When the ban on speculation and
comment IL removed and Il is pos.
sible to examine the list Of deleKafea
which President Wilson has sent to
the Paris conferences, the Republicans
may discover that only officials Of ths
United States Government actively
engaged daily In working on the prob
lens which must be settled at the
conference itself have been chosen.
II there are more Democrata than
Republicans in the delegation, the
fault Is largely with the American
people who reelected q Democralic
Administration last autumn By large
popular vote, and made possible .
continuance IN offiee Of Democrats
officeholders.
American officers now In EuropO
and in charge OF American forces
naturally would candle the military
problems at the conference so the
elimination OF General Wood can bo
understood.
Colonel Roosevelts attacks on the
President have made him persona non

1dence In his Judgment never has

KNOCKOUT BLOW
PROMISED H. C.L.
At GROCERS' SHOW

To make every day Friday for the
fish, to Introduce something just as
good as turkey though not so costly.
and to bring you face to face with
gorgeous but inexpensive raiment, are
miracles to be revealed at the ma
tional food show and Industrial expo
sition of the Retail Grocers' Associa-
tion. which opens at Convention Hall
at 1880 o'clock this evening.
For the first time in history the
national food administration has
Joined hands with the Retail Grocers'
Association, and the belligerent spirit
of Uncle Sam hovers over every
booth, q real training camp, where
the thrifty housewife will be taught
to administer her final knockout to
the high cost of living.
Substitutes To Feature.
The food administration will make
its first complete exhibit of food
substituted That Thanksgiving tur-
key, for instance, might be beyond
the widest dream of avarice. Don't
worry. Uncle Sam will show you
how to prepare something just as
palatable, equally or more nourish-
ing. and you will be able to save
enough to daddy a soldier" The
food administration will also have an
exhibit of the foods which must be
conserved.
The Bureau Of Fisheries Is intro
ducing some entirely new fish as
delicacies. The shark, IL seems, has
always cherished the general public,
or the serf-bathing public. a great
deal more than he has been cherished.
No finer steak swirls than the shark
steak, the bureau contends, and the
visitor to the food show will be
shown how to prepare II and even
how to catch it. There are scores OF
other denizens OF the deep and shall
low, which, thanks to a public preJu-
dice, have multiplied an~ become
most plentiful, and these, too, will
make their officiaLbow to hungry
public tonight.
Then the style show.

the majority of profiteering and food
speculation is largely attributable to
injudicious buying and say they
can demonstrate how one may. live
quite comfortably on a reasonable ex-
penditure.
w. Gwynn Gardiner, District Com
missioner, and Clarence r. Wilson,
District food commissioner, will make
addresses at the opening tonight. The
show will be open from 2:30 to $50

P,O, CLERKS TO HAVE
Community Store
Innovation Planned to Overcome
High Cost of Living.

Steps are being taken In the Post
Office Department to organize a CO.
operative grocery store for the bene-
fit of employees of that department,
the city postoflce, and other employees
of the postal service in the city OF
Washington.
A store room for the purpose Is
available in the main Postofice De-
partment building and a managing
committee, representing the various
bureaus Of the department, has been
selected to put the plan into effect.
A circular letter to officers and en-
ployes Of the department says in part:
This plan is for the mutual beneht
of each and every employe, and 1t is
not intended that any officer or COM
mittee shall have any advantage or
privilege whatever not shared by
every other employe. There is to be
no profit to any person and no salary
is to be paid to any person except
the storekeeper, whose entire time
will be devoted to this work.
Some of the employees who have
already been consulted are deeply in
terested in this proposed plan because
they feel the actual need Of conserv-
ing our resources and saving our
money at this crucial time, and be-
cause this movement will result in
decided help to postal employees gen.

recruiting stations throughout the
country to accept enlistments for this
branch of the service.

transit and level work; craftsmen,
familiar with civil engineering work;
time-keeping, tool checking, etc. I;

smiths. blacksmith's helpers; ma
chinists, gas engine operators. re-

Gus and water-bound macadam, gaso-
line tractor and road roller operators,

offers attractive Jobs in this connec-
ton. Men accustomed to handling
and caring for horses or mules,
wheelwrights, harness makers. leath-
er workers. and in fact about every
grade of labor are needed by the gov
ernment right away, so there's no
necessity for anybody to complain
about lack OF employment so long

are embraced in this list Of require
ments would seem to indicate that

Gus grades of service enumerated

UNDERSTAND THIS
NOW! CATARRH
CAN BE RELIEVED

the throat, constant hawking and
splitting. and in certain stages of
the disease the odor from the
breath is very offensive.
Catarrh is usually worse in win
ter because of over-heated rooms
and Offices. and because the low
temperature prevents the little re-
lief that healthy sweating will give.
The poison vitiated air in stuffy
rooms is breathed over and over
in fact. the daily habits of men
and women in winter are faith
full allies of this disease. As the
blood circulates through the body,
it carries Catarrh germs into the
stomach, causing chronic dyspep-
sia; it affects the kidneys and
bladder; it weakens the general
health and causes loss of appetite.
The sufferer feels respondent and
half-sick most of the time. but the
greatest danger lies in the fact
that if the Catarrh is not checked,
the lungs may become involved,
terminating in Consumption, the
most insidious of all diseases.
Don't expect to permanently
cure Catarrh with sprays, lotions
and salves or medicated cigarette
smoking. They give only tempor-
AIRY relief. S. S. S. is the best
treatment for Catarrh, because it
goes right into the blood and as
sists it in removing the catarrhal
poison and at the same time builds
up the entire system by its fine
tonic effect. S. S. S. is a purely
vegetable remedy and not injurious
to the system. like mineral medi-
cines are.
Catarrh sufferers will find the
consulting department helpful in
advising local treatment to be
used with S. S. S. Don't hesitate
to write them. and if you have
the symptoms of Catarrh or a cold
that Is hanging on. go Immediately
to your druggist and get a bottle
of S. S. S. Swift Specific Com
pany, Drawer II. Atlanta. Georgia.

TAKE SALTS To
flush kidneys
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Backachy
or Bladder Troubles You-Salts
Is Fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels: removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, diZ-
Einess, your stomach sours, tongue
Is coated and when the weather Is
bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get up two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush on the body's urinous
waste get about four ounces of Jad
salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear. This IA
nous salts IS made from the acid
u grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder ir-
ritation. Jad Salts Is inexpensive;
harmless and makes a delightful ef-
,eryescent lithia water drink which
millions OF men and women take
1ow and then. thus avoiding serious
Kidney and bladder diseases.-Adv.
