To Save U. S. Tonnage Ban Is
Placed on Many Articles
Considered Unnecessary.
WAR TRADE BOARD ACTS
Prohibition On Eighty-Two Articles
Expected To Add 100000 Tons
To Fleet To Garry Men and
Munitions Abroad.

Washington, March 25.-The first
tst Of imports to be prohibited en-
trance into this country in an effort
to conserve tonnage for prosecuting
the war has been made public by the
War Trade board under authority of
President Wilson's proclamation of
February IA, which put all imports
under license.
By denying permits for the impor-
tation Of certain metals, foodstuffs
and Injuries which can be obtained
here or a be sacrificed to the
greater need Of putting ships into
var business, the board expects to add
100000 dead weight tons to the
fleet carrying men and munitions to
Europe.
This list of SO articles or classes
of articles, constitutes only those
least essential, concerning which
there was little argument. Lists to
follow will touch various interests
more closely and will not be issued
until after consultation with the
trades affected, so that there will be
a minimum Reorganization and loss.
The experience of the Allies has been
utilized in devising the system Of re-
strictions.
In discussing the list, officials
stressed the fact that It was aimed at
no country, but touched all alike
which exported any of these articles
to America.
Some Won't Be Noticed.
Some of the prohibitions scarcely
will be noticed by anyone in this
country, as they affect imports Of
which only a small percentage come
from overseas.
Pyrites constitutes the largest sim
gle item on the list, contributing
100000 to the total tonnage. Only
those foodstuffs we're listed which
can be dispensed with and in many
cases retained more advantageously
in the country Of origin, obviating
a further drain on tonnage to trans
port substitutes.
Breadstuffs, except wheat and
-four; all fruits, except bananas and
%pineapples; all nuts and all vege-
tables except lentils, beans and peas,
are on the list. Luxuries which the
public must forego include jewelry,
art works, dice, billiard balls, poker
chips. musical instruments, perfum-
cry and feathers.

MAY VETO $3.50 WHEAT BILL
indications Strong That President
o. VIII Refuse Signature.

WI nVtueC os6Uae6FVs
Washington, March eSS.-iniications
are very strong that President VIII
son will veto the Gore amendment
passed by the Senate, raising the
price OF wheat to $3.50 to the farmer,
instead of 1920 a bushel at termin-
ais, recently set by Presidential pro-
clamation.
Administration officials expressed
the belief that the President may send
q letter to the conference committee
that will result in killing It.
A price OF $3.50 to the farmer, food
administration officials said. would
mean shca. ss75 at terminals. This
would add about SO a barrel to the re.
tail price on -four.
Food officials declare that giving
the higher price would p%recipitate
a wheat famine and greatly imperial
the Allies supply, inasmuch as farm
ers naturally would hold on to what
Is left OF the 1917 crop in order to
get the higher figure.

PRICE TO FEEDERS
Has Been Endeavor of Meat
Division Says Packer.
Declares That Letter Written BY
Durand to Packers Was Without
Authority.

Washington, March 23.-J. P. Cot
ton, head of the meat division of the
food administration, told the senate
agricultural committee that a letter
to the Cudahy Packing company
from E. Dana Durand, formerly head
of the economics department of the
University Of Minnesota, Jan. Is, was
written without his authority.
Mr.. Cotton said il had been his en-
deavor to pay a fair price to cattle
feeders.
Stock ~raisers before the committee
charged that Durand, as representa-
tive of the food administration, pur-
chasing meat for the Allies, arranged
with packers to limit he price of
meat at a time when large purchases
were being made for the Allies.
Durand said lie told the packers that
the large order to the British govern
ment could not be placed except at
existing prices, but that the state
ment attributed to him that prices
must be kept down was a misrep-
resentation."
The committee questioned Durand
regarding his association with the
packers before his connection with
the food administration.
He replied that he had a great deal
to do with writing a report on the
packing industry. which absclved the
industry from charges made in a con-
gressional resolution.

I'M THE SPRING

struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it Is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One OF the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in a bad state of health i'm
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the, past four or
hye months penned up within the walls

is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps oyer-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the 'clinkers," and our FIRE does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There Is nothing better for health than
