Washington, May 30. To make impossible any repetition of the re cent unprecedented accident on the American steamer Mongolia, in which two Red Cross nurses were killed, the brass type of powder cup used in American naval guns for a score of years, is to be -abandoned for, wood or fiber substitutes. In making public tonight a report, the special investigation board exon erated the naval guard on the Mon golia and attributed the accident to an unexplainable deflection at right angles of a portion of a brass powder .. c,.t!irv rianipla announced that, "while a similar tragedy might not occur again in twenty years, yet we do not propose to take the risk.

HOARDING OF FOOD MEANS HIGH PRICES Pealers Say That Despite, Gov ernment's Request, Consum ers Are Laying in Sur plus Supplies. What does the man, fearing high food prices due to the war, profit by hoarding foodstuffs? This is the question Omaha retail dealers are- asking, and they point out it is in direct violation of the government's request that foodstuffs be not hoarded. A grocer, whose average monthly sale of flour is 500 sacks, sold 1,000 sacks last month, but indications are, dealers say, that in the near future sales will show a decided decline. "Housewives and farmers, fearing war time prices, purchased large amounts of flour and other foods." a grocer asserted, "but they have losti money ior Hour in tne eastern mar kets has dropped and it is very prob able that with the proposed control of the nation's food by the govern ment during the, war, the price of flour and other products, will drop. "Hoarding' not only hurts dealers, but hurts the purchaser." the grocer coatinued. "Heavy sales have a tendency tfx. boost prices, causes a merchant to buy large stocks at these high prices. Then sales drop, prices drop and the dealer has to-flrop the price of his high-priced article." Prices Are Lower. Even at present: dealers declare, it is possible to purchase flour at a lower figure than a month ago. The customers had purchased for the future and had stocked up lor a month or so to come, while it llivy had only bought their immediate needs, they could buy flour now at a lower figure than' they paid for the flour hoarded away in their homes. Not only has flour been purchased in large quantities, but canned goods, suear. dried fruits and other food stuffs that will keep. And not only Omaha merchants, but dealers in sur rounding cities, in fact, almost over the entire country, must meet this condition. Some retailers in smaller towns, keepers.of general stores, re port farmers faying ill supplies of foodstuffs in amounts almost large enough to last them all summer, through the harvest and threshing periods. This, dealers declare, is what demoralizes markets, what causes high prices, and what may eventually force absolute control of the country's food supply by the government.

""The Morning After" ' (By DR.I W. BOWER.) ' One of the characteristic headaches due to uric acid in the system, which acts as a poison when it accumulates, is due to alcohol taken the night be fore. The kidneys do not succeed in throwing ofr this poisonous accumu lation, the stomach is nauseated, or the blood congests in the head, caus; ing throbbing pain, called headache the heart is depressed, circulation of blood poor to the extremities, the muscles feel tired, or twinges of pain w, and there are felt, and when this uric acid is deposited in the tis sues or joints it causes rneumansm rtr trft.lt.. I alwavs advise the drinking of hot water, a half pint in the morn ing, and a little Anuric. bometimes the "blues" or a sort of rash, or a pimply1 face, giving warning of an "uric acid storm." At such times aN ways take' Anuric (double strength), which can be obtained at almost any Amir tnre. and which you will find dissolves the uric acid almost as hot water does sugar. Avoid too much meat, tea and alco hnt. Drink an abundance of water, both hot and cold. Take Anuric three times a day until the bad symptoms all subside. This is the best way to avoid rheumatism and many of the pains and tches due to a uric acid condition. If you drink any alcoholic beverage you should keep the kidneys and liver active with Anuric, so as to throw off the poisons which accumu late. If your tongue is coated a dark brown taste, breath foul, followed sometimes by colds, indigestion, bil iousness, constipation or sour acid stomach, vou should take some vege- table laxative. Such a one is made in sugar-coated form from the May-apple, leaves of aloe, and root of jalap, and cfmmonly sold by almost all druggists as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Thev are standard and have been in ready-to-use form for earlv fifty years. Advertisement. Forward! , Dandelion Wine With Real "Kick" Said to Be Substitute for Booze The once despicable cichoricacotis plant.

Dandelion wine is served fear lessly, even quite' cheerfully, in many homes where strong alcoholic drinks once were, but are no more. And it is aid the law knowcth not this wine as an intoxicant.

Later he was seen industriously digging dande lions. His wife had told him she would manufacture all the dandelion wine he could drink if he kept the lawit clciir of the "pests." The man promised to dig not only all the dan delions in his own front yard, but to trespass on the neighbor's lawn if the supply should run short. It could be seen his wife v?as pleased with her hudiand. She said that was the first time he had been guilty of hard man ual labor since their marriage. A neighbor who discovered most of the dandelions the man had been digging Hidden in the ash can was persuaded to keep the secret the wife-assured ,iim she had saved enoagh dandelions for at least five gallons of wine.

Washington, May 30. To enable the United States to retain its pres ent supremacy in international finance throughout the war an aim with which the entente powers are under stood to be in full accord and to emerge in a strong financial condition afterwards, officials have in mind the enforcement of a program, the salient features of which trtl Virtual closing of American money markets to further foreign govern ment bond issues throughout the war. Stabilizing business conditions, so far' as posiible by the contemplated international purchasing board. Centralisation of the country's fi nancial system by the admission to the Federal Reserve system of thousands of strong trust companies and state banks at present non members. Work Along These Lines. Virtually all financial plans of the government, including the flotation of the Liberty loan and the program of financing the entente government as well as the efforts to continue the c.ui. try's present prosperity, arc made with those features in mind. Closing f the money markets here to further issues of foreign govern mei.t bonds is regarded as imperative if the government is to remain master of the financial situation. To this end it is understood the government will notify bankers contemplating the underwriting of fbreign bonds of its disapproval. To Close Market. The investment market so far as the government can control it, is not to be disturbed by outside bond is sues for the big proportion of Amer ica's savings, it is felt, will be needed to finance the part America will play in the war. Co-operating with the United States in this respect, Great Britain changed its plans upon America's entrance into the war, to issue $200,000,000 in bonds here, secured by Canadian Pacific se curities. Great Britain borrowed what funds it needed from the Amer ican treasury instead. In line wit!1 this policy the govern ment "may find it necessary to induce the government of Cuba to accept a loan of $.50,000,000 instead pf raising this amount, as contemplated, by floating a bond issue here. Stabilization Necessary. Stabilization of business conditions is regarded as essentia: by treasury officials in order to permit the coun try to remain in a strong financial position. With a commission spending as much as $U),000,000,000 a year the estimated extent of the proposed com mission's purchasing powers it is felt that virtually all lines of industry, whose efforts contribute toward win ning the war would be assured of steady employment at a fair profit and that producers in all lines would not run the risk of fluctuating markets. Fluctuation Necessary. A certian amount of fluctuation is regarded as desirable and this it is be lieved would result from the opera tion of the law of supply and demand. At the'saine time, with the commis sion operating at full power, produc ers would be enabled to estimate their requirements in raw material at a fairly stationary figure, it is thought, and would not run the hazard of pur chasing at high prices to face a fall ing market a few weeks later.
