WILSON REVIVES FOOD MACHINERY

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON', Nov. 21. In an effort to meet the situation resulting from the present acute shortage of sugar. President Wilson today revived

the war time power of the federal government over the nation's food supply. In a proclamation, the president transferred to Attorney General Palmer, the broad authority exercised by Food Administrator Hoover during the war. While it is Mr. Palmer's intention to exercise his authority only so far as sugar is concerned, he is prepared to meet any similar situation affecting other food supplies which may arise. Among the first acts of the department of justice, it is understood, will be the establishment of a price of 12 cents a pound wholesale for all sugar, excepttbe Louisiana crop, the price of which has already been fixed at 17 cents. This increase of price was said to be necessary to prevent a famine during the early part of next year. Sharp curtailment of sugar consumption by candy and soft drink manufacturers also will be ordered as officials declare the present shortage is due in a measure to the increased consumption of candy and soft drinks, which has followed the enforcement of prohibition. Details as to this curtailment remain to be worked out. While the margin between the wholesale and retail price of sugar has not yet been determined, officials are known to have tentatively considered $1.54 cents, making the retail price approximately 14 cents.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS LEAP. AFTER WAR

After two years of very little activ

ity city improvements have begun to take on their pre-war stride show, figures of the city engineer's office show. In 1916, the year before United States entered the war, $102,779.07 was spent for improvements. In 1917, the total expenditures dropped to $39,847.87, and in 1918 to $28,741.98. Now in 1919, the first year following the war, improvements have already risen to $57,721.90. It is impossible to get the total amount this year now, as a number are yet to be made. About $55,926.47 was expended for the paving of streets in 1916. while the amount dropped to $14,117.91 and $S,G43.31 in 1917 and 1918. So far this year the amount is $31,826.31. Cement roadways have also received greater consideration this year. Although the amount expended is not as large, by several thousand dollars, as that spent in 1916, it is an increase of approximately 400 per cent over 1918, and even more in 1917. More attention is being paid to the oiling of streets by the engineering department of the city this year than ever before In 1916, $1,708.43 was spent for this purpose; in 1917, $1,019.59; in 191S. $1,411.10, while $4,719.41 has been expended so far this year.

RHEUMATISM ?

RUN-DOWN? Those of ua who are past middle ace are prone to eat too much meat awl in consequence deposit lime-eelte in the arteries. veins and joints. We often suffer from twinges of rheumatism or lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen hands or feet. There is no longer the slightest need of this, however, as the new Prescription of Dr. Pierce's called "Anuric"(snti-urie-eid) is bound to give immediate results as it is many times more potent than lithia, in ridding the impoverished blood of its poisons by way of the kidneys. It ean be obtained at almost any drug store, by simply asking for Dr. Pierce's Anuric for kidneys or backache. It will overcome such conditions as rheumatism, dropsical swellings, cold extremities, scalding and burning urine and sleeplessness due to constant arising from bed at night. If you wish to give "Anuric" a trial send Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y,, ten cents for a trial package.

Following the syBtem of Dr. Seashore of the University of Iowa, Garfield classes In music were tested on their musical ability through sense to pitch, Friday morning. This is the first of a series of 5 tests, including time, intensity, consonants, and vocal memory. Miss Edna Marlatt introducted the tost to her pupils Friday morning at the request of Iowa University, where she will send all papers receiving a grade between 90 and 100. Approximately 25 pupils received a grade above 90 Friday morning. Kenneth Yager and Meil Logue received perfect grades. The test is made by sounding a series of 100 sets of tones made by tuning fork impressions on a phonograph record. They start with large intervals and grow smaller until they can only be detected by a very sensitive ear.

If the average woman only knew It, it Is not at all difficult to preserve the youthful contour and velvety smoothness of complexion. Kvcry woman hates to see her face wrinkled or baggy, and practically every one has experimented with some sort of patent remedy In the effort either to remove such condition or ward it off. As a matter of fact, the most effective remedy in ths world is or.e that any woman can easily make up herself at home, in a moment's time. Let her take one ounce of pure powdered saxolite. which she can purchase at any drug store, and dissolve it in a half pint of witch hazel. Apply this harmless and refreshing solution to the face every day for awhile. The results are surprising, to say the lea3t. Even after the very first application a marked Improvement is apparent. The wrinkles are less in evidence and the face has a comfortable, smug feeling of firmness that is most delightful. Adv.

Bakers Here Hold Prices Down, Though Wheat's Up

So increase in bread prices is expected until at least Jan. 1, say Richmond bakers. They are allowed by the government a 60 days' supply of flour on hand, and until this is exhausted, they will sell a pound loaf for 10 cats. If the Richmond bakers had to buy flour today, they would be forced to charge more. The wholesale price for number on northern spring wheat flour is $13.03 a barrel and is expected to reach the flo level soon. This price would make the retail price or bread about 12 cents for a pound loaf. The bakers attribute the incrpasing cost of flour to the tendency of millers to pay as high as $3.26 a bushel for wheat, or in other words $1 premium over government prices. Naturally this will force them to charge more
