It was disclosed that Director Hoover y have, in some particulars, exercised more authority Reed and his colleagues ever granted him, and that may have smashed some perfectly good theories in be- lf of actual, practical effects. These things may smack of lese majeste in Washington, but the country at large sees, is and cares for the actual results only. When Hoover entered upon his work, saving of sugar ‘and wheat for the allies were the immediate war necessi- ties. The allies got the sugar and the wheat. Moreover, while Hoover was squeezing the sugar and wheat out of us, the refiners and millers were not squeezing ‘exorbitant prices out of us for what sugar and wheat we could get. Instead of 30 and 40, we have paid 814 to 10 cents for sugar, and three or four hundred millions of dol- Jars has been saved to consumers of flour, with producers ef wheat getting unusually fair prices.

Oth-| er symptoms are heartburn, thirst, | nausea, eructations of gas, head ache and constipation. | The appetite may be finicky. It may be very sharp or entirely ab. sent. The tongue may be clean, giving no indication of the trouble below Those who suffer from this form of indigestion should avoid spices, | alcohol, strong tea and coffee. | A rather more common form of in-| digestion shows itself by such symp- toms as loas of appetite, unpleasant taste in the mouth, coated tongue, vomiting, dizziness, headache, sense of fullness or weight in the stomach with perhaps slight pain and consti- pation. Those who suffer from this form should avoid hot cakes, pastry and cereals if the latter are found to dis- agree In this form of stomach trouble, apices and well seasoned food are often desirable as an aid to digestion, A tumblerful of hot water taken half an hour before meals will help prevent the trouble.
