NATIONAL FOOD
AND RAIL HEADS
AGREE ON CARS
Discussion Over Delays in Sup
plies to Eastern Ports Re
suits in New Plan of
Co-operation.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Feb. 25. Out of the dis
cussion between the food and railroad
administrations over reponsibility
for delays in food shipments has
grown a plan by which the railroad
administration will be furnished daily
with reports, not only on the car
needs for the administration, but for
the allies as well.
, Within a few days, the food ad
ministration announced tonight, it wil
complete an organization to collect
this information. The allied food
purchasing agencies will submit their
demand to the food administration,
and domestic requirements will be
represented by transportation agents
' tpai named.
To Work Together.
The daily report plan was decided
on in response to the declaration of
Director General McAdoo that tie
-would furnish all the cars necessary
to move food if the food administra
tion would notify htm where the food
to be moved was located.
In a statement, which precipitated
the discussion, Food Administrator
Hoover had asserted that railroad
congestion and lack of cars threatened
the east with a food shortage and had
retarded the food administration's
program for feeding the allies.
Allies' Purchase Direct.
"The food administration directly
purchases only a minor proportion of
the food stufts for the allied govern
ments," said tonight's announcement.
"The bulk of this food stuff is pur
chased directly by the allied agencies,
with the assistance of the food ad
ministration. The arrangements of
transportation rests in the allied
agencies and their complaints as to
car shortages and delayed movements
have hitherto been addressed direct
ly to railway points and the food ad
ministration has been influenced.
"The food administration has now
directed the allied agencies to fur
nish it daily with their requirements
in order that they may be transmitted
to the railroad administration.
Cars Needed Badly.
' rThe most serious problem is the
car needs due to delayed movement
of last year's crops and of live stock
from the primary' country points to
the interior terminals, the mills and
the manufacturing centers where they
can be purchased for export and
domestic supply. The presentation
of these needs to the railway compan
ies is Teing met by thef appointment
of regional transportation agents for
the food administration already
established in Chicago, and proposed
ai,i New, York and Atlanta. ;t Their
agencies will secure and "furnish in
formation as to car necessities for the
primary movement of food stuffs to
the regional railway administration.
"Shippers of foodstuffs should
apply in the first instance to. the
legal railway officials for cars and
upon failure to secure necessary
transportation, they should for grain
and grain products apply to the food
administration zone managers; while
shippers of live stock and perishables
in the same difficulties should apply
for the present directly to the food
administration in Washineton. These
applications for cars will be put be
fore the various regional directors
, and will be daily reported to-the rail
road administration in Washington."
' C. E. Spens, vicfi resident of the
- Burlington railway has been ap
pointed the head of the food admin
istration transportation' division in
chare nf atl these activities.
1 "The food administration , is con
fident that in view of the director of
railroads assurance as to the supply
of cars,' if brought to his attention,
losses of food stuff through delay
and possible shortage in distribution
to the allies will thus be averted."

Buyers Want to Know if

; (Correspondence ot The Associated Press. )
Rome, Sept 5. "Was it made be
fore the war?" is the stock question
which 5 buyers now invariably ask
-when making purchases in retail
stores. Because of the poor quality
of goods manufactured since the war,
due to the rapid and unskilled work
manship, buyers endeavor to find ar
ticles made betore the war. Mens
socks and shirts made recently neither

We're Not Fighting Zepps Yet;-
Changed Generators, That's All
While some Omahans' were at din
ner and others were promenading the
streets or in theaters during the earlv
hours Sunday the city was envel
oped in darkness, all the current be
ing shut off from the Central power
house, while workmen changed gen
erators. Darker than the "lightless nights"
of Administrator Garfield was the
whole city just at a time when the
streets were thronged. Out in the
suburbs it reminded one of the gloom
after the great tornado, only there
was not the terrible stillness.
Men at the various light depart
ments of the Nebraska Power com
pany were swamped with telephone
calls from anxious people. Some in
quired whether proper precautions
were being taken from enemy air
raids. Others queried concerning a
possible shortage of coal.
Darkness lasted only 14 minutes,
through periods of seven minutes
each; though many are of the opinion
lights were out a full hour.

Omaha Minister Writes Inter

Another interesting letter of his
experiences somewhere in f ranee
has been received by the congregation
of the First Methodist church from
Rev. Titus Lowe, former pastor of
the church, who was granted leave of
absence so that he could go overseas.
The letter was read at the services
Sunday. It is as follows:
Just a word about one side of our
Christmas festivities, which will, I am
sure, have some interest to many of
you. We had planned a tine Christ
mas tree and treat for all the chil
dren and old folks of the town of
H , We had gone to some of the
larger cities some distance away and
had bought more than 400 presents,
ranging from dolls for babies to
warm woolen shawls and scarfs for
the old men and old women. The
tree looked perfectly lovely, decorated
with all kinds of fancy ornaments
and trinkets provided by the wise
Young Men's Christian association.
I acted as a sort of major domo.
the chaplain was the smiling godfather
to the whole occasion and the Cath
olic priest attached to that place by
the Knights ot Columbus was the
hearty and jovial interpreter. That
community had never known such a
Christmas. To make this occasion
so complete a success, the soldiers
had contributed more than $350 and
it was managed by a Methodist, an
episcopalian and a Catholic, it is
entirely possible that the exigencies
of this war may break down many
ot the unnecessary barriers that now
divide Christian -workers in the home

