$3.50 WHEAT BILL
DEBATED IN SENATE
The Supply in the U. S. Is Far Less Than
at This Time Year
Ago

Washington, March Is. IL While the
food administration was making plans
Saturday to meet the critical wheat
shortage by further reduction in con-
sumption, the Senate again took up in
debate legislation to increase production
by raising the price on the 1918 crop
The food administration was stirred
to action by reports form the depart
ment of agriculture showing that the
supply of wheat on farms and in country
elevators is far less than it was a year
ago.
The Senate considered bill by Sena
tor Gore of Oklahoma to fix the price at
$3.50 or 30 cents a bushel more than set
in a recent proclamation by President
Wilson. In the House Saturday also
bill was introduced by Representative
Morgan of Oklahoma to appropriate
$300,000,000 to compensate producers for
the losses they suffered when the govern
ment established its 1917 price at fig
ure lower than the then market price.
Speaking for his bill, Senator Gore de.
clared that out of 100 leading commodi-
ties which had advanced within the last
year the increase in farm products had
been the least.
Senator Pomerene OF Ohio, Democrat,
charged that during the last two years
the laws of supply and demand had
failed to exist and that prices for cereals
had been fixed by "hoarders and gam
bers.' He accused the government and
Congress with having failed to do their
duty, declaring regula tions should be ex-
tended to all cereals alike.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
urged that farmers be paid
more for their wheat, saying that unless
this were done wheat would be produced
at loss in his state.
Senator Williams of Mississippi, Dem
ocrat, opposed price fixing legislation, de-
claring farmers should be allowed free
market for their products.

problem of substitutes for wheat easy
of solution without depending wholly
upon the cereal substitutes.
1t must be remembered that from this
time on all the wheat exported to feed
the armies and the allies must be saved
by the American people by their economy
OF wheat and wheat products.
All the surplus wheat of the 1917 crop
already has gone to Europe.
Practical Suggestions.
The United State, food administration
makes these suggestions:
Have at least one meal day without
wheat bread Use instead corn, cat. rye.

Eat less cake and pastry.

least q hours in advance. 80 that he

and prejudice" Mr. Fosdiek asserts
have hampered the effective enforce
ment of laws. There have been people
who have opposed any change when a
cleanup was ordered failing to realize
the destructive influence of the seSTegat-
ed zones upon the military efficiency of
the soldiers and sailors. Others have
argued that the abolition Of segregation
would scatter evil throughout the com
munity.
These conditions coupled with the
apathy OF a few public officials have
forced the government To take drastic
steps TO bring certain cities To a Tealiza-
ton OF their duty in keeping their soldier
and sailor visitors fit for fighting. At
Seattle. Wash. recently pressure brought
about BY indignant citizens forced the

A TIME FOR
STRONG NERVES
There Is No Tonic for the Nerves That
Is Not Tonic for Every Other
Part OF the Body.

Many people are worrying themselves
sick over the high cost of living.
War time with its excitement and
hysteria is trial to the strongest
nerves, To those whose nervous sys.
TENS are run down by oyerwork or
worry, To those who are on the verge
of neurasthenia, il is time Of danger.
II your hand, your thumb or foot
trembles when you try TO hold il still,
if the lines are shaky when you write,
If you have tremors of your lips or chin
your nerves need strengthening.
These signs often precede u serious
nervous breakdown. In meeting this
condition IL is necessary 10 exercise care
in the diet and take nervine tonic.
DIR. Willimas' Pink Pills contain ingre.
dents that build up the nerves at the
same time that they tone up the system
in general and their value in preventing
nervous disorders from developing can
not be disputed.
There is no tonic for the nerves that
is not tonic for every other part OF
the body. There is no form of debility
that does not rob the nerves of nourish-
ment. The remedy therefore for nervous
breakdown is tonic that will build up
the general health, reyitalize the blood
and enable it to carry to the nerves the
elements that they need
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are an idea
tonic for this condition because they
are non alcoholic and neurasthenic pa
tients should avoid alcoholic stimulants |
The DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Sche-
nectady, n. Y, has published little |
book ON nervous disorders that contains !
a chapter on neurasthenia in which the |
symptoms are fully described and the
correct treatment given. The booklet is
free on request.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by |
your own druggist or will be sent by !
mail, postpaid on receipt of price, 50 |
