He has constructed oovcrnnient plants to prevent prevalent extor tion and forced munition makers to live up to speeifiea tions. An example of the patriotism of the munition makers has just lieen given the country in the contract for projec tiles let an English company. In 11)14, when the depart ment decided to receive bids from English firms, Ameri can manufacturers at once reduced their price from ff'.lOO to $'M) each on 1 1-inch shells and on other sizes in propor tion, securing the contracts and enabling the navy to save 1,077,1210 on (lie one order. Commenting upon the altitude of the American muni tion makers, Secretary Daniels says: "Nothing but the alter failure of the most patient negotiations and appeals to the patriotism of the little group of ptecl manufacturers which have a practical monopoly of this business have made it imperative for tiie I'ovei iiiutnt to build a projectile factory an t feivc i contract to a foreign bidder. "That large manufacturers of war ing the last penny of profit from our urgent necessity gives a certain color to the arg uucul'i ot those wha believe that 'preparedness' Is a synonym for protils and not patriotism. 'J'lie sccielai-v calls attention to the "utter failure of the companies, with no spur of competition to drive them on," to keep pace with the improvements in the (uality of armor-piercing shells being manufactured abroad. The munition trust seemed to think it the department's duty to -permit them to make inferior products and accept with out question anything submitted. Out of thirty-four 1 I -inch shells submitted by the Beth lehem Steel company for t he test, three passed a percent age of 8.8. The Crucible Steel company managed to get .'57.7 per cent of the sample shells .submitted passed, and the Mid vale passed 7:i per cent, while the lladfields, the Eng lish company, ran 100 per cent. The government plant will compel American makers to improve their output and reduce their prices. Tt will pre vent extortion and make for true preparedness.

A proposition is under considera tion for the establishment of a poul try farm in this vicinity, a number of prominent fanners and orchardists having signified their willingness to assist such an enterprise. It is pro posed to organize it on an extensive business basis and to conduct it on strictly scientific lines, from the coop to Ihe market. A meeting will be held hv the as BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub stitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feci "loggy" and "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spir its. 10c and 25c a box. All druggists.
