PAlMER'S ANTtRED
MEASURE REJECTED
Senate Committee Tables Dras-
tice Bill Fathered by
Justice Head.

Proposed ahti-sedition legislation,
submitted to the Senate by Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer, has been
abandoned by the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
The Sterling bill having the same
purpose in view, will be substituted
in its stead
The. judiciary Committee voted in
executive session to let the Palmer
draft. introduced for the Attorney
General by Senator Nelson, chairman
of the committee. lay on the table,
according to information made public
by members of the committee todav.
The anti-red program of the Senate
is well defined. Action will be taken
on the various measures as soon as
the railroad bill is passed This Is
the plan of the Republican leaders.
The Johnson bill, passed by he
House and now on the Senate calen-
dar, is another of the anti "red'
measures. 1t provides for the de-
portation of all aliens who were con-
victed of violating the various laws
passed during the war to protect
American interests.
The action of the Judiciary Com
fnlttee IN taDllng the Dill from the
Attorney Generals Department gives
the Senate a definite idea as to the
program which it is to consider.
The Sterling bill provides that "it
shall be unlawful for any person to
advise the overthrow. by writing or
in any other manner. by force or via
lence, of the Government of the
United States or ali government" 1t
prohibits the exhibition of the REF
flag or any emblem denoting a move
ment for the overthrow OF the gov
ernment by force.
1t prohibits sending through the
mails any literature advocating the
overthrow OF the Government by
force. Senator Borah will lead ,he
opposition to the provision for the
restriction OF the use of the mails. He
contends that present laws prohibit
the advocation of violence, and tina.
they should be used instead of pro-
visions which he believes would grant
an unrestricted censorship of publ.ca-
tions to the Postmaster General.
The "sidetracking" of the Palmer
anti-sedition bill by the Senate COM
mittee does not come as a surprise.
When the bill was introduced, Se.-
ate Nelson expressed his displeasure
with its terms.

If Thin and Nervous
Try BitIo-Ph0sphate

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle causes
in different individuals, it is a well
known fact that the lack OF phos-
phorous in the human system is very
largely responsible for this condition.
1t seems to be we'll established that
this deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may
now be met by the use of Bitro-
Phosphate, which can be obtained from
the Peoples Drug stores in Washing
ton and any good druggist in convent
ent tablet form.
In many instances the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces welcome change
nerve tension disappears, Nigor and
strength replace weakness and lack of
energy and the whole body loses its
ugly holIows and abrupt angles, be-
coming enveloped in a glow of perfect
health and beauty and the will and
strength to be up and doing.
CAUTION:-White Bitro-Phosphate
Is unsurpassed for the relief of ner.
vousness, general debility, etc, those
taking IL who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care In avoid ing

fine planes and there was an argument
as to whether or not they were oetteI

t;ful and the workmanship on Inc
nlanes was simply fine. These planes
were a part of the number gwen over
70 the Allies as part of the fulhllmeni
NJ the terms of the armistice, and they
were in good shape. There nave oeeh
a number of wrecked German planes
sent back here for salvage, but they

unable to tell anything much about
them, but these planes are in splendid

1t has just started to rain again, and
| suppose we are in for six weeks more
bad weather. How any one in the
world could have ever called this coun-
try Sunny France" is beyond me, I'M
less he was trying to be sarcastic.
Why, We have had more rain here in
the last two months than We have back
home in a year, and where all the water
goes is beyond me. am not so sur
prised after having seen it rain over
here that there are so many oceans
They Just can't help themselves. II
all the rain we are having is snow bacl
in the States you have been showed un-
der for some time, for there would
have been about ten feet OF snow by
this time. The rainy weather is the
most consistent thing have found over
here that and the French knack Of
separating francs from American SOL
diers. They sure have the art OF col
lecting francs from us down to
science, and by the time the end OF
the month comes around there Is
scarcely enough money in the com
PAW to buy cigarettes. Tomorrow be-
ing payday, tonight I'll wager there
are not five hundred francs in the COM
PAW, and tomorrow some twenty thou'
sand francs will be given to the hum
dred and twenty-five men we nave
and this time next month ii Will all Dc
back with the French, and we will have
nothing TO show for it. A tive-fran'
note, worth dollar in real money
does not seem as much as quarter
hack home, and none of us looks upon
this French money as being any good
and for that reason We don't take care
of it. If an article, no matter how
small and cheap, does not cost live
francs or more we wonder what thai
trouble is and look for the Joker
When we first came over you could buy
the town almost for five francs, and
now you can't turn around for that
amount. Everything has increased in
value until you wonder what the French
lived on before we came over here. J
wonder what they. will do when We all
get out Of the country and they dom
have our easy money to collect. Some
of them are sure going to have to &C
to work. Tonight perhaps five PEI
cent of the company went to town, thu
average being small because money
is scarce. Tomorrow night ninety PEI
cent will visit the city and do theil
best to get rid of their money, and j
is a mighty easy job. But then we get
it easy and it is sure, so we let go OF
it just as easily.
There goes taps, and | must hit the

YESTERDAY the Acting Secretary
Of State, Frank L. Polk, officially pro-
claimed that sufficient number Of
States have ratified the national pro-
hibition amendment and it is now Z
part Of the Constitution OF the United
States.
Not only have the necessary thirty
six States, or three -fourthS majority o.
the forty-eight, ratified, but there is
plenty to spare. Forty-two in all have
given their endorsement, Vermont and
New York having ratified yesterday
New York-think OF it! goes or
record as favoring dry nation. In all
probability at least three more States
will ralify.
The amendment will 60 into effect or
January 10, 1920, the date when the
3eth State ratified. After that time the
national and State governments will
unite in prosecuting all persons who
attempt to manufacture, sell, trans

liquors-
The greatest reform in the history OF

about, and the people so generally ap-

THERE is strong tendency to much
lower food prices in foodstuffs OIL
various sorts, and reports from Chicago
show that the wholesale prices in but.
ter, eggs, cheese, poultry and Other
supplies have dropped materially in the
past two weeks. There has been com.
paratively little reductionin retail rates
as jobbers and retailers are trying
to hold up prices. but the drop is bound
to come. Indeed, buyers who last yeaI
learned to economic in food as well
as in other ways, prefer TO continue
their sacrifice rather than pay the out
rageouS and abnormal prices that are
demanded so unnecessarily.
The people can beat the prohteers
every time if they will only stand BY
their principles and undergo a little
self-denial.
