sWorks Both Ways"

The getting OF two distinct values when
purchasing one article applies pretty gem
orally in the field OF merchandise these
times, extending even unto liniments.
While most articles OF this nature are in
tended for external use only, . notable
exception is the famous Johnson's Ano-
dyne Liniment. Powerful enough for
every requirement of outside application
when needed for sprains, strains. muscu-
lar rheumatism, all aches, pains, and
soreness, it is, in addition, wonderfully
effective preparation for internal use in
the cases of colds, coughs, sore throat,
cramps, chills, etc, when necessary that
its remarkable soothing and healing quail
tiles go direct to the seat Of an inward
trouble. Thus, in Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment you get two in one-internal
and external use-the double value lini-
ment as it is known. Over 100 years OF
splendid service to humanity have made

ON ADVISORY COMM SSION w. Irving Bulard, Member of Ener- gency Organization, to Speed Up Manufacturing for Government.

w Irving Bullard, at Washington, at the weekend, was named as chairman of the manufa cturers' committee of the advisory commission of the coun- cil of national defense.
 At the meeting in Washington an emergency organization was formed representing the allied textile supply manufa cturers and dealers of the country for the purpose of aiding the government, the council of and textile mille in obtaining more efficient ser vice and greater cooperation under the emergency conditions now prevailing, and to place at the disposal of the government the united information of the members of the association. Rep resentatives of textile and mill supply interests in all parts of the United States attended the conference.
 MT Bullard said Sunday that the purpose of the organization is to mo- bilize the industrial supply resources of the nation. That this must be done in order that government needs in the prosecution of the war be met is in dicated by the extraordinary demands to meet, for instance, the army needs.
 Before December 31 next, Mir. Bull lard says, the government seeks the delivery of 19,000,000 pounds of army duck, for tenting, for camps anr other purposes. The mills now engaged in making this duck have capacity Of
