President Wilson has been deeply
occupied with problems of this kind

Hoover and with other members OF
the American mission.
It is semi officially stated that the
American delegation is pressing for
reduction in the severity of the block
is extremely difficult to give the peo-
pie Of America an actual description
of the numerous international cur
rents in the present situation.
1t is farthest from the mind of the
governments allied with the United
States to take any steps which would
be to the disadvantage of America.
pies Of the allied countries would
sanction any steps which might affect
the friendly cooperation with US.
There are, however, certain business
influences in all countries whose
voices are being heard in the economic
ly. Such voices may perhaps cloud the
atmosphere in which the American
delegation finds itself on entering the
peace conference
Favor Early Blockade Lifting.
The highest military and naval opin-
ion in American quarters here sup
ports the view that Germany has been
reduced to absolute military impo-
tence, and that the necessity for the
strictest blockade is gone.
American opinion here Is that the
lifting of the blockade should not be
postponed any longer than is abso-
lutely necessary.
This opinion likewise holds that the
early resumption of commercial ac-
tivities is of the utmost importance in
preventing the spread of bolshevism,
which may in some measure be
checked by the early movement of
certain necessities of life needed
everywhere by impoverished peoples.

Assist Company and Hopes for
Better Service.

National Capital were discussed last
night at meeting of the Brightwood
Citizens Association, especially the

School, with Charles w. Ray presiding.

running schedule; put into operating
condition idle cars at present in the
car barn; extend the schedule to
points farther north than Soldiers
Home junction and make other i'm
provements. The citizens of Bright
wood and patrons of the line will also
assist the company in securing all the
fares due, which it was stated was not
the case at present. Efforts are to be
made to check up on the conductors
in the future.

Section 4 of Lever Act Cited.

If these reports are true the ad-
ministrator continued, dealers should
be reminded that under section OF
the Lever act, under which the food
administration operates, TO monopo-
lie or attempt to monopoiize. either
locally or generally, amy necessaries,
or TO conspire or agree to restrict the
supply of ANY necessarles, IS an I'M
lawful act. which will constitute suf-
ficient grounds for the revocation of
license or other disciplinary measures
by the food administration.
Mr.. Wilson made it plain that his
department is on the alert to detect
any profiteering or undue speculation
on the part of either wholesale or re-
tail food dealers here.
Mr.. Wilson, like all other federal
food administrat tors throughout the
country, was recently notified BY the
United States Food Administration to
be on the lookout for an increase in
profiteering and speculation as re-
suit of the lifting of many of the
regulatory measures Of the admins
tration since the signing of the
armistice Aside from this warning.
he was recently notified by one of his
food inspectors of d rumor that some
local dealers were simply waiting
for the administration to go out OF
existence, when they would start boost
ing prices"
The administrator declares that
from his observation a ldISe indJoiits
of the food dealers in Washington
have loyalty supported the orders of
the administration and have not in
du1ged in profiteering. In this respect
he was gratified today at the quick
response of food dealers to his request
for a signed pledge regarding the
newly established margins of profit.
Dealers Willing to Pledge.
When the 1900 dealers in Washing
ton were notified of the margins of
profit on the various staple food ar
ticIes they were asked to sign a pledge
to the effect that they would volun-
tarily follow these margins
Although only two days have
elapsed since these notices were
mailed, the administration. this morn
ing received ITO signed pledges. This
number was considered by the ad-
ministrator as splendid showing,
and he expects a very small percent
age of the dealers to refuse to pledge
themselves,
Mr.. Wilson said today that those
dealers who do refuse to pledge them
selves will naturally be closely
watched at is safe to assume" he
stated, that they are now. or will in
the future, engage in profiteering."

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Back
achy or have Bladder
Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels: removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache. dig
illness, your stomach sours, tongue Is
coated and when the weather 10 bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritatel, obliging
you to get up two or three times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these Irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous
waste get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear. This IA
nous salts Is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder ir-
ritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive;
harmless and makes delightful eff
fervescent Whitewater drink which
millions of men and women take now
and then, thus avoiding serious kid
ney and bladder diseases.

Ell Paso, Texas, Dec. 4.-Certain
American concerns operating in Mex

their American employees out Of Mex

withdrawal OF American employees
from Mexico.
Names of these companies are
withheld because of possible danger
to their employees in quitting Mexico
Danger to Americans in Mexico

the United States and Mexico be
broken had been one of the subjects
most seriously discussed on the Dor

arising out of the Jenkins case. 1t
was felt that an order from the gov

ident Taft in 1912 ordering Americans
to leave would create much i'll feel

cause actual lCoodshed.

tacular. Carpenter was fast on his
feet, dancing in and out and playing
havoc with the Englishman from the
first lead With lightning swiftness
Carpenters left leaped out and
caught Beckett on the face, and a
suppressed sigh was audible all over
the house. A quick breakaway fol-
lowed a short clinch and the French
man landed two more hard lefts.
Beckett, with a sort of bulldog de-
termination, forced Carpenter almost
to the ropes. But this was a diversion
for a moment only for the French
man stepped back and then forward,
and, with all his strength and the full
weight of his body swung his right to
the Englishman's jaw and Beckett
went down and out.
The betting was heavy before the
contest odds of seven to four being
laid on Beckett, and most of those
present were losers although Carpen-
tier had plenty of supporters.
