The root OF many of the evils of
sickness is the bowels, Il very vital

A cold, fever, diseases or the like
can be remedicd at once, providing
the operation of the bowels is nor

relief can be sure it is the proper kind
Most everybody in these days of
quick action and strife, forget their

down their meals, often go to bed

St. Paul, Nov. 1s.-The supreme
court remanded the divorce case of
John Larson against Jennie Larson

AMENDMENT TO
PROHIBITION
Law PROPOSED
Recent Decision of Supreme
Court Said to Have Made
Step Necessary.

Minneapolis. Minn., Nov. l9.-
Amendment of the Volstead prohibi-
ton enforcement act may be necessary
as a result of the recent decision Of
the United States supreme court legal
izing the movement of liquor intended
for personal use, in the opinion Of the
chief framer of the acts Congressman
Andrew j. Volstead, who was III Min
neapolis Ioday
II have seen nothing but the news
paper accounts of the decision" Mr..
Volstead said, land it may not. be as
serious as 1t seemed. But the fedora!
law clearly prohibits transporta ton
of liquor, the same as the Minnesota
state law. which has been construed
n this state to prohibit movement OF
liquor except under permits for per-
mitted uses.
II think the federal enforcement
bureau has been unnecessarily strict
ps psrhaps, in refusing to issue permits
for, the movement of liquor bought fol
personal use before the act took effect
but it seems to be unwise to permit
liquor to be moved without some kine
ofsh permit.
:'M the situation seems to call fol
1t, we can easily amend the law"

Jonnart Declares Interven-

Paris. Nov. s1s.-Allied nations
probably will intervene to prevent
the return of former King Constan-
tine to the Greek. throne, says Charles
c. A.sJonnart, former French high
commissioner in Greece and at pres
ent extraordinary French ambassad dor
at the Vatican. His views on. the
situation are set forth in an inter-
view published today by the news
paper Excelsior, and a similar. opinion
is voiced by Baron M. Jonnart. an
eminent authority on Greek affairs.
Constantine" says M. Jonnart.
seems to me not only undesirable for
the allies, but quite impossible. His
return to the throne would mean that
the greater Greece off1cialdom would
be placed at the service of Germany.
1t is the right and duty of the pro-
tecting powers not to allow a Greece
that is stronger than ever to become a
vassal of Germany"

GRAIN PRICES
SMASH HEAVILY
!. DOWNWARD TODAY

2 /. 'H. & 2
Chicago. Nov. 19.-Grain prices
smashed heavily downward today
all along the line. with hogs and
provisions following suit. .5
Expected greatly enlarged pres.
sure Of offerings from the new
crop of corn appeared to be q
leading factor in emphasizing
,bearish sentiment caused by un-
settled financial and economic
conditions. As q result, before
the day was over. wheat had fall
len 2 Ia to S1.73 ia for Deccm.
ber delivery and to $1.6S Ia for
March. Corn was OF 5 cents to
06 7.8 cents for December, and
oats down to 48 5-8 cents for
May.
The severity Of the new breaks
in prices and the extent of the
accompanying selling to liquidatc
holding excited much comment.
1t was pointed out in this connec-
ton that the value of corn had
been. cut from 41.83 1.2 bushcl
to less than 20 cents inside Of
five months, whereas it was two
years after tho world war was
started before a bushcl of corn
could command an even dollar.
