Placed on Tree List. : "WASHINGTO.V. Feb. 2. The most sweeping removal of restrictions upon the exportation of foodstuffs made since the signing of the armistice was Announced today by the War Trade Board. Commodities removed from the export conservation list were barley, corn and rye, including flour and meal made from these grains, oats and oats products, brewers' grains, bran and middlings, eans, dried and split peas, sugar and hydrogenated cotton seed oil. - These articles constituted a majority Of the food items on the restricted list and their removal la effective imme diately. Licenses to export them will be granted freely to all destinations, including: Cireat Britain, France, Italy and Belgium. Heretofore such exports to these allied countries were made ex clusively by the Food Administration's grain corporation and the Wheat Ex port Company. Attention was called to the fact that wheat and wheat flour remain on the restricted list. There was no indication when the embargo on those commodi ties would be removed, but it was said that it probably would remain in force until the Government's agreement with th farmers for a maximum, price on the 1919 wheat crop had expired. Removiil of the embargo on the other grains was expected by some of ficials to stabilize prices and relieve What was described as a congested market. An advance in the price of corn was looked for by reason of the fact that prices fell sharply several weeks ago when removal of the em bargo against the importation of Ar gentine corn was announced. It was said that there was a heavy demand in foreign countries for some of the grains now placed on the free list, particularly for rye. t BCTTER ritlCES DROP RAPIDIiX Product in Cartons 1'alls From 54 to 17 Cents a Pound.

OUTLET G1VEX FOR BARLEY California to Dispose of Surplus of 400,000 Tons. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. Removal of the export restrictions on barley, an nounced today by the War Trade Board wifh the statement that export licenses HER NERVOUS ;headaches have disappeared Iowa Woman Tells How She En ; riched Her Blood and Sent Food to Starved Nerves. "Worry and overwork combined, cause a heavy drain on the nervous system, resulting in a waste of tissue that must be built up if the body is to be kept free from serious nervous disorders. So-called " high - strung " people, those who are working on their "nerve," can continue the pace only jf their blood is red and healthy for the nerves receive their nourishment through the blood. If the blood is rich in quality the nerves are rebuilt as quickly as they are exhausted but if the blood is thin and anemic the system's reserve is drawn on eo heavily that a nervous breakdown or some form of nervous disorder is almost in evitable. -Nervous disorders generally yield to treatment which results in building up the blood. Nervous headaches often disappear when the impoverished blood is enriched. An example of the successful use of the tonic treatment for. the relief of nervous headaches is thus described by Mrs. J. H. Morgan, of Correctionville, Iowa, who says: "Some years ago I was in a terribly nervous and run-down condition and suffered greatly from nervous head aches. My head seemed as though it would burst, and I had frequent dizzy epclls. I was in C spair of getting well until I read about Dr. Williams' Pink I '111 a and began taking them. They just suited my case and since then I have used them as a family medicine. .'More recently I suffered untold agony with pain and numbness in my hands and arms up to the shoulders. My hands were so swollen and the muscles so sore that I could hardly dress myself. For a time I could not close my left hand. During the day if I kept moving the pain did not aeem so bad, but my hands were always numb. I again used Dr. Williams' Fink Pills and found them good for this trouble also, as they entirely re lieved me. The pills have done more for me than anything else and I recom mend them heartily." Dr. Williams I'lnk Fills are un equaled for the treatment of even the most severe nervous disorders, euch as , neuralgia, partial paralysis and St Vitus' dance. As a tonic for the blood ' nnrt nerves they are used everywhere with the greatest success, building up ' wasted bodies and bringing the glow if health to pale and sallow cheeks.

Mexico has not been connected di rectly with the war, and the opinion in official circles is that business in terests of foreign powers which have suffered confiscation in Mexico prob ably cannot get a hearing in Paris un til the society of nations is organized fully and the main issues connected with the war passed upon. Under the Monroe doctrine the Unit ed States naturally would be consulted before any steps were taken to bring about an adjustment of the friction be tween Mexico and foreign powers. As a result, the Mexican difficulties are being watched eagerly because of the possibility that they may indicate how the society of nations will affect his toric American policy.

Thousands of Portlanders have been baptized, married and buried from the little building, which was the center of social life in East Portland for many years. The first pastor was the late Louis Gerhard. Father James H. Black, present priest, has been in charge for the past 19 years. Eight years ago, when it was found that this building was no longer large enough to accommodate its members, the present cathedral, at East Twelfth and Pine streets, was erected. The old building has been used only for school and recreational purposes. It is now being razed because the wood has de cayed. The structure was considered unsafe. Scores of persons attended the fu neral of a canary bird at the home of Harry Chambers, Jloorestown, N. J. The bird was 25 years old, and many grownups had known it since they were children. It was buried in a little silver box. Read The Oregonian classified ads. ELEVENTH A.D OAlv STREETS. to $45.00 to $63.00 to $78.50 to $95.00 final. All sales cash.

"If I should be asked to name tho best medicine in tho world I would not hesitate to say Tanlac, and I'll tell yoi the reason why." said T. J. Cowling, of 459 West Baldwin street. Portland.

The climax c:mie several months ago, when my appetite left me entirely and my stomach got in such a bad fix that I couldn't eat anything but what gas would form, causing such intense pain about my heart that I could hardly endure it. I suffered so muvh from this condition that I was compelled to give up my work and try to get relief. 1 whs finally taken to the hospital and th night I arrived there I thought I was going to die, my pain whs so greiil. Well. I lay in the hospital for two weeks and etayed at home for thre weeks more before I was able to get out. I tiiought I was going to be forced to give up my Job entirely, .is 1 had no strength or energy. It was an effort for me to keep going v. hen 1 did go to work and 1 was o exhausted when the day was over that I could hardly get home. My kidneys were all out of order and disturbed me at night so I could get no sound sleep, and my back would hurt me so bad for three and four days at a time that I could hardly straighten up. "My condition had heroine alarming and the best results I could get from any treatment or medicine, until I took Tanlac was a little passing re lief. I had not been taking Tanlac but a few days when my appetite picked up and I began to feel stronger. I have just finished my fifth bottle now and am feeling Just like a brand new man. I am eating three good meals a day now without the slightest trouble afterwards. I also sleep better and am putting In full flme at my work.
