When Markets OF Europe are Opened
Freely to Trade, There viii De a
Greater Demand for Food Than
Can be Supplied.

Paris. - Herbert Hoover United
States food administrator and director
general Of the international relief or
ganization in a statement issued Sun
day declared that:
1.-THE dominating food problem In
the United States at this moment is
a very much bigger problem than the
Chicago packers. IT is a problem OF
the American farmer. ~>
eff the packers profit Of 2 or 8 per
cent on his turnover Is. too high, 1t is
the duty Of congress to tax 1t out of
him, If the farmers prices. threaten to
fall below the level of fair return, it
behooves the country to do some quick
clear thinking.
The perplexities arising out of in
ability to demobilize totally the food
situation of the world in the period
between the armistice and peace make
the farmers position In the matter 4of
much more Immediate concern than
the future of the Chicago packers. (.
Taking it broadly before the Euro
pean war began we exported abc1t
100000 tons Of food year. This
year we are prepared to- export at the
rate Of from 100000 to 2O,OO0, OOP
tons. The increase represents The pa
triotic service of the American farm
er, plus the voluntary sacrifice of tile
average American under the stimulus
tIon of the pleas from the allied gov
ernments that without an enormous in
crease In our food supplies their very
lives would be menaced.
I'VE are thus faced with a serious
problem with respect to our own great
supplies, periodically accumulated. IL
an early peace is signed and the mar
kets of Europe are opened freely to
trade, there win be a greater demand
for food from the new mouths than
ever this surplus could supply. But
In the periods between the. armistice
and peace we have very difficult
situation.
I'VE have found it possible to pro
tect the American farmer in the two
and One-half months since the arInis-
tice. This we have done by co-operat,
ing with the allies, in opening wider
markets to neutral countries and by
relief shipments into the liberated ter
ritories. The next and last six weeks

DELEGATES FAVOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
PEACE FARLEY DELEGATES ARE
n UNANIMOUS IN APPROVAL OF
= .. PROPOSED PLAN.
President Wilson In Earnest Address
Declares Congress Has Solemn
z. Obligations to Make Permanent
Settlement Of Great Problems.

Paris.-The peace conference on
Saturday, January 25, unanimously
adopted the league of nations project.
on the league of nations, it was learned
win be: For the United States Presi-
dent Wilson and Col Il. NJ. House for
Great Britain, Lord Robert Cecil and
Gen. Jan Christian SHUTS; for France,
Leon Bourgeois and Ferdinand Lar
naude, dean of the faculty of law of
the University of Paris; for Italy,
Premier Orlando and Viterio Seia-
lola; for Japan, Viscount Chinda and.
X. Ochiai. The delegates of the
small nations will be announced later.
President Wilson made brilliant
address on the subject of league of
nations when the proposition was pre-
sented to the conference. The presi-
dent declared the conference had sol.
emn obligations to make permanent
settlement.
The present conference, the presi-
dent added, could not complete. it's
work until some further machinery or
ident spoke earnestly.
"We are not here aione," he said, "as
Representatives of governments, but as
representatives OF peoples, and in the
settlements we make we need to salts
fy, not the opinions of governments,
but the opinion of mankind"
President Wilson commended that
league OF nations must be vital thing
and not casual or. occasional. 1t must
have continuity. $500
4 1T, should be the eye of nations, an
eye which never slumbers," he de-
clared. -
On his travels, the president said,
people everywhere had greeted the,
league as the first thing in their In
terest.
+ "Select classes of men no longer d.
rect the affairs Of the world" said the
president, .'but the fortunes Of the
world are now in the hands OF the
plain people"
The wish of the people. therefore,
must be heard. The war had swept
away those old foundations by which
small coteries had FUSED mankind as
pawhs in game" Nothing but eman-
cipation from the old systems he con-
tended, would accomplish real peace.
The president Saw American soldiers
In the. street. soldiers who had come,
not alone for war, but as crusaders In
great cause" and he added, "and I
like them, must be a crusader, what
ever it costs to accomplish that end"
Peace Must Be Secure am
After declaring that the conference
was for the purpose, of a settlement
arising out of the war and to make
peace for the world, President Wilson
said:
"A league Of nations seems necessary
for both purposes. There are many
questions which we feel cannot ulti.
mately be worked out here. that may
require subsequent considerations, sub
jsequent- alterations even to some de-
gree"
The first signs of division in the
conference was when 1t proceeded to
consider the four resolutions framed
by the council Of the great powers,
providing for committees on labor;
responsibility for the war, PREPARATION
for dam rges and ports, railways and
waterways.

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
KiidlleYs
By DoCToR WATSON.


People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
Few people understand the dangers Of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have duty
Of vital Importance to perform, and il they
are diseased, there Is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they ara
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where. and one Of these poisons il uric
acid. The uric acid Is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form If urate salts--in the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
seiatica and backache. Finally, come stone
IN the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain eombina-
tion Of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate saltal in the system. lie found this
combination to be harmless, so that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolves sugar. IF you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets. which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tel you what to eat and
how To live so that more uric acid will mot
form in your system. Dr.. Pierce will not
charge for this advice.
