leans. II is provided that they be dis.
continued at the close OF the present
calendar year.
There is, however. a growing senti-
ment that the subtreasuries should be
abolished In the interests OF economy.
Salaries OF the officials would thus be
saved, and the civil service employees
would be transferred to the Federal Re-
serve system.
Representative Platt. Of New York,
chairman OF the House committee on
banking and currency, offered an
amendment to the measure to provide
legislation for the continuation Of the
subtreasuries' work as provided for In
q bill now before the committee.
This was objected to by Representa-
tive Ware, who deplored the attach
ment to an appropriation bill Of legis-
lation transferring the snbtreasuries
from a purely government basis to the
management Of tho Federal Reserve
board, 'semiprivate corporation"
The resolution was germane, it wa,
the contention of Mr.. Plntt, as the
transfer would save the government
money. It was questioned by Repre-
sentative Mann whether the House hat
the right to enact new legislation or
a supply bill.
It was ruled by Representative Long
worth, in the chair, that the amend.
ment was in order, as it was designed
| to save the government money.

Texas Lady Suffered With Pulling
and Aching Pains in Her Back,
-Jhich Cardui Relieved.

Esnston. Texas.-Mrs. c. D. Cook, OF
1912 Witty Street. this city, recently
said: About four months after my
marriage. began suffering much
PAN, and knew that my condition was
unusual. but couldn't just decide what
was wrong. I had to go to bed. :.
All across my back and hips were
pains. pulling and aching until I could
hardly sit up. I stayed IN bed few
days. My husband had heard of Car.
dui :. SO I told him he might get It.
After I had taken Cardui a few
days. i was up. took five bottles and
haven't been in bed since for this
trouble. for If I have the least symp-
soms Of this trouble get Carduf and
take it in time.
81 have a number OF friends who
have used Cardui. and they recommend
1t very highly"
The experience Of this Texas lady
is similar to that related by thousands
OF other romen.
Cardui Is purely vegetable, and mild
and gentle in its action. Carduf may 4

Bread Is Scarce At Is
Cents A Loaf In England
(By associated Press)

Lodon, Sept. 18-With bread
selling at Is cents a loaf and soon
to be raised to 80 cents and later
perhaps to IS cents, England is
harvesting this season the small
est wheat crop since the early
days of the war. Production of
barley, on the other hand, will
show a material increase over
that of the last few years. =. :.
The reasons for this state of aft
fairs, according to Prof James
Long, we'll known agricultural
expert, are government control
and beer. The price of wheat and
are oats are regulated, but no re-
strictions has been placed on that
of barley AS the market price
of barley is exceptionally high.
farmers planted that grain instead
of wheat and oats.
Prof. Long shows that since
1913 wheat has been reduced by
5000 Oacres, Or more than one
third of the present area. while
oats ,als an important bread stuff
has fallen off by $4,000 acres.
'On this basis of wheat, he says,
