PROVIDES FOR CONTROL
OF EXPLOSIVES OUTPUT
Representative Kent Introduces Res.
olution as Possible Solution of
War Problem.

A new idea in connection with the
proposed world-control of explosives
and possible solution of the war
problem. is contained in the resolution
introduced by Representative Kent OF
California. Mr.. Kent believes that il
there should be real monopoly in the
manufacture of explosives, to be con-
trolled or operated by the government
there would be an end to the question
of who is shipping gunpowder, nitro
glycerin and other war-making ele-
ments abroad.
pointed to report a plan for creating
a government monopoly for the manu-
facture and control of explosives" and
that suggestions be made to our rep
resentatives at The Hague that it
would be we'll to consult with foreign
nations as to suitable action to be
taken by the nations of the world to-
ward controlling the manufacture. dis
tribution and use of explosives and
other munitions Of war"
Statements in Resolution.
The resolution contains the following
statements:
in the matter of manufacture of ex-
plosives.
Under the agreements of this trust
foreign manufa cturers have bound
themselves to refrain from selling
powder in the United States, even to
the United States government, that the
interests of the American powder trust
may be protected against foreign COM
petition.
'"The prices charged by the American
trust against the federal government
for explosives used by the army and
navy are extortionate and unreason-
able.
THE manufacture by the government
of explosives for the army and navy
is rendered unduly expensive by the
lack of continuity of manufacture.
Powder manufactured in large guam
titles and stored is subject to serious
deterioration.
Economical and practical manufac-
ture require the continuing operation
of the mills and the continuing en-
ployment of q skilled force which in
time of peace can only be accomplished
by supplying explosives for other than
military purposes.
Fails to Guard Inventions.
The inventions of American officers
are not retained as secret processes
for the benefit OF the American gov
ernment. but have been freely given
to the powder trust, which is at liberty
to sell to foreign governments that
may be at war with US. the work OF
our own inventors and army officers.
1T is practically impossible to re-
strain the international trade in NUM-
tions of war, even though our gov
ernment may attempt to do so in the
interests Of peace.
"All war is dependent upon the use OF
explosives and can largely be pre-
vented by the control of those explo-
sives."

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no need
of having a sallow compleNion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a Dill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent of all sickness comes from inactive
bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician IN
Ohio. perfected a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and
bowels. which he gave 20 his patients Tor
years.
NDr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the subeti-
tute for calome., are gentle in their action,
yet always effective.
They bring about that ezuberance OF
spirit, that natural buoyancy which should
be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the
liver and clearing the system OF impurities.

Amos VIII Resume.

A meeting of the Amos people
was held at the office of Bristow &
Binder Saturday night and arrange
ments were perfected whereby the
well will be deepened to a depth
of 1000 feet. This information will
prove highly pleasing to Comanche
people, who are desirous of seeing
a fair test made inthis section. they
are firm in their belief that oil is
here, and nothing short of a test to
that depth will satisfy them.
Financial matters have been put in
shape and there will be no further
delay. Hope runs high that oil will
be found in paying quantities and
that the promoters may find the re-
ward their efforts have merited.
