WILL SAVE ROOM IN SHIPS
Jury Fails to Agree
in Maloney Suit
and is Discharged
Nebraska
LONDON, Jan. 28. The govern
ment's proposal for the restriction
of Imports Is commented on In the
press this morning, the belief be
ins expressed that the proposed pro
hibitions will bring the war much
closer home to the people. The pro
hibition on tobacco Is regarded as
an unnecessary hardship by some of
the commentators, who point out
that the ship space occupied by a
year's tobacco importation Is less
than & twelfth of that occupied by
wood pulp.
Little RalldlnK ott.
The prohibition agnlnst the Importa
tion of building materials Is considered
as unlikely to cause (treat hardship, as
little building Is going on, owing to labor
difficulties and the opposition of the gov
ernment. .
The Dally Mall discussing the prohibi
tion of the Importation of paper, pictures
the situation which Is likely to follow.
"We shall go back to the condition of a
tentury ago,"' says this newspaper,
"when paper was something previous and
carefully economised and when the peo
ple saved every scrap of it. Cheap books
were then unknown. It cost a shilling In
Pitt's time to produce a small pamphlet.
There Is not a household nor a business
In the country which will not be affected
by the inevitable rise In the price of
paper."

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?
This question is asked everyday.
A cold Is 'really a i fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and so fender the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
Scott's 'Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it docs more
builds strength to prevent sickness.
Scott's Emulsion contains Nature's
rare strength building fats, so skillfully
blended that the blood profits from
every drop. It is free from harmful
drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores
-always get the genuine.
