CRITICISE H0TLY
SEIZURE OF CABLES

The taking over of the cables by
the government almost simultan-
eously with the announcement that
the President is going TO Europe to
attend the peace conference has
caused an outburst of criticism on
the part of republican senators. The
charge that this action is a deliber-
ate attempt on the part of the adj
ministration to control the news of
the peace conference.
Senator Watson of Indiana. is ex-
pected to make a speech in the
senate tomorrow, pointing out to
the senate that the chief purpose of
the seizure of the cable after the ces-
sation of hostilities is to give George
Creel, chairman of the committee

publicity in connection with the
Presidents visit abroad.

FEAR OF WORLD SC0URGE

THE struggle for existence, or. in
other words, war for food. is now
spreading over the world" said Char
les Lathrop Pack, president of the
national war garden commission. at
Washington.
1'Uncle Sam must become the JOS
eph OF the modern world and feed the
international bread line; that is quite
evident" continued Mr. Pack, who
directed attention TO the fact that Mr..
Hoover has just sailed for Europe to
Investigate the food situation. Per
haps another way of saying it is feed
the enemy last, but in any event
there are new millions of civilian
population in friendly countries to be
fed
:'Going back through history, it will
be seen that in many instances where
i country mas given its name to a
war that country has lost. This rule
has been closely followed. For in
stance. the Franco-Prussian war;
france lost The Russo-Japanese
war; Russia lost. The Mexican war;
,s9xico lost. The Spanisn-American
y ?; Spain lost. Now we have the
we 4 war. Viii the world be the
lose. fAIll Germany pull the. world
down with her unless the world is
fed
Famine brings on disease. A
scourge loosed upon Europe's half
fed population might spread through
out the world. The recent influenza
epidemic would be forgotten in COM
parison to the havoc worldwide
scourge could bring about. Thus the
world would be the loser.
There are now millions in Europe
to be fed. There are thousands up
on thousands who have not had what
Americans call square meal in-four
years. These people look to the
United States for food. There will
be much more need of victory gar
dens' next year than there ever was
for war gardens"

THE STORY OF PLATINUM

Platinum, the use OF which WIS
once prohibited, now holds the high
est place in the jewelry business.
This is not because of its beauty
but on account of its extreme scarce
ness and costliness, for silver and
gold are more beautiful than plati-
mum.
Platinum is heavier than gold and
was previously used to debase gold.
For this reason the Spanish govern
ment at one time put ban on the
metal
Platinum is not affected by as-s
and melts only at an extremely high
temperature. Therefore it has been
universally used in the laboratory as a
catacIytic agent and for crucibles
The world'se richest deposits of tie
metal are in the Ural mountains in
Russia and were opened by the Rus
sian government in 1928.
With this additional supply. pla; r.
mum came into wide use among the
chemists. as crucibles for melting
other metals and for instruments.
At one time sulphuric acid w
concentrated in platinum stills, b.
these have been supplanted by por-
celain stills. Platinum however
continues to be an essential in the
manufacture of both sulphuric and
nitric acids, which in turn are used
in making explosives
The part which platinum plays in
this process is an interesting one. Its
presence produces desired changes in
the sulphuric gases, but the platinum
itself Is not changed nor consumed
in the process. The present shortage
in the supply, however, curtails the
output of these acids ON the scale de-
sired.
1t is therefore considered a most
unpatriotic act to invest in platinum
jewelry.
The use of the metal in magnetos.
telephone, telegraph, and all electri-
cal contacts is quite as important as
its use in the manufacture of explo-
sives. 1t Is also essential in making
instruments for measuring high TEN.

ing some $1,000 ounces of platinum

Thus has platinum become wal
essential.

10 Avoid and Relieve Influenza
BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.

Many people have been frightened by
what they have read or heard OF influenza.
The more you fear the disease, the surer
you are to get it. Go right about your
business and forget 1t. As the disease is
spread principally by contact thru sneez-
ing, coughing or splitting, many health au-
thorities have advised that everyone wear
q gauze. which Is daily washed and satur-
ated with one to five hundred solution
OF zinc sulphate in water, and then dried
before wearing over the nose and mouth.
You should avoid crowds, common drink
ing cups and public towels. Keep your
strength up by taking lots OF exercise In
the open air and plenty OF nourishing food.
Ii you have any Of such symptoms as
chilliness, nasal distractions, flushed face,
headache, feverishness, restlessness, weak
ness, or irritating cough. give up work at
once and go to bed. This will save your
strength to help overcome the disease. Put
your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some
such mild and non-irritating physic as DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink princi-
pally Of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty OF clothes In bed 80 as TO get
good sweat. When sweating is free. and
the fever reduced take dose Of two An
uric Tablets every -four. hours, followed BY
drinking at least glass or two OF hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly TO
relieve the soreness OF the muscles and
bones from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the poisons:
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose, prob
ably nothing is better than such a mild,
soothing, antiseptic wash as DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. 1t will give great
relief. Employed as q gargle, in same
strength as made up for use in the nose,
and as hot as can be borne, it quickly ar
rests soreness and dryness In the throat
Influenza weakens the patients resist
anco to disease, SO that there is danger o.
bronchitis and pneumonia developing. II
