With ceremonies fitting the oc-
casion, the task of constructing the
Billy Sunday tabernacle, in which the
famous evangelist plans to conduct
the series OF revivals in the National
Capital, beginning the night of Janu-
airy ), 1918, will begin at 12:l5 this

of the building will be sufficient to
seat 1900 people, which is two and a
half times the capacity of Convention
Hall. the largest building OF the sort
in the city with which this great tab
ernacle may be compared. The plat
form to be occupied by the choir will
provide room for e,5OO persons.
Some of the special features will be

clans in attendance; a private post
office, where cards of the "trail-hit-
ters" will be placed; a lost and found
room, an ushers' room, a secretaries

SENATOR G. W.N0RRIS
To SEEK SEAT again
Denies Rumor that He Will Retire
at End Of Present Term.

Announcement made by Senator
George w. Morris that he will make
the race for reelection in Nebra ska,
and that he never had any other
idea about it, means that from now
on Republicans are likely to make
an effort there to bring out a candi-
date TO oppose him.
1t has been thought by some Re-
publican leaders in Nebraska that
Norris really wouldn't make the
race. They gave credence to stories
that he would retire at the end of
his term to go to New York, where
it has been rumored for some time
past that he had an opportunity to
join a law firm.
Senator Norris has been side by side
with Senator La Follete in most of
the fights the latter has made. Sem
ator Norris did not take the stump
to assail the administration course
after war was declared, but he has
been forced to defend himself for
voting against the armed neutrality
bill. He was one of the "willful
twelve who prevented the enact
ment of that legislat ton.
In a speech in Nebraska Senator
Norris is said TO have insisted that
this country was going into the war
only to appease the appetities of
blood-hungry profiteers of Wall Street,
and the like.

RIDICULES VEGETABLE
POISONING STORIES

Danger OF poisoning from vegetables
preserved by the cold pack method is
a war time nightmare which has no
place outside enemy propaganda. de-
clared Charles Lathrop Pack, presi-
dent of the National Emergency Food
Garden Commission, today. IN news
papers recently have appeared state
ments that the danger is prevalent
and that all susceptible foods which
have been prepared by this method
should be regarded with suspicion.
THE National Emergency Food
Garden Commission has made a care
full research on this subject" said Mr..
Pack, ''end finds that poisoning from
vegetables prepared by the coid pack
method is less than the danger OF
lockjaw from pin scratches.
The one essential is that no canned
goods be eaten which show visible
signs OF spoilage. When there is doubt
the safest plan is to throw the can
away"
