SENATE HEARING
OF GR0NNA BILL
Grain Exchange Committee
Protest Measure to Lift
Guaranteed Wheat
Price.

Representatives of the Omaha
,r:ain exchange at 10 a. m yesterday
attended hearing before the SEN
ate agricultural committee at Wash
ington, d. C., upon the Gronna bill,
which provides for the lifting of the
governments guaranteed prices on
wheat. ".."
Local grain men hope for the de-
feat Of the measure, since the in
tluence of the government guarantee
to farmers on the 1919 crop might
carry wheat prices down. Accord
ingly, the executive board instructed
o. NJ. Smith. president of the Grain
exchange to appoint committee of
three to attend the hearing.
J. A. Liuderholm, S. S. Carlisle
and f. P. Peck were selected by
President Smith to represent this
exchange ..
Mr.. Smith said yesterday that he
did not expect special report from
the committee upon the situation un-
Ill its return, and that perhaps the
first information that will be received
: here will be news dispatch of the
action taken by the senate agricul-
tural committee after the hearing.
The Omaha committee is also
expected to make efforts to obtain
Hines of the railroad administration
relative to- his order prohibiting
shipments of corn out of Omaha
from February 8 to Is.
Terminal grain elevators of this
section have been congested as a
result of this order, according to
Mr.. Smith. But since the order
will automatically expire on We'd
nesday, it is not believed that the
Omaha committee will obtain any
earlier relief.
Mr.. Smith states that while the
market was weak for several days
after the order became effective, it
has been growing gradually
stronger. He anticipates receipts
much heavier than normal for a
week or 10 days Immediately fol-
lowing the expiration of the order.
Much empty railroad equipment has
been returned to country districts
for removal of surplus stocks.
Urge Fixed Price.
Washington, Feb. lo.-Protests
against the Gronna bill, which seeks
to terminate at once the existence
of the United States Grain corpor-
alton, were heard by the senate
agricultural committee Monday
from western farmers organizations
and associations of grain traders.
The bill would have the effect of
weakening the guaranteed price on
wheat, the witness said. Farmer
representatives urged new legisla-
ton to extend the $2.2o guaranteed
price for year or more beyond

MAY HEAR WATER
BOARD ON PRICE
FOR GAS PLANT
Four Votes In City Council
Now Claimed for and
Against Proposition.

City Commissioner Towl yester-
Gay announced that he is with Com
missioners Zimman and Ure on the
matter of rejecting the gas plant ap-
praisal of $4,500,000
Commissioner Ringer is not ready
to commit himself definitely. beyond
the statement that he believes the
appraisal is too high.
Commissioners Zimman and Ure
express confidence that there will
be four votes to reject the appraisal,
Mayor Smith is just as confident
that there will be four votes to ap-
prove.
II have no doubt but that when
the times comes there will be four
votes to buy the plant at the ap-
praised valuation" the mayor said.
IF any commissioner is able to
obtain a lower price, there will be
no objection"
Members of the Metropolitan Wa
ter board are beginning to take a
keen interest in the gas plant situa-
ton, in view of the fact that the
board will manage the plant if the
city should purchase.
ITO buy the plant at the ap-
praised valuation of $4,500,000 and
then turn it over to us to manage"
said Fred d. Wead of the Water
board" would make it difficult for
us to make a 'howling success of
it, as we did with the water plant"
THE Water board should have a
voice in this matter" asserted City
Commissioned Ure. "as it will be

Approve Ordinance
Preventing Change Of
Power Co. Rates

The city council committee OF the
whole yesterday recommended fol
passage an ordinance offered by City
Commissioner Ure, for the regula
ton of electric light. and power
rates.
This measure provides that elec.
trio light and power rates below the
6-ceut maximum rate must not be
changed without the approval Of
the city council. The maximum
rate is not disturbed. The existing
schedule of rates below the 6-cent
rate gives the Nebraska Power
company authority to change the
steps" without going to the city
council.
Mr.. Ure's recent ordinance to re-
duce these rates, and the power
company's application to increase
the rates, met with adverse action
in the city council.

DRESS WARM and.
KEEP FEET DRY.
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter OF
age, sex, color or rank. If not the
most dangerous of human affections
it is one of the most painful. Those
subject to rheumatism should eat
less meat, dress as warmly as posi-
Bile, avoid any undue exposure and,
above all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels
and absorbed into the blood. 1t is
the function of the kidneys to filter
this acid from the blood and cast
it out in the urine; the pores of the
skin are also a means of freeing the
blood of this impurity. In damp
and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work, they be-
come weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accumulating and circulating
through the system, eventually set
tling in the joints and muscles caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain call
ed rheumatism.
At the hrSt tWlnge OF rneunlauSm
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in a glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morning
for week This is said to eliminate
uric acid by stimulating the kidneys
to normal action, thus ridding the
blood of these impurities.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and is used with excellent re-
suits by thousands of, folks who are
subject to rheumatism. Here you
have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-
water drink which overcomes uric
acid and is beneficial to your kidneys
