LETS HAVE A REAL ONE!

Tie Federal Trade Commission is about to start an investigation of the rise in food prices. It will ask the President to approve an appro- Vrtation of S4OO,O0O for that pur- pose. It proposes to cover every side Of the food situation.
 Good! Let us hope at last We are going to have real inYestigar tiCn. The country has confidence iu he Federal Trade Commission. New lets have the facts. Let's go to the bouom-to the fundamentals an; really learn all that can be learned about the subject.
 The problem is legal and econ omic. The question of whether there are combinations in restraint of trade must be decided. That has heretofore attracted the main at teution. Now it's time to go more into the economic part-and go in to t thoroughly. Are the people being compelled to pay too much for what they buy? Nobody can answer that until he can say with reasonable approximation what it costs to produce those things.
 In some fields the trade com mission will find plenty of data. The packers, for instance, can tell it exactly what it costs them to turn out their products. Govern mont attention has encouraged ae- curate cost accounting in their case. But these fields are limited. In the biggest fields of all the work will have to be done from the ground up.

4 New Back for an Old One

The back aches at times with a dull, 'ndescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that tN stooQ is agony. No use 70 rub or apply plaster to the back F the kidneys are waek. You cannot reach the cause. Alaskan residents would do we'll to profit by the following example.
 Mrs. G. G. Fosdick, 6O15 S. Law renee St., Tacomt, Wash, says: My back was so sore and painful that If I wanted to take up anything from the floor, had to get down on my knees. There was a lump about the size of a dollar over each of my kidneys and this made my back so tender and sore that I could hardly bear to have my clothes touch me. At night l could scarcely turn in bed and mornings was 30 lame and sore that could hardly get around. These troubles were brought on by a cold settling in my kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me-"

KLUKWAN WOULD
 RETAIN REV. FAULKNER

After eighteen years of con- tinurl service as missionary at Klukwan, where Rev. Faulkner, has had charge of the Presbyterian mission work at that place,he has been transferred to the mission at Rake.
 The Natives who have learned to respect and love MT. Faulkner are 10th to lose him, and in an eff fort to have the order of transfer revoked a petition has been cir culated and now bears the sigma ture of nearly every Native residing along the bank of the Mighty Chil- kat.
 This petition has been sent to the Board of Home Missions in New York, and will be a strong protest against the removal of this popular man.
 During the time that Rev. Faulk- her mas DSSu III GndISS VI 'AS ~AS sion work at Klukwan he has done much fer the betterment of the Natives, most of whom are of the Chilkat tribe.
 An adequate water system has been installed in the native village, the Natives have been educated TO appreciate the value of sanitation to a great degree, and for the past several years they have main tained to their advantge a CO., operative store.
 Rev. Faulkner has been instru- mental in interesting the na- lives in the use of gasoline en- zines for use in their fishing boats' and he has cultivated the love of music in the hearts of his people,
 An appeal will also be made by the residents of Klukwan to the superintendent of missions for Al aska to have MT. Faulkner retain ed.

Keokuk owners of automobiles are
instructed to make application before
January 1 to register their machines
in the office OF the secretary Of state

DAY;
REMEMBER 1T?
Sloan Has Been Suggested for This
Day by keokuk Men; Com
plant Made Against
Eating Houses.

Corn has put the "eat" in wheat
less"
This is the suggestion of a local
man and might be good slogan lot
the local restaurants to adopt and
display In their dining rooms.
To-day was wheatless day. and
a travelling man was complaining
that it was not wheatless in
some OF the places where he had
been. He said wheat bread was being
served in some OF the restaurants
and that wheat cakes were on the
menu. IF his claims are substantial
ed, some of these places are due for
a calling down by the food admins
tration.
Housewives generally are observ-
ing both wheatless and meatless
DAYS. but their observance would be
greatly miniu1ized if restaurants and
eating houses were not observing the
wheatless and meatless regulations.

make a wise and discriminate use OF
legitimate political methods, which
are open and above board, and which
mean elimination of secret diplomacy.
"At present" he continued, "the
allies are negotiating with the kaiser's
servants. All the speeches made by
the German chancellor and replied to
by allied statesmen constitute the
employment Of open political means
to bring about settlement OF the
war. 1t is game of skilled diplom
acy, but one Of the chief faults is
that the allies are playing it with a
minister who is solely responsible
to the kaiser.
"To my mind the most satisfactory
channel of communication available
is provided by the German socialists
and particularly by the minority so
cialists. Personally I would much
rather consult with German minor
ity socialist during the war than with
an official of an autocratic German
government after the war.
"If we really desire to see a demo
cratic Germany we should do all in
our power to strengthen the demo
cratic elements in Germany. II we
intend that peace when 1t comes.

Easy Way to Stop
Waste Of Foo d

Do you know that rats destroy and
spoil over two hundred million dol
lars worth of foodstuffs every year?
This fact being known, why delay Wig
orously using reliable method OF
Kidding our homes, stores and ware
houses of these wasteful pests? PROB
ably there is no easier nor more eff
fective method of discriminating rats
than Stearns' Paste, a scientific pro-
duct that has been used successfully
by the U. s. Government in its diff
ferent campaigns against the rat. A
small box, costing only 35 cents.
will usually completely free the houss
of rats and mice. 1t will also effec-
tually destroy cockroaches and water

and the adjoining fields was under
martial law today. Soldiers were
patrolling the streets. Several were
painfully injured in the clash, one
man having his hand smashed. A

not be verified. The riot was quelled
by the appearance Of troops on guard

Although United States soldiers

martial law has been instituted since

Defense Counsel Harry A. Utterhart
declared the prospect of seeing her
child Jack after court adjourns to-
night, had made a marked change in
Mrs. DeSaulles. The sister, Amalio
looked even sadder and more wary
than Mrs. DeSaulles, until the ques-

for murder lapsed into her old list

Chilean was perfectly sane when she
did the killing.
Every juror in the box has answered
Eyes" to the following question:
"If when you retire to the jury room
you have reasonable doubt as to the
sanity as to this defendant on the
night Of August 8, will you acquit?"
Thus Utterhart believes he has only

her.

tonight, Mrs. DeSaulles will meet her
child, Jack, five, for a two hour visit

be permitted two visits a week until

threatened to start habeas corpus pro

the effects of the heart attack she ex-
perienced in court. She may reappear
