Utah, of the Senate District Committee, who has taken a-leading part In the fight I against ?peculation in and extortion ate price? for foodstuff* in Washing ton, will champion the bill providing for the taking over of Center Market in the Senate, in order to free the people of the District of Columbia from excessive charges for food prod uct* and supplies. "I intend to ask the chairman cf the District Committee. Senator John Walter Smith, of Maryland; to refer thfc bill, which recently passed the House unanimously. to a special i gain iliumui of three," said Sen ator King yesterday. "In view of the ? prompt and unanimous action of the | Refuse. I believe we will be able to take affirmative action calling for the I termination of the lease to the Wash ington Market Company of this prop erty very quickly." 3*H I'rges ParUlan Plan.

"I am hopeful that the subcommit M will report the bill favorably to Qie full committee and that the com mittee in turn will report it to the Senate." be said, "so^that affirmative action may be taken as speedily as poaoible." The elimination of unnecessary trad ing aud handling of foodstuffs along th? lines proposed by Commissioner W.*"?wvTin Gardiner will bring down prices of food in the District, Sen ator King states. l?a the case of wheat, the United Elates Food Administration, as Com TBlWToner Gardiner pointed out. was able, by limiting the number of mid dlemen handling this grain and Its by products. to give the producer a larger price and the consumer a cheaper one.

I Inspect, weigh, grade and dispose of it ?4r a trifle over 1 per cent commis ?*or ?There should be established a ter minal market in Washington, where the consumers would be brought in direct contact with tha, producers." Senator King detiared. ?'and I believe that the District, if necessary, could well employ an acrent to purchase I foodstuffs for them." Baiter Wants U. S. to Buy Army Cantonment Sites L Secretary of War Baker probably will ask Contrress soon for authoriza tion to purchase, as part of the per manent military establishment, the Cantonment sites in this country. He probably will not ask that all be bought, as some of the sites have not proven to be as desirable a* originallv anticipated. It is likely that only a few of the tent camp sites will be retained. Much will depend upon the form of America'?? future military program. WORLD'S GREATEST SEAPLANE-IT CARRIES FIFTY PASSENGERS This is (he seaplane, with a in,r under it. SOUTH EXPECTS GREATEST YEAR Cotton and Lumber High; Raw Materials Plentiful and Crops Booming. I Memphis, Tenn.. Jan. 1.?The South faces the greatest year in ita history, Memphia business men declared yes terday. With cotton at top prices and every indication that it is going higher.' lumber going higher, farmers receiving handsome returns for their crops, factories able to buy coal and raw materials and labor again plenti ful. there is prosperity ahead. Cotton should maintain an average price of 30 cents in 1919, and better grades will command more, predicted L. Salsbury. president of the Chamber of Commerce, and probably the larg est cotton planter in the world. This places cotton on about a parity with wheat at 12.36 a bushel, the price guaranteed by the government, j Tremendous strides were made in 11918 toward producing enough food In the South to feed itself. Although 'Memphis handles more cotton than any inland city in the world, records compiled today showed that this terri tory. including lar&e part* of Tennes see. Arkansas and Mississif>pi. pro duced $20 worth of food crops in 1918 for each $17 of cotton.

GIVES KNOCK-OUT BLOW 19 TO RHEUMATISM Proves Itself Master of This Painful Disease. L Half-way treatment of Rhcuma | tism will never rid you of it. Bet tWkr realize from the outset that v^hsti Rheumatism attacks you htve a real battle on your hands, I ?nd that it's a man's job to get rid of it. Temporizing with Rheumatism by the use of liniments, lotions and other external methods of treatment, is like trying- to coax a? enemy to let up in his attacks, permit you to conquer" him ' ?|tbout resistance. But you soon learn that Rheu aUsm will not treat you with is consideration. The tiny little vrms flock together by the tllions and center their attack jth undivided force. The effects f the disease are gradual in tak g hold on the system. In fact, pains are only slight at first and do not attract your serious ittention, but they gradually in * crease in severity until your en tire system is firmly within the tjjrip of the disease. It is then that you have a real fight on your for you will find that Rheu hnatism is a foe that knows just [low to cripple you. The pains that ?cre hardly noticeable at first be :ome your constant companions , uid seem to take delight in your uiffering. Of course, if this painful disease --was on the surface ortly, you night reasonably expect to get re Mef by the use of surface remedies, ;nch as liniments and Ather local | lpplicatjons. But the source of disease is your blood. The I IB' disease germs find lodgment ? tfatfc and multiply by the millions and scatter, by means of the blood circulation, throughout your system. The sensible treatment for this disease, and the only one from which you can expect permanent results, is a treatment that goes down into the blood supply and reaches the source of the disease. S. S. S. is a wonderful blood rem edy, and is the logical treat ment for Rheumatism, because it promptly permeates the entire blood supply and searches out and i eliminates the disease germs. If you arc a victim of Rheuma j tism, you can take S. S. S. with the iassurance that you are not experi j menting, but using a remedy that I has brought relief to thousands who have suffered from this pain ful disease. This great old rem edy has been sold all over the United States for more than fifty years, and has been used with gratifying" results. It is a great blessing for a sufferer to, become acquainted with the powers of S. S. S., for in this remedy is found the help that can come only from the proper ^treatment. Many letters have been written to us by those who have used S. S. S., telling of the good it has done them.

Diplomatic intimations from Washington that the oil laws violat ed private rights of foreign inter ests preceded the step. Might Have Been Insae.

I Dr. Pani explained that the Mex-] ican government has not changed its attitude toward the oil land j nationalization scheme, but will pro tect the property rights of all in- [ terests held J>efore May 1. 1918. i when the Carranza decree was pro-' mulgated.

THA T BA CKA CHE! AFTER INFLUENZA?GRIPPE?COLDS THEN LOOK TO KIDNEYS! It is a fact to be borne in mind that tb? effort on the part of nature to throw oil the poisons during the attack of Spanish influenza results sometimes K1 nephritis or inflammation of the kidneys. In view of the seriousness of this disease as a result of toxemia, (storage of poisons within the body) it is most es sential that treatment be di rected towards prompt casting out of the toxins, or poisons, from the body. This means that the excretory organs? the bowels, skin and kidney* ?should be ejtcited to their best efforts to throw out the poisons. Every one should clean house?internally?and thus protect oneself from many gcrra^ diseases, by taking cas tor oil or a pleasant laxative such as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant l'urijativc Pellets, which arc made of May apple, aloes and jalap. Tike these every other day. This will excite efficient bowel action. If you suffer from backache, irrita tion of the bladder and the kidneys, shown by the frequent calls to get out of bed at night, considerable sediment in the water, brick-dust deposit, perhaps headache in the morning, you should obtain at the drug store a simple tablet which expels the uric 'acid and the toxic poisons from the system. This is called "Anuric" (anti-uric), and was first put up by Dr. Pierce. By its action on the bladder and kidneys, it expels these toxic poison*. To build up the strength and improve the blood, because after the influenza there arc usually too few red blood corpuscles, take an iron tonic such as "Irontic," manufactured by Dr Pierce, to be had in tablets at I policy in 19u3. He notifies us the next assault will come as soon as his party ] controls the foreign policy of the Unit- , ed States. It is a terrible prospect for Mexico. Colombia and all South America. That k why we look anx iously to Wilson's just and righteous policy." Tbouiandi at Sailors' Fnaeia! Berlin.
