BIG PACKERS
 LOSE SUITS
Control of Stock Yards and Re- tail Trade Taken From Big Five by Federal Court-Fear of Monopoly Ends.

Washington, Dec. 18.-The govern ment's antitrust suit against the great meat packers, begun at Presi-
 dent Wilson's direction last summer as part of the fight on the high cost
 of living, has been compromised un-
 der an agreement by which the pack CTS will confine themselves hereafter to the meat and provision business. An injunction decree, to which the packers have acceeded, will be en- tered in the federal courts to make the agreement binding. Under it's terms the big five-Swift, Armour, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy-have agreed:
 To sell under supervision of the United States district court, prefer ably to the live stock producers and the public, all their holdings in pub- lie stock yards and newspapers.
 To dispose of all their interests in public cold storage warehouses except as necessary for their own meat pro- ducts.
 To forever dissociate themselves with the retail meat business.
 To forever dissociate themselves with all unrelated lines," including wholesale groceries, fresh canned, dried or salt fish, fresh, dried or can ned vegetables; fresh, crushed, dried evaporated CT canned fruits; confec- tioneries; syrups; soda water foun- tain supplies, etc., molasses, honey, jams, jelllies and preserves; ices; sauces, relishes, etc.; coffee, tea, choc- olate, cocoa, nuts, flour, wafers,

SENATE RETAINS
 STRIKE PROVISION
Of Cummins Bill, 46 to 25-Is Considered Doubtful is House Will Yield to Upper Body on This Point.

Washington, Dec. 18.-The Senate voted today to make strikes unlawful on the railroads or other systems of transportation engaged in interstate commerce.
 By vote of 46 to 25, the motion of Senator Stanley of Kentucky, Democrat, to eliminate the anti strike provisions of the Cummins bill was rejected. The vote was of non- partisan nature, although substan- tial majority of the support of the motion came from the Democratic side.
 The action of the Senate renders the prospect of final action on the railroad bill extremely uncertain. The House defeated the anti-strike pro- vision of the Esch railroad bill by an overwhelming majority, and there is little likelihood that it will ever yield to Senate on this point. Indications are that prolonged controversy will ensue between the two houses.

 The Prescott Hi basket ball sextet went over to Camden this morning, accompanied by Miss Curry, coach, and number of fans, and the girls will meet the Camden lassies in a game this evening. The game will probably be staged indoors, but our team will not be handicapped because of this fact, as they have had consid- erable experience on the wooden court and we are confident that your Christ mas money would be safe on Prescott. The local girls are playing spirited game this season and it is to be re- gretted that our people have been un- able to see them in action this season. Two or three games have been sche- duled to date and the inclement wea- ther coupled with other disappoint- ments have prevented a single game here.

 Rivers are stiil rising at sll points heard from this evening and reports denote that the crest of fae flood has not yet reached this part of the state.
 Different lines of the roads running into Mobile dropped out one by one to- day and reports of washouts on all lines have Teen lost track of. The Louisville and Nashville local offices announced this afternoon that they did not know how long communication on their one open line could be maintained and discouraged travellers to any point in or near the flooded districts
 Forecast made by local meteorologists today states thai the Tombgbee river will rise tomorrow at a decreasing rate. The Black Warrior at Tuscaloosa will not exceed 59 feet, when it will fall away sometime tomorrow The Alabama river will rise at Montgomery all day today, the forecast reads, and will continue to do so until Friday night or Saturday morning before the crest is reached.

Indoor Heat Wrinkles
 the Skin-the Remedy

As the skin tends to expand in a warm atmosphere, cheeks and chin to sag and wrinkles to form, good astringent lotion should be used by the woman who keeps pretty much indoors these days Dissolve one ounce of pure powdered saxolte in one-half pint of witch hazel. Bathe the face in this particularly before re- ceivna guests. or before going out for the atre dance or other social affair
 The lotion, which of course is perfectly harmless, gives almost immediate results, erasing wrinkles and smoothing out the flabby skin most remarkably. The face is wonderfully refreshed and rejuvenated in appearance. Be sure to ask the druggist for the powdered saxolite.
