ASK WILSON 0|V
 FOOD LEGISLATION
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]
 WASHINGTON, July 13.-President Wilson's assistance was sought to- day in solving the senates differ ences over food control legislation and his conclusions to be communi cated to the leaders before a vote is taken July 21 are expected to go far toward determining the bills final form.
 While desultory debate proceeds in the senate and sentiment grew in favor of compromise measure, Sen ator Martin, the democratic leader, and Chairman Simmons of the fir ance committee, went to the White House and laid before MT. Wilson the whole situation which is holding up action.
 The house bill as amended and pending in the senate, and the great ly restricted substitute prepared by Senator Gore as a compromise were discussed at length and the presi- dent agreed to study both measures in detail and report his conclusions It is understood he was told that the pending bill as amended to extend government control over iron, steel, copper, cotton and other products in addition to food and fuel must be materially changed if it is to havv a chance of passage.
 Prohibition was not discussed at length with the president except as it incidentally affects federal reve- nues and the war tax bill It was predicted tonight that no action would be developed in conference.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Cool Columbia

Today is the first showing of Gen eral Pershing arriving in France with the United States fighting forces. It Is safe to say that this is one of the most notable films which has ever come to Phoenix. It was only a few weeks ago that the news of Pershing leaving the country was printed and now there are the actual moving pie lures of his arrival. This picture has great interest attached to it owing to the great danger of travelling across the sea. Not man was hurt, though submarines were sighted, which made things interesting for the party.
 The pictures are clear and show the wonderful patriotic demonstration of the French given to Pershing and his staff

The nart is that of a two-gun man of the days of long ago, when the arguments of the moment were settled with the six pistol instead of the courts.

A Halt to John BarIeycorn.

Ten years ago probably not one
American in a million expected to see
the day when the government, on thir-
ty days notice, would by Its fiat stop
the making of whisky for an indefin.
ite period. Yet that is precisely what
was done last month, under the pro.
visions of the Food Control Act, while
the country looked on in .amazement
The greatest distilleries in the world
those at Peoria and Louisville
stopped the buying Of grain, save in
comparatively small quantities for the
manufacture Of alcohol for commercial
and medicinal uses. These great
plants have not been equipped for
producing anything except whisky
Experts tell us, however, that Of all
the grain that was taken by distil.
leries the country over, only 40 per
cent went into whisky. This estimate
would indicate a saving Of 10000, 900
bushels of grain year for food pur.
poses. There need be no fear Of a
whisky famine, for the stock accumu
lated by the distillers and stored Is
described as enormous. Meanwhile
the government will continue the col
lection of heavy taxes on this stock
and its revenues from this source may
be even greater than before the manu-
facture was stopped. = From "The
Progress of the World" in the Amer

COMB SAGE TEAM
!. FADED0RGRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Dark
ems so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Z, Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens SO naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell 1t has been ap-
plied--it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, 1t is restored
to its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful. This preparation
is a delightful toilet requisite. It is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.

# BACK HURTS Use
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
.
Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like
lead or Bladder
bothers.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe headaches,
rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts
OF bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass Of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine SO 1t no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts Is harmless; inexpensive; ;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble
while 1t is only trouble.

Uncle Sam Asks That Imitation Food
Be Used or Scenes Omitted Alto
gether During War.

Uncle Sans food administration is
asking the theatrical and moving-pic-
ture people of the country to refrain
from using real food in their produc-
tious during the war. The administra-
ton Is Of the opinion that In meals on
the stage and in the making Of films,
limitations can be used in most cases,
and believes that where this is not pos
sible, the scenes showing the use Of
food can be omitted.
The amount of food unprofitably
used In theatrical performances
throughout the country amounts to a
much larger bulk than is ordinarily re-
allied. The food administration de-
sires TO stop not merely the actual
waste Of this food material, but to pre-
vent the unconscious bad effect on au-
diences at this time when every effort
is being made to drive home the need
Of the elimination of every possible
food waste as means of helping to
win the war.

Who Cares Now


You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once q week invited an awful
death from lockiaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness Is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, lifts of with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment II is ap
piled, and. simply shrivels the corn or
callous without inflaming or even ir.
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone viii
cost very little at any OF the drug
stores, but viii positively rid ones

GASOLINE FROM GASES
New Method of Extraction Found
by Uncle Sans Experts.
Absorption Process Different From
Those Formerly Used and is Ex-
pected to Reduce Waste.

At the present moment, when the
country's needs for gasoline threaten
to outstrip supplies, new means fol
obtaining gasoline Is of greatest impor
tance, says statement issued by
Uncle Sans department OF the In
terror. Such new source is disclosed
in bulletin 120, Extraction of Gasoline
From Natural Gas by Absorption Meth
ods," by George A. Burrell, P. M. Bid
olson and G. G.. Oberfell, which may be
obtained free upon application from
the bureau of mines, department of the
interior, Washington. Bulletin 12O Is
an important contribution to the lit
erature on the extraction of gasoline
from natural gas.
The extraction of gasoline from nat
ural gas by compression and condensa
ton has been an important and rapidly
growing industry in recent years. In
1915 about 65,000,O00 gallons were pro
duced by such methods, while in 19lt
the estimated production was 100000,
900 gallons. This gasoline is Of dou
bled Importance in that 1t can be blend
ed with napthas otherwise unsatisfac
tory for use in the automobile, an6
made into an acceptable motor spirit.
The absorption process is quite diff
ferent from the older compression
process and heretofore has not beer
Prescribed in literature. It is a method
only recently commercially applied tt
natural gas yielding the same quality
Of gasoline and capable of being ap
piled under conditions where the oldel
process could not be employed profit
ably. By 1t the gasoline in natural
gas, though extremely lean, can be alb
sorbed in oil from which 1t is separated
by distillation. Natural gases yielding
less than one pint of gasoline from
each thousand cubic feet Of gas haye
been treated with commercial success
where formerly this gasoline had gone
to waste and had constituted source
of much trouble and expense In the
pipe lines.
In view of the present needs of gas0
| line for war and industrial purposes
this additional quantity of gasoline
heretofore a waste and source Of ex
pense, is of tremendous Importance
and may be considered as an excellent
ILLUSTRATION of the results the bureau
Of mines is obtaining in its investiga
tions for reducing wastes and increas
ing efficiency In the petroleum indus
try.
Bulletin 120 treats fully the underly
ing principles Of the absorption proc
ess, as well as the methods for testing
natural gases for gasoline, the con
struction and operation of absorption
plants, and records the results OBJ
tained by several plants of demon
strated commercial success. While 81
far restricted In commercial use to tn,
treatment of large volumes of gasel
too lean for profitable treatment b!
compression, it is not thought to b.
limited to that field but is believed Il
be capable of extension into condi
tions where compressors are now be
Ing employed.
