SENATOR SMITHS VOCATIONAL
BILL HAS PASSED UPPER HOUSE
Provides Training for Disabled Fight
ers, and Carries Appropriation
of Six Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Today
Senator Hoke Smith, as chairman of
education committee, put through the
senate finally his bill providing for
vocational training of disabled SOL
diers and sailors. The senate accept
ed the slight amendment written in
to the bill when it passed the house.
1t carries an initial appropriation of
six million dollars and is regarded
as a bill surpassed only by the war
risk insurance act in its ample pro-
visions for the welfare of the fighting
men. The bill provides that men dis
abled in the war and entitled to COM
pensation under the war risk insur-
ance act who, in the opinion of the
federal board for vocational educa-
ton, are unable without vocational
education to carry on successfully
again full occupation shall be voca-
tionally retained at the expense of
the federal government for such en-
ployment as they may be capable of
learning.
A soldier is free to accept or re-
ject the training, but having elected
to take the training his allowance
may be reduced or withheld if he will
fully refused to continue it. This
will not affect the family allowance.

Killed by POisOns

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated bv
the kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
as kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed or de-
generated, by disease or old age, then
these poisons are retained in the BODY.
Ii we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for long life, DIR. Pierce of
the lnvalids' Hotel Buffalo, N. Y, saws
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys,
Then procure at your nearest drug store
Anuric. This Anuric drives the uric acid
out. Scientific men have learned that in
govt, also rheumatism, poisonous uric
acid crystals are deposited in or about
the joints, in the muscles - where in
Summation is set up.
Ii we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a days is
the most suitable. Drink plenty of Dure
water, take Anuric three Jimes a day for
O. month. An-u-ric is many times more
potent than lithia and dissolyes uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
You can obtain trial pkg. of Anuric

RATTLESNAKES ARE KILLING
THOUSANDS LAMBS IN WEST

Rattlers, always plentiful in parts
of Washington state, are this year
more numerous than in any previous
season. Sheepmen are forcibly re-
minded of the fact by the loss of
lambs. Older sheep know the menace
CT the tattoo of the rattlesnake, and
will change their course at the
sound, but the lambs are. often bit
ten. There is nothing that can be
done for the relief of a lamb which
has been bitten. 1t dies in a little
while.

SCRAWNY CALVES.

What makes a calf scrawny-off
its feed? Germs-parasites-in the
intestines. Why not free them of
this trouble? If you will give the
calf some B. A. Thomas Stock Rem
edy in its feed, within a week you
will see it brighten up and in four
or five weeks you won't know the
calf. Costs you but few cents and
we will refund that if it doesn't do
as we say. WALL BROTHERS.

COUNCIL TAKES Up
CURB MART PRICES
Committee to be Named to Co
operate With Non Partisan
League in Fight.

Food profteering in the King and
Madison streets curb markets and othcl
places in the city was taken up last mig hi
by City Council, ON receipt OF letter
from the Voters Non-Pnrtisan League,
voicing the determination of that body to
wage war against the high price of food
stuffs here and asking Council to join
hands W tn tho League in the fight.
The gist of the communicates WINS III
this paragraph.
1--WE would therefore, suggest that
your honorable body create and appoint
committee of Council, or private cit
liens, to inquire into this market Ft-
uation and ascertain the relative prices
of fruits, vegetables and market ediblcs
in other cities as compared with the
prices charged for tho snme products
in the Wilmington markets, and to mako
a most searching and exhaustive invest
igstion covering the entire market st-
uation and report the same to tho Food
Administration at Washington.
I'VE would also suggest that whlo
this investigation. is IN progress thas
officials in Washington be consulted and
asked that the Food Administrator of
Delaware be empowered and requested
to formulate a set of prices governing all
market products based on their intrinsic
value and not on the spurious values Of
the unscrup,ilous profiteers.
Following the reading Of this lcttr
it was ordered received and President OF
Council George T. Lyon wns empowered
to appoint a committee to co-Opcrsts
with the League.
This committee WAS not named hast

Lyon stated that he proposed TO place

PHIL LADELPH|ANS
PAY CITY A VISIT
Battalion of Real Estate Men, 200
Strong, Come to See What
We're Doing Here.

Something like 200 real estate men
members of the Philsdelphia Real Estate
Board, paid visit to this city yesterday
Object: To see what we'rc doing in theil
line. They were only here few hours,
but they saw a lot, had a whacking good
time despite their coming on short notice,
and went back marveling at the hustle
and hustle of business here.
Grected at the Fourth street wharf by
= committee representing the Chamber
Of Commerce, headed by Alfred B. Moore,
chairman of the real estate section, the
visitors were taken around the city IN SIN
special cars. On their trip they viewed
the powder mills on the Brandywine, the
building project at Wawaset Park and
were astoni.hed at the improved APP
pearance of the city, which, as some of
them said, is thought of as city with
less than 100000 population. When
told that the population has risen to APP
proximately 10000 and the various war
industries located in and about here, they
were quite amazed.
Not only did the rather jolly aggre-
CATION of real estate brokers take in
the city's sights, but closed the day S
activities with dinner AT Hanna's,
which followed their trip around the
city. Mayor Lawson welcomed the
visitors on behalf of the city and re
minded his hearers that Delaware and
Pennsylvania, and therefore Philadelphia
and Wilmington, were joined with ties
Of warm friendship since the time that
William Penn first landed at New Castle,
later continuing 10 Philadelphia. He
then extended q standing invitation to
the visitors from the Quaker City to come
here frequently.
In response to the mayors welcome,
Hibberd b. Worrell, president of the Real
Estate Board. thanked the mayor, the
Chamber of Commerce and the committee
In charge for their. hearty welcome. In
the course of his remarks he pointed out
Wilmington's popularity among the
Philadelphia real estate brokers.
IF We had had another day TO pre-
pare for the trip he said. "the boat
would not have been big enough TO
bring lis here"
But what was the inspiring part Of
the gathering Was the address delivered
by John s Rossell. who was introduced
by the chairman as the man who raised
twenty-six million for the United States
government in the struggle.
After alluding humorouslv to the fact
that he borrowed so much money from
the people of Delaware and that he is
so heavily involved that he knows of but
one way Of getting ont of his debts and
that is to get into the real estate business,
Mr.. Roesell paid his tributes TO the people
of Delaware, who he said, ere solely
responsible for the successful Liberty
Loan drive
Alfred B. Moore put the finishing
touches on the program when he said
that it was s pretty tough proposition
to entertain a bunch of good fellows.
such as the PhIladelphia men were, in SO
sudden fashion.
At the speakers table were Hibberd
