PROHIBITION LEGISLATION
BELIEVED ALMOST CERTAIN
Sentiment in Congress Reported to Be
Strong for Some Action Among
Prohibitory Lines.

Washington, May 23.-Liquor prohi-
bition legislation impends both in the
Senate and House in connection with
the food bill and also only in the
Senate on the war taxation bill. Sen
ator Gore, chairman of the Senate ag-
riculture committee who will have
charge of the food production bill to
be pressed in the Senate today, said
the committee will resist any effort to
attach prohibition amendments to that
bill.
Senator Gore is writing prohibit
ton amendment to be offered to the
war revenue bill after it passes the
House. Various other prohibition pro-
posals are being considered by the Sen.
ate finance committee, in which senti'
ment is reported strong for some &C.
ton along prohibition lines.
Senator Gore proposes heavy tax,
virtually prohibitory, upon grains US
ed for manufacture of Intoxicating bev.
erages and remission Of taxes on dis
titled spirits withdrawn from bonded
warehouses for Redistribution into al.
cohol for commercial purposes.

SHORTAGE CANNOT Be BLAMED
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HIGH
PRICES OF VEGETABLES.
With Exception of Old Potatoes and
Strawberries Present Supplies Are
as Great as Last Year.

Washington, May 23.-High prices
for fruits and vegetables cannot be
defended on the ground of supply
shortage in the opinion of the Agri-

rounced that detailed shipment fig
ures show shortage only in old pota-
toes and strawberries.
Shipments of new potatoes, onions,
tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce and celery

ment, were. at least equal to those a
year ago, when prices were much low
er. Twice as many bushels Of new
potatoes ard tomatoes and nearly
seven times as much lettuce as during
the corresponding week last year were
handled from producing fields.
Shipments of old potatoes were CIV
en- as considerably lighter than last
year and shipments of strawberries
approximately one-third less"

MAXIM CLAIMS TO HAVE
SOLUTION FOR '''U-B0ATS'
Says New Device Perfected by Him
Will Render Ships Torpedo
Proof at Any Range.

New York, May 23.-Hudson Maxim
has announced he had perfected de-
vice which would make ships immune
from the dangers Of the submarine. He
said that torpedoes, even when fred
at close range and striking their tar
gets, would explode harmlessly against
the hulls Of their intended victims.
The inventor asserted the invention
soon would be demonstrated by the
government.
"The invention is practical for every
type Of vessel" he said. TT can be
applied within a few months to the
bulls of ships already constructed. The
only change necessary will be a slight
enlargement in their beams. My de-
vice is of solid material and encircles
the entire ship from bow to stern. 1t
in no sense resembles screen or
net"

the habitual use of cigarettes de-
prives the user of mental poise and

Charlton Vaccination.
TO THE LIVE STOCK OWN
Frs OF THE STATE.

Due to the prevalence of char
bon infection, in various sections
of the State, this Board earnestly
advises early incubation, or vacci-
nation. this season on the part OF
the live stock owners in order to
anticipate any probable outbreaks
of this disease and for the purpose
of having their stock protected in
ample time before the advent of
warm weather, which is the char
bon season.
Past experience has demonstra-
ted that best results are obtained
when animals are vaccinated
against Charlton early in the Spring
SO as to allow a sufficient time, in
which to secure protection, before
the season approaches, when char
bon infection usually develops.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board strongly urges, therefore,
that, in those sections of the State
in which Charlton infections has
been known to exist in previous
years, vaccination of animals
should be commenced no later
than the early part of March.
If stock owners will give THU
matter their careful attention, il
will increase the number of pro,
tected animals at the beginning Of
the Charlton season and materially
limit the spread of the disease
should the coming Summer prove
favorable to the development OF
Charlton infection.
