ALLIES CAN'T PAY
 CASH FOR WHEAT
Means the Government Will Have to Grant Further
 Credits, Says Barnes
Ev Associatsd Press


 Washington, February 5.-If the United States is to sell it's surplus wheat to the allies this year, the transaction must. be on credit basis, Julius Barnes, head of the food administrations grain corpora ton, told the House agriculture commit tee today at hearings on legislation to provide method for carrying out the governments guaranteed price of s2.26 a bushel for the 1879 wheat crop.
 The allies have not the financial ability to pay cash for the wheat, it was ex- plained and the United States govern ment will have to extend further credits. At present the treasury has no power to make loans to the allies after peace is de- clared, although Congress is considering treasury request to be permitted to ex- tend the unused portion about $1 800 ,ooO,900 of credits already authorized for war loans to allies for peace time purchases in this country.
 In this connection Representative Young of Texas commented that he understood Great Britain was going to South Amer ica for grain because Argentine was lending money to finance the deals MT Barnes told the committee that the allies had agreed to surrender their resale op- tion on 100, ,oeo bushels of wheat con- tracted for in this country and would take the grain, the treasury having ad- vanced S2OO, ,00O eco to finance the transac- tion.
 Hubert J. Horan of Philadelphia said the flour trade was much exercised over present conditions because sudden break in the wheat market would mean bankruptcy to dealers carrying large stocks.

Judge Abernethy Talks
 About Home Cooking
By CHARLES II. MANDY

Whenever you see married man of several years standing, buying a sub. statital present for his wife when it is neither her birthday, wedding anniver- sary or Christmastide, 1t is a safe bet that the present aforesaid is a peace offering. Yesterday afternoon Judge Abernathy-but that is a little ahead of the story.
 The other day Ralph Ashwood, a young white man. was arrested and brought before "Jedge Ab'' on a charge of aban- doning or deserting his young wife. He did not deny leaving his wife. but plead in extenuation that she could not cook and that he suffered severely from in digestion every time he ate anything that she had prepared.
 Judge Alb questioned the young man closely. and with that keen insight of human nature that has made him so efficient in dealing with this and sim liar cases, came quickly to the conclu- sion that the fellow was trying to find an excuse for shirking his responsibil- ities and addressed him thus:
 Tt is not given to every woman to be born with an aptitude for cooking, nor do some of then learn the culinary art as quickly as others, but give everyone of them time and exercise a littls patience and ninety-nine out of one hundred will soon become adopts at the art.
 For instance, when I first married went broke buying Castoria, as 1 drank three of four bottles after each meal my wife cooked, and the amount of baking soda I swallowed to relieve my indigestion during the first week of our married life would have supplied the A. B. c. bakery with that commodity

Rich Red Blood Natures
 Safeguard

Do you realize how much your health and efficiency of mind and body depend upon the condition of your blood? Your body is made up of cells leach one too small to be seen except under a powerful mi croscope, each one a workman that has to be fed, built up, re- built, cleansed of waste matter, encouraged to do it's work ef- ficiently. The blood does this. Impure, impoverished or poi soned blood starves, irritates or +poisons cells all over the body. Nerve cells when irritated or starved protest in the form of Eczema, Tetter, Boils, Pimples and similar skin troubles, not withstanding the lavish use of salves, lotions, washes and other local treatment applied to the irritated parts, which is only temporary relief.
 No one ever heard of a per son being afflicted with any form of skin diseases whose blood was in good condition. Therefore, it is but logical to conclude that the proper method of treatment for skin diseases is to purify the blood and remove the tiny germs of pollution that break through and manifest their presence on the surface of the skin.

I for month. In what particular instance
 does your wife fall down?" She can't make biscuits; that is, bis cult that are fit to eat They are heavy and"
 That reminds me of the first batch of biscuits my wife made. They were so heavy that i'm Smiley borrowed some of them as weight testers, and after had
 broke tooth trying to puncture one, l | took the rest in the yard and broke them
 up with a hammer and feed them to some ducks swimming on the pond. Did they hurt the ducks?"
 "Of that I cannot say, but this I do know, that the moment the ducks swal-
 lowed them biscuits they sank and rose or more. My wife next tried to make some flapjacks, and they were actually
 so tough that I nailed pair to the back yard gate for hinges and half soled my shoes with the others
 50, you sec you are not the only one that has been inconvenienced by a wife s iEexperence Go home and make some allowances for your wifes shortcomings. and I am sure everything will turn out all right, but be assured of this. you must
 take care of her, for if you do not. be also assured that the law will take care of you"
 Of course some busy body had to, go and tell Judge Abernethy's wife about his comments on her early cooking, and
 as a result the 'Jedge'' was seen to leave
 his home very hurredly yesterday morn ing, and something that looked suspi-
 cously like a broom handle followed him to the door.
 So when the judge started home last night with a bundle which he purchased at a ladies' ready-to-wear store, it is reasonable to assume that Mrs. Aber-
 nethy will soon be hearing some of her lady friends say: Tt certainly is becom-
 ing; where did you buy it?"
