TAX FERRETS BEFORE WARSAW FAYS HUGE COMMISSIONERS AGAIN PENALTYTOCOOOFWAR

Glenn Attacks Workman Latter Asks Board to Investigate Cases Where He Has Worked.

Rival tax ferrets presented their claims again Monday to the board of county commissioners. The board heard them for several hours and then announced that they would take the matter under advisement until the latter part of the week.

J. B. Workman stated to the board that they could Investigate his work In any county in which he had been employed. "Workman offered letters from State Treasurer George Bittler, State Auditor A. J. Crittenberger, Chief of the State Board of Accounts Gilbert Hendren and a number of county officials in places where he has worked. State Treasurer Bittler wrote: "J. B. Workman is a tax expert of twenty years' experience. He is competent and reliable."

Mr. Glenn, of the firm of Glenn and Vandevere, sought to impeach Workman's record and said that a fee of $652 for Workman in Anderson had been attached.

Workman said that this had been the case, but it was a matter of difference in figures and had nothing to do with the competency or reliability of his work.

Workman said after the meeting: "I did not want to burden the board with a lot of letters. I could have submitted hundreds. The best way is to have the board know what a tax expert has actually accomplished."

One Smashing Blow

Some folks go on for years wondering- why they have headaches, nervousness, heart flutter, biliousness and various other ailments. But they never suspect a most common cause— coffee drinking.

Coffee contains caffeine, a powerful habit-forming drug. The little doses repeated daily irritate the nerves, unsteady the heart, hinder digestion and work havoc generally with many coffee users.

The simple, easy way to smash coffce troubles at one blow, is to quit the coffee and use

POSTUM

There's "nothing missed" with the change, and thousands have found it means a big step toward health and comfort.

Postum is made of wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses —has a rich flavor, much like mild Java coffee, yet contains no drug or other harmful element.

Postum comes in two forms: The original Postum Cereal requires boiling Instant Postum is soluble—a level teaspoonful in a cup of boiling water makes a delicious drink—instantly. Both kinds are equally delicious, and the cost per cup is about the same. 1 en days off coffee and on Postum will show

headway. Cholera, typhoid fever, scarlet fever and diphtheria have been stamped out or are under control in most districts.

Statistics which appear to be authoritative show that from 250,000 to 350,000 persons are being supported in Warsaw alone. Meanwhile funds raised for charitable purposes have been virtually exhausted. These funds amounting to several million rubles, were given by Polish and Jewish organizations, neutrals and the Russian government. With this money it has been possible heretofore to distribute 1,250,000 portions of soup, meat and bread monthly. Less than one-third of these food supplies have

jbeen

paid for by

those who received them. The cost of the food distributed free has amounted to 115,000 rubles a month.

The food department of the Warsaw government, which has been selling at cost prices, has been obliged to restrict this work because of the exhaustion of the supply of food stuffs and the impossibility of importing from neutral countries.

SEN. RE-ELECTED PARTY FLOOR LEADER

Senate Democrats Make Plans for Opening of Sixty-Fourth Congress Next Week.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29—Senator Kern of Indiana was re-elected chairman of the democratic senate caucus and floor leader by unanimous vote today at the conference of senate democrats. Senator Pitman of Nevada was elected secretary of the conference to succeed Senator Saulsbury of Delaware, who wished to relinquish the office. Selection of a vice chairman, president pro tempore of the senate, committee assignments and the report of the special committee on revision of the rules, were postponed until Wednesday. The 64th congress will get under way next Monday.

Senator Kern was authorized to name anew steering committee of eight members to be approved by the conference Wednesday.

Chairman Owen, of the special committee to revise the rules, will submit a report Wednesday recommending a modified form of cloture on debate.

Hou.se democrats are confronted with a more difficult task because of the reduced democratic and increased republican membership. Not only are there many democratic vacancies on most of the important committees but the increased republican membership necessitates changing the party ratio on nearly all committees to povide for the enlarged majority.

The probability, however, will be few changes in chairmanship of important committees.

Three democratic vacancies on the ways and means committee are to bo filled and the naval committee reorganized in view of the defense program. Five democratic vacancies are to be filled following the retirement of three advocates and opponents of naval increases.

BRANCH LIBRARIES BUSY.

Reports Show Increasing Number of Books Circulated. Encouraging reports from the branch libraries continued to reach the ears of Mrs. Sallie Hughes, librarian, Monday.

Up to the present, the Montrose school branch has been op«n twentytwo days during November and there have been 1999 books given out. "Too bad there wasn't just one more," Miss Clementine Dorsey, rn charge of the library, said.

Some very interesting talks on the books taken from that library recentlv by members of the Men's Civic

Iemlng school, which has a newbranch library this year, has done itself credit with 3,400 books being given out in eighteen days of November. "That means a lot of work for the librarian there," Mrs. Hughes said.

The Montrose branch is badly in need of a new heating stove, the present one being inadequate and giving out more smoke than heat, Miss Dorsev says.

prediction further than to say that the demand for wheat in the United States »vould be affected in proportion to the extent or the Canadian seizures and according to the disposition the governernment proposes to make of the grain and the price it will pay.

Most of the supplies for Great Britain and its allies have been purchased through one agent, it is assured.

Franklyn M. Crosby, of Minneapolis, a prominent miller, was quoted as saying that the action "doe,s not concern the American milling interest to any extent, as there is no Canadian grain coming in on purchase and very little in bond for reshipment." The amount commandeered, he added, was comparatively small. (ri-eat Britain, it was pointed out, is 40,000,000 bushels short of its needs, as compared with last year, and the purchase of 20,000,000 bushela at one

expressed therefore among grain experts, who thought that England evi-. dently intended obtaining the grain for its own requirements and that it desired to be sure of it.

There is more than 100,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat available outside of that already disposed of, it wa.s said, as Canada had 230,000,000 avainable for export at the beginning of the season three months ago and has disposed of nearly one-half of it.

The grain commandeered is tn elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, Canada, and in other cities eastward to the Atlantic coast. The order is for all of the No. 1, 2 and 3 grades. A considerable portion of it is the property of American dealers.

Government's Statement.

The action of the Canadian government is summed up in an official statement issued at Ottawa. I11 part, it states: "The effect of the government purchases in the open market, such as were made by the different countries a year ago, is well known to the public. The market rises abnormally, adding to the profits of grain dealers and speculators who have purchased the grain which the government requires. The *:'.dvance in price of a large amount of grain in store becomes the loss of the purchasing government and the profit not of the producer but the owner of the stored grain. "To secure the desired end this year, the government determined to commandeer all No. 1, 2 and 3 northern wheat in store at the head of the lakes and eastward. "The price to be paid has not been settled by the government, but will shortly be fixed on a fair basis. "Instructions have been given that all loading now under way is to be continued and no delay whatever occur in the transDort of the comman.-

Blood testified he passed the saloon and saw Hefty in the grasp of the men and demanded to know why he was held.

this you can be sure— Fatimas are cool and friendly to the throat and tongue. And they will never leave you "feeling mean" as long as you smoke within the bounds of reason. These tests show you how to prove this.

Because Fatimas are cool and because they can be smoked freely and often—they have rightly earned the title, "The Sensible Cigarette."

It simply remains for you to see if their taste suits you as well as it is suiting thousands and thousands of other men. Test Fatimas today.
