Relieves Serious Case M
of Chronic Constipation
DR.. CaldrUePs Syrup Pepsin
COrrectS Condition That
Seemed Hopeless

After 81 ering from chronic con-
stipation until she was so run down
she was unable to do any kind of
work, Miss II. A. Frees. 200 Adams
street, Dayton, Ohio, obtained n bot
tie of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
and used Il with such gratifying re-
suits that she continued the treat
ment and has written to DR.. Caldwell
that her condition is again normal,
and that she wants to recommend
Syrup Pepsin to everyone who suf-
fers with constipation.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepstn, gentle in it's action and
free from gripping or other pain or dis
comfort. 1t contains no opiate or
narcotic drug, and, while acting read
lily on the most stubborn case of in
active bowels, is absolutely safe for
the tiniest babe, so that it is the ideal
family laxative and should be kept
on hand in every household for use
when needed.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin costs
only fifty >ents a bottle and is sold
in drug stores everywhere. To avoid

For wheat the government will
guarantee the farmer the following
minimum prices per quarter: For the
preeSnt year so shillingS; for 1918 and
1919, 90 shillings; for 1920, 1921 and
1922, 45 shillings.
Brewing will be cut down to ten
million barrels annually. A similar
reduction will be made in the output
of spirits, affecting a saving of 600, 900
tons of food stuffs.
Must Cultivate Land
The importation of aerate, mineral
and table waters will be prohibited.
Powers will be given to the Board of
Agriculture to compel land owners to
cultivate their ground. The minimum
wage for farm labor announced by
Mr.. Lloyd George, 25 shillings a week,
per cent. over the present prevailing
payment.
The importation of paper the pre-
mler announced, must be curtailed by
further $4,000 tons annually.
The only eXpections made in the
prohibition of fruit importations will
be in the cases of oranges and bananas
in which the amount brought in will
be restricted 25 per cent. The same
restriction will apply to nuts. Canned
salmon importations will be reduced
90 per cent. The importation of for
eign tea, coffee and cocoa is prohibit
ed and even the amount of India tea
which may be bought in is reduced.

Premier Lloyd George said the sue
cess of the allied cause depended upon
ability to solve the tonnage shortage,
which was now affecting the ordinary
needs of the nation and military eXi-
gencieS The situation, he declared,
called for the gravest measures.
The premier said there was no sure
way to victory without hunting the
submarines from the deep.
Enormous sacrifices were necessary
from the British public, said Mr.. Lloyd
George. He stated the government
proposed to dispense with all non-es-
sential importations to save tonnage.
There was a crowded house at the
special meeting held to-day to listen
to the premier's statement on the re-
striction of imports and the encour-
agement of agriculture. Among those
in the diplomatic gallery were Premier
Borden, of Canada; Premier Massy, of
New Zealand, and many representa-
tiVes of allied nations and the domin-
ions.
Success Depends on Cooperation
The premier said the ultimate sue
cess of the allied cause depended on
the solution of the tonnage difficult
ties with which they were confronted.
Before the war British tonnage had
been just adequate and since that time
there had been an enormous increase
in the demand for tonnage. More than
/ 900, 600 tons of British shipping had
been allocated to France alone and a
very considerable amount had been
set aside for Russia and Italy. In ad-
dition a considerable amount had been
sunk.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that for some
time there has been a shortage of ton
mage required for the general needs
age in the tonnage for military pur.
poses. The nation should realize alb
solutely what the conditions are
Government Hopeful
IF we take drastic measures" he
continued, I'VE can cope with the sub.
marine menace, but If the nation is
not prepared to accept drastic meas.
ures for dealing with the menace, dis
aster is before us.
The government is hopeful of find.
ing means of dealing with the subma.
rine but we should be guilty of folly
if we rested TRANQUILITY upon the ex.
pectation of realization of that hope
We have to deal ruthlessly and
promptly with the tonnage problem by
measures which impose great sacrifice
upon the country.
There are three sets of measures:
First, by the navy, as described by Sir
Edward Carson (first lord of the Ad-
miralty); second, the building of mer-
chant ships; third, dispensing with un-
necessary commodities from abroad
and production of as much food as
possible at home"

THIS WILL MAKE
MILLIONS HAPPY
Any corn will dry up and lift out,
says a Cincinnati
authority.

