Cross national headquarters of the
conviction of William Z. Martin in the
federal court at Greenville, Tennessee,
on an indictment containing three
counts which charged him with SLAM
dering the Red Cross, President Will

States. Judge Edward 7. Sanford
denied the motion for a new trial on
all grounds except that Of Insanity
and postponed final disposition OF the
case ten days to enable the attorneys
to submit affidavits touching on Mar
tins mental condition.
The first count charged that Mar
tin declared that the Red Cross was
merely a scheme to support lot OF
women and that several hundred Red
Cross nurses had been sent back from
France because of their conduct in
that country. The second charged
him with making scurrilous remarks
about the President. He declared,
according to indictment, that the
President was sending all the men of
the United States to France to be
killed and that he would see the
President in hell before he would 60
to France to fight" The third count
charged Martin with statements inn
plying that the money raised by the
government for war purposes was be-
ing misapplied
A plea by the defense that the in
dIctment should be quashed on the
ground that the Red Cross IS not a
part of the military forces Of the
United States was overruled.

STRICT PAPER SAVING
URGED BY WAR BOARD
Chemicals Used in Manufacture
Needed for Munitions.

Conservation of paper must be en-
forced in order that an extremely
serious situation may not ensue, was
the announcement yesterday of the
paper economy division of the War
Industries Board. In a campaign to
limit the use of paper OF every kind
to bare necessities, the following
warnings have been issued by the
board:
Don't wrap everything.
Carry your basket to market.
Use paper over and over again.
Start your paper bag pile and make
each bag do double duty.
Take the initiative in offering to
carry unwrapped packages.
Use both sides of the paper for cor
respOndence.
Spread the message-"Don't waste
paper"
Chemicals Indispensable for making
munitions and poisonous gases are
used in the manufacture of paper.
Present Indications are that there
will not be enough sulphur allotted to
the manufa cture of paper, and the
supply can be kept sufficient only
through strict conservation.
The scarcity of sulphur has recently
forced the government to take over
two mines in Louisiana and Texas in
order to meet the sulphur demands
for war purposes.

Wants Minimum Price Of
$3.50 a Hundred on Hogs

The Agricultural Advisory Com
mittee has recommended that the
Food Administration should at once
announce its intention to maintain the
minimum price on hogs at not less
than 1850 per hundred continuously
during the war. These figures are
based upon the price Of corn.
The committee announces that the
Food Administration has no power to
fix the price of hogs or corn and can
only influence the price as far as
army and ally orders will absorb the
surplus production. II adds that a
general survey of mark t and con
sumption conditions shows that a fa'-

S. S. S. Has Proven to Be a Blood
Purifier that Will Cleanse the
Vital Fluid and Garry of
the Impurities.

The very fact that Catarrh is
often considered to be nothing
more than bad hcad-cold or in
flammation of the membranes Of
the nose and throat has caused
many people to 80 through years
of suffering, who might have been
fully restored TO health had they
realized that the supposed cold in
the head was not local trouble
only, but that they had become in
fectcd with the germs of compli-
Gated and dangerous disease.
1t is true that Catarrh naturally
begins with a cold in the head, and
this supposed cold may have been
caused by infection through prox-
unity to infected persons in a
closed street car or room, inhsling
the germs when some one coughed
or sneezed; but, however the in
fection occurs, the poisons which
are taken into your system, ult-
mately find their way into your
blood and the supposed cold be-
comes a constitutional trouble that
will affect every part of your body,
The poisoned blood circulating
through your system will carry
these germs to the very source oi
your vitality.
Look out for these symptoms
for there is no more annoying OF
dangerous disease than Catarrh
There's a continual discharge from
the nostrils, buzzing in the ears
that grows worse and worse
