The fire does not always show signs
of life but deep down in the three-foot
cone of wood ashes. embers glow. kept
alive by a sort of gum the Indians
take from trees. Many of the Chero-
KEGS believe the fire cannot die be-
cause of its being q symbol of the

On special occasions such as the
stomp dance. the harvest festival
dances and other ceremonies, the en-
bers are famed to life and the flames
are fed with wood while braves exc

George Potato, Cherokee, is the
guardian of the fire and it is his duty
to see that the embers never die COM

TO MAKE THEM PERMANENT
Prices Cannot Go Back To Former
High Levels Declares Einancier.

Washington, May 24.-A permanent
reduction in cost of living will result
from price cutting sales in many parts
Of the country. according to Represen-
tative Corden Hull. Tennessee, one of
the best informed men in congress on
finance and economics.
81 expect there will be reaction of
slightly higher prices following the
present price cutting wave" Hull said
today, but in general I believe the
cost of commodities will be placed on
a lower level.
THE cost OF living will not tumble
as fast as we might hope for, because
of the conditions thruout the world.
As long as there are sink holes here
and there. which must be filled with
food and other commodities, business
and trade will not be on a. normal ba-
sis and the delay in readjustment will
have a checking effect on falling
prices"
Hull said he expects food to remain
high while clothing and other COM
modities will be sold at lower levels.

CANVASS FOR INSTRUMENTS.
John E. Dillon Working for Band for
Industrial School

No music and 240 boys who want
some; that's the situation at the Boys
Industrial school. The school has not
the money to buy instruments for a
band. ~
With the idea of securing instru-
ments for a boys band at the school,
John F. Dillon started today to can
vass Topeka. Among the instruments
needed are comets, snare drums,
trombones, saxaphones, clarinets, a
bass drum and other band instruments.
Twenty-Five of the lads have had
some musical training. There is a
musician at the school who will train
them when the instruments are Sc
cured. 1t is believed there are a large
number of persons in Topeka owning
musical instruments who have no fur
Their use for them.
Capt. w. P. MacLean, superintend-
ent of the school, is much interested
in the project He declares that if the
instruments are secured soon, a band
will be provided at the school that will
be a creditable addition to parades
and celebrations held at Topeka, be-
sides giving the boys what they have
long desired

ish food administrator, said in an in
terview today.
THE peak of consumption has not
been reached and will not be reached
until Russia and central Europe have
been restored to a peace time basis,
obtain credits and begin to bid on the
worlds markets" he said The
world has not yet awakened from the
delusion prevalent at the time of the
signing of the armistiee, that there
would be an immediate return to nor
NAL conditions.
Consumption of all commodities
has increased, whereas there has been
no increase in production England s
production has materially increased
since the armistice but the production
of the world has not increased. Pro-
duction in the United States showed a
general decline in 1919.
Under these conditions, prices can
not fall far, since cereals control prices
and form the greater part of the diet
of the worlds workers. Until the
supply is increased, food, wages and
commodities will continue to be high.
Regarding the restoration of pro-
duction. 1 am optimistic. Signs of
production are increasing but such
things are cumulative"

Sleepless Nights Caused by
Tormenting Skin Diseases

as all other forms of ski diseases,
come from a disordered condition of
the blood. They must be cured
through the blood. and this explains
why local treatment fails so absolutely.
The radical and rational treatment
is to take a thorough course of S. S. S.,
the purely vegetable blood remedy,
which thoroughly cleanses the blood
of every particle of impurity. A few
bottles of S. S. S. will rout the disease
germs from your blood, your complex
ion will begin to clear up and you will
soon be rid of the disease as thousands
of others have.
Get a bottle at the drugstore to-
day, write to our head physician, who
will gladly give you full medical advice
without charge. Address Medical Di-

On January l. 1913 the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) was paying $1.44 per
barrel for crude delivered at the refinery
at Whiting, Ind, and selling gaso-
line for 1411c per gallon.
On December 81, 1919, the price of crude
had advanced to 1851 per barrel f. o. b.
Whiting and the selling price of gasoline
to 21c per gallon.
In other words this Company is paying
two and one-half times much for crude
oil as it was In 1918, but because of its
more efficient refining methods it is able
to sell gasoline to you for less than one
half more than was charged at that time.

ing how effectually refining efficiency
has operated in behalf of the motoriSt
Every cost entering into the making of
gasoline has risen immensely. The cost
of crude, the cost of refining, and the
cost Of marketing are all greater than
ever before.
The Standard Oil Company lIndiana) by
superior efficiency in every process of
refining and distributing has contributed
in no small degree to hold the price of
gasoline down to its present level. Every
man in the manufacturing end of the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is
keenly alive to the pressing necessity
for an increased output of gasoline at a
minimum manufacturing cost.
The ideal toward which the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) is striving, is to put
