Why?

When you do not relish your food Il
is well to inquire the reason why.
Your stomach may be debilitated, your
liver torpid, your bowels constipated
or you may be eating too much.
Many people eat more than they
should, particularly those of middle
age or older, and those of sedentary
habits. If your lack of appetite or
relish for your food arises from eitl or
of these causes, correct your habits
and take a few doses of Chamberlain's
Tablets. They will do you good, give
you a better appetite and make you
feel better, - Adv.

SHORTAGE OF SUGAR
TO LACK OF CARS
Denies Fixing Price of Beet Sugar, But
Admits Attending Conference
on the Matter.

Washington, Dec 20.--Car shortage
and not attempts of rctiners to manipu-
late supplies or prices were attributed
as largely the cause of the sugar short
age by Earl ID, Babst, president of the
American Sugar Refining company, ties.
tifying yesterday before the Senate in
vestigating committee. He refuted testi-
mony of Claus A. Spreckels that George
NJ. Rolph, general manager of the Cali
fornia Hawaiian company and director Of
the sugar division of the food admins
tration declined TO allow supplies to
come east from his own refinery at
time Spreckels was threatened with be-
ing forced to close his plant, by saying
that Rolph and another refiner offered
to let Spreckels have $4,000 tons at the
basic price set for Cuban sugar by the
committee.
Babst denied he had anything to do
with fixing the price of beet sugars and
that he had any connection with setting
the price for Louisiana sugar He ad
mitted, a. Spreckes charged, that he at
tended conferences with the Louisiana
planters and members of the food adj
in Washington, but said
That when prices were discussed he with
drew from the conference.

PREP AREDNESS OF
RED GROSS SURPRISES
DIR. CUSHING

DIR, Harvey Gushing of the Harvard
medical school, now Major Gushing OF
the United States army, in letter
speaks as follows of Red Cross prepared
ness in France:
Il cannot tell You how cheered | was
when ] found how well organized the
Red Cross was in Paris and what great
start you had made.
when an American officer could ac-
tually walk into the warehouse you had
taken over and find Squibb's and Nal
linckrodt's ether, bath robes, adhesive
plaster, aspirin, surgical instruments,
kerosene lamps, canvas aprons, aspirat
ing needles and many other things which
our camps happen to need ] for the first
time began to realize what the Red Cross
might be able to do for waits like our.
selves over here.
1T all goes to show what an enormous
ly important part the Red Cross will un-
doubtedly come to play as more people
come over and our affairs overseas get
more and more complicated
PROFESSIONALLY countless emergencies
will arise and sudden calls such as ours
will be made for odd and divers things
and | hope that we may see huge store
houses established under you where those
in need can get the supplies which are
absolutely essential to the work--wheth-
err it be an automobile or a hypodermic
needle
Certainly the people at home will sub
scribe with their accustomed liberality
to an organization of this kind and you
will do as much toward winning the war
as the men who carry the rifles"

Rome. Dec 20--A rumor that the pope
is preparing another appeal for peace is
denied at the Vatican, where it is admit
ted, however, that since the denials that
the Holy See is implicated in any way in
the Caillaux scandals are apparently in
sufficient public statement or document
may be decided upon before long explain
ing that the pope's peace efforts are not
connected with the propaganda for sep
arate peace, which are not approved by
the pontifi, since such peace would pro-
long instead of shorten the war.
Evidence of the pope's disapproval is
afforded by the failure of the Vatican TO
recognize the present Russian govern
ment.

N. Y. LOSES HETTY GREEN TAX.
Surrogate Rules Against Comptroller 4
Second Time.

New York, Dec. 20.--A ruling by Sur
rogate Fowler Tuesday practically
disposes of the possibility that New York
state can collect an inheritance tax on
the estate of Hetty Green estimated as
the largest ever held by woman. Mrs
Green claimed legal residence in Yer
mont, but transacted much business in
New York, where she maintained her of
flee and spent much of her time.
On a motion by the state comptroller
to the surrogate's office this question of
residence was investigated, and Surro-
gate Fowler decided that the decedent
was actually resident of Vermont
Since then the comptroller attempted to
have the appraisers statements recon
sidered and a tax granted to the state
on the ground that Mrs. Green was a
nonresident doing business in this state
This was denied Tuesday

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET DULL, IRREGULAR Trading Centered Around Leaders in the Railway and industrial Groups.

= New York, Dec. 3.-In the, absence of definite or specific developments over the weekend. the extreme las situde of today's stock market was at tomorrow. Indications that war ap- propriations by the nations law making body are to assume record breaking proportions sufhced to limit operations to the meagre total or 275, 900 shares.
 Trading centered around less than a score of leaders in the railway and 1n- dustrial groups. The latter were lr- regular with occasional spells of steadiness, but rails, Jagged coalers and Paciflcs yielding one to- almost two points.
 New low records were made by St. Paul preferred at 12 3-4 ana onlon Pacific preferred at 70. Pennsyl- vania was freely offered in large lots down to 45, repeating it's recent mini mum and numerous other rails came within fractional approach of their lowest quotations. '<~f
 Prominent steels, coppers and the more distinctive war issues reacted dsope to almost three points. Pullman dropped four points and General Mot ors and Studebaker 1 1-2 to points. Many hitherto active rails and equip ments remained unquoted throughout the session
 The irregular strength of Marine preferred, Maxwell Motors, Central Leather anu fddI~eSteT was IIaScaOiS to the operations of pools. U. $. Steel registered a net loss of three quarters of point at 91 -3-S and Bethlehem Steel "Bn forfeited over two pofnts~at 76 5-S.
 Additional October earnings of railroads were again adverse, New York Central showing a net loss of $1, 363 900 and St Paul $1,222,000. r Bonds were heavy on restricted dealings. Liberty As changed hands at 97.7O to e7.82 and the 3 1-2s at 9S.90 to 99. Fotal sales (par value) aggregated $3,225,o0
 U. S. bonds, old issues, were un- changed on call.

was subjected to no little criticism fo1 its stand on the question of eligibility The rule that barred freshmen from competition met with no great favor at the Providence university, the con tention being that bona fide students of any class should be eligible to com pete. The only restriction which Brown cared to place on a student was that he maintain certain stan dard of class room efficiency.
 The football season just ended brings prominently to the fore just how closely Brown clings to it's eligi- hility rules. Fritz Pollard, the negro sensa ton of 1916 football in this sec ton, still is enrolled at Brown and his addition to the football squad would have meant much to the prestige o1 the university in sports, Likewise would have added much at the gate But Pollard fell so far behind in his studies that lie was barred from com petition, word to this effect coming out before the football season opened. Un- der the unusual conditions affecting I foot ball this year it would have been fairly easy for the authorities al Brown 70 raise the ban and allow this spec ta cular player to gain more fame foI his college and himself. likewise aid financially in a somewhat disa strous season.
 Pollard was not prevented from playing football. He was able to get out in some Of tine practice sessions and help in the development of the eleven, but the rule that he could not play in any of the games was ob- served strictly all through the season It must have been a temptation, I1av- ing such star in the college and in good physical condition, and yet re- fusing to let him take part in games when his presence would mean Sc much to Brown. The question o1 race did not enter into the case at all Pollard was Iionized at Rrown a year ago, and his presence was much de sired on this years eleven, but the standard which Brown had chosen to follow was regarded as more impor- tant than any athletic star.
