ASK Low RATEFOR
BUILDING SUPPLIES

Considerable agitation developed in
Washington during the past week
seeking the immediate reduction of
freight rates on building material.
Representatives of the sand. Stag,
stone and gravel industries Of the
country have asked the Department Of
Labor to assist them in preparing
their case for presentation to The Rail-
road Administration
The unanimous opinion of the rep
resentatives here last week, was that
the high freight rates, more than any
other factor, are holding back the
more extensive building projects.
They say this situation is particular
ly true in the West and central West.
They contend that if there is to be
an early resumption of general buili-
Ing and construction work, freight
rates on building material must be re-
duced and such shipping instructions
as were inauguTated to prevent the
diversions from war use of these ma
terials must be withdrawn.

REDFIELD ATTACKED
FORLANDPURCHASE

Secretary OF Commerce RedieId IS
roundly attacked in a report from
the House District Committee, made
by Chairman Ben johnson, and ap-
proved by the committee, relating to
the purchase Of 1919 acres Of land
from the Chevy Chase Land Com
pany for the Bureau OF Standards.
It is charged that the Secretary
paid an unwarranted price; that he
made evasive statements, and that iu-
cluded in the land is part of a public
highway not owned by the company
and unavailable for use because Of
a statute preventing its occupancy.
Purchased for Addition.
The land was purchased by the
Department Of Commerce for an ad-
dition to the grounds of the present
Bureau of Standards at SS1 500, or
about $3.50 per acre. Mr.. johnson
says that shortly before the pur-
chase the owners told the assessors
they would take $3.50 an acre for it.
The Secretary is criticised in the re-
port for approving the expenditure
OF such a large sum of money without
sufficient investigation.
DR.. Edward 3. Rost, chief physicist
Of the bureau, who had charge Of ne
gotiations, the report says, was clear
ly more anxious the land company
should get full value Of the land he
was assisting in purchasing. for the
Government than he was that the
Government should get a bargain"
The controversy has run along for
months. 1t started last summer when
Mr.. Johnson criticised the transaction
on the hoor of the House. Mr.. Red
field wrote a letter to Speaker Clark
justifying the deal.
Excerpts From Report.
The report of the committee says:
According to the indisputable ef-
feet of the testimony when taken as
a whole. Mr.. Redfield paid. at the
very least, $32. 900 more than the
property was worth, and $47,5O0 more
than the Chevy Chase Land Company
offered to accept for it in the state
ment filed with the board of equiliza-
tion and review in July, 1917. In ad-
dition to this, he paid $1,000 for the
part Q Van Ness street. which he
could =" use.
There can be no question that Mr..
Redfieid paid anywhere from $37, 900
1882 900 plus $4oee) to $47.5oO more
for the land than he should have
paid. Still he says he would do tho
same thing again. Judging the fu-
ture by the recklessness which ac-
companied the transaction in ques- |
tion, the committee cannot take issue
with him upon his willingness to |
repeat such g transaction.
I'm conclusion, the committee can
not but report that every material |
statement set out in the communica-
tlon Of Mr.. Redfield TO the Speaker, ]
which communication Is dated June /
20. 1918. and Is document No. 1888, Is |
not true"

CONDUCTOR SAYS he
RECLAIMED LOST GRIP

"I have regained a firm grip on
health" said James McNally, 302
Belgrade St, Phila., a p. r. II. con-
ductor. "Catarrh of the stomach
caused me n lot of suffering before
Tanlac relieved me. My stomach
became inflamed, food would not
digest but would form gas and poi
sons. now have n keen appetite,
my food digests right l sleep ele-
gantly and get up with a clear head
and throat. I actually feel 100 per
cent better-thanks to Tanlac."
Catarrh is usually detected by such
common symptoms as dropp:ngs in
the throat frequent sneezing, bad
breath, coughing of mucus, head
aches, watery eyes, imperfect diges-
Ntion, gastritis, sniffling and fullness
in the head. Tanlac was designed
to combat catarrh and to bring
about an astonishing change in the
spirits and general condition of the
victims. Tanlac is sold here by all
leading druggists.

CATARRH VANISHES
Here Is One Treatment That All Suf-
fcrcrs Cnn Rely Upon

If you want to drive catarrh and all
its disgusting symptoms from your
system in the shortest possible time,
go to your druggist and ask for a
Hyomei outfit to-day.
Breathe the air of Hyomei and let
it rid you of catarrh and chronic
head colds; it gives such quick relief
that all who use it for the first time
are astonished.
Hyomei is a pure pleasant antisep-
tic, which is breathed through the
nose and throat deep into the head
and lungs; it soothes the sore in
famed membranes, reduces swelling
and quickly heals all infiammations.
Don't suffer another day with ca
tarrh the disease is dangerous and
often ends in consumption. Start the
Hyomei treatment to-day. No stom-
ach dosing, no sprays, or douches. no
dangerous drugs or narcotics. Abso-
lutely harmless. Just breathe it
