“hpr health was so bad that she had
no’ appetite and she was all the

plaining of awful pains in her stom

wduld sour and she would swell up
with gas till she would be miserable.

I EFFORT TO REPEAL
H PROHIBITION
FISMOMESS
WASHINGTON.—An unfavorable
report on the bill to repeal
the war-time prohibition law was
ordered by the house agricul
ture committee by a vote of 16 to 3.
Representatives John T. Rainey,
Democrat, of Illinois, and Voigt, of
Wisconsin, and Ward, of New York,
Republicans, cast the negative votes.
The only argument for the repeal
was made by Representative Rainey,
who urged a “wet” period until Jan
uary 16, when the constitutional
“dry” amendment becomes effective,
so that the people of small means
might lay in a stock for medicinal
uses,-and the government might get
$500,000,000 in revenue taxes.
“Since the supreme court has de
cided the war-time act is constitu
tional. we must submit to the inevi
table,” said Mr. Rainey, “but men of
wealth have laid in stocks to run
them for ylears, and those of less
means should have some opportun
ity.”
Permission to institute original
procedings to have the national pro
hibition amendment declared uncon
stitutional and New Jersey and fed
eral authorities enjoined from en
forcing it, was asked of the supreme
court today by the Retail Liquor
Dealers’ association of New Jersey.
This was the first question as to
the validity of the constitutional
amendment to reach the supreme
court. George W. Tucker, of New
York, presented the motion together
with a printed brief prepared by the
association, and the court will an
nounce later whether permission to
institute the suit will be granted.
LAWYERS INTIMATE
SLIT BY LIQUOR MEN
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Lawyers
representing large liquor interests in
New York intimated today a civil ac
tion again against the United States
might be the next step in the fight
against prohibition and that compen
sation for losses estimated at $300,-
000,000 would be sought. The lawyers
asserted the decision of the supreme
court virtually confiscated the liquor
held here.
Local banking circles will be but
little affected by the court’s decision,
it was said. Large loans were out
standing on warehouse receipts
earlier in the year, but nearly all
have been liquidated in recent
months.
The dismay with which the liquor
trade received the news yesterday
increased today. So confident were
the •wets that a favorable decision
would be handed down that prepara
tions were complete for delivery of
thousands of dollars worth of liquor
at sho.rt notice. The dealers said it
would now be physically impossible
to ship the liquor In stock to for
eign countries before January 16.
Ship Owners’ Profits
t Declared Fabulous
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Profits
Declared Fabulous
made by ship owners during the war
were “fabulous,” and “unbelievable,”
John H. Rosseter, former director
of operations of the shipping board
told the senate commerce committee
in testimony made public by Chair
man Jones. The board realized enor
mous profits on some ships, he said,
but the earnings of privately-owned
vessels were even greater.

“I brought the train to a stop, cut
the bell cord from its stays and hur
ried to the pond. I saw at a glance
that the ice was too thin to bear my
weight, so tied the rope to a rock
and threw it to the lad, who, though
numbed by the cold, was able to pass
it around his body.
“E. M. Martin, my conductor, help

