JOHNSON. TO PUSH
PROFITEERING PLAN

Chairman johnson. Of the House
District Committee. will oppose any
plan for disposing OF the rent-profit-
eering question which is now up in
connection with the food production
bill which does not involve the enact
ment Of the Johnson anti-profitser-
ing measure.
This IL the talk among the con-
ferees on the food production meas
ure. which Is blocked from passage
because OF disagreement OF the two
houses over profiteering in Wash
inEton.
IL IL now generaly understood that
there is little or no show OF getting
the food production bill finally enact
ed before the elections. Although Il
is doubtful whether Congress takes
a recess, there will be three-day ad-
tournaments. and so many members
are absent II Is difficult to transact
important and controyerted business.

To insure next summers ice sup
ply for 100000 Washingtonians, ar
ranging for its distribution, is the
big job that Clarence Wilson, local
foo administrator, has entered
upon.
That was a mighty close call
Washington had the summer just
ended. Right in the middle of the
warInest days Of August the dis
tribution of the small supplies then
on hand broke down; thousands
went without ice; merchants and
consumers lost perishEble goods in
considerable quantities. Termina-
ticn Of the hot weather saved suf-
fering and material losses.
Committee Named.
Mr.. Wilson foresees the difficulties
Of another war summer, with its
scarcity OF labor, troubles OF trans
portation, and so on. and he has
named a committee OF ice manufac-
turers and dealers to report to him.
At an early date, plans for guarantee
ing against an ice shortage.
Business men OF Washington will
approve the steps that have been
taken, because most OF them long
have realized the seriousness OF the
possibilities.
The ice facilities OF Washington are
measured TO take care of a popula-
ton OF not exceeding $50. 900 people
Under normal conditions. prior to last
summer, there were times when the
ice supply ran dangerously low. II
was supplemented at critical periods
by shipments by boats from Maine, or
over the railroads.
To Store Supply.
No shipments of this kind can be-
relied upon next year. Boats for
water transportation are not to be-
had Railroads cannot stop war and
business shipments for ice. So the
problem before Mr.. Wilson is to lay
UP enough ice in this town between
now and next summer to supply $780,

cannot insist too often that these
divisions have not been complete

badly cut up, but others only
slightly, so a short rest and a
few recruits will make them as
good as ever.

the weather and other conditions

How Civil War Veteran
Got Rid of Indigestion
Suffered 35 Years from Acid StOm-
ach and Food Fermentation.

Adjt. VIM. B. Day of the Wash
ington Veterans Home, Retsil,
Wash, Is telling all his comrades
how he got rid of acidity and food
fermentation and advising them to
do as he did, take Bi-nesia.
Adjt. Day had suffered 35 years
from acid stomach and food fer
mentation. Most everything he
ate would begin to ferment in Is
or 20 minutes, causing intense
pains in all parts Of his body. To
use his own words, he had taken
every known remedy, all of which
proved worthless" He then read
of Bi-nesia and decided to give it
a trial. "Since then" he says, 81
am feeling just splendid and the
credit is all due to Bi-nesia. l am
different man both mentally
and physically and can eat most
any food set before me. most
cheerfully recommend Bi-nesia 10
all those suffering from excessive
acidity caused by fermentation of
food. 1t will give you immediate
relief"
Think of it! This 71-year-old
veteran of the Civil War after try
ing numberless remedies without
benefit gets immediate relief from
the first trial Of Bi-nesia and is
now buying it to give to his COM
rades so that they too may be free
from the pains of indigestion.
If you suffer from indigestion,
dyspepsia, acidity, gas or fermen-
tation, don't wait 35 years to get
relief, but go today to your near
est druggist and get soc pack
age of Bi-nesia Powder, take it
home and take a teaspoonful in a
glass Of hot water Immediately
after eating or whenever pain is
felt. II the results are not salts
you are not delighted
with the result, return the guar
antee contract found in every
package and get your money back.
The druggist Of whom you buy 1t,
a man you personally know, stands
back Of that guarantee.