and cheering reception, and have been
thoroughly enjoying the severe grind
of the work. I am lecturing every
evening of the . week except Sunday.
Mostly ! am speaking on why Uncle
Sam finds himself in this dreadful
war. The boys seem wonderfully
interested, and when there are not
seats enough in the huts they stand
around uncomplainingly for the en
tire hour. , They have offered their
lives on the altar of patriotism, and
they know that any day the final price
may be demanded of them, and they
really want to know the great moral
and spiritual dynamic which drove us
into this cot flict After the lecture
they hang around in groups dis
cussing different phases of the whole
matter until the bugle calls to quar

I have personally talked to hun
dreds of them during the past week,
and there is but one sentiment domi
nating all of them. It is about as
follows: 'I wish this war was' all over

but I would not have missed being
here for anything, and we've got to
see it through.'
On 5undays I am preaching three
times. Last Sunday, for instance.
drove through rain and slush and
ice in a Ford delivery wagon to a
camp where a new group was
gathered. They had come from a far
western state and this was their first
chance for a religious service of any
kind. They were a bit homesick, and
the weather was beastlv and counrhs
and colds were exceedingly prevalent

them while they were singing, I
prayed that I might be able to give
them a heartening word of cheer:
that's what I tried to do, and we had
a warm mellowing time together.

not by any walls confined. In that
cheap, temporary hut that morning,
heaven came down our souls to greet
and glory crowned the Mercy Seat.

Wonderful Bit That Will
Bore a Square Hole
It has remained for a Peoria, HI.,
mechanic, after twelve years of plan
ning, to startle the mechanical world
with a bit that will bore a square
hole. This man has an actual work
ing bit which has made its way
through more than 400 boards and
pieces of marble with equal ease and
made a positively square hole at a
single operation.
The idea, is not a "paper patent,"
but an actual working tool that many
have travelled hundreds of miles to
see. Atl who have investigated it
commend the inventor on the in
genuity and marvel at its simplicity.
Carl H. Schmidgall, the inventor,
resides in Peoria, and has since early
childhood been familiar with tools
and iron work.
When asked about the invention he
said he guessed he would have to
give his wife the credit fqr the final
perfect working idea. Several nights
last winter his wife was so sick that
Schmidgall was obliged to sit up all
night and watch at her bedside.
There were times when she would
sleep a little while and during those
moments one night he thought of the
idea upon which he made the work
ing model.
Schmidgall says no time was lost in
getting the plan down on paper, so
the details might not be forgotten.
He was unable on account of the
rush of work in his shop to get to
work on his idea, but after a week or
so he found time to make up the de
tails and an application for patent is
the result His fame as an inventor
has spread over the entire country. .
The present working model makes
a square hole inches across, but
a tool that; will make, a hole one-half
inch across is just as practical.
In making this tool many other
ideas have resulted. The same tool
may be changed in a few moments to
make various shaped holes by simply
making a change in the cutting, edges.
Scrolls and special grill work can be
made with the bit in a fraction of the
time required by the usual methods,
and at the same time be absolutely
accurate, and all the holes be of uni
form size. Chicago Post.
Compulsory Work Hits
The Idlers in Maryland
"You can lead a horse to the trough,
but you can't make him drink."
This is the slogan of the "I Won't
Works," who have been rounded up
by the pohce under the compulsory
work law in Baltimore.
"That little saying about the horse
and drinkinar might be all right," says
Stephen C. Little, clerk of the superior

must remember that unless the idlers,

busy and work where we send them
they are going to jail. If they don't
work at the jail they don't eat. This
state owes them a living, as it does
every manonly when they work and
not when they are gentlemen of lei

Thus scarcely 200 men have reg
istered voluntarily and about 500 have
been rounded up by the police, who
promise to get several thousand more
in the dragnet before the week is out.
There has recently been a remark
able increase in the ranks of . bond
salesmen as the result of a rush of
clubmen and society hangers-on to es
cape the dragnet Also many have
opened offices and the young men are
banging on typewriters to give an im
pression of business that does not ex
ist. A good many sturdy men of the
humbler class, especially negroes who
worked only when actually necessary,
have really gone to work, many on
farms.
Many of those who voluntarily reg
istered are really inefficients, who
have heretofore not been able to get
work. An idea of what may be ex
pected of them was given when Di

they claimed exemption for various
reasons and Major Shirley sent them

!i URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says little Salts in water may
ave you from dread
attack.
Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid, which is
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are clos
ed, thus forcing the kidneys to, do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric
aciu, which keeps accumulating and
circulating through the system, event
ually settling in the joints and mus
cles, causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism..
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with litnia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.
