w
figures showing the results of the
work of the Department of Justice in
coping with German plotters in this
country are given in Attorney Cen
eral Gregorys annual report submit
ted today TO Congress. None OF the
details OF the operations of the secret
service of that department, touching
almost every condition from the ro-
mantle to the sordid, are disclosed.
Most of those must necessarily re-
main untold until the end of the war,
when a set of volumes riyaling the
most exciting tales of fiction might be
. written from them. The attorney
generals report merely tells the story
of results in the figures Of prison SEN
, fences which the agents of German
intrigue now are serving in federal
penitentaries.
In dealing with the enemies within,
the department has found that the
espionage law. the trading with the
enemy act, and the prosecution of Sc
ditious conspiracy have been fruitful
>pf results.
The governments hands have
been materially strengthened so that
it now has power to deal with dis
turbing indictments, says the attor-
ney generals report.
The prosecution of William D.
Haywood and other leaders of the So
called Industrial Workers of the
World to the number of more than
80 in the northern district of Illi-
nois, is an in ance of how these laws

beneficial influence towards the main
tenance of order and obedience to law
throughout the country"
After dealing with the war activities
of the department, the attorney gen.
eral passes on to recommendations
concerning the civil laws of the ma
ton.
Attorney General Gregory renews at
the outset his recommendations that
the commodities clause of the inter-
state commerce law be amended 60
meet Supreme Court decisions, to di-
vorce transportation from production.
While the legislation Mr.. Gregory
recommends is intended particularly
to cover the coal roads. it would also
prohibit to the last degree a railway
from manufa curing or owning any,
thing it transports in interstate COM
merce
Also, the attorney general renews
his recommendations for a provision
of law intended to benefit the federal
courts. 1t would provide that when
a federal judge reaches the age Of 70
years and refuses to avail himself of
the retirement already provided by
law, the President shall be author
lied to appoint another judge for the
same district to take precedence over
the older one.
Under existing law there is no legal
penalty for sending threatening let
tiers through the mails unless to ac-
complish extortation or as a part of a
means to defraud. Mr.. Gregory recon-
mends legislation to make 1t a crime.

nal prosecution in bankruptcy cases.

Get the Most Out Of Your Food

The digestive organs absolutely need
the influence Of pure blood for the
proper performance Of their functions.
Persons that sleep in small, illvent-
Hated rooms complain Of little or no
appetite in the morning and Of dis
agreeable dryness of the mouth and
throat. Why? Because as result of
breathing air that is impure, their
blood is impure and fails to give their
digestive organs the stimulus they
must for perfect work. 1t is necessary
that we should have pure blood if we
want to get all the good out of what we
eat that there is in it and to get it
comfortably. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
