last 10 days has caused great oeal or apprehension and disturbance the ex- tent of which fortunately, has not at tracted public opinion, because the war news has so greatly overshaoowed II. Developments incident to the cancelia- tions referred to indicate the dlthcuiues we will have to face unless the transi- ton is gradual and the vast labor and financial interests involved are most care fully safeguarded.
 ADJUSTMENT POSSIBLE
 ''It seems to us that it is possible to work out ertain common principles which should obtain in all government depart ments in affecting settlements on con tracts now to be stopped and adjusting them on fair basis. If one bureau or department follows it's own ideas. an- other pursues different course, it seems that 1t will lead to endless contro- versy and confusion. For this reason, we believe the agencies set up in the various bureaus and departments to deal with the question should be controlled by some common authority.
 Pending the development of an ade- quate administration, we earnestly hope that a clearance committee may be ap- pointed at once to which will be referred all proposals to cancel contracts with instructions to all departments that can cellations shall not be made without the approval of this committee, in order that raw materials which will be released by the stoppage of war production may be allocated to industries able to use them immediately for peace-time needs. We are of the opinion that war contracts should not be cancelled until provision is made for the absorption of these raw materials
 The Chamber of Commerce also has recommended to the President the estab- lishment of an advisory reconstruction commission similar to that he now con siders appointing.
 Whatever machinery is created for su- pervising the transition. it is considered certain that the government proposes to maintain centralized control and to exercise very positive supervision over business interests during the change

WHY CATARRH

puscles to do--not enough to do it They need help. N
 Placing salves and lotions in the nose and taking pills, powders anc purgatives will not give nature what she needs. She changes the chemi- cal nature of many drugs that we take, according to our body's ccndi- tion. She will not change those things she lacks and needs. Certain vegetable matter taken into the sys- tenn gives nature her tools. Armed with the power to protect herself and heal herself, nature gladly hurries the new vegetable reinforcement to the injured parts, and we at once feel as though a great strain had lefted from us.
 Nature, during winter, changes the blood of man and we, becausc of our habits, continue to do those things which are against nature. Then far down amid the vital organs of man. creep weaknesses and lack of proper functioning. Here is where Catarrb enters and quickly makes conouest We feel the effect of cold in noss or throat, and sometimes in lunos and stomach. s. s. s. is a friend = nature, a companion to health. and the body responds to it's influence ;n way that will surprise you.

CONSIDERING PLANS

Government authorities having charge of the placing of war contracts are con sidering a plan for diverting raw mate rials from war industries where. they can be used at once for. reconstruction. War orders will not be cancelled in a whole sale way until such plan is developed, it is believed.
 In this connection, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States today made public letter to President Wilson citing evidence of anxiety among busi- ness men over the governments future course, suggesting a development of uni form policies for all departments.

Oliver Comes Home for a Brief Vacation, Believing Warrior Project

Washington, November 13.- Especially Birmingham shippers have entered vio- lent protest against the order of local railroad authorities closing offices for the receipt of freight at instead of o'clock at at present. This order will be effective November IS.
 The point is made that as offices in competitive cities receive freight as late as o'clock Birmingham will be discriminated against in a business way. The protests were sent by a dozen shippers to Director General Me Adoo and the Alabama senators.

THINK WARRIOR PROJECT SAFE

Washington, November 13.-(Special.) Convinced that the Warrior project is safe, Representative Oliver is en route to Tuscaloosa, his home. for a few days vacation. He and Senator Underwood had just had a very satisfactory inter- view with W. G. McAdoo, director gem eral of railroads, and Mir. Oliver sub |sequently stated that the director gen. eral proceeding on the fine report of
 Dr, G. A. Tomlinson would act in dis
 posing of the Warrior case just as soon as possible.
 Mir. McAdoo was reported as being
 entirely in accord with the Tomlinson recommendation that s1,750,o00 be ex- pended for equipment in addition to that purchased from the DeBardeleben and Pratt Consolidated interests.