Let folks step on your feet here
after; wear shoes a size smaller If you
like, for corns will never again send
electric sparks of pain through you,
according to this authority.
He says that few drops of q drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is said to simply shrivel up the
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that a quarter of an
ounce obtained at any drug store will
cost very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from ones feet. Cut this out, espe-
cially if you are q woman reader who
wears high heels.

save 900, 900 tons of shi ipping yearly on
foodstuffs
In announcing the decision to re-
strict the Importation of paper Mr.
Lloyd George said the government had
arrived at the conclusion that a very
substantial reduction was necessary
and that the amount could be cut TO
half of what is now allowed This
would reduce the allowance to $40, 900
tons.
Essential Articles Free
All essential articles of food, he
continued, would be on the free list,
but certain articles would be reduced
or prohibited. The stoppage of i'm
portation of coffee, tea and cocoa for
the time being was due to the fact
that large supplies were on hand. The
premier said he regretted very much
the cutting off of certain luxuries
which came from France and Italy,
These restrictions would be i'm
posed Immediately, said the premier
Steps would be taken to prevent spe-
culative buying and if necessary the
food controller would take control of
the commodity. The restrictions had
been carefully considered, and he ask
ed the House to take them as a whole.
Can Then Face the Worst
The premier declared he had not
the slightest doubt that if the whole
program were carried out and if all
those who could help in production
did help, 1T honestly say we can face
the worst the enemy can do, and that
is what we ought to be prepared to
do"
In dealing with the question of pro-
duction the premier said.
''Then there is the question of our
home supplies of food. I want the
country to know that at present our
food stocks are low. This is not due
to submarines, but to the bad harvest.

RAILROAD EFFICIENCY

The late James ]. Hill used to say
and to repeat that if the railroads of
the country were to keep up with its
transportation requirements they must
be enabled to expend on capital ac-
count billion or more dollars year.
1t is now matter of record, COM
ing through the Railroads War Board
that with the expenditure of hardly a
dollar for new facilities, and merely
by intensifying the use of trackage
and cars and locomotives already on
hand, the roads have added to their
freight service IAN amount equal to
the freight traffic of Great Britain,
France, Russia, Germany and Austria
combined"
Twenty million miles of train Ser
vice year have been saved by cut
ting out unessential passenger trains.
The freight car shortage of 1852 on
April 80 was down to 33,776 on Aug.
1.
The movement of freight cars has
been quickened to a rate never known
before. Their loadings always before
averaging way below marked capacity
have been brought up somewhere
near to capacity, and in many cases
as with coal, have exceeded the ca
pacity marked on the cars.
1t may be said by way of summary
that the efficiency of present equip
ment has been so greatly increased
that, with the transportation of mil
lion troops and all their equipmen
over the country, additional to that Of
general war work and the largest
harvests on the whole ever gathered
the RAILROADS are now in a position tc
meet the unprecedented strain.
Mr.. Hill may have been right fol
the long future of American railroad
ing. But greater efficiency in the us,
of present facilities was superior
need and it mas been wonderful!
achieved. Will the country ever Civ
up the policy of unified direction b!
which it has been brought about?

