It will be pushed (or early passage, but It Is probable final action cannot be taken by July 1 on account of the prohibition fea tures. The bill would forbid manujr faeture of liquor during the war, but would authorize the President to per mit wlnemaking and to commandeer existing stocks of distilled spirlte. Both Sides Active Not in years, according to several Senators, has such interest been aroused as is indicated by telegrams and letters on the prohibition issue. Thousands of telegrams pourod In upon Senators to-day advocating and opposing the "bone dry" plan, with a majority in opposition. From farmers, merchants, labor unions, temperance societies and municipal officers and organizations the Senators are hearing from "the country" on prohibition. Wisconsin end New England, especially are sources of many protests. Wisconsin farmers and agricultural organiza tions telegraphed to-day that thou, sands of acres of barley had been ; planted there in expectation of con tinuance of brewing. unions are emphasizing loss of employment from closing of breweries and mu nicipal officers the loss of local li cense revenue. A few telegrams were from in dividuals protesting against inter ference with their "use of temper ate" malt beverages in habits of years standing. Many of the telegrams of protest are in identical language, indicating organized opposition. Personal efforts are also being made upon the legislation, especially that which would stop brewing. At torneys and other representatives of national brewing and distilling or ganizations are busy in the lobbies and offices, interviewing Senators. The "drys'' also are active, with leaders of the National Anti-Saloon i league engaged in personal solicita tion of Senators. Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator.—ad. 1 fDoes Vour Milk; and Cream Sour?

Potatoes known as "No. 2" brought as low as $6.00 per barrel. This is a big drop, as thiE grade also sold for SIO.OO a barrel up to a few days ago. The embargo placed on potatoes in Philadelphia yesterday and lifted to day by the Pennsylvania Railroad, was partly responsible for the drop in prices. One dealer said to-day: "With the price at SIO.OO a barrel potato growers were sending any thing they could get out of the ground to eastern markets, princi pally New York, Phtiadelphia and Baltimore. Recently the new pota toes from the eastern shores appear ed and being of a very good variety ftAMISBURG TELEGRAPH found ready sale. Plans were start ed to hold the poorer quality for another raise, but the embargo pre vented this. There were 300 cars in Philadelphia, loaded with lower grade potatoes. Now they can be had rather cheap. "The price may go up a dollar or more within ten days. This will be due to the fact that eastern shore raisers will quit digging after July 5. until the present supply is used up. This may cause a slight scarcity and higher prices. Good potatoes will be plentiful and reasonable in price for at least two weeks."

Mrs. SAVE DAD'S LIFE GET IT FOR HIM Says it is suicide to cut corns and tells how they lift right out. You simply say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very lit tle but Is sufficient to remove every liard or soft corn from one's feet A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness Instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all. can be lift ed out with the fingers without pain. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was Introduced by a Cincin nati man, who says that while free zone is sticky it dries In a moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inflaming or even irri tating the surrounding tissue 'or skin. Don't let father die of Infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but cut this out and make him try it. Lyman D. Gilbert, has been appoint ed chairman of a committee which will secure committees to look after the enrollment or women residing in the boroughs of the county.
