Summer Complaint.

During the hot weather. of
the summer months some mem
Der of almost every family is
likely to be troubled with an
unnatural looseness of the bow
els, and it is of the greatest inn
portance that this be treated
promptly, which can only be
done when the medicine is kept
at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott,
Scottsville, N. Y, states, 81 first
used Chamberlain's Collie and Di-
arrhoea Remedy as much as five
years ago. At that time l had a
serious attack Of summer COM
plant and was suffering intense
pain. One dose relieved me.
Other members of my family
have since used it with like re-
suits.

Are Your Tomatoes Healthy?

Are Your Tomatoes Healthy?
Reports received by the Uni
Versity of Missouri College of
Agriculture from different parts
OF the state indicate that sew
eral tomato diseases are causing
trouble this year. F. w. Faurot
offers the following suggestions
on control of one of these dis
eases:
Blossom end rot of tomatoes,
as it is commonly called, is a
disease which is largely due to
unfavorable conditions of soil
and moisture. 1t is probably
caused by some physiological
condition rather than by any
specific organism.
The rot occurs first as an APP
parent water soaked condition,
usually at or near the blossom
end of the fruit. The affected
area sooner or later assumes a
blackened or decayed appear
ance. 1t is usually most severe
during drouth periods and on
drouth affected soils. It is also
more likely to occur on the
heavier clay soils than on the
lighter, more sandy soils. Altho
unsuitable soil conditions and
lack of moisture or sudden
checking of moisture supply are
considered the chief factors con-
nected with the appearance of
blossom end rot, the excessive
application of fertilizers or of
stable manure, or excessive
moisture may cause the trouble.
The best probable means of
preventing or holding this rot
in check is to regulate soil con-
ditions and moisture supply so
that the crop will make the
most favorable growth possible.
AS a fertilizer, nitrate of soda
has given the best results.
Variety tests in various states
indicate a marked difference in
the susceptibility of varieties
to the trouble. For example,
Stone, the sort most extensive
ly grown commercially, is re-
ported among the varieties least
affected; while Ponderosa and
Matchl9ss, which are common
in farm gardens, are listed a.
mOng varieties most severely in
.iured.
The nature of the trouble is
such that spraying is practical
ly Ineffective further than it
may aid the vigOr of the plants.
Aside from soil management and
selection of resistant varieties
there are no control measures
to be recommended.

At present there are 270 Gtaxicabs operating in Greater Berlin. but one sees not more than from 15o to 200 cars in the streets, owing to the diff fculty in obtaining gasoline. All the taxicabs are without rubber tires, and the supply of gasoline will be- ex- hausted soon." s&9 g. ytlso.5'9c.A

HENEY PLANNING T0ExTEND N, E,
 PACKING PROBE

Boston. Dec. 29.-Control by the packers of the hide and leather in- dustry. as well as the rendering bus mess. with it's many branches was indicated by the evidence elicited by the federal trade commission which closed for the time being it's local in- qufry into the country's meat indus try today.
 As J. E. Maloney of the Brighton Dressed Meat Co. told of selling his hides to the American Hide & Leather O.. Francis J. Heney. the commis- ston's special counsel. asked whether he was aware that that was Swift concern. The rendering company which took the waste of MT. Maloney's company and the property owners he paid rent to, MT. Heney said, were directly or indirectly in control of the Swifts. ai
 The witness did not know.
 The story of an attempt to operate an independent rendering, company was related bv William M. Mcdonald. at present engaged in the wholesale meat business in this city.
 Mcdonald said he put ,$50000 capital into the rendering plant and borrowed an additional s5O.0OO from the, Ex-, change Trust Co. of this city. At what rate?'' asked MT. Heney. "A $5,000 bonus for six months, a sliding scale of interest, srarung at 10 per cent and decreasing to and 6 per cent. In addition I gave them a mortgage on the plant and $100,000 in bonds which tied me uD so I could not raise any more money on the propertySS' the witness answered.
 At first, Mcdonald said, he had more business than he could attend to, but later he began to feel com- petition and the bank commenced to press him for money. To satisfy their demands, he said, he gave up bit by bit all his property, lost his health and finally the plant, but paid his indebtedness in full.
 In adjourning the session t oenable the commission to return to Washing ton this afternoon MT. Heney said the surface had only been scratched in New England and that he planned to return soon to finish the investiga- ton.
 President John J. Martin of the Exchange Trust Co. denied today testimony given at the federal trade commission inquiry into the prcking business, to the effect that his bank had charged William McDona1d 10 per cent. interest on a loan, or that the bank had accepted bonus for making the loan.

STATE COUNCIL SUGGESTS WAYS
 TO SAVE COAL

Hartford, Dec. 29-Radical changes in methods of, daily living, more sweeping probably than have pre- viously been officially suggested any where in the United States, are pro- posed in letter sent out today by the committee on fuel conservation of the Connecticut State Council of Defense to all the local fuel commit tees in the state. The suggestions aim at 8 saving of coal by reduc1ng the hours within which certain public semipublic places are to be kept open each day. They include the follow ing proposals:
 That saloons, theaters, and other places of amusement be open fewer hours each day; the churches hold union services which would aIlol some of them to close for the dur = tion of the war; that country clubs close wholly or partly; that the holi- day recesses of schools be extended. and that private green houses be closed entirely.
 Among the proposals to be taken up at community meetings is one to cnr-. tail the hours of saloons from 8 q. m. to g p. m. Cardinal Gibbons has already issued an appeal to this eff feet.

 He might, indeed, have saved about S3s2O on what would have cost him e4.0Os but for the en-s4gltedness of a clerk, who complained to Patrolnlan f7aEry Green and caused the mans ar. rest Oa charge of fraud. Camille will be tried in the city court tomer- row.

TAKE MUNTTION PLANTS INVENTORY

Washington, Dec. 29-The govern ment is taking an inventory of all the plants in the country capable of pro- ducing munitions and whose output at any time in the past, in whole or in part, has been munitions. Thou sands of smaller plants scattered over the country have gone into the muni- ton industry on a limited scale. Fac tories engaged in manufacturing farming implements have during the last three years found the business profitable. Many of them are now installing machinery to go into the manufacture on 8 big scale.
 Whether or not a secreary of muni- tions is created, whoever is responsi- ble for the furnishing of the Ameri- can armies with munitions faces a heavy task The determination man. ifested now is to develop forehand- edness in this important part of the war program.
