: TO Spend S9O,OOO,0OO
Program of Construction Work Laid
Out for Next Two Years.
spscial to The washington Hrah.

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald
New York, Nov 5.-The Bethlehem Steel
Corporation is planning to spend $50. .oOo. 900
In new construction work and in additions
ito existing plants in the next two years.
Some details Of Bethlehem's expansion
became known last summer, after the
Pennsylvania Steel Company was bought
but Charles NJ Schwab emphasized the
scope of the undertaking In q speech at a
luncheon given him in ST. Louis by the
Members Conference of the Business
Mems League.
For ten years the Bethlehem man has
= been plowing the bulk of earnings back
into the property, with the result that net
assets applicable to the common stock are
considered to be equal to more than s31C
per share.
OF the total expenditures planned ap-
proximately So 10000 will be devoted to
the Pennsylvania and Maryland Steel
companies. The crying need for big
plates for shipbuilding Is expected to
bring about the construction Of several
big rolling mills at Steelton, Pa, which,
with new coke ovens and blast furnaces,
will require the outlay of SIS, 10000. Last
August the Bethlehem bought 152 acres
of land near the Maryland Steel Com
pany's site. and $4,000 900 all told will be
pof ships and ship steel
The home plant at Bethlehem will re-
ceive about $O.Ooo.o00 in additions and
betterments. The company IL understood
to have orders on hand. including shell
contracts, amounting to 500 100000. and
the profit this year Is estimated at around

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 complexion-dark k
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
!ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
30 per cent of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards. a well-known physi-
clan in Ohio. perfected a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil to act
on the liver and bowels, which he gave
q his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitUte for calOmel. are gentle in their
action. yet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by every one, by toning up the
liver and clearing the system of i'm
