FRANCE FINANCE IS
BATTLE Of PEOPLE
FOR THE EXISTENCE

PARIS, Jan. S.-The financial inter
est in the year 1916 in France eenters
in the effort made by the government
and the whole people together to meet
the expenditure of war. 1t is strug-
gle for national existence, in which
the government and people stand to-
gether as one. To imagine that so
united an effort will not persist
through the difficult years of transition
from war to settled peace would be to
misunderstood the entire episode. No
one doubts that France at least wilt
pay her debts.
The real progress made during the
year by the Paris Bourse under over
whelming difficulties, is another proof
that all France is holding out against
any and every financial strain. "Tenir
jusqp'au bout"-"tc hold out to the
eDd"-this was the promise made by
Gen, Gallieni when he undertook the
defense of Paris against the first on
rush of the German armies. The vic
tory of the Marne crowned his efforts.
This is war of munitions, and French
money holds out to pay for the NUM-
tons and whatever else may need pay
ment.

Arguments Begun.

WASHINGTON, D, c., Jan. 8.-Ar
guments over the constitutionality O.
the Adamson law came up today il
the Supreme court. A large array o.
attorneys for the railroads and coun
sci for the government were on hanC
for the last stage of the battle ovel
the validity of the act of congres:
last September when the country was
threatened with nation wide rail
way strike
First upon the courts call of cases
today, following it's three weeks hol-
iday recess, was the Missouri, Okla
homa & Gulf railroad case, chosen by
the Department of Justice and the
railroads for the test. 1t was not ex-
pected that the arguments would be
concluded before tomorrow.
When the court will announce de-
cision is problematical buut oe is ex-
pected within a few weeks, as the
court has consented to expedite the
proceedings and placed the test case
aread of all others upon today's call
The case was appealed last Novem-
ber, from the decision of Federal
Judge Hook, at Kansas City. Mo-, that
the law was unconstitutional, null
and void"
Imposing Array of Counsel.
The railroad lawyers were headed
by Walker d. Hines. Arthur Miller
represented specially the Missouri,
Oklahoma & Gulf road. John G.
Johnson, of Philadelphia, also repre-
scented the railroads.
In charge of the defense of the
Adamson act for the Department OF
Justice were Solicitor General John
W. Davis, Assistant Attorneys General
Z. Marvin Underwood and G. Carroll
Todd and Frank Hagerman, of Kansas
City, special assistant to the Attor-
ney General.
The railroad brotherhoods were not
formal parties to today's test suit;
Judge Hook dismissed the Missouri,
Oklahoma & Gulf railroads bill as to
union officers named defendants.
Today's arguments, technically,
were upon appeal of United States
Attorney Francis NJ Wilson, of Ken
sas City from Judge Hooks decision
in an injunction suit brought by Alex
ander New and Henry c. Ferris, re-
Gulf, to enjoin enforcement of the
law. Actually, however the case will
determine application of the law to all
railroads.
BY a stipulation, signed by rail-
road and department of justice coun-
sci, all other litigation over the Adam
son act has been suspended, pendine
the Supreme courts decision. The
railroads agree meanwhile to keep
special account of wages due en-
sployee under the new law, to insure
payment, if the act is sustained as
constitutional, or given partial appli-
cation.
Principal Provision of Act.
The principal provision of the
Adamson act. which became effective
January 1, and whose operation wa;
suspended by the present legal pro-
ceedings, declares eight hours shall
in contracts for labor and service, be
ueemed a days work for the purpose
of reckoning compensation for service
of all employees employed By
any common carrier by railroad:

sidelight on the firm conditions
of business generally in the United
States is reflected in the reports of
the Packard Carriage Sales Board
at it's March meeting, to the Pack
ard Motor Car company. The board
is composed of the sales managers
of Packard branches and dealers es-
tahlishments in nine Of the principal
cities of the country. 1t announced
an increase in business from Febru-
airy 10 to March Is of IS per cent
over the same period in 1916.
AS purchasers of Packard cars and
trucks are conservative business men,
this should be reassuring information.
A salesman in Philadelphia who re-
certify took the order of prominent
Philadelphia banker notified the fac
tory that the banker had talked to
him at considerable length about his
own feeling in the matter Of pur-
chasing Il new car.
Il had made up my mind to fore
go purchasing a new car this year,
the banker said but / decided . to
study the condition of affairs in
America and | found things IN such
excellent shape that l became con-
fident that there could be no serious
depression for at least two years, no
matter what happened-war, crop
failures or whatever else might come
short of downright disaster"
1t is somewhat curious coinci-

increased business last week was in

COTTONsEED MEAL
IS NOT INJURIOUS

! The opinion prevalent In some sec
/ tons that even the moderate feeding
! of cottonseed meal to dairy cows in
! jures them and is detrimental to the
! quality of the butter is not justified
according to specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
Cottonseed meal, it is said, may be
fed for years to dairy cows in prop
erly balanced rations with no i'll effect.
1t contains the highest quantity of
protein of all the COW feeds ordinaril 2,
found upon the market. For that rea-
son it is especially valuable as Il
means of balancing rations deficient in
protein, when corn and corn products
or other farm grown feeds form a large
proportion of the cows feed 1t should
not be fed in excess at any time. AS
rule, two to four pounds daily are to
be considered a good feed in connec-
ton with other concentrates and
rOughage.
A feed sometimes sold on the mar
kets of the south is called "cottonseed
meal feed" which is only a finely
ground mixture of cottonseed bulls and
cOttonseed meal, and its feeding value
is usually very much lower than that
of pure cOttonseed meal. Prime or
choice cOttOnseed meal analyZes ap-
proximately as follows:
Digestible nutrients in cottonseed
meal:
Per cent.
Crude protein Observation-Disclosures. 81 0
Carbohydrates ....-............ % 0
Fat &
The cottonseed meal feed, on the 9TH
er hand, has no standard analysis and
its feeding value depends entirely upon
the amount of hulls used in the adul-
teration. 1t probably often contains as
low as from Is to 20 per cent crude
protein and has not more than half
the feeding value of choice meal
Experiments in the feeding of cot
tonseed meal to dairy cows have been
conducted at the agricultural colleges
of practically all the southern states.
They are unanimous in reporting that
when fed in moderate quantities and
in connection with other concentrates
ordinarily available on the market. cot
tonseed meal is the cheapest source of (
protein to be had. At the South Caro- |
lima station, five or six pounds of cot |
tonseed meal daily in connection with |
20 to 80 pounds of corn silage were !
fed to dairy cows through a long
period. The cows thrived and no i'll |
effects from the feed were observed.
In fact, they kept in remarkably good
condition and were always ready for
their feed.
The milk of COWS heavily fed on
cottonseed meal yields hard, tallowy
butter, light in color and poor in flavor
II, however a moderate allowance is
fed in properly balanced ration, the

quality is not impaired and may even
be improved, if the other feeds tend to
produce a soft butter.
Since cottonseed meal is q highly
heterogeneous heavy feed. it should ordi-
narily be mixed with feeds which are
bulky and lower in crude protein. A
good mixture is equal parts of cotton
seed meal and corn -and-cob meal, or
cottonseed meal and wheat bran. 1t is
not advisable to feed more than four
or five pounds adily under any condi-
lions, although much more has been
fed without any preceptible bad effect
on the animals. On account of its
costive effect it is always best to feed
it in connection with an ample guam
tity of succulent roughage, such as
silage, roots, or green feeds.

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.

Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
