SUGAR SHORTAGE
MAYLAST WELL
INTONOVEMDER
Hoover Counts on Hawaiian
Crop to Relieve Situation
in the East

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 16.-The
Eastern states face a sugar shortage
with no prospect OF relief before late
in November when the Hawaiian and
Western beet crops arrive In a state
ment tonight forecasting the shortage
the food commission again appealed
to the American people to cut down
their consumption Of candy and sweet
drinks, and at the same time gave
warning that retailers already have
received their stocks at prices recently
agreed upon, and the public should
pay no more during the temporary
scarcity in the East than il has been
paying during the past 80 days.
The shortage is due. the food adj
ministration says, TO the failure OF the
public, outside of a few loyal homes.
to reduce consumption and the nm
usual exports to France in order that
the French people may have their
meager ration of one pound of sugar
per person per month.
Prices Are Fixed
In regard to prices attention is called
to the fact that by agreement the
price of beet and Hawaiian sugar has
been fixed at 7 IA cents pound, At
lantic and Pacific seaboard basis un'
der which the maximum retail price
at interior points should be IA cents,
while by an agreement with the cane
refiners and Cuban producers the price
of cane sugar has been held down
So that it should reach the consumer
at about 9 cents a pound. -
The administration notes that it still
is waiting a reply to its appeal to
the Louisiana producers to join in the
agreement.
Shortage Is Temporary
There will be a temporary short
age in the supply Of sugar to the area
north of Savannah and east Of Pitts
burg" the food administration state
ment said, during the latter part OF
October and the month OF November,
pending the arrival in the market OF
new sugar. The beet sugar factories
In the Western states are rapidly com
ing into action, and. together with
the Hawaiian production, will be able
in short time to take care OF the
sugar supply in the area west of the
territory referred to. =
AS the production of beet and Ha.
waiian sugar increases the area sup,
piled from this source will gradually
extend eastward and the beet sugar
should reach the Atlantic seaboard
by the end of November. The rapidity
with which this sugar invasion from
the West can take place will be large.
Iy controlled by the economies shown
in the consumption of sugar by the
people in the Western area, and the
food administration makes a special
appeal to them that they should rig.
erously reduce the consumption OF
sugar. more especially Of candy and
sweet drinks, in order that the North
eastern states may be supplied at the
earliest possible moment

GAS IN THE STOMACH
Is DANGEROUS
Physicians Recommend the Use OF
Magnesia for Quick Relief.

Sufferer from Indigestion or dys-
persia should remember that the
presence of gas or win1 in the stom.
ach invariably indicates that the stom-
ach is troubled by excessive acidity.
This acid causes the food TO ferment
and the fermenting food in turn gives
rise to noxious gases which distend
tie stomach, hamper the. normal func-
tions of vital internal organs, cause
acute headaches, interfere with the
action of the heart, and charge the
flood stream with deadly poisons,
which in time rauSt ruin the health.
Physicians say that to quickly dispel
a dangerous accumulation of wind in
tie stomach and to stop the food fer
mentation which creates the gas, the
acid in the stomach m-.st be neutral
lied and L at for this purpose there
is i. ling quite so good as teaspoon
full of pure bisurated ''taTnesia taken
in a little. wat>r Immediately after
meals. This instantly neutralizes the
acid, thus stopping fermentation and
the Formation. of gas, and enables the
inflamed, distendcd stomach to pro,
coed with its work und r natural con
ditions. Bisurated magnesia is obtain
able i'm powder or tablet form from any
druggist: but as there are many diff.
ferent forms of magnesia it is imp, r.
tant that the bisurated which the ply.
sicians prescribe should be distinctly
asked for.--Ady. .4.-@..

TUBERCULOSIS
CONVENTION WORK

With the adoption of a war-tuber-
culosis program, the Washington As
ISOLATION for the Prevention and
Relief of tuberculosis closed its an
nual convention in Tacoma on Fri
day, July 9th.
A campaign of publicity to clearly
set forth the facts concerning the sit
uation in the state and the complica-
tions caused by the war was Of
fered as the first step. Plans for
assisting the medical authorities in
preventing the enlistment of tuber-
culous recruits was considered the
next vital issue, while the third was
the immediate and necessary problem
of providing hospital and Senatorial
care for the civil cases as well as
the returning soldier who has devel-
oped the disease.
A resolution urging the State
Council of Defense to carry the edu-
cational anti-tuberculosis program
through all the agencies established
under it's jurisdiction, and rendering
the fullest cooperation of the Asso-
citation was enthusiastically passed as
was one to the National tuberculosis
Association offering the resources
and machinery of the Washington AS
ISOLATION to it and the National
Council of Defense for the purpose of
combating and controlling tubercul-
osis in the United States Army and
Navy.
The meeting was remarkable not
only for the number of prominent
workers present from all sections of
Washington as we'll as from Oregon
and British Columbia, but also for
the able addresses.
During the meeting preliminary
plans were made for Washington s
participation in the Northwestern
tuberculosis Conference to be held
in Portland, October Is and 10Th.
] This is one of a series of sectional
conferences to be held this fall in va
rious districts of the country under
the direction of the National Tuber-
culOsis Association. Six states, Wash

STENOGRAPHERS
BADLY WANTED

The United States government
needs badly great numbers of stem
ographers and typewriters, both men
and women, for service in the de-
partments at Washington, D. c., and
and the situation in federal offices
outside of Washington is scarcely
less urgent. The supply of quail
fled persons on the Commissions
lists for this class of work is not
equal to the demand, and the Com
mission urges as a Patriotic Duty
that citizens with this special knowl-
edge apply for examination for the
government service.
At present all who pass the ex-
animation for the Departmental Ser
vice are certified for appointment
Large numbers of stenographers and
typewriters are needed for the Field
Service, and practically all men who
pass the field examination are ap-
pointed at an entrance salary of
$1,000 per annum. Many women
are required for various branches of
the Field Srevice, and recently 20
women stenographers and typewrit-
ers have been appointed in the Puget
Sound Navy Yard.
Examinations for the Departmental
Service are held every Tuesday in
AZ cities in the Eleventh District.
Examinations for the Field Service
will be held on August 18th.
For full information and applica-
ton blanks apply to Herbert F. Ward
District Secretary, 18th Civil Service
District, 303 Post Office Building,

LAWSON CASE QUASHED

TRINIDAD, Col, July Is. - The
district court has dismissed the
charge against John R. Lawson that
he murdered a mine guard during
the 1914 miners strike in the
southern Colorado fields.
The proceedings were quashed at
the request of State Attorney Gen
eral Hubbard, who said:
"This prosecution arose out of dis
turbed industrial conditions which,
happily, now have passed. A revival
of these cases would tend needless
ly to stir again to life a bitter and
vindictive feeling"
Nearly half a hundred other cases
were also dismissed, and it is pre-
dicted that several pending cases
will be treated likewise thus marking
off the court docket all charges
growing out of the miners strike.
Lawson was tried before Cranky
Hillyer, former attorney for the coal
operators, who was appointed judge
in a district created by the legisla-
ture which was openly charged at
that time with being dominated by
the operators. Under these condi-
lions Lawson was convicted of muir
der and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. His case was remanded for
retrial by the state ssopreme court
and Judge Hillyer ordered not to pre-
side at other trials of strikers.
When the present attorney general
took office he did not adopt the per-
secution policy of his predecessor.
