WAR DEPARTMENT
 WASTE IS CAUSE
 OF H. l.. COST

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 30.---Beief that to "a large degree the present high cost of living is due to the waste of the war department and tkp foraard ing of ship loads of food to France" was expressed by Representative Frank Reaves, of Nebraska, address ing the annual Hove feast of Kansas Republicans here last night.
 He charged that foodstuffs valued at millions of dollars were t'delib- erately permitted to spoiP' while ship loads of supplies bought in this coun- try at peak market prices were sold abroad as astounding discounts.''
 Tt may interest you to know he said, that twenty odd million dollars worth of food was taken from a. Bal timore warehouse at government ex- pense, shipped to the docks at New Y ork with this government paying the freight transported to France with this government paying the bill, un- I loaded and shipped to warehouses where we had s2Oo 900, eco worth of
 the same food supply and no army to eat it.
 The loss the government suffered through deterioration will never be l known

METRIC SYSTEM
 WOULD RESULT
 IN HUGE LOSS
Business Would Be Thrown Into State of Chaos By
 New System

If the bill introduced by Senator Shafforth of Colorado, which pro vides for the compulsory adoption ot the Metric System of Weights and Measures in the United States; is en- acted, industry in this country will suffer losses of billions of dollars anu will be thrown into a state of chaos
 that would result in practical para lysis.
 The propaganda which has been
 directed by proponents of the Me
 tric System while insidious and fal-
 1acious, has been widespread and sue cessfu1 insofar as it has induced various chambers of commerce and seni-trade bodies to pass resolutions favoring the adoption of the system and to forward them to Congress. These organizations do not, how ever, represent the manufacturer who is the one actively concerned in the issue. In fact, it is doubtful whether manufacturers as a whole fully realize that this danger has reached such a menacing status.
 Transition from our present stand | ards to those of the Metric System would mean the Introduction of a dual standard as has been the case ir other countries where the change has been made. Results would be exactly l the opposite of those claimed by it's | advocates p1exity instead of sim ! p1icity, confusion instead of order | and diversity instead of uniformity. i Not only would there be confusion
 and loss through the necessity of con l verting from one standard to the | other in commercial transactions, put ] 1t would require complete new eu1in- l ment in many forms of measuring
 equipment, tools, gauges, and innum-
 erable articles of manufacture, not to l speak of changes in designs, plans ! etc.
 Advocates of the Metric System | argue on the advantages of a uniform l world system, but this disappears in l the face of the fact that it's adop-
 tion has in no country brought about
 a uniform system in domestic affairs. l while in most countries 1t has been | a grotesque failure. The most favor
 able result has been nothing more l than a partial change, the old system l continuing in use along with the
 new, and leading to nothing but hope
 less complexity, confusion and dis.
 order.
 If the Metric System had possessed
 any merit, it would have been pu
 into use in this country long ago
 y force of law but by that O. l expedience. The very fact that tn, ] people of the United States have de clined to avail themselves of it's prin ciples and to abandon the system t which they are accustomed, shoult } justify the denial of the passage 0 E a law to enforce it's adoption. l Whatever the nature and purpos of this metric propaganda that is S Z effectively making it's impression i s this country, it behooves every Amer ican citizen to realize the influenc such an enactment would have upo s American life and industry, and | s act accordingly lest we learn it's re A suits when it is too late, as has bee z the case with other forms of insidiou 5 l propaganda.

CatarrhhI Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditlon, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an intlamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous services of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

1t had apparently learned every mum
ber almost by heart and responded to
the indicated wishes Of the conductor.
MIR. Nicola A. Montani, with an enthu :
siasm and spautaneity which indicated
not only long and hard rehearsals. but
also. what is much more rare. that the
rchearsals had been eagerly and intelli- :
gently participated in by the members
Of the choir Mr.. Montani led all the
works with care that betokcncd deep
and sympathetic study. although he is
inclined to overaccentuate the sforzan +.
dos thus giving an occasional ''choppy'
effect which is not altogether in keeping
with the dignity Of the music Of the
pre- classic masters.
The program included work Of Pales-
trina. Nittoria and Mclchior Franck
from the ancieDts, one Chorale by
Sebastian Bach. who must be classed as
a perenially young composer: Mozart
and Schubert from the classics, Caesar
Franck from the modern French and
Monsignor Casimiri and Mr.. Montani
himself from those composers still living.
In program so diversified in style
and so different in musical and tcmpera-
mental characteristics It is both useless
and unnecessary to go into detail. All
the works were well sung and well con