 Interests
PRESIDENT OPPOSES PROPOSED PROGRAM
 FIXED BY CONGRESS
Immediate Problem Is How to Cut War Production Without Throwing Men Out of Work or Causing
 Financial Strain

Washington, November 13. President Wilson has under consideration the appointment of a reconstruction commission to develop comprehensive pro- gramme for the nations con- version from a war to peace basis. The commission would be advisory rather than ex- ecutive in functions, and the plans developed and co-ordi- mated by it would be carried out by existing government departments, and agencies.
 As now considered, the commission would be representative of commercial, industrial labor, agricultural and social interest; it's membership would be small and it would deal with all phases of the great problem of easing the country from war to peace.
 luo TIeSlueuL IS uHueTSIOOQ to Dc 0lS- tinctly opposed to the suggested plan of having a congressional committee pre- pare a reconstruction program. He is said to prefer men who have made spe- cial studies of economic and social prob lems. The President is said now to be considering what emergency legislation may be necessary before the govern ment can proceed systematically to turn all resources of the country to peace time production.
 How to shut off further war production without closing plants, throwing men out of work and causing financial strain, is the most immediate reconstruction prob telegrams of inquiry reaching govern ment departments today disclosed anxie- ty of business men over this question, and offered a multitude of suggestions for dealing with it.

What little I travel and drive car
I am fully convinced Of two things,
and every time I go I am more fully
persuaded of the truth that there are
two predominating characteristics OF
the present age. One of them is a
supreme and overweeming selfish
ness. and the other is the supreme
love of money. AS I heard a prom
inent speaker say on one occasion,
it takes the gathering around an open
grave of a friend to create Or arouse
the feeling of fellowship or Of COM
radeship, and it is too late then 20
be of any service to the fellow-being
that is being laid in his last resting
place so far as human agency goes.
AS a rule one is impressed with the
fact as he drives the road, that the
majority of those who drive have ab-
solutely no regard for the rights Of
the other fellow. They are looking
!
out only for their noble selves, and
they do not seem to care whether they
run you in the ditch Or up a tree
There was time when cars first
came along that if one car met an
other which had trouble it would stop
and offer, assistance, but not now,
except, in rare cases, there is no time,
the world is in too big a hurry, and
when it is all over, though these fell
lows who are rushing may have ac-
cumulated the riches of a Croesus, Or
gained the power of an Alexander,
they will have no more than the poor
fellow who had Or took time to lend
helping hand to fellow-being. In
fact, they will be much poorer in all
that really counts in the day of reck-
onino. Not that I needed any help.
/. but I did feel sometimes that even III
was entitled to a little part of the
road, when I would meet one of those
big guys in big car, but not so. I
got out to one side and let them have
the road, and they went on just like
/ was simply doing my duty, to get
out of the way, or they would run
right on over rme. Sometimes I am
almost persuaded that this world war
and the pestilence or epidemic Of in
fluenza was sent by divine provi~
dence to warn the people of the earth
that if they undertook to build another
tower of Babylon there would be a
confusion of tongues, or something
worse. In other words, to remind
them that they were going too fast,
end that they should remember that
there lis a. God who rules in his holv
temple, and that they should stop and
think and consider that this world
was but temporary abiding place
and that selfshness and greed for
! wealth was not the main purpose Of
life.
About II miles out from Columbia
saw a man in front of me waving
white flag and standing in the mid
del Of the road. I had heard of rural
policemen taking up cars for speed
ing along this road when it was a
road, but knew could not be charged
! with speeding even on good road, and
any one who has any regard for his
car can not speed on this road, so I
did not know what it meant. But l
slowed down and an old man asked
me if I would take him into town. 1
told him with pleasure I would do so,
if I got there myself. 1t turned out
to be Mr.. Geo. C. Haltiwanger "a first
cousin of my mother. He is now 81

two miles to get a car into the city
instead of going on the train. l was
glad to have him and would have

back He is a very interesting talker
and very active for his years. And
he seems to be something o. philos-
opher and student of men aud pretty
well acquainted with the public men
of the day and familiar with their
records In discussing some of tha
public men of the day he said you
know some of them have not got any
pedigree, and that it was important
for men to have the right sort of ped
igree if they they were to be trusted
and to last in the public service and
to accomplish anything that is worth
while. Well that was new way 20
put it.
When you to come to think about
il seriously there is something in the
argument of the necessity of the
right sort of pedigree in men
as we'll as in horses and dogs. Had
YOU ever thought about it? I had
never had it put just as lie expressed
it. but there is something in the idea,
Pedigree is a good thing if it is tho
right sort of pedigree, and yet If a
! man tries to make something of him
self why should he not be encouraged
even if his pedigree is not registered?
! He can not help what it is, and IN

has an equal chance with every other
man. and every tub must stand on its
own bottom. But sometimes blood
will tell. it matters not how much ii
