WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--The post
of American Ambassador to Belgium

Under Secretary of State, and has been
accepted, to become effective upon the

Mr.. Fletcher will be succeeded in
the State Department post by Walter

PRESIDENTS personal representative and
chairman of the ont Congressional
committee on reorganization of the
government departments.
The selection of Mr.. Fletcher as Am

knowledge the President has had
for some time that the Under
Secretary Of State desired to return to

BLUES CAUSED
BY ASPARAGUS

CLEVELAND, July 28.-(By As
sociated Press Asparagus causes
"the blues" said DIR. Charles Haz-
zard, of New York City, former
president of the American Osteopath-
ic association, in a paper which he
read today at the National Osteo-
pathic convention. This is not the
fault of the asparagus, however, eX-
planned the doctor. He did not con-
denim asparagus but explained that
when it does cause 'the blues" is
is because the persons system is al
ready clogged with its own impuri-
ties. He said:
"The asparagus is the last straw
which, added to the toxic state OF
the system, produces a physical state
of the brain and nerves which is re-
Elected as "the blues" This hap
pens because the mechanistic state
of the persons physical system is
such that the organs of elimination
have not been capable of doing their
work well for such long time that
the system has become poisoned with
its own debris. But had the system
been kept always in good mechanical
condition, elimination would always
have proceeded normally, the system
would have kept clear of poisons,
and no bad effects would have fol
lowed the eating of asparagus, Tor
the normal mechanism would
readily throw off the acid of the
vegetables" ="
Mental functions, in other words,
according to the speaker are marked
ly influenced tby the condition OF
the blood. He explained this as fol
lows:
'In the struggle that mems physi-
cal organism must constantly keep
up in order to grow, function, and
keep healthy, it is always that or
ganism that is handicapped by the
presence of distractions to the free
flow of it's nerve and blood currents
that has the least chance to survive
and keep well.
"A mans mental functions cannot
keep clear and efficient and normal
unless his brain and nerves are fed
bv copious streams of pure blood.
The blood cannot be pure and circu-
late freely so long as the organs OF
| elimination are obstructed.
$50 it is that what is one mans
meat becomes another mans poison
Faulty diet is largely matter rela-
tive to the mechanical status Of the
physical body of the individual"

ATLANTA, July 28.-Stormy de-

abilshment of the tax equalization
act and the house fighting over the

OWN MARKETS
Grain Corporation Is
Launched. Stock, Wool
And Hides Next
BY R. J. GIBBONS.

CHICAGO, July 28.-American
farmers are combining here to con-
troll all their own marketing facili-
ties.
Up to date this cooperative move
ment has resulted in formation of
a $100,0O0,00G grain growers as
ISOLATION, to take charge of disposing
of the national wheat crop.
And now plans are being develop
ed for organization of cooperative
farmers livestock commission houses.
Other preparations under way call
for:
Cooperative wool markets.
Cooperative hide markets.
A committee of Is which has been
at work for the past three months
is about ready to report on steps
needed to start she livestock ex-
changes in operation.
Heading this body is c. H. Gustaf-
son, chairman, who is also president
of the United Grain Growers, Inc.
As explained by James K. How
ard, president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, ar organization
made up of most of the agricultural
lists in America, which is leading in
the movement, the purposes of the
farmer-controlled and farmer-operat-
ed groups are:
To stabilize the market SC that
farmer gets the benefit of the eco
nomic working, not the manipulate
ed working, of the law of supply
and demand.
To obtain the farmers demanded
cooperative rights.
To lessen the cost of distribution
To bring about universal prosper.
ity by stimulating agricultural ac
tivities.
To obtain a square deal for the
farmer and the public, impossible
now because of the interference bS
market gamblers.
"The American farmer today IL
his demand for cooperative rights
challenges all other peoples through
nationwide and worldwide co-opera
ton to replace abnormalcy," says
Howard.
All the cooperative marketing
ventures in operation or being plan
ned by the farmers will be non
profitsharing save in the savings paid
to farmers on the cost of handling
their commodities.
Members of the executive commit
tee now whipping the program into
effect say the consumer will be
chiefly benefited by paying less for
food, while the farmer will receive
more for his labor.

RAD PROPHECY.

According to the predictions during
the war one of the greatest after
the war problems would be to find
enough ships to carry the worlds
goods. ...,.
How impossible it is to estimate
the future in these disturbed times
is illustrated in the realities of the
shipping situation as compared with
the predictions.
The Chamber of Shipping of Great
Britain has compiled figures show
ing that the idle shipping exceeds
five million tons and that most of
the ocean-going ships in service are
being operated at a loss.
Two things have contributed to
this tuation-the unexpected fall
ing off in world trade and the un-
precedented increase in world ton
mage
nspite of the great loss of ships
during the war, there was an actual
increase in tonnage during the six
years from 1914 to 1920 of over
eight million tons.

COMMITTEE OF
HOUSE TO SEEK
FULL INQUIRY
Executive Session To-
night To Prepare For
Next Move
Tins Recorder Bureau,
Kimball House.

1lHS-Recorder bureau,
Kimball House.
ATLANTA, July 23.-A formal
resolution calling for the appoint
ment of committee to make full
investigation of conditions at the
state prison farm win be introduced
in the house Friday or Saturday,
following reading of the official
report outlining the true situation
at the institution from the house
penitentiary committee, which viii
hold an executive session tonight.
This move was freely predicted by
members this afternoon, since the in
vestigation to date has disclosed so
many irregularities and charges of
corruption at the farm. A very un-
favorable report is expected to be
submitted early tomorrow morning.
The last open session of the COM
mittee held last night, and at this
time Judge T. E. Patterson, of the
prison commission, was cross-examin-
ed by Chairman Jones Perryman. His
examination revealed that either the
law does not make rigid requirements
on the commission, or they have fail
ed properly to discharge their du-
ties.
When the executive session is
held, Chairman Perryman and other
members Of the committee determin-
ed to cleanup" conditions at the
farm will meet some opposition, but
indications are that the political
strength of the commission has been
broken.
Mr.. Perryman will speak on the
disclosures of the committee when
he presents the report to the house
Since the committees visited the
state farm last week, discussion OF
their findings has ll en- the chief sub :
ject among the legislators. Despite
the organized machine ri the prison
commission in the senate attempt
ed to squelch submiTion of evidence
on the first night of the hearing,
and finally became ospronourced m
its policy toward the board that
the house body was forced to sever
relations, the members of the lower
branch demanded that full investi-
cation be made of the charges.
Senator CampbelPs position on the
matter, and his activities in behalf
of the commission have also been the
subject of much comment, At the
request of the prison board, when
Herbert Clay, president of the SEN
ate, was selecting his committees,
the senator from Covington was
made chairmoa of the penitentiary
body. Since he adopted such
course in the proceedings, it is known
that the president has urged him to
'sgo to the bottom of the affair"
One of the reasons of the house
members determination to complete
the investigation may be found IN
the attitude Senator Campbell adopt
ed Tuesday evening in refusing to
recognize its representatives desiring
to make motions. The lobbying ac-
tiyities of the commissioners, and the
fight they made to halt proceedings,
has also reacted among the house
comittee.
