HURRY BILL, SAYS PRESIDENT.
Wants Government Control of Food Sup
ply as Soon as Possible.

Washington, June S.-President Wilson
yesterday asked members of the Senate
agriculture committee to act quickly on
the pending legislation to give the gov
eminent control over the nations staple
food supply. He expressed the fear that
if Congress delayed, European nations
largely dependent on American supplies
might begin to compete with each other
in buying here in such fashion as to send
prices in the United States TO alarming
heights and bring about unrest in the
great cities.
The president urged also passage Of
the administration bill under which rail-
roads could be compelled to give prefer
ence to food and fuel shipments.
Both Democratic and Republican mem
bers of the committee were called in by
the president and his statements are said
to have made decided impression. 1t
was emphasized that the farmer has
lures of the legislation and that the only
person who might suffer is the specula-
tor.
Senators Chamberlain, Walsh, Smith of
South Carolina, Sheppard and King,
Democrats, and Warren and Page, Re-
publieans, were among those the presi-
dent consulted His decision to call them
to the White House is understood to
have been result of his visit to Senator
Martin, majority leader, at the capitol
earlier in the week and to be in conformi
ty with his intention to confer more fire.

A Bad Back
Made Good
(By L. w. Bower, M. d.

Backache of any kind is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that
the kidneys are not working properly.
Poisonous matter and uric acid accumu-
late within the body in great abundance,
overworking the sick kidneys, hence the
congestion of blood causes backache in
the same manner as a similar congestion
in the head causes headache. You be-
come nervous, respondent, sick, feverish,
irritable, have spots appearing before the
eyes, bags under the lids, and lack OF
ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means OF
overcoming this trouble is to eat spar
ingly Of meat, drink plenty OF water be-
tween meals and take a single Anuric
tablet before each meal for a while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for
Anuric double strength if you aren't
feeling up to the standard. If you have
lumbago, rheumatism, dropsy, begin i'm
mediately this treatment with Anuric.
Most scientists and medical men believe
that because of an over abundance OF
uric acid in the system, uratic salts are
deposited in the tissues and cause rheu-
matism and govt.
The physicians and specialists at DR..
Pierce's Institution in Buffalo, N. ", !
have thoroughly tested Anuric and have
been with one accord successful in eradi |
eating and throwing off from the system |
the uric acid which accumulates and poi |
sons. Patients having once used Anuric |
at this institution have repeatedly sent
back for more.
Such a demand has been created that
Doctor Pierce decided to put Anuric in
the drug stores of this country, in a
ready-to-use form. 1t will be their own
fault If those suffering from uric acid
troubles do not take advantage of this
remedy.--Adv.

How One Man Settled His Labor Problem

When Matthew c. Brush, president of
the Boston Elevated railroad, found his
men were getting restless, he settled the
trouble in characteristic fashion. In the
June American Magazine Alfred Grun-
berg says:
Constant argument did not appeal TO
Brush 1t was not his way of doing
business He buckled up his belt and
plunged into the muddle. His first move
was to call w. D. Mahon, head of the
national csrmen's union, into his Office
and lock the door.
"'Now, Mahon,' he said. drawing up a
chair and leaning forward with his
friendly smile, were here in my office
The doors are locked. There are no ste
nographers concealed anywhere No die
tographs. No one TO listen. The cur
tans are drawn. We're here alone. But
before we can do anything I've got to
know you and you've got TO know me.
You tell me all about yourself, and I'll
tell you who am and what I've done
"And thus the labor leader and the
frank, friendly railroad official drew back
the curtains of reticence and suspicion
and showed each other the goods that
were within them. Mahon saw Brush
the newsboy. and Brush, the apprentice.
as well as Brush the vice president.
Brush saw Mahon as a fellow man whose
heart was bound up in the welfare of
labor.
"'Mahon found out that was square,
Brush said sfterward, and I found out
that he was square. He was open and
honest; so was |. We were both con-
WINGED that neither one was trying to
play tricks on the other
For 10 hours the two men, behind
locked doors, debated the complex prob
lens, each jealous for the interests he
At the end of that time the
labor leader walked out with a mutual
agreement in his hand Not only was
this agreement satisfactory to the com
pany, but unions have called il one Of I
the finest documents of its kind ever
drawn up"

Petrograd June S.--Publication OF
President Wilson's message to new Rus

sia's other allies, the foreign minister
announced.
The American executives communi-
cation, il was explained, crossed" re-
quest from Russia for exactly the sort

The Russian foreign office stated yes
terday that President Wilson's message,

tail every one OF the questions which
Russia had propounded Officials here
were amazed at the accurate fashion in
which President Wilson had sensed Rus
sian sentiment.
The Russian !, Jrkmen's and soldiers

an early peace, whether that end be
achieved through fighting forces sent to
the front or through financial, industrial
or other aid.

Gratis, ! would say you can least help
Russia and thereby the democratization
of the world which is now impending by
bringing pressure on all governments of
the world to end the war as soon as pos
sible," he said.
"Will it help Russia if American guns
are sent to Europe to fight Germany"
he was asked.
"Send an army only if you think it
will hasten the end of the war-you
must decide yourself as to the method
in which you can best help.
"The revolution is the center OF every
thing to us. We look upon everything
in the world from the viewpoint OF the
revolution, because the revolution has
an International meaning. 1t will help
the progress OF all the people in the
world.

world because it happened in war time.
Now, in order to save the impending |
blessings which the revolution assured |
to our downtrodden people the war must
