More Than One Hundred Per Gent.
Profit on Some Commodities
Beacham May Be Fair Price
Commissioner

The Orlando Reporter-Star says:
"John A. Chumbley, connected with
the special department Of justice in
Washington and a personal represent
ativ of Howard Figg, Of the division
of the high cost of living, and per-
sonal representative Of Attorney Cen
eral Michael Palmer, was visitor
in Orlando yesterday and today. In
an interview with reporter, Mr.
Mr.. Chumbley said he had made a
tour of Florida and found that profit
teering had been carried on in many
cities of the state. In many places he
found a profit was being charged as
high as 100 per cent. He said the de-
partment was prepared to take dras-
tic measures in the matter and that
an extensive campaign would be
started at once and a fair price COM
missioner appointed with full author
ity to act. This commissioner will
investigate all cases, having full au-
thority to punish to the full extent Of
the law.
"Mr Chumbley called on United
States District Attorney Phillips, Of
Tampa, and Braxton Beacham, of this
city, who was state food administra-
tor during the war. Mr.. Chumbley
said Mr.. Beacham had given such sat
isfaction in his work under Hoover he
was trying to get him to take the po-
sition of fair price commissioner, but
that Mr.. Beacham was holding this
under advisement and had not given
his decisiio in the matter
"Mr. Chumbley paid high tribute to
Mr.. Beacham's work and said he was
most anxious for him to assume the
duties of fair price commissioner.

GRAND RELIEF
FROM CATARRH
Mr.. Bailey Says Every One Can Get

ties of Dreco Fixed Him Up Fine
Also Took the Ache Out OF His Rheu-
matism and Banished a Severe Case
of Constipation

i've found out from my own ex-
perience that ii is foolish for people
to be annoyed eny longer by catarrh.'
said Mr.. W. A. Bailey Of 619 W. Bay
St., Jacksonville, Fla.
Il know what it Is to hawk and
spit and try to clear your nose.
throat and head for a couple ofhours
every morning. l know what it is to
have a constant dripping into your
throat, that keeps me constantly try
ing to clear it out. I also know what
heavy breathing and unsound sleep
catarrh causes, and the head noises,
too.
But l also know after trying lots
OF remedies, what will go right to the
sLeat Of trouble and overcome these
annoying symptoms. Dreco will do it..
Dreco did it for me, and it's foolish
for people to suffer like this when this
grand medicine is within the reach of
everyone.
"Dreco also relieved bad case Of
aching rheumatic joints; got my bow
els to acting regular every day,
whereas before used to be severely
constipated. This is>a great medicine
and I strongly advise sufferers to
give it trial. >
The only way to get rid Of catarrh
is through the blood. Dreco is taken
up by the blood very quickly, carried
to the weakened membranes and re-
stores them to healthy condition.
That's the secret Of Dreco's power
over catarrh.
All good druggists now sell Dreco
and it is being especially introduced
in Lakeland by Jewetts Drug Store.

She is obtaining some satisfaction. at least, in the courts and the decision of the supreme Court that she has q. right to present her case, questioning the validity of the amendment, is a recognition of state rights which the court could scarcely afford to ignore. even though it may hc accounted small preliminary victory. II would he q surprising thing indeed were the court to find that the amendment was invalid. probably as much so to Ehidc island as to the rest Of us. but there will bc many questions as to the priNi Ice;cs of l state W hich will he settled iu the argument.
 The smallest state is distinctly avcrsc to national prohibition as it was brought about. It not only re- fused to rutiry the amendment. as did Connecticut, but went on record as faNOrinG a court fight over the mat ter. The voters of the state back ed their principals. the members of the legislature. in the opposition and the argument is being carried 10 it's con clusion.
