CREDIT WILL co
FOR FOOD RELIEF

Washington, Jan. 30.-Republican
members of the house ways and
means committee in conference late
today informally agreed to favor
authorizing the treasury to extend
additional credits of $5O,OO0,OO0 to
certain European countries for food
relief.
Poland, Armenia and Austria
were included in the original pro-
iposal of Secretary Glass, since sup
ported in a letter from President
Wilson, for credits of $150.000,000
later reduced to $125, 100000 by Mr..
Glass.
Leading Democratic committee
men, including Representatives
Kitchen, North Carolina, and Garner,
Texas, who were among the first to
suggest the $50,OO0,000 as maxi
mum authorization, are counted on
by the Republican members to sup
port the $5O,OOO,OOO loan, which al
so has the approval of some men,
bers of the Republican steering COM
mittee.
While no agreement was attemp-
ted at either of the conferences to
determine whether . the legislation
shall specify the countries to get the
loans, some effort in this direction
may be made at the ways an means
committee meeting tomorrow.

AS TO BOIL WEEVIL MACHINES

Clemson College, Jan. 29.-There
considerable demand for testing
different methods and machines for
catching or controlling the boil wee
vii. While a great number of solu-
ions and mechanical devices have
been tested during the last twenty
years, so far none has been found
practical, says Prof. A. F. Conradi,
recognized authority on the boil
weevil. The fact, however, that these
have been failures does not guaran-
tee that some practical contrivance
may not be devised.
Frequently farmers purchase too
quickly the devices that are offered
for sale. Those who have had the
longest experience with these inven-
tions have learned to proceed
cautiously.
While the Division of Entomology
of Clemson College is glad at all
times to cooperate with any well
meaning person or firm in trying a
new method or machine, it distinctly
withholds any opinions until the
tests have been completed and the
results clearly shown. If methc!
has merit it will be supported, and
if it has not merit it will be so re-
ported. Tests made this spring can
not be reported on until we know
the production of pounds of seed
cotton druing the fall. A machine
may do many and interesting things,

One great epoch in the worlds his

one of the landmarks of human pro-

prohibition of the liquor traffic.
Through the ages millions and ten
millions have gone down in dis
honored drunkards' graves, millions
and tens of millions of widows and

of President Wilson, in statement
in an Italian paper:
President wilson from the begin
ming of the conflict felt it would
give him opportunity to transform
the United States from an\industrial
to commercial and to shape Euro
pean markets with view to securing
control of them. He thought to at
tain this contest by imposing peace
on the belligerents, but Germany,
with her obstinate provocations
dragged him into the war with
hope that she might become arbiter
when peace finally came.

thing that would relieve me Of my
suffering, but everything failed until
I got Tanlac," she continued. I had
indigestion so bad that nearly every
bite | ate soured on my stomach and

eating feeling in my chest that it cut
my breath off. My head ached nearly
all the time and l had a pain across

nervous that the little sleep / man

I felt worn out all during the day
and was so weak l could hardly do
my homework.
at was no time after l began TAX
ing Tanlac until my troubles started
leaving me and I was sleeping better,
and / knew by that I had at least
found the right medicine. And now
I am happy to say that Tanlac has
built me up wonderfully and l am
enjoying better health than / have in
years. I don't have to worry over
what l can eat now because every
thing agrees with me perfectly and 1
never have a touch of indigestion. I
am free from constipation and head
aches and pains in my back have all
left me; my nerves are so steady 1

Looking to the time when coal de-
posits may be exhausted, they are

With the price of petroleum dis
TILED gasoline soaring, they are max
ing public a new process of distilling
this precious commodity from natural

A method Of de-inking printed

put forth as q future solution Of the

There is a new anaesthetic, contain
ing the pain killing qualities of NOR
phinc and other narcotics, but which
leaves the patient with no longing
for additional doses, thus eliminating,
they say, much of the drug habit

They have found a substitute for

And among many, many others, a
practical use for the gases Uncle Sam
manufactured to shoot at the Ger

gases will hit Germany anyhow, as
the phosgene gases are being used to
make blue and green dyes and for
bleaching sand to make fine optical
glass-both of which industries were
formerly Germany's pre-eminently.
The range of the researches is from
how to make chickens grow to I'M

mountains with high explosives.
The new gasoline has been so per-
fected that there are TO- companies
in Pittsburg and Dill City, Pa, MAX

ector of the society. Natural gas
that comes from the wells is distilled
to gasoline. Then there is the new
liquid coal. 1t is made from coal
dust, suspended in light oil. 1t gives
out a terrific heat and is cheap. Now
it is aimed at industrial needs, but
the time will come when 1t will be
used for household purposes"
