PRESIDENT REJECTS
WAR BOARD CLAUSE

President Wilson today again
frowned on Congressional demands
for a Senate-House war bOar1' to

believes such a committee would re-
fleet on his conduct OF the war.
Senator Chamberlain carried this
message back to the conferees this
following a talk with the
President. As a result It appears
likely the food bill either will be held
up further in conference or this par
ticular feature of It will be sent back
to the House and Senate for Teconsid-
Grafton.
For One-sTan Control
The President also stood firm for q
one food control administration.

tiers in dispute between House and
Senate had been accomplished or was
in sight today.

agreed to forbids the use CT fruits,
cereals, or other edibles In the manu-

Mr.. Rathom, who has enough to
laugh over at the expense of Deutsch-
landuber- allies for the rest of his life,
has not shown to the world more than
one-twentieth of his mirth- provoking

less might be told just how stupid his
diplomatic representatives really were,
and how much their stupidity helped
the allies.
1t has been said that liars need long
memories; and it can safely be added
that they also need as much intelli-
gence as pet monkeys. A rogue who
pays his fellow rogues by checks on his
bank account is utterly hopeless. The

This is an organization of American service. While
millions devoted to relief in many directions the cost
of administration is small to be almost nil compared
to the scope of the undertaking There is graft

Every dollar is directed straight to the program of
mercy.
An American soldier is wounded or sick. The Red
Cross is there attend his injuries and him back
to health.
Refugees are starving The Red Cross there to pro-
vide food
Children are homeless The Red Cross there to pro-
vide shelter.
The work of the Red Cross is broadly humanitarian
deeply Christian universally charitable.
Today the Red Cross is after members to aid in
carrying this necessary labor of love and duty To join
this organization costs only dollar

Operation for Appendicitis
By JOHN B. HUBER. A. M M. D.

In some cases operation is neces.
sary at once to save life; in others
medical treatment suf1ices until the
acute symptoms are past. Then the
appendicitis becomes quiescent. But
in many cases there remains for
months or years constant pain and a
dragging feeling In that region
from adhesions that have formed.
This Is really chronic appendicitis.
In these latter cases there is always
danger of the disease recurring
acutely And 1t is then best to oper-
ate and get rid Of the trouble once
for all. A quiescent, though diseased
appendix, is just like 30 much dy-
Mantle in the system, ready to ex-
plode with dire results on the least
untoward occasion.
