WASHINGTON
* WEEKLY CHAT
By Robert B. Edson
After all lias been said and done in
Congress as to whatever action is tak
en in regard to the President’s recom
mendations as to stopping the “vicious
practices" largely responsible for the
high cost of living, it will be the De
partment of Justice that, will have the
burden placed upon it of putting and
keeping the machinery in motion to
accomplish the real results. For some
time the Attorney-General has had the
entire secret service of the bureaus at
work assisting other forces now col
lecting evidence 01 gouging by illegal
control of prices, the investigation of
the bomb outrages taking second place.
But now things are to go at, faster
speed than ever before and orders have
been given to hurry the food Investi
gation so that when the proper legis
lation is enacted there will not be a
moment’s delay in having whatever
“teeth” there may be in the measure to
begin biting in such a snappy way
that profiteers will be running for cov
er gnd giving up the ghost. The De
partment of Justice is working twen
ty-four hours a day with all the force
of employees at its command. The
number will be steadily increased as
their fitness for special and confidential
work can be ascertained. There is
talk of establishing a special bureau
independent of the Department of Jus
tice, to carry out the laws of Con
gress on its food price plans, but the
claim is made in many quarters that
a special bureau would always be in
chish with the Department and that
the confusion resulting would be a
detriment—-a case of too many cooks.
No criticism is heard as to the work
and endeavors of the Bureau of Jus
tice. Its wheels are moving smoothly
and effectively.
Quietly and surely, and covering a
long period of time, the experts of
the Agricultural Department have been
making a special study of the problem
as to protecting farmers and fruit
growers from the very large number
of the diseases affecting orchard and
vines, and field and garden vegetables.
Discovery has been made that they or
iginate abroad. Sometimes they have
been introduced through nursery stock
and some through seed and in
other cases their origin is unknown.
The losses to the farmer have been in
calculable and will likely continue
for many years. Asa result of the
expert's work, strict regulations have
been promulgated forbidding the im
portation of seed rice, and requiring
strict supervision of all imported spe
cies and varieties of wheat, oats, and
rye, from all countries. The work of
guarding the United States against
pl&nt as well as human diseases is
most important and the efforts of the
Department experts is receiving the
highest commendation.
✓ Should President Wilson lose his
job or have to seek work, he could
doubtless hire out as a typist. He has
long made a practice of writing State
papers and messages on his typewriter
rather than dictating them to a sten
ographer, or using pen or pencil. He
even types many of his letters, al
though most routine correspondence is
dictated by him. He typed his mes
sage to Congress on the food situation,
working until after midnight, and his
work was almost perfect, according to
the compositors at, the Government
Printing Office, who set the message
in type direct from his manuscript. It
consisted of twenty-seven Isheets of
ordinary typewriter paper and contain
ed between live and six thousand
words.
' It is always an interesting sight
to witness the reception by the Presi
dent of anew diplomat, when present
ing the credentials given him by the
government he represents. Three new
diplomats were received at the V bite
House within a week —those from Sal
vador. Haiti, and Persia. The envoy
from Finland is waiting word as. to
the day and hour for his reception. 1 he
ceremony takes place in the East Room
of tire White House. It is a great
event in the life of the diplomat, but
a routine duty by the President, who
always makes a set speech of welcome,
expressing the friendly feeling that
he knows exists between the Hinted
States and the countries represented
by the envoys. The President, also
expresses a personal wish that the
stay of the diplomats in Washington
will be a west pleasant one. The im
portant reception will be when friend
ly relations have been resumed be
tween the United States and Germany
and the new German Ambassador pre
sents his credentials to the President.

ENGINEER REPORTS
BIG IMPROVEMENT
Declares His Wife (mined Twenty-
Five Pounds Taking Tanlar—
Troubles Have Entirely-
Disappeared.
“Tanlac not only relieved my wife
of her rheumatism but she has actual
ly gained twenty-five pounds since tak
ing it.” said G. G. Geiger, engineer on
the Georgia Railroad, living at 93 East
Linden street, Atlanta, Ga.
“The rheumatism was so bad that
her feet would swell until she could
not get her shoes on and her arms
ached until she said they felt like
they would drop off. Her head ached
and she had dizzy spells and was so
nervous that she could hardly sleep.
Her appetite failed, and she lost stead
ily in weight and strength. She €vas
unable to look after her housework and
finally got so bad that she had to take
to her bed and stay there for weeks,
almost a nervous wreck.
"She tried all kinds of medicines,
but, nothing did her much good, and
I decided to have her try Tanlac. Af
ter taking four bottles, her rheumatism
was entirely relieved, she has no more
headaches, is no longer nervous and
sleeps like a baby. Her appetite is
fine and she is gaining in weight and
strength right along. She is as full
of life and energy as if she were a
different, person and is looking after
the housework as though she had nev
er been sick at all.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere.
