Trouncing the Pearl Memorials,
who were hampered by the loss of
the Koneckys, the- First Christian
basket ball team of Council Bluffs
gained a strangle hold on the su
premacy of the Church Basket Ball
league in a 27-to-16 game played
last night on the Young Mens
Christian association's floor.
The first half of the encounter
lacked pep, since the Pearl Memor
ial team appeared to despair of vic
tory because of the absence of the
Koneckvs. who were practicing with
the Central High quintet against;
the Creighton varsity hve. tne
score stood 17 to 6 at the end of
the first half.
Davis, Wilson and Mordick, who
had failed to register a single tally
curing ine niuiai pcuuu, wcic w-
out and subs sent in. The new men
seemed to have fight in their blood ;
and held their own with the team
from across the stream. Mordick
returned to the game in the middle
of the second half. Some neat shots
by Parish and Barryman kept down
the lead of the victors. Each team
chalked up 10 points during this
period. Datesman, Benz and Mellor
starred for the victors.
Two Tied for Lead.
The First Christians and the Han
scom Parks now head the league.
They are booked to meet next
Tuesday night in the last set of
games in the first round. The
Bluffs team is composed entirely
of' Council Bluffs High school play
ers. The "Y" dormitory men sent their
reorganized ttvn in to compete with
the Calvary Baptists. Both teams
had lVo games to their credit so
the loser was doomed to the cellar
position. Hard luck shooting bas
kets gave this "honor" to the "Y"
men. The first half was well play
ed, but the second was easy for
the Baptists, who triumphed, 21 to
11.
The Hanscom Parks-Benson
Methodist encounter went to the
Hanscom Park men, 38 to 13. The
Bensonites failed to exhibit the style
shown - last week au'd succumbed
after futile opposition. Reel and
Calvert were the chief point getters.
Fullington also played a good game
for' the victors.

TV0 OF "BIG FIVE"
OPPOSE PACKING
INDUSTRY CURB
Legislation "Would Muddle
Things," Says Morris; Swift
Considers Present Laws .
Adequate.
Washington, Jan. 28. President
of two big packing companies today
advised senate and house commit-
I tees against additional legislat:on to
Kegulate the meat packing industry.
Louis F. Swift of Swift & Co. told the
senate agricultural committee
present laws were adequate to deal
with any abuse charged. Edward S.
Morris of Morris & Co. testified be
fore the house interstate commerce
committee that any further legisla
tion would muddle things." '
J. Ogden Armour, president of
(Armour & Co., announced yesterday
he expected to consult representa
tives of all puckers concerning mea
sures to be offered as substitues for
legislation pending before congress.
Mr. Swift, when asked today by Sen
ator Gore of OklahoTna, if he ex
pected to assist such legislation, sajd
he felt much of the socalled "feeling
against the packers" was exaggerat
ed and that legislation would not
affect thesituation.
Denies Heney's Charge.
Some limitation of capitalization
of packing companies was suggested
by Senator Gronna of North Dakota,
after Francis J. Heney had cross-examined
Mr. Swift on increases of his
company's capital stock.
Mr. Heney said that by separat
ing the Swift company into three
organizations recently the market
value of the original stock had been
increased more than $100,000,000. Mr
Swift denied this and agreed to in
form the committee as to transac
tions dealing with the separation of
the company into Swift & Co., Swift
International, and Libby, McNeill
and Libby.
Omahan Takes Stand.
Thomas Creigh, attorney for
Cudahy & Co., told the com
mittee it would be "an utterly un
practical, un-American procedure
for the government to snuff out a
business without a clear, judicial, un
biased investigation of the facts."
He said such an investigation had
not been conducted by the federal
trade commission and that the com
mission's "report was filled with
erroneous and distorted statements
to which no credence should be
given." ,

Wilson & Co., and Edward A. Cud

Wounded Soldiers
May Leave Hospitals
When Fitted to Work
' Washington, Jan. 28. Surgeon
General Ireland announced today
that it was the War department's
policy to retain wounded and sick
soldiers in military hospitals only .
long enough to restore their
health to a degree which would
permit them to return to their
former occupations. It was not
their purpose to keep the men in
definitely, he said, and thus ex
pose them to "hospitalization."
Soldiers who have been blinded
or their eyesight much impaired
, will under the regulations be re
tained until they are able to care
for themselves or otherwise
physically fit for discharge. The
deaf or nearly deaf may be retain
ed until they learn lip reading.
Cases of amputation of the leg
or arm, or both, are to be kept in
the hospitals until provisional arti
ficial limbs or arms are provided
and reasonable proficiency in their
use reached.

Shipping Board Cancels
Orders for Many Vessels
Washington, Jan. 28. Orders to
shipyards not to begin work on ships
aggregating from 1,000,000 to 1,250,
000 deadweight tons, the keels for
which ordinarily would not have
been laid before next August, have
been sent out by the shipping board
Charles Piez, director general of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, said
today that yards on both the At
lantic and the Pacific coasts were
affected.
"The reason for the order, said
Mr. Piez, is that the type of ships
which it will be found advisable to
construct under peace conditions are
being determined by the committee
of experts which is now at work."

Packers and Producers Told
Increased Orders Soon
Will Turn Surplus
Into Deficit.
Washington, Jan. 28. A min
imum basq price of $17.50 a hun
dred pounds for hogs for the
month of February was unani
mously agreed upon today by the
hog committee meeting at the food
administration.
When representatives of the food
administration department, of agri
culture, packers, producers and com
mission men met this afternoon to
consider hog prices for February
F. S. Snyder, head of the food ad
ministration meat division, recom
mended that the minimum base
price of $17.50, now in effect, be con
tinued for next month.
Increased Demand Foreseen.
Frank S. Snyder, head of the meat
division of the food administration,
recommended the' maintenance of
this price and Md the packers, pro
ducers and commission men present
that increased orders from the al
lies, neutrals and eventually enemy
countries, soon would turn the pres
ent surplus of pork into a deficit.
The inter-allied food council in
Paris, he said, had j-ecommended
that Germany and other enemy
countries be allowed 70,000 tons of
pork monthly.
Business with- the allies and neu
trals will amount to 225,000,000
pounds of pork for the month of
February.
The packers may now seek at
their own risk an independent mar

Is This Your Bill?
"The Sins of the Flesh" are punished in this
world not in the next.
Disease is not an accident, nor is it sent
by Providence. It is Nature's punishment 1
for the breaking of her laws.
Hemorrhoids, for example, occasion an
infinite degree of discomfort, suffering arid
misery. So does a fissure or a fistula.
But such punishments are meted out to
those who sin against Nature in two ways,
by neglecting to maintain regular, easy,
thorough evacuation of the bowels who
form the bad habit of constipation, or what
is a worse habit, the taking of pills, castor
oil, purgative mineral waters, salts, etc., with
the mistaken idea of overcoming constipation
by forcing the bowels to move unnaturally.
But'the Nujol Treatment for Constipation
prevents such sins ot the flesh, or mitigates
the punishment therefor.
" Nujol helps to re-establish .easy, regular,
thorough evacuation of the bowels
Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any '
drug.
Nujol is absolutely harmless-.
Nujol keeps the waste matter soft, moist,
and easily voided.
"Nujol is not absorbed, does not affect the
body acts as a mechanical lubricant, which
can be used for any length of time.
. Get Nujol from your druggist. Take
Nujol according to directions.
