CHARGES ‘USD IS APPLIED’ IH ACCOUNTS FIGHT Day Discusses Tactics of Persons Backing Bill — Amendments Fail, Charges that “the lash is being applied" to bring about the passage of the bill designed to give the Sta r e board of accounts power over road and school building were made in the House today by Representative James I. Day of Lake County. The bill passed to third reading with only minor amendments. “In order that a check might be had on a certain State officer a gentleman of the Senate asked for certain things from the board of accounts,” Day said. “In order to get this information, the minority pledged themselves to get behind this bill. After agreeing to this certain aspirants for Governor got together and decided to apply the lash. The lash is being applied and applied very thoroughly.” John W. Witch. Democrat, said he knew nothing of the story. A motion that the bill be passed to third reading was withdrawn by Clifford Townsend in order to permit Day to introduce a series of amendments, all of which failed. The amendments would have required petition of twenty-five taxpayers to obtain an investigation of school or road contracts and plans: the filing of SIO,OOO bonds by examiner and deputies against Incomplete, inaccurate or fiaudulent examination or reports: no examinations would be made until a reasonable effort was made by counties to check contracts. An amendment by Floyd V. Miller requiring reports be kept secret unless suits are filed, also lost. An amendment by Harry’ Kretschman to exclude streets, roads and bridges from investigation by the board also was lost. The bill was amendment to provide that twenty-five taxpayers instead of ten should petition for examinati 1 before any examination could be made. Examination would be made only after local relief could not be obtained.

THE UN DIAJS AROL i!S TIMES

PROBE OF SUGAR ‘SHORTAGE’ASKED IN RESOLUTION Senator Brookhart Demands Congress Investigate Prices, ’li) United Pres* WASHINGTON, March 2.—lmmediate congressional investigation of the alleged sugar “shortage” and the recent sudden rise In sugar prices ' is demanded in a resolution introduced today by Senator Brookhart, lowa. The Investigation would proceed while Congress Is not In session, under the terms of Brookhart’s resolution. Sugar gamblers are now out to drive the price of sugar to fifteen cents, according to a report current in well in formed Government quarters here. On Feb. 27, manipulators started anew rumor In Wall St., that the Department of Commerce was about to Issue another sugar statement estimating the coming Cuban crop at 3,000,000 tons. The Immediate effect of this was to drive raw sugar from 4 1-3 cents per pound to 5Vi cents. Reputable sugar dealers who have refrained from purchasing during the present frenzy of speculation notified Government officials that if this report were true sugar would go to 15 cents. The report was denied, but sugar jumped just the same. Anew rumor was afloat to the effect that the Cuban secretary of agriculture is about to Issue a statement placing the Cuban crop at about 3,500,000 tons. The lowest previous estimate was 3,800,000 tons and the Department of Commerce estimate was 4,000,000 tons. Government officials declare that these reports originate with manipulators and that the actual sugar situation in no way justifies them.

Very Weak The above portrait is that of Mrs. Martha Peffrey, of tne town of Elkfork, Ky., who suffered lor a long time with troubles from which she could obtain no relief, until at last she took CARDUI, the Woman’s Tonic. In her own words, the history of her case was as follows: "I wa* very weak. Was for 3 years no good to mvself or anyone else. I just dragged around, ft was a sight how thin f got I had weak trembles all the time. My . . . stopped 3 or 4 months. “One day I decided I would try Carduf, which I did. I took about 15 bottles right straight along. Now tins was in 1919, and 1 have not had any return of this trouble. I am feeling fine. I gained from 90 to 154 pounds, and 1 will say a good word for Cardui whenever I can.” A medicine that will relieve such troubles as Mrs. Peltrey had, is surely worth trying by those who suffer as she did. Many other symptoms, due to such troubles, have also been relieved by the use of this well-known remedy. Full descriptions of many such cases are given in our “Cardui Home Treatment Book”, for women, a copy of which we will mail free to any lady, on request (Address: Drawer B, St Elmo Sta., Chattanooga, Tenn.) Cardui is for sale by all druggists. If you feel the need of a medicine to relieve such troubles, get a bottle today. OAk R D 01 Jor Women's Ills Q . u ,
