws near
the end. Until after tonight, when
the show closes, it will be impossible
to get definite idea of the actual
amount of business transacted or the
total number of visitors for the week.
1t is a foregone conclusion however
that both from the standpoint of busi-
ness done by the exhibitors and the
total attendance the figures will be far
in advance over any previous years
show. j. Clyde Myton, secretary OF
the Harrisburg Motor Club, who is
managing this years show, is receiv-
ing congratulations from members
and exhibitors for the wonderful show
he has staged.
Last nights attendance was rec
ord-breaker for the same night of
previous shows. In fact, but one
night in the shows history has had a
larger attendance.
The show closes tonight, but unlike
the balance of the week, the closing
hour has been made eleven, instead
of ten o'clock.

Can Stand Eight 'O7 Panics
With u. S. Money Resource:

Washington, d. c., Feb. II. - The
nations finances are mobilized to meet
any situation likely to be presented in
the near future, in the opinion of the
Federal Reserve Board, whose precau-
tionary measures, undertaken upon the
severance of diplomatic relations with
Germany, have assumed concrete form
and are believed to cover every con-
tingency that may arise.
There is at present on deposit with
Federal reserve agents in the various
districts approximately 5000, 900, 900 in
cash and the huge reserve of $780,
100000 is available at Washington for
use wherever it may be needed. AS a
precautionary measure. the board has
requested the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing to engrave large additional
sum of reserve notes which will be
ready for use in case the occasion may
arise.
An estimate by George NJ Reynolds
of Chicago, that the banks of the coun-
try are at present able to withstand
financial strain involving eight times
the sum involved in the panic of 1907
is believed by officials to be a correct
appraisal of the strength of the Fed
eral reserve system.
