GrOcers Conclude Their Case Against
 Packing Interests

Chicago, Ort. 29.-Statistics show ing the large increase in food pro- ducts handled by the "big five" pack CTS forderly distributed by wholesale grocers were introduced in evidence today at the interstate commerce commissions hearing of the National Wholesale Grocers' association conn., plaint that the meat packers have been given expeditions freight ser vice by the railroads.
 Attorney Clifford Thorne, repres- enting the National Wholesale Gro cers' association, declared that the packers controlled two hundred food manufacturing and canning compan- ies in this corntry and 1000 retail stores in Great Britain.
 E. A. Humphrey, wholesale gro cer from Clinton, Okla, testified to the advantages enjoyed by the pack CTS in the shipment of food products between Oklahoma City and Clinton.
 "It takes us from three to 15 days to ship goods between these points while the packers are enabled to make the shipments in considerably less than half the time," said Mir. Humphrey. Frequently they ship goods between these points in a single day"
 Attorney Thorne declared that for many years the packers have practically dictated to the railroads the rules under which they loaded and shipped mixed cars of food products by freight.

START TOMORROW AND KEEP II UP
 EVERY MORNING
Get into the habit of drinking . glass of hot water before
 breakfast.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath ?" you say. We'll, it is guar anteed to perform miracles according to hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It is intended to flush the stomach. liver, kidneys and intestines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestiple material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day becomes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood, causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeting right are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sanitation. adv.

House Aircraft PrOberS Attacked
 by John D. Ryan

New York, Oct. 29-The congress sional committee which is investi- gating the army air service was vigorously attacked today by John D. Ryan, formerly director of aircraft production, for having made intima- tions against persons whose ser vices had been of value to the gov ernment contracts" Mir. Ryan appear ed as witness before the sub-com- mittee of the special committee which is holding hearings here.
 The subcommittee is inquiring particularly into the construction of government spruce railroad 38 miles long at cost of 34,000,000 in Olympia peninsula, Washington state, connecting with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway. Mir. Ryan is a director of the railroad. Referring to the telegram sent by the committee to Secretary Baker from Portland, Ore, urging that 2 proposed sale of the government value to be held up, MT. Ryan said he thought it was outrageous and scandalous and an abuse of the con- gressional privilege to make charges in that telegram without giving the persons involved a hearing.

WOMEN, HERE IS
 A MONEY SAVER

Save five to ten dollars quickly by dry cleaning everything in the home just as easy as laundering. You can dry clean suits, coats, waists, silks, laces, gloves, shoes, furs, draperies, rugs, mems clothes-everything that would be ruined by soap and water.
 Place gallon or more of gasoline in dishpan or wash boiler, then put in the things to be cleaned and wash them with Solvite soap. Short ly everything comes out looking like new.
 Nothing fades, shrinks or wrin- kles. No pressing needed. Do not attempt to dry clean without Solvite soap. This gasoline soap is the secret of all dry cleaning.
 A package of Solvite soap con- taining directions for home dry clean ing costs but few cents at any drug, grocery or department store. Dry clean away from flame or out of doors. adv,

PEACE TREATY MAY BECOME EFFECTIVE
 ON ARMISTICE DAY
Formal Ratification Is Expect ed to Take Place on No.
 vember II.

London, Oct. 29.-The German peace treaty may come into effect on the anniversary of armistlce day. It was announced by Cecil Harms worth, under-secretary for foreign affairs, in the house of commons to- day that the government hoped the treaty would be formally ratified on November II and come into effect the same day.
 National finance was the topic up for debate in the house of commons today with the government facing probably as critical body of mem- bers as ever appeared in parliament. More than 100 members had given notice of a desire to speak and all were understood to be prepared to belabor the government for 1t alleg- ed wastes and extravaganza. Some of the governments keenest critics are among the supporters of the coall- tion, including such staunch unlonists as Sir Edward Carson and Lord Robert Cecil.
 The program called for the in- troduction by Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, of the official resolution drafted by the cabinet at Mondays meeting. The motion declares "that this house, realizing the serious effects upon the trade and industry of the nation, of the enormous financial burdens re- sulting from the war, promises it's hearty support to the government in all reasonable proposals, however, drastic, for the reduction of expendi- ture and the dimunition of debt" ," This is counted as equivalent to demand for a vote on confidence. Donald MacLean for the independent liberals, and w. c. Adamson for the labor party, have tabled amendments which are virtually equivalent to votes of censure.
 It is expected the debate will oc- cupy the remainder of the parlia- ment week. Both Premier Lloyd George and Mir. Bonar-Law, the gov ernment leader, will speak in the governments defense. Winston Churchill, the war secretary, will defend the war office against which solae of the bitterest charges of extravagrance have been launched. Others of the ministers probably will offer defenses of their respective de- partments.
 Notwithstanding the intense anti government feeling in large sec- tion of both houses and electorate, present opinion in political quarters is that the defeat of the govern ment is unlikely.

Treves, May IL Rates of ex
change in German money transactions
noted in the mails under American
censorship show that the exchange
early in May was far from stable.
One report gave the rate in Berlin
at 241 marks for 100 francs, while
another transaction mentioned in a
business letter showed that a Cologne
bank paid 222 1-2 marks. The branch
of the Reichsbank in Cologne has
been paying only 200, officials of
the bank saying that each bank sets
it's own rate, being governed entirely
by other transactions which the bank
may have with its correspondents in
foreign countries,
Beginning May 1, the United States
disbursing office at the army head
quarters in Coblenz began paying
222 marks for 100 francs, an in
crease of % marks over the exchange
! rates which had been in effect several
months.

More General Use of Motor
Trucks for Short HaulS will
Greatly Help the Nation

leaving the farmers free to do a full days
work in the fields. The saving of labor
is enormous.
The miscellaneous character of loads
hauled by the motor-express lines IS
shown by the service rendered between
Baltimore and Frederick, Maryland, by
regular carriage company. Said the
manager recently: 81 would say that our
express line is of greater advantage to the
farmers than to the merchants. From
Frederick to Baltimore our loads are COM
posed mostly of farm products-groceries
and supplies shipped from Frederick to
the country merchants and the farmers
direct. Along the road we pick up calves,
turkeys, horses, hogs, sheep, cows, pota-
toes, meal, wheat, corn, apples, eggs, and
practically everything the farmer pro-
duces. Our return goods from Baltimore
are practically all for the Frederick
merchant. We run on the same route
every day, leaving on schedule time. By
doing this, all the farmers know about
what time we are due along the road, anG
very little time is lost by them on account
of having to wait for our trucks"
The motor-express line must be further
developed everywhere. That it is
paying proposition for the promoters,
there is no room for doubt, because 4
truck can be operated all day under full
load, or practically full load. No time
or fuel need be wasted operating an empty
truck. In and about many of the large
cities trucks operating on regular schedule
to suburbs and towns within fifty miles
earn from $50 to $40 per day.
