How to Treat
 A Torpid Liver

The liver is the largest and the most important organ in the body, and when the liver refuses to act, it causes cons tipation, biiousness headaches, indges tion, gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery. diarrhoea, pains in back and under shoulder blades and under ribs right side. These symp- toms lead to colds, influenza other se- rlous troubles unless corrected immediately.
 An inactive liver places an extra burden causes the blood to absorb and carry into the system the impurities that the liver and 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 laxatives do not go far enough. If you would treat your kidneys and blood while treating the liver you would put your entire system in order and frequent purgatives would then be unnecessary.

HOUSE RENTS ID
 BE INVESTIGATED
Civic Association Appoints Committee to Investigate
 Profiteering, If Any

For the purpose of Investigating the reports of profiteering on the part of house owners with the view of asking the City Commission to take steps in the matter, if the conditions warrant it, a committee of seven was appoint ed yesterday by E. B. Irwin, president of the Civic Association.
 Many complaits by tenants that ex- orbitant rents are being asked when they try to renew their present leases are coming to the attention of the Civic Association. At the last meeting Of the board of directors, the question was taken up and the president was empowered to appoint a committee to look into the situation.
 The committee is composed of the following, the majority of whom arc neither landlords nor tenants. but home owners: Judge William E. Fort, chair man; A. w. B. Johnson, D. H. Harts- field, Dr. J. E. billiard, J. H. Frye. Mar tin J. Lyde and Hugh Martin.
 The initial meeting of this committee is scheduled for Friday. They have been given the power to look into the situation and hear the complaints of tenants of alleged rent profiteering. If, in their opinion the condition war rants it, they will go before the City Commission and ask that the mayor appoint a committee who will adjust the difficulties between the tenants and house owners.

The position of Manager 0. L. Bum is that the railroads should be accorded what the law has declared that they should have and no more. The law specifics such rates as will produce net revenue of F to 6 per cent.

OFFER OF OPERATORS

The question is not one of coal, for the operators along the Southern rail- way have offered to absorb any deficit in the railway fuel supply resulting from equal distribution of cars. The prices quoted are materially below the market price, but the Southern railway officials decline even to negotiate for coal except upon the basis of a prefer entiaI and discriminatory car supply. This policy i threatening break down in the coal industry, as car shortage is a permanent condition, and the Southern railway, assured of its own fuel coal at depressed prices through the life and death" power of "as- signed" cars, is not taking those radi cal steps to meet the situation which it's great gravity demands. It suffers no penalty for inadequate car supply. slow repairs and slow movement and return of coal cars; and reduced shop forces, and the large number of bad- order cars testify to the indifference which the "assigned' car basis en- ccurages.
 The operators committee is making formal report to the interstate com .merce commission on the May IA con ference with the Southern railway, and is requesting advice as to what reme- dial action, if any, the interstate com reerce commission will take.

RECOGNIZE MENDATION

The bituminous coal commission ap- pointed by the President to investigate and recommend ways and means of sat- isfying the demands of mine labor which resulted in the country wi le coal strike of November i. 1919, embodied in their report of March 10. 1920, to the President (which report incidentally granted the 27 per cent wage increase) specific recommendation that coal cars be divided equally between coal mines:
 gro the end that no particular
 mine or mines may be permitted to
 obtain preferential car service
 through the use. by railways pug
 chasing agents, of their power to
 obtain railway fuel at reduced
 prices through the guaranteeing of
 car supply to favored mines or to
 operators with whom the railway
 may have fuel contracts.
 "We make this recomm endation
 because we find that the practice md abuse of car guarantees has
 initiated against the interests of
 the general public by contributing
 t0 the irresuiarity of operation of
 mines not having such preferential
 contracts. At the same time it
 has resulted in an unfair competi-
 ticve advantage to those mines that
 secured such contracts"
 NotwithstaQding this situation, the Southern railway has felt constrained to take advantage of the commissicn's s declaration of an emergency. and, after notice, put the assigned" car basis into effect on April 22. The in terstate commerce commission, in our formal hearing May 5, indicated little disopsition to modify its finding of a general emergency according to the special conditions of the several coal fields, but did urge that the matter be worked out by conference between the Southern railway and the coal opera tors.
