ASK EMBARGO ON HUN nn's:
POTASH BE REMOVED :
Farm Organizations Tell Trade
Board It Would Help Reduce
Living Cost.

Immediate removal Of the embargo
on German potash, as means of
lowering the cost OF living. has been
asked by the National Grange and
the National Board of Farm Organi-
cations in the joint letter to the War
Trade Board. The organizations pro-
tested that continuance of the en-
barge would deprive the country OF
100000 or more tons Of potash need
ed for crops ito serve a possible
profit to a small group Of Americans
who desire to engage in potash man
ufacture."
The letter charged that "the Amer
lean potash industry is assuming
grave responsibilities" in asking
continuance of the embargo, adding
that increased living costs would re-
suit il the present plight of the
farmer" with regard to potash needs
WIS not alleviated
The farmers organizations said they
were not satisfied the prices asked by
American manufacturers were rea-
sonable or fair and that If main
tanned they would cost farmers many
millions of dollars and increase the
price of food accordingly.

NITTI GAINS STRENGTH
BY ELECTORAL REFORM
Premier Of Italy Displays Tact in
Handling Situation; Delivers
Brilliant Speech.
BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1919.

MILAN, Italy, August 1 (delayed).-
The voting on electoral reform is
full of significance. The country was
practically unanimous in it's demand
for reform, and once more its will
prevailed against the will of the
chamber of deputies.
The opposition was ridiculous. Tho
minority of thirty-eight members,
among whom was Baron Sonnino,
former minister of foreign affairs. re-
vealed on this occasion the same
blind obstinacy as in the past. Pre-
mier Nitti, on the contrary, displayed
fine tact and made a brilliant speech
by which he succeeded in obtaining
unanimity in the senate.
1t is clearly to be seen that the po-
sition Of Premier Nitti will be very
strong henceforth. While the complete
success of the measure providing for
proportional representation has not
yet been achieved. 1t is impossible
that the reform bill will be swamped
in the future. In regard to this the
newspapers are unanimous. The cleo
toral division will be a province or
more territory than a single province
united for the purpose. The minimum
number of deputies to be elected in
each division will be five. 1t is hoped
in this way to prevent local corrup-
ton. In addition the minorities' will
be repre- scented according to the Bel
gian system.

DOWN IN BED
AND SO WEAK
Lady Suffered Terribly for Eight
Weeks But Her Case Showed
Wonderful Improvement
After Taking Cardui.

Johnson City, Tenn.-Mrs. NJ. H.
Scott, living near this town, states:
"About three years ago l was down in
bed terrible and so weak l
couldn't bear the sight Of food. This
condition continued for about eight
weeks / thought I was 60
ing to die, and knew I must get some
thing to do me some good. l had
heard all my life of Cardui and the
good results obtained from its use.
So l decided to try it.
After about a half bottle of Cardui
my appetite improved, then I was less
nervous. I kept it up until l had
taken five b0ttleS-and such an i'm
prOvement! I gained flesh and now
am the picture of health, due, l be-
lieve, solely to the use of Cardui. l
am the mother of ten children and
/ feel we'll and strong"
Cardui is a mild, medicinal tonic
for women. It has stood the most
severe of all tests-the test of time
having been in use for over forty
years. 1t is composed of purely veg
etable ingredients, which have beer
found to help build up the vitality

Secret of Greatness.

1t is Emerson who somewhere says
that the average run of men fret ana
worry themselves into nameless graves
while here and there great unseillsh
soul forgets itself into immortality.
Many hundred years before, q much
wiser man had said: For whosoever
will save his life shall lose it; and
whosoever will lose his life for my
sake shall find it.
A rather cryptic utterance; so con-
Trajectory in sound that the majority
of men pass it by unheeding.
But now and then there comes a
man who, sensing its truth, harnesses
his life to it, forgetting every selfish
thought and purpose.
Often he knows himself to be little
man. or, at best, only medium-sized.
But the world, behoIding the marveI
of his influence, remembers him and
calls him great.-Bruce Barton, in Rec
Book.