■-TIMELIOB
DECISION DEFINES
STATUS OF TREATY
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1919, for The Atlanta Journal..)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The war
is still on. There can be no peace
until the president of the United
States proclaims peace and this he
need not do until a treaty of peace
is ratified by the United States gov
ernment and accepted by foreign
governments. The president is the
sole judge of the proper moment for
the Issuance of his proclamation of
peace.
These are the big points which,
entirely apart from a nation-wide in
terest in the liquor question, were
deducted from the decision of the
supreme court of the United States.
So absorbed were most observers in
endeavoring to discover whether or
not the country would be on a wet
or dry basis that the plain speaking
of the unanimous decision of the
supreme court on matters affecting
the status of the peace treaty Itself
did not have its full effect until to
day when the words of the court
were carefully digested by official
Washington.
It isn’t possible, of course, to in
quire into the purposes which the
supreme court had in mind, but
there were many observers who
thought they saw an intent on the
pare of the court at this critical mo
ment in the nations history to set
at rest the confusion which has ex
isted as to whether on not the war
ended with the armistice or with
subsequent acts of the executive
himself.
Crux of Decision
The portion of the decision which
attracted most attention was this:
“In the absence of specific provis
ion to the contrary, the period of
war has been held to extend to the
ratification of the treaty of peace
or the proclamation of peace.
“From the fact that other statutes
concerning war activities contain
each, -a specific provision for de
termining when it shall cease to be
operative and fro mthe alleged ab
sence of such a provision here, it is
argued that the term ‘conclusion of
the war’ should not be given its or
dinary legal meaning; that instead
it should be construed as the time
when actual hostilities ceased, or
when the treaty of peace was signed
at Versailles on June 28, 1919, by
the American and German represen
tatives, or, more generally, when
the actual war emergency ceased by
reason of our complete victory and
the disarmament of the enemy,
coupled with the demobilization of
our army and the closing of war
activities, or when the declared pur
pose of the act of conserving the
man power of the nation and to in
crease efficiency in the production
of arms, munitions, ships, food and
clothing for the army and nevy shall
have been fully satisfied.
“But there is nothing in the words
used to justify such a construction.
of the war’ clearly did
not mean cessation of hostilities be
cause the act (war-time prohibition)
was approved ten days after hostil
ities has ceased upon the signing of
‘the armistice. Nor may we assume
that' congress intended by the phrase
to designate the date when the treaty
of peace should be signed at Ver
sailles or elsewhere by German and
American representatives, since by
the constitution a treaty is only a
proposal until approved by the sen
ate.”
“Approval” and “Ratification”
It will be noticed that the supreme
court uses the phrase “approved by
th esenate” instead of “ratification
by the senate” for the fact is that
strictly speaking the senate does not
ratify but it merely approves or dis
approves of a treaty and the power
of ratification rests with the chief
executive.
Thus the decision of the court
plainly confirms the contentions of
those constitutional lawyers who, in
the last twelve months of contro
versy, have contended that the presi
dent "was the sole judge of whether
the senate had approved or disap
proved of the treaty which he had
negotiated with foreign powers and
that it was discretionary with him
to proclaim ratification only when he
was satisfied that an international
agreement between foreign govern
ments and our own had been reached.
Briefly, therefore, the decision of
the supreme court is regarded as one
of the most effective arguments that
yet has been presented for action on
the part of the senate of the United
States on the pending peace treaty.
There is no peace, says the court,
until the senate approves a treaty
and the president proclaims peace.
Mr. Wilson can regard the inclu
sion of reservations as not affect
ing the treaty provided other na
tions accept these amendments or
reservations, but he is not obliged
to proclaim peace until he has dis
covered whether or not foreign gov
ernments assent to American reser
vations or amendments.
The supreme court’s decision is
expected to dispose effectually of
efforts to bring about a state of
peace by the passage of a joint or
concurrent resolution by congress.
The supreme court of the Unitsd
States has decided that a treaty of
peace means an agreement between
the representatives of Germany and
the United States and not an act
of congress.
Speeding Battleships
To Be Used as Navy Targets
WASHINGTON, D. C.—American
bluejackets will be given an oppor
tunity to test their marksmanship on
real battleships steaming at full
speed under actual battle conditions,
if plans now being worked out at the
navy department materialize. The
bureau of ordnance, it was learned
today, contemplates taking several
obsolete ships to the target range
and using them for targets moving
at full speed. The target ships would
be steered by an electrical “distant
control” system, probably from an
aeroplane or other vessel.
In this manner the battleships
could be maneuvered under condi
tions approximating those of battle.
Smoke screens would be interposed
between the target and the fleet to
simulate a destroyer smoke
screen. Ordnance officers believe
the experiment will provide the gun
ners with the most valuable target
practice system ever used by any
navy. ‘
All Records for Butter

made in the year ending November
1, according to an announcement
made by the American Jersey Cattle
Club.
The butter produced from the cow’s
milk is 100 pounds in excess of her
weight and is said to be five times
as much as the average production
from dairy cows. The milk tested

Cotton, whom he had warned to
stay away from his home. He then
went to his room upstairs. John
Bell, a brother'of the young daugh

in the heart and died instantly.
Pratt returned to the room and mor

Picture Bought for Quart
Os Liquor May Bring Wealth
PITTSBURG, Pa.—The back room
of Fritz Ueberle’s north side saloon
may hold a fortune which was pur
chased for a quart of whisky five
years ago.
The “fortune” Is in the form of a
fourteen-foot art panel believed to
be by Jean Honore Fragonard, for
whose panels both Frick and Morgan
paid large sums. Professor E. F.
Savage, of the Carnegie Institute of
Technology, has pronounced it the
work of Fragonard, but lest his judg
ment be wrong he has asked a num
ber of his contemporaries also to
pass judgment.
It is called the “Campieque
Bargue” and in one corner the name
of Fragonard is woven into the tap
estry. The tapestry formerly hung
back of the bar in the Hotel Antler,
which went out of business five
years ago. Ueberle purchased the
panel for a quart of whisky from
men razing the building.

Rupture Kills
7,000 Annually
Seven thousand persons ench year are laid
nway—the burial certificate being marked
“Rupture.” Why? Because the unfortun
ate ones had neglected thoniselvoa or had
been merely taking care of the sign (swell
ing) of the affliction nnd paying no atten
tion to the cause. What are you doing?
Are you neglecting yourself by wearing a
truss, appliance, or whatever name you
choose to call it? At best, the truss is
only a makeshift —a false prop against a
collapsing wall —and cannot be expected to
act as more than a mere mechanical sup
port. The binding pressure retards blood
circulation, thus robbing the weakened
muscles of that which they need most —
nourishment.
But science has found away, and every
truss, appliance, or whatever name you
a FREE test right in the privacy of their
own home. The PLAPAO method is un
questionably the most scientific, logical and
successful self-treatment for rupture the
world has ever known.
The PLAPAO PAI) when adhering close
ly to the body cannot possibly slip or shift
out of place, therefore, cannot chafe or
pinch. Soft as velvet—easy to apply—in
expensive. To be used whilst you work
and whilst you sleep. No straps, buckles or
springs attached.
Learn how to close the hernial opening
as nature intended so tlie rupture CAN’T
come down. Send your name today to PLA
