Recruiting was practically at a stand

corded at the Armory nor the various
guard stations in the city.
The United States Marine Corps regis

navy secured two each.
The Navy Department yesterday made
public the hospital apprentice quota. the

and Now Has Insurance IN
Same Company that Re-
fused Him.

Several OF the best doctors in Wash
iHgton advised me to give UP my Job,
sell out my home and move to Colorado
if expected to live. I didn't want to
give up my job as machinist in the gov
eminent navy yard, for I was making
good money. and 1 had a nice little home
also that didn't want to sell out, and 1
tell you 1 was terribly worried as what
to do. OF course. when a fellow has 1t
put straight up to him that IL he wants
to live he had better change climates, 1t
makes a big impression on him. In ad-
dition to that I had applied to- two diff
ferent insurance companies, and both
of them turned me down for insurance
and admit it looked pretty bad for me
II had suffered a great deal from gas
ritis, headaches, nervousness, was badly
constipated, and had no appetite at all
My tongue was coated and had a bad
taste in my mouth most all the time. I
couldn't sleep much, and was in a gen.
orally run down shape. I just decided I
was going to take some of this Dreco
medicine that was being talked about so
much, and 1 am surely a luckily fellow
to have taken 1t. My constipation has
passed OF entirely. the gas never trou-
bles me, my appetite is immense. the bad
taste in my mouth and foul breath bother
me no more. go to bed OF nights and get

in every way than I have In years.
You see that didn't sell out my home
and go to Colorado, and one OF the very
same companies that refused me insJlr-
ance before is now carrying a policy on
my life.
Il think your Dreco Is a wonderful
medicine and deserves all the praise that
can be given it, This is from the signed
statement of Mr.. F. W. Lee, who resides
at Zl5 Fourteenth street southeast,
Washington, d. c.
Such words of praise from responsible
persons right here in Washington should
convince persons of the really splendid
merits of Dreco, the great herbal system

all the O'Donnell Drug Stores, by George

WHOLESALERS Divert
COAL FOR Profit
Tricks of the Trade Revealed by
State Fuel Administration.

One tangible result of the assembly
of state fuel administrators with DIR.
Garfield here, promises to point the
way to solution of one phase of the
country's coal troubles.
1t was found. upon a rigid investi-
cation that the hard coal shortage in
Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri Is due
to the fact that several wholesale
firms of Chicago and other large
cities had diverted coal from those
States to points where they would
not have to "split commissions and
that therefore the shortage in those
States had run up to an alarmingly
high point.
DR.. Garfield's aides at once prom
ised relief. The companies which
have been bringing about this short
age will be made to see the light.
Similar conditions were reported in
the bituminous field.
Another result achieved by the ses-
sion is that placing State and public
institutions and public schools in the
second classification with relation to
source of supply. In this connection
1t Is said that lighting and water
plants. whether privately or publicly
owned. may come into the second
classification depending upon whether
they serve local fields widely.
State coal administrators will go
home encouraged in the belief that
they will be able to handle the prob
lens and that with the government
behind them they can do something
now to relieve the conditions which
they feared might be increasingly
serious as the days went on.

URGED TO BUY BOND,

Hey, what are you doing going

the man who was driving the car
a little nervously. Il just came from
home after going to Center Market
for some groceries. Everybody in
the house hollered: Did you get
a Liberty Bond. did you get a

HOOVER TO CUT
PRICE OF MEAT
Jobbers and Retailers Re
sponsible for High
Mark, Tis Said.

Meat Is the next foodstufi on the
United States Food Administrations
notched stick. Within the next month
the Administration hopes to have
regulated sales and distribution and
lowered prices on meats, and mark
up another notch below -four and
sugar.
This became known last night with
the issuance Of a statement describing
work the Administration expects to
do beginning November /, when
licensing regulations go into effect.
Preliminary efforts already have been
made in the campaign to lower meat
prices. The packers have made some
slight reductions. but the jobbers and
retailers are selling at prices just as
high, or higher than ever.
The Food Administration hopes to
accomplish results on meat just as 1t
did on -four and sugar. by intensive
publicity campaigns. The licensing
will give Hoover control in large de-
gree, but chief reliance win be placed
in the education OF the buying public.
When meat buyers know what their
retail dealers pay, and what the
wholesalers pay the packers, they can
be depended on to force down the
retail figures, the Administration be-
lieves.
Put on Honest Basis
Wholesalers profits, 1t was an
nounced last night, are to be based on
wholesalers purchase prices, instead
of on market conditions at the time
they resell. In other words, business
is to be put on an honest basis OF
barter, and taken OF its long-used
gambling ground. This rule goes
into effect November 1. The state
ment follows:
1T provides that no dealers in GER
tain specified commodities shall sell
at more than a reasonable advance
over the actual purchase price of the
particular goods sold. without regard
to the market or replacement value
at the time of such sale
The commodities covered by the
rule include beef. pork and mutton,
syrup and molasses. cleaned rice and
rice flour. oleomargarine, lard and
lard substitutes, also oil. cooking fats,
condensed milk and various canned
goods and fruits.
To Make Examination.
Wholesale dealers in refined sugar
are required by a similar rule to
sell at an advance over the refiners'
list price at which he purchased such
sugar greater than the normal mar
gin charged BY the Wholesale deal
ers in refined sugar in the same To-
cality or such margin as may here
after be established by the Food Ad-
ministration.'
with regard to perishable foods,
the Food Administration announced
that it will make prompt and full
examination of any localities in which
such rises in price occur. and will
deal individually by administrative
orders with dealers charging excessive
prices.
"a general rule covering all licensed
foods provides that they shall not
be handled anywhere in the United
States on an unjust. exorbitant, un-
reasonable. discriminatory or unfair
commission, 'proft, or storage
charge"
The Food Administration emphasiz-
ed the fact that it will not expect
any dealer to forego his normal, rea-
sonable profit.

THEY SHOULD N

We desire to cali the attention OF
the Democratic newspapers IN New
Mexico to the fact that their Sen
ator A. A. Jones, voted to inilict
upon this nation a vicious press cen
sorship, and that he and other Dem
ocrats did their very best to des-
troy a free press and an honest dis
cussion of the qualifications of pub
lie men for the trusts they seek to
gain and to hold.
Before the end of the six-year
term the Democrats OF this state
will undoubtedly discover that their
senatorial representative is very
much for himself in everything he
does. and that he has the pleasant
smile and cordial handshake only
for the purpose of securing votes
when they are needed.
The Democrats OF the state are
now complaining of his securing APP
pointments for men who have done
the party no good, but if these Same
Democrats will investigate they will
find that their senator believes they
have done some good, or will do
him some good in the future.
However, this is a Democratic fun
eral, and we will not even shed a
tear. no matter if the Democrats de
eide they have been gold-bricked,
and cast out their present dol.

r GETTING HELP.

The state prohibitionists are get

that is not the only incident OF the

TEACHERS IMPROVED GREATLY

The first week of the Normal In

that many county teachers are plan

The decreasing attendance has a
significance which is most crafty
ing. As interpreted by the state de-

forces of Coifax county and of sew
eral other counties of the state, have
been rapidly improving in quality
during preceding years and are now
demanding more of the Inspiration

of the grind of the usual county IN

an examination, our county
teachers are now giving their atten-

and are therefore taking advantage
of the broader and more scientific
