II you know someone who is trou.

by constitutional disease and that

temporize with the complaint and sci.

This being so, much time has been
spent in perfecting a pure, gentle, vet

ASKS TO
REORGANIZE ARMY
TO FIT ALLIES STANDARD-cOM.
PANY TO TOTAL $50 MEN;
BATTALION 1000.
Regiment To Have $500, and Division
19.ooo-Two Captains Provided
For Every Unit.

Neutrality-suspicious. General Per
shing's recommendation that all
branches of the American army be re-
organized completely to conform with
European standards is provided for in
army orders announced, revealing that
the recently announced divisional re.
organization is to be carried down into
the regiments and companies. The
administrative unit of the infantry arm
hereafter will be a company with 250
enlisted men and six commissioned Of
ficers, in place of something over 100
men and three officers. The company
will be divided into four platoons, each
in command of a. Lieutenant. There
will be two Captains as first and sec
Ond in command, one First Lieutenant
and three Second Lieutenants. The
reports Of the review of American
troops in France show that this plan
already has been carried out in Gen
eral Pershing's forces.
The object of assigning two Captains
to each company, it is understood, is
to provide against disorganization of
the unit through the loss of its com
mander. The second Captain, under
the European system, does not go into
battle line with the company if his
senior is present He is held in re-
serve to reOrganize the company if
necessary. Under the new plan each
regiment will have three battalions of
four companies, making total of 5000
men. Supplemented by the regimental
headquarters supply and machine-gun
organizations, the strength of the new
regiments will be brought up to ap-
troximately $500 men, as against little
more than 1000 in existing war
strength regiments. The unit organ
ization of the field artillery and other
arms OF the service has not been
changed. AS a result of reducing the
number of regiments in division, the
division instead of $4,000 men, will to.
tai hereafter about $4,000 men, $4,000
of them infantry.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
OF COAL INDUSTRY.
APPEARS IMMINENT WHEN PRES
IDENT TURNS PERSONAL AT
TENTIoN TO SUBJECT. ID
At Present Prices Coal Operators, Job.
bers and Retailers Arc ReapIns
Exorbitant Profits.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington. - Government control
Of the coal industry appeared immi-
nent when President Wilson turned
his personal attention to the subject
and heard the mine operators and mi.
ners' presentation of the situation.
The interests of the public will be
presented by the Federal Trade Com
mission, which has completed its in
vestigatiop of coal production costs.
Provisions of the food control bill,
giving the President power to fix coal
prices from the mine to the consumer
and investing in him authority to re-
QUESTION all coal produced and sell 1t
to the public, are expected to be put
into operation almost Immediately.
The Trade Commissions report, it
was learned, will say that at present
prices coal operators, jObbers and re-
tailers are reaping eXorbitant profits,
and that inequitable distribution is
adding to the costs in many parts of
the country. Operators and miners
who oppose Government price fixing
in the fear that prices will be pushed
down to too low level put their case
before the President through Francis
S. Peabody, chairman of the Coal Pro
duce Committee of the Council of Ma
tiOnal Defense, and John P. White,
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America. Their idea of solu.
tion of the situation, as expressed to
the President, is that a voluntary ar
rangement be made between opera.
tors, miners and the Government, and
that no move be made toward enforce
ment of the drastic provisions of the
food bill. The coal situation, accord
ing to officials who have studied the
subject, is in a more chaotic state now
than it has been at any time. Miners
throughout the country are threaten
ing to strike unless their wages are
raised to give them a share of the
enormous profits made. Prices are
soaring, despite the agreement made
recently between Government heads
and the operators, and many parts of
the country face a winter with scanty
supplies of fuel.

GOVERNMENT TAKES STEP
TO CONTROL ALL WHEAT
Entire Output May Be cornered, If
Needed, in Order to Stabilize the
Prices Through Year.

Washington.-With the forming OF a
$5O,0O0OO0 corporation, with all of the
stock held by the Federal Government,
the Food Administration prepared to
take over the entire 1917 wheat crop,
If necessary, to stabilize prices
throughout the year. The corporation
will be authorized to buy and sell
wheat at the principal terminals.
The move was the first of series
to be taken to reduce the price Of
bread. Millers have already agreed
to put themselves under voluntary reg
ulations and are working oUt with the
food administration a differental of
profits. Distribution of flour by whole
salers and the baking of bread will be
taken up next
The hope of the food administration
is to establish scale of prices from
the farm to the grocery store, eliminat-
ing undue profits and ending specula-
ton. The maintenance Of standard
price for wheat, its officials believe, is
the first and most necessary step.
The wheat corporation will be put
under the administrations grain divis'
ion. Its Chairman will be Herbert
Hoover and its President julius
Barnes, Duluth exporter, now serving
as a voluntary aide in the food admin,
istration. The Price-FiXing Committee
will be headed by President Garfield,
of Williams College, and will comprise
IL members, representing producers
and consumers.
