ment TO help tighten the traffic burden
in the East and a committee of gov

out a plan diverting export freight

the extent necessary to clear up con-
gestion.
At the same time the director gen.

YOU'RE BILIOUS!LET
"CASCARETS" LIVEN
LIVER AND BOWELS
Don't stay headachy, constipated,
sick, with breath bad and
stomach sour.
Get a 10-cent box now.

You men and women who can't get
feeling right-who have headache,
coated tongue, bad taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bill
ious, nervous and upset, bothered with
a sick, gassy, disordered stomach, or
have a bad cold.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with CasCarets, or merely forcing a
passageWay every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove The sour
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and pois-
on in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning-a 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet, liver and bowels reg
ular, and head clear for months Don't
forget the children. They love Gas
carets because they taste good-nevel

Nationwide Survey of Stocks Of Food

Stuffs.
All dealers, manufacturers, ware
housemen, hotels and other institu-
tions having on hand more than $3.50
worth of foodstuffs must report to the
bureau of markets of the Department
of Agriculture, giving detailed state
ment Of their holdings December 81,
with comparison Of holdings on the
same day last year.
A statement by Charles J. Brand
says every effort has been made to
send schedules to the firms and indi-
viduals who handle the food supply of
the country, but that failure to receive
a schedule does not exempt anyone
from complying with the regulations
If schedules are not received by Janu-
ary 2, application should be made to
| the bureau Of markets or one of it's
| branch offices. Failure to report
holdings makes the offender liable tc
prosecution.
The bureau is making a nationwide
survey Of food supplies for the gov.
ernment's use in planning conserva.
ton, utilization and production.

Business Conditions Good at Begin.
ming of New Year.

A review Of business conditions
throughout the country made public
Monday by the committee of statisti-
cal experts CT the United States cham
ber of commerce says: "The transfor-
nation within a twelve-month Of Ger
tain sections of the South in agri-
culture and business seems almost
unbelievable" and announces that
with the exception of Texas and Okla
homa, Southern States have raised
more than enough corn for their own
needs and are in position to ship it.
"Throughout the country" the re-
view says, "the extraordinary and alb
normal demands made upon everyone,
from farm boy to corporation head,
| have left the nation steady and with
heavy reserves coming up for the new
year."
The buying power Of the nation is
greater and more widespread than ev-
er before and apparently the general
volume Of business seems assured at
something like it's present status dur
ing the coming winter months, the re-
view adds.
