national harvest are almost countless and they present tbe rao&t critical of situations, of which no solution exists but a continued expansion of the efforts of the Railway Administration in the movement of foodstuffs in everv direction to the exclusion of

much other commerce of the country. Considerable progress has been made in the last 10 days, but continued rises in the price of cereal commodities and the failure to secure sufficient surplus over immediate domestic consumption to feed the allies are evidence that there is still a deficiency in food cars anJ that they need be still further increased. "Comparisons . of the movement from day to day during the last few days with movements of similar periods last year reflect the efforts being made by the railway Directorate. We have, however, a long accumulation to be got over and to be got over

within the next CO days. Tne. situation calls for every co-operation of the public through the quick loading of cars, loading of them to capacity and discharging them quickly and in every way reducing the tax on the railways. Co-operation can be given by reduction in consumption of foodstuffs, by tbe consumption of home and local stores to the exclusion, so far as may be, of transported articles. If every interest co-operates we shall supply the allies and remedy the distribution of our abundant domestic supplies, for our farms are full of foodstuffs. "No effort is being spared to move allied food as fast as it can be accumulated in the interior and today the railway Directorate is arranging special trains to carry meat and packing house products from Chicago to load the waiting ships." Larger Shipments n Sight. Hoover's warning comes at a time when there looms a possibility of greater shipments, in the belief of the Railroad Administration officials. Didector General McAdoo's . priorities and embargoes have cleared the situation somewhat for freer transportation to the seaports and Dr. Harry A. Garfield's fuelless days have helped to free the harbors of the ship congestion. In both of these administrations there is a confidence that if the public comes to the aid, particularly in the matter of nonshipment of nonessentials, the transportation relief will be afforded. Director General McAdoo two weeks ago started thousands of cars into tha corn belt, and with the scheme of coal distrbution put into effect today by the Super-War Council a greater movement is possible. Frank warning is given by officials that some industries must be compelled to slow down in shipments and production. STATE PROM. - Continued From Page One. zation present at the meting expressed a, favorable atltude toward the merger, but no action was taken. Mr. Schmidt

stated that it was desired to learn the atitude of the rank and file of the party before taking any definite' action, and that the majority of the prohibitionists were in favor of the merger as long as nation-wide prohibition and women's suffrage were given as phominent place in "the new party platform

as they are now given in the prohibi

tion party. The matter will be decided at the national convention on March 5, in Chicago. Urges Conservation

At the afternon session Mr. Schmidt

urged conservation through prohibition in his address "War's Challenge; Our Answer." He pointed out that by making the nation dry it would be possible to save man-power for the nation, which was at present being wasted

through drunkenness. Fuel, food and

sugar would be saved, he stated, and

the present food shortage could be re

lieved by turning over car space re

served for liquor shipments, for the

shipping of food.

Election of delegates to the state prohibition convention to be held in Indianapolis April 23, was held at the afternoon session. Martin Davis, chairman of the county central committee, and Miss Bertha Hogan, chairman, were in charge of the meting. Friday night at the Nazarene church Mr. ' Schmidt will speak on "Making Democracy Safe at Home."

FOOD SITUATION

Continued From Page One. the consuming centers have only been supplied by virtue of the summer gardens and other stores carried over from last year. There is a great deal

of livestock which has been ready for the market for some time, but is still held in the farmers hands through inability to secure transportation. These cattle are eating their heads off without increasing their meat value and are only adding to the costs of the farmer and consuming the grain. "The effect of this delayed movement has been many fold: "1. To jeopardize the safety of a great deal of the soft corn and perishables, such as potatoes. Price Conditions Distributed. "2. The stricture in flow of distribution has entirely disturbed the price conditions in the country by practically suspending the law of supply and demand. The margins between the farmer and the consumer in many commodities were never wider than they are today, because the consuming trades are under-supplied and the farmers compete for transportation. Price of the coarse grains have reached unheard of levels, while the limited transportation has diminished the farmers returns. "3. The 'cost of grains for feeding livestock has so increased to the feeders of finished cattle that they face serious losses. The costs of the dairying industries have necessarily greatly increased. "4. Through the large conuming areas we have been living off reserves through the period of scantsupp1ies. These reserves are in many sections approaching exhaustion. "5. We have been unable to transport to seaboard the necessary foodstuffs for the allies. Thi3 has not been due so much to the actual inability of the railways giving priority to foodstuffs for allied shipping as it has been to bringing products from the farms to the terminal markets, where it can be aggregated, prepared and purchased by the allies.

NEW YORl CITY. Feb. 22. Permanent success has finally crowned

the efforts to find a name for the mo

bile hospital unit which is going to France, backed by the National American Woman Suffrage association. The hunt has been for a short name, a name that didn't conflict with any other hospital service, a name that

told the whole story without being too

big a mouthful.

"Women's foreign service hospitals,

U. S. A.," had been suggested. It was too long, but the National American

Woman Suffrage association duly took it over, length and all. Then along came Mrs. Howard W. Beal with a name that was instantly acclaimed as

exactly right. It was "U. S. A. Over seas Hospitals." x Upon the recon

mendation of Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany, chairman of the advisory committee the national suffrage association, the

name was selected. Note the plural. That is because it is expected that this unit will be but the first of a chain of such units. The suffragists of Great Britain are responsible for such a chain of hospitals, which have been making a great deal of war relief history under the title of the "Scottish Women's Hospitals." "What British suffragists have done IT. S. A. suffragists can do," says Mrs. Tiffany. The unit is vouched for also by the New York infirmary for women and children. The women doctors directing the unit's fortune are Dr. Finley, Dr. Edward, Dr. Van Sholly, Dr. Gregory, women whose professional reputations are identified with the infirmary's reputation. The members of the advisory committee are Charles L.. Tiffany (chairman). Dr. Pearce Bailey, Mrs. John Claflin, Dr. Alice Gregory. Mr. E. C. Handerson, Dr. Samuel W. Iambert, Mrs. V. Everit Macy, Dr. Mary D. Rushmore, Mrs. Edwin Thorne, Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. Dr. Mary L.ee Edward, Miss Mary Garrett Hay. Mr. Gustavus Town Kirby, Mrs. Philip Lydig. Mrs. Ogden Mills Reid. Mrs. John L. Wilkie, Mrs. F. Louis Slade, Mrs. Percy R. Turnure. The whole unit will be In France within a fortnight in all probability.

Dr. Finley, who is already there, has cabled for all the rest to come on as quaickly as possible. The personnel of the overseas hospital includes twelve doctors, among whom are gynecologists, general sur-

twenty-one nurses, three ciems, a dietitian, who will act as housekeeper, an assistant dietitian and a seam

stress, six chauffeurs, a plumner ana a mechanic, a pharmacist, a laboratory technician, an X-ray technician, an agriculturist and a number of nurses' aids. MYSTERY POISON

SWEEPSJEORIA PEORIA. 111.. Feb. 22. Within the last twenty-four hours more than 1,000 families in Peoria have reported to the health department that frm one to four members of each household have been mysteriously poisoned. The cases are scattered over the entire city. They include over 10 per cent of the doctors in Peoria. The ailment manifests itself by continued vomitine. cramps, and diarrhea.

The health department has been un

able to locate the cause, Dut u is supposed to be due to the water. Water company officials have rushed samples of water for analysis. Tests made in Peoria show the water pure. Physicians are swamped with calls. Hundreds of workers were sent home today from offices and factories. While the form of poisoning is severe, no deaths have resulted and no alarm is felt.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the' scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. - Do this tonight, .and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv.
