A BATTLE 10 the finish is being fought
this week in Congress between the dis
tillers and brewers and liquor interests in
general, on the one side, and the advo-
Gates ofprohlbition and food conservation
on the other. The House last week pass
ed the administration food control bill,
after adding provision to prohibit the
use OF grain or any other foodStuffs in the
manufacture OF alcoholic liqnors The
adoption OF this feature OF the bill was a
surprise and a blow to the liquor interests.
and they were unprepared for this the
worst knock that their business has ever
experienced. The bill has now gone to the
Senate, where the vets are making their
last stand. Ii seems TO be assured that
the Senate will agree to the amendment
forbidding the use OF grain in the manu-
facture OF whiSkey, but the brewers and
winemakers are fighting desperately to
save these beverages. There has seldom
been a measure before Congress over
which there has ragged such battle.
Congress ought to pass this bill. The
people OF the country want prohibition in
Wal times-indeed they want prohibition
as settled policy OF our country. They
are sick and tired OF the monstrous liquor
evil. Unless Congress stops the rotting
OF foodstuifs into alcoholic liquors, there
will be contempt for the governments
call for food conservation and patriotism
OF the people will be seriously affected.

IT has been established beyond reaS-
able doubt at the trial now being held in
federal court in New York that the BIZ
luminous coal operators conspired TO run
up 10 unreasonable figures the prices Of
coal shipped from the -btuminous
coal regions OF Virginia and West Virginia.
Without any particular Justification, ex-
cept the necessities OF the people and the
opportunity TO exact exorbtant rates,
prices were advanced 81 Is TO $2.l5 ton
for coal. The operators got together and
agreed to charge at least $500 ton net
for coal at the mines. One well-disposed
operator thought that 81 so was a-plentY,
but the others voted him down, and so
everybody charged $500 ton for the
same coal that they had been selling at
iair profit the previous year at Sl.25 TO
Sl.35.
There is ample ground for the govern
ment taking over the coal operations and
getting IFS fuel and providing for the ne
ceSsitieS OF the people at a reasonable
cost. And incidentally il might be salu-
tary 10 hang few OF the greediest of the
operators.

The State School Book Commission
has stirred up a big hubbub by its recent
awarding OF the contract for school books
to be used in the public schools OF West
Virginia during the next five years. With
out apparent good reason, for the books
if selected are not regarded as any better
or more modern than those they would
replace, The commission made sweeping
changes in the textbooks-from Is to 81
per cent OF those now in use being thrown
out. The amount spent for school books
in the past five years was something
over $S00,000. 1.-THE new contract should
be allowed to stand, nearly all OF these
books would have TO be discarded and
thrown away, thus entailing an enormous
burden upon parents and school children.
Governor Cornwel's attention was
called to the matter, and he at once in
terested himself TO hold up the contract.
He addressed letter TO State Superin-
tendent of Schools M. p. Shawkey, ask
ing him not to sign the award. The
Governor said that in these times OF stress
and high cost OF living no burden should
be added except for the most argent
reason, and besides, such wholesale
changes would tend 10 disorganize and
demoralize school work. The Governor
also declared that he would ask for
legislative investigation OF the matter, as
it was commonly reported that outside
consideration and political influence were
more potent in deciding the award than
the merits OF the books were. Ii is said
that the successful book company had
spent considerable sum OF money in
employing influential politicians TO put
pressure on members Of the commission.
In statement made public on Monday
State Superintendent Shawkey declared
that he had been opposed TO most Of the
changes, for the reason that the books
now in use are comparatively modern
and reasonably good, and that no burden
should be placed upon the people at the
present time unless absolutely necessary.
Mr.. Shawkey has not signed the contract,
nor has the Board of Control approved,
so the people may yet be relieved OF I'M
necessary expense.
The whole trouble seems 10 be trace
able 10 Governor Hatfield, who, playing
cheap and contemplate politics. hastily
and improperly appointed partisan COM
mission OF his own sort, thinking it smart
10 take this advantage OF the incoming
Governor.

New Training Camps.

The u. S. Government, in announcing
its plans for the second officers training
camp, makes special appeal to men OF
mature age. Men OF 81 and up to IA years
OF age are wanted, and men of special
military training up TO so years. The
training camp is primarily for those over
81 years of age.
The War Department makes it very
clear that the men who secure commits
sions at this last camp have taken their
places as leaders OF the first 900, all
promotions will be from the rank and
file.
The government will pay civilians in
training at the rate of 800 per month,
and also furnish transportation, subsist-
ence and uniform. Higher pay will be
given while in actual service.
Applications for the second training
camp will be received by George b.
GoetZ, the branch chairman, in Ransom.
local officers recruiting headquarters, be-
tween June 18th and July 18th.
The obligation involved is enlistment
Ior a period of three months only. APP
plicants will agree to accept at the end
OF the training such commission in the U
S. Army as may be rendered by the Sec
rotary OF War. The enlistment, however,
obigates one to service in the training
camp only.
The training camp for men from West
Virginia will be Fort Benjamin Harrison,

AN important step was taken by our
government on Monday, when President
Wilson appointed an Exports Council,
composed OF the Secretary OF State, the
Secretary OF Agriculture, the Secretary OF
Commerce and the national food admin
iStrator. This body will have absolute
control over exports OF every sort from
the United States. and its action will
have an important bearing on the war.
Heretofore Germany has been receiving
great quantities OF food and other sup
pies shipped TO neutral countries from
The United States. There was no re-
siriction upon such shipments TO neutral
countries, and vast quantities OF goods
sent to Holland, Switzerland and other
neutral nations have been passed on to
Germany. BY the regulations which will
now be enforced, neutral nations will re-
ceive from this country only such goods
as will be applied TO their own necesSi-
ties, and il is proposed 10 keep track OF
all supplies TO their ultimate point OF
consumption.
This development promises TO pinch
Germany rather tightly.

Popular Favor
Won By Tests.
A few facts in regard to the ma
tional Tonic, which IS now sou
here.

Tanlac the National Tonic" IS beng
produced al the laboratories Of the Cooper
Medicine Co, DAYTON, Ohio, at the rale
of nearly five million bottles a year.
The demand for Tanlac is greater iidn
the supply. These facts constitute tne
record of the most popular reconstrucIlve
tonic ever offered TO the people. me
only explanation OF Tanlac's triumph IS
Tanlac's merit. Only true worth coula
gain and sustain the reputation WHICH
Tanlac has won from the very flfst DAY
the first bottle was taken from ihe drug
store. 49,
Back of Tanlac's triumphs IN Inc drug
store stand TanlaC' tTiumphs IN Inc nome.
II is what the neighbors say ABOUT ahidC
that counts. Advertising may sell one
bottle. but the person who gets and uses
that bottle is the person who sells dozen
bottles.
One person benefited by Tanlac may
fell a score or even hundred people
about the medicine that helped them;
People relieved from distressing ano
dangerous illness by Tanlac just can nor
keep their experiences with Ianlac 10
themselves-lhey talk about II 10 every
friend and acquaintance.
Over a quarter OF million people nave
testified TO Tanlac's merits, and in follow,
ing issues of this paper will be puolisneo
what some people right here IN ms Std!e
say about the new medicine, winch IS
now being sold, for one dollar per ootlle,
