Food Control Act Gets Senate Approval. Washington, Sept. 12.-the house bill extending the food control act to penalize profiteering, as request ed by President Wilson and Attor ney General Palmer, as a means of reducing the cost of living, was pass ed by the senate late today and sent to conference. In addition to penalties-$5,000 fine and two years' imprisonment for profiteering, hoarding, destroy ing or monopolizing of food and other necessaries or "making an un just or unreasonable rate of charge,' the bill extends the law to include wearing apparel and containers of food, fuel, fertilizers and agricultu ral machinery. The life of the pro posed law would terminate upon the proclamation of peace. Although many senators criticiz ed the bill and, with general ex pressions of .reluctance grudgingly assented to its passage without a rec ord vote, there was virtually no op position to the measure and only about a dozen senators followed its course. Only one amendment of substance was made to the bill as passed by the house-a rider proposing an official body to supervise property rentals in the Districtof Columbia to prevent profiteering. The senate struck out a committee amendment, championed by Senator Smith, democrat, Georgia, authoriz 4ng specifically the establishment by the department of justice of "fair price" committees and providing that charges above the price sched-j ules fixed by such committees should be considered to be profiteering. As passed, however, the bill does not prohibit or limit the department's plan to administer the law through the agencies of voluntary "fair price" committees. All of the house provisions designed to extend the operation of and "put teeth" in the law were adopted by the senate. After passing the bill the senate adjourned till Monday. Just What She Needed. "I used a bottle of Chamberlain's Tablets some time ago and they proved to be just what I needed," whites Mrs. Volta Bankson, Chilli cothe, Mo. They not only relieved me of indigestion but toned up my liver and rid me of backache and dizziness that I had been subject to for some time. They did me a world of good and I will always speak a good word for them." Discharged Soldiers Must Not Wear Uniform. Civilians and former soldiers who have been illegally wearing the uni form of a soldier will be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law after September 1, orders to arrest all men violating the Federal statutes covering these cases, having been issued at Camp Jackson. Only soldiers and sailors on active duty and soldiers and sailors who have been discharged will wear the pre scribed uniform and in the case of men discharged they must not wear the uniform after three months and during that three months must dis play the red chevron, noting that a discharge has been granted, on the left sleeve. Cases will be brought against those violating the law under Sec tions 3142 and 3478 of the penal code and all men arrested upon au thority of these sections will be dealt with severely. An order pub lished at Camp Jackson prohibiting the wearing of the uniform except by soldiers and sailors says in part: "Civilians who may wish to wear any article of the outer uniform se cured at authorized public auction sales must first remove the uniform buttons and other insignia and dye the cloth a color distinct from that of uniforms of the United States army or navy. "It must be understood that the wearing of articles of uniform se cured in an illegal manner is forbid den and made punishable by above named section of revised statues and criminal code. : "After September ?, 1919, no civ ilian will be permitted to wear the uniform other than prescribed above and in case of violation of this order drastic action will be taken."
