Reserve Board to
Censor Loans Made
To Sugar Hoarders

WASHINGTON, May 22.--Another
step designed to aid in driving down
prices of necessities, has been taken
by the Federal Reserve Board. Gov
ernor Harding is understood to have
intimated to Federal Reserve Bank
officials that they should scrutinize
carefully the paper they hold as Sc
curity for loans made to the sugar
trade to the end that more sugar
may be made available for domestic
consumption.
It was estimated that probably
$3.50, 100000 was tied UP in frozen
loans," on the sugar stocks and it
was regarded as probable that the
banks would be able to locate any
sugar stocks held for speculative
purposes and force their distribution
Reserve board officials would not
discuss Governor Harding's action
further than to say that such a move
was entirely in line with the policy
to which the support of the bankers
was pledged at the conference here
last Tuesday, at which ways and
means of preventing boarding for
speculative purposes were discuss

Sugar Hoarders to
Be Traced, Declares
Palmer's Assistant

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Sugar
hoarders will be easily traced under
evidence to be turned over to the
justice department by importers.
Howard Figg, special assistant to
Attorney General Palmer, said to-
day.
Importers agreed to supply the de-
partment with lists showing names
of purchasers of the 1920 crop and
the prices which the importers re-
ceived.
''This evidence" said Figg, should
enable the justice department to To-

them on the market.

drink manufacturers are believed to
be responsible for the sugar short

quantities of sugar for future use.

". i. TAFT WARNS
AGAINST BONUS To
EX-SERv|CE MEN
BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT

1t is to be hoped that the Republic
cans of prominence who met to con-
slider the platform in washington
exercised a useful influence upon the
congressman and senators, and made
them know how unWise is the plan
to vote a cash bonus to 100000 of
eX-service men. There is substantial
ly no demand for the bonus except
from those who are to receive it,
and it is doubtful whether a majority
of them favor it. The pinch of the
high cost of living makes every one
else except the beneficiary of the
bonus impatient at the thought of
this very heavy additional burden to
be put upon the people.
The slump1ng government bonds,
the tenseness of the situation pro-
duced by the obstruction to interstate
commerce, the tightness of money.
all the uncertainties due to threat
ened strikes should give our 1egisla
tors at Washington pause.
Right to Complain
Hundreds of thousands of men and
women were induced through the pa
triotic appeals to subscribe to gov
eminent bonds at an interest rate
much too low, and have been COM
PEELED to sell them at heavy sacri-
flee. They will certainly have a
right to complain if conditions now
are to be made worse for them in
the cost of living and greater taxa
ton by the bonus project. The times
are critical, and the voluntary as
sumption of this additional and I'M
necessary load is foolishness in the
extreme. 1t is politics gone mad.
The Republican party has been
most emphatic in denouncing waste
full extravagances on the part of the
Democratic administration, and has
urged the necessity for a change in
government in order to secure econ
omy and retrenchment With what
sincerity can the party make this
appeal if it becomes responsible for
the unnecessary expenditure of ST.
500,000,000 or $4,000, 100000?
Hope for Veto
All but the ex-service men and
great many Of those will hope, if
the bill passes the two houses, that
the president will veto it, as he
ought. If we may judge from the
evidence of the secretary of the treas
ury, he will advise the president to
do so.
Can it be that those who were
pressing this bill are themselves
hoping that by pushing it through
they can secure the favor of the
benef1ciaries, and then by the veto
can avoid its burden, putting the po-
litical responsibility for its defeat
on the administration. Such poll
tics would be contemplate; such a
theory is incredible; but the Repub-
licans who favor the bonus will ex-
pose themselves to such a charge in
the face of the present financial and
business crisis. The majority party
in each house should do the right and
the just thing and let the bonus bill
die

The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,

colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected inlme-
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system
kidneys have failed to eliminate.
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble, and that is why you have
to take purgatives every few
nights. Calomel or other ordinary
you would treat your kidneys and
blood while treating the liver, you
would put your entire system in
order and freqent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
DR.. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as DR.. Hitchcock's Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctors favorite prescrip-

TO PUT
COTTON BODY ON
BUSINESS BASIS
(The Atlanta = Journal News Bureau,

RY TIE rET.TER

WASHINGTON, May 22-Plans
for putting the American Cotton as
ISOLATION on a solid business basis
at the Atlanta meeting of the exec
uled to begin June 1, were announc-
ed here today by J. S. Wannamaker,
Of South Carolina, president of the
association.
Mr.. Wannamaker is in Washington
for conferences with southern rep
resentatives in congress regarding
legislation for improved marketing
methods. In addition to the selec-
ton of vice president and general
manager, and other officials, the
Atlanta meeting will take action for
the immediate establishment of
national publication which will have
a very large circulation from the be-
ginning. Because of the energetic
organization work that is going on
in every state, it is expected that
members, Mr.. 'Wannamaker said
Mr.. Wannamaker, accompanied by
B.. F. Mcleod. Of Charleston, and
other officials of the association, re-
Gently concluded a series of confer
ences with New York and Boston
resentatives of English spinners,
with a view to securing their CO.
operation in establishing more mod
ern methods of handling the cot
loll crop. OHuer Tie present system
of handling and marketing there is
an enormous loss, amounting, Mr..
Wannamaker says, to 5000, 100000
annually, or stated in another way,
practically one crop out of every
ten is a total loss.
At these conferences, it was con-
coded that immediate action should
be taken to eliminate great waste
resulting from antiquated methods
now obtaining in the cotton trade.
To this end pledges of support, fl
nancial and otherwise were given to
Mr.. Wannamaker and his associates.
The committe on insurance of the
association, Of which F. H. McMaster
of Columbia, S. c., is chairman, now
has under considerable plans for
the establishment of mutual COM
panies, with state decimals, such as
are in use by English and New Eng
land spinners, which, it is said, will
result in the savings of millions of
dollars to the producers.
Another important phase of the
associations work is that Of direct
marketing, which is in charge of a
special committee headed by D. S.
Murphy, of South Carolina, an ex-
pert in the United States depart
ment of agriculture. This question
is being given careful study with
eign markets. Senator Smith, of
South Carolina, who is cooperating
with the association, has caused an
investigation to be begun by the
state department, through it's con-
su1ar officers abroad, for the pur-
pose of obtaining data as to mar
ket conditions in foreign countries.

Is Your Blood Starving
For Want of Iron?
Iron is Red-Blood Food Nuxated Iron Helps
Put Roses Into the Cheeks of Women and
Gives Strength and Energy to Men

If you were to go without eating until you
become weak, thin and enlaciated, you could
not do more serious harm to yourself than
when you let your blood literally starve for
want of iron-iron that gives it strength and
power to change food into living tissue,
muscle and brain. Without plenty of iron
in the blood, no matter how much or what
you eat, your food simply passes through you
without doing you any g0od-you don't get
the strength out of it and instead of being
filled with youthful strength and energy you
are weak, nervous and all rundown. If you
are not strong or we'll you owe it to yourself
to make the following test: See how long
you can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next.take two FIVE
grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three
times per day after meals for two weeks,
then test your strength again and see how
much you have gained. Numbers of nervous,
rundown people who were ailing all the
while have most astonishingiy increased their
strength and endurance simply by taking
iron in the proper form. But don't take the
old kinds of iron simply to save few cents.
You must take iron in form that can be
easily absorbed and assimlated like Nux-
ated Iron if you want it to do you any good.
otherwise it NAV prove worse than useless.
You can procure Nuxated Iron from your
druggist on an absolute guarantee of salts
faction or YOUR money will be refunded.