A GREAT CITY EDITOR

! Wonderful the wisdom of the great
editor of the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Humorist, too, this writer of heavy
thought for the metropolitan press.
His attention has been directed to
Bridgeton and he revels in pleasan-
try. Here is one of his thoughtful
editorial leaders which he gives forth
to waiting world:
BridgetOn's Surfeit of Carnivals
"The Jersey town of Bridgeton has
become blase. 1t has greatly wearied
of the constant social whirl. Soul
fully it yearns for the glory of sleep,
and would welcome once more the
restful nights and the old-time pro-
sale life.
Travelling carnivals comprised the
social vortex into which Bridgeton
was thrown to its ultimate undoing.
1t was carnival last week, a carni-
val this week, and a carnival next
week. AS a matter of fact, it was
carnivals everlastingly.
"And, moreover, all that Bridgeton
got in return for it's losos of sleep
while the sideshow band was playing
and the barkers were yodling was the
privilege of taking a chance on a set
of dishes or something that somebody
else always seemed to get. Try as
often as he might his supply of nick
els never seemed equal to the frivol-
ity of the wheel of fortune
Wherefore, Bridgeton demurred,
and the Town Council patiently list
ened. Mayhap the Town Council too
had broken a dollar into nickels only
to be relieved of the responsibility of
carrying around so much heavy
change. At any rate. the Town Coun-
Gil acted, and now future travelling
carnivals will have to pay $10O a day
for entertaining Bridgeton and SIS for
every additional day.
"Not much, of course, for a n 'ckel
gatherer like carnival company, but
it may thin them out bit, and not
only give Bridgeton it's much-needed
rest, but afford cake sales, benefits
and other local enterprises on occa-
sional opportunity to hold winning
hand"
Bridgeton pioneer., 1917-09-13
ENTERTAINMENT WANTED

The theatrical managers of the
country and the War Work Council of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton are discovering at about the
same time that neither civilians nor
soldiers want "sob stuff at their
places of entertainment. Word comes
from the East that there are to be
fewer plays of serious nature in
the coming season. and the Y. NJ C.
A. managers say that the eight mil
lion or so feet of film they are pre-
pairing to show in the army canton
ments at home and abroad will have
little to do with "nome and mother
Both here and abroad all are working
hard. People want to be relaxed, not
narrowed. The mission of the enter
tainer now is only to entertain.
We are all more or less in the situ-
alton of the tired business man, for
whose special benefit roof garden
shows were made. We are. doing a
good deal more thinking than usual,
and thinking is hard work, as any one
knows who has tried it. The young
fellows VINO are going abroad are
busy learning the work of the soldier
and the folks at home are under a
cumulative strain. So those who un-
derstand why the follies and the reve-
nues succeed in the great centres of
mental pressure will comprehend why
all over the country we have the
promise of diet of comedy farce and
frOthy music. Those who still prefer
something more substantial can only
make the best of it.

JUST WON'T BE QUIET

Swarts, the shoemaker of 1876 East
Main Street, next door to the Repub-
lican Office, and Ellis Wood, of 13s
East Main Street, produce dealer
were each fined $50 and costs by
Mayor Thomas Whitaker this week on
the charge of illegal sale of liquor.
For some unaccountable reason City
Marshal Charles Biggs, who is said to
have had charge of the case, appar-
enetly wished to hush the matter up
and when asked about the case had
nothing to say. In fact, he said that
the Bridgeton News had agreed not
to publish it in their Millville edition,
making itself a party to the hush
game.
Just why some illegal sale cases are
spread broadcast and the police are
not reticent about them, and others
are kept quiet, the Republican has not
Ueeu dUle W lodih put VIC udhS II
clear at this time, as we have in the
past, that we will continue to publish
the news, regardless of whom it may
strike, as far as law-breaking is con-
cerned, and the policeman who shields
a lawbreaker will be publicly exposed
in the Republican can get the facts.
So far as the news being shut off
from us because the Republican dares
to tell the truth is concerned, we do
not fear Public officials will go slow
in withholding matters which are
public property and are published the
world over. Possibly one member Of
the police force can recall a little in
cident which occurred about a year
ago in the Republican Office, when on
his knees (fguratively speaking) he
asked this paper for mercy. History
has way of repeating itself, and We
might say right here for his benefit as
well as any other member of the force
who wants to try the game, that next
time there will be no mercy.
We do not propose to shield law
breakers, little or big, nor do we pro-
pose that the police shall do so if it
can be prevented, and we think it can.
By the way, is there any connection
between this attempt at suppression
of facts and certain snapper soup
supper served something like ten days
ago?
If the police want to get real busy
and do something, there are other
places along Main Street, between I'd
and High, which would no doubt help
to replenish the city's treasury
