There can be no doubt, however, that
the main reason for the high prices OF
food articles is the shortened supply. We

but thero are no such evidences Of over
whelming supplies ms were visible in
normal times. At times, no doubt, prices
have been maintained at high level by
boarding for speculative purposes, but
experiences in this line, by reason of pro-
hibitive laws and sudden collapscs OF
profit-making schemes, have been dis
astrous on numerous occasions, and it is
doubtful if illegitimate storage will be
resorted to extensively hereafter.
The plain fact of the situation is that

MAKING A MISTAKE.

The brotherhoods are making a serious
mistake IN opposing this bill They should
take the broad view and support what is
conceded to be TO the best interests of the
nation rather than suggest that the ma
tloDal interests be held in abeyance while
their special interests be given first con-
sideration.
Their demands for higher wages are
based upon the claim that present earn
lngs are out of proportion to the increased
cost of living and are lower than those of
men engaged in similar work in other
lines of industry. If that claim is. sound.
what better facilities for substantiating il
could he desired than a board appointed
under authority of the law to consider
just such questions?
Would it be wise or fair TO postpone
the readiustment of industry and force the
federal government TO continue paying
huge sums out of the treasury to make
up the deficit in railroad earnings while
the brotherhoods argued their demand
Tor Increased wages?
This railroad bill is believed to meet
the conditions surrounding
the return of the properties and to. protect
the public, the workers and the owners

Obstructing Foreign Trade.

One of the first acts Of the Wilson adj
ministration that met with the unqualified
approval Of the business men of the nation,
especially those whs engaged in foreign
trade or expected to, was an efficient
system for the promotion and develop
ment of Americas foreign commerce.
Heretofore, so far as governmental ac-
tivities were concerned, American ex-
porters depended upon the consular re-
ports as TO trade conditions and prospects
abroad.
While good in its way, this system soon
proved its limitations. The consuls could
not be expected to be business experts,
and their information often failed in the
very points that were necessary for the
exporter to know in order to successfully
compete with foreign manufacturers.
This void was filled by the American
commercial attaches, men trained in
business ways, American business ex-
pansion possibilities and foreign con
sumers' peculiar demands. When the
commercial attaches issued bulletins on
new sales fields, described the kinds of
goods wanted, how they should he packed
for certain countries, their utterances were
regarded as authoritative by American
business men.
"The present Republican-controlled
Congress proposes TO destroy all this work,
and at time above all Others when
America should be in the forefront of
those nations seeking TO place their mer-
chandise before the entire world" ;" said
Representative Joseph w. Byrns, ranking
Democratic member of the House appro-
priations committee, who has fathefed |

proposition to the business men of Ameri-
ca il the bill passes as reported by the
committee Other nations are already
in the field for supplying the worlds
and we alone lag behind,
simply because some Republican leaders
fail to appreciate what their economy
will mean to American manufacturers.
The Republicans claim that our consular
agents can handle the information former
Y obtained by the trained commercial
attaches. This, of course, is an impos-
;ibility."
And so this useful and practical agency

Nature Gives a Cry for Help,
That viii Make This Winter
a Reason of Good Health
for You.

Winter and Catarrh are COM
panions in evil. Catarrh is
sweeping civilization from one
continent to another, because
civilization does not follow Ma
lures laws. Nature tells us
what to do and we pay no heed.
Down deep in the body of
man lie streams of blood, going
everywhere and making COM
plete circuits of the body every
few seconds. In these rivers,
brooks and streamlets of blood
flow millions of little soldiers
called corpuscles, whose duty it
is to heal hurts, expel the enc
mics of man-germs-from the
body and carry away Impurities.
Nature, with the blood, builds
bone and hair and teeth and
flesh. She does this so quickly
and with such absolute perfec-
ton that if we put into our
mouths and stomachs the things
the body needs, nature will dis
till her own chemicals and
build up any torn-down por-
lions.
Catarrh is a tearing down of
mucous membranes. A mucous
membrane is one of the Won
ders of science. 1t does the i'm
portant work of the body in some
lines. When it becomes diseased,
you quickly have the alarm from
nature. Catarrh, in most cases,
first warns US from a condition
of the nose and throat. These
membranes cannot do their
work. They become clogged.
Impurities form and choke
them. Decay starts, unpleasant
odors arise, gradually it spreads
until the membrane is almost
worthless. Then we learn the
fault is with the blood. There is
too much work for the cor
puscles to do-not enough to do
it. They need help.
