AMERICAN PUSH
How Big Things Are Being Accom-
plished to Win the War.

The following which appeared in
daily newspapers recently as a press
dispatch from Buffalo, n. Y, will be
interesting, as showing how Amer
lean energy and genius is being used
to win the war:
GROUND has been broken by the
Curtiss Aeroplane company for the
biggest one-story factory building in
the world, 100000 square feet of
floor space-to manufacture ex-
clusively training planes for the
United States army. Contracts call
for completion of this great struc-
ture 60 days from the time the survey
was made.
This gives some idea of the size of
Uncle Sans preparations fer war in
the air and the pressure being put
behind them.
Up to noon July IS nothing had
been done about this building except
decide that it would have to be built
if the army is to have the training
planes it needs. At noon while all
the other 5000 employees of the COM
pany were at their annual picnic,
General Manager w A. Morgan sat
down with a couple of assistants and
the contractors to work out plans. By
7 o'clock that night contracts were
signed; Sunday morning surveys were
stared; Monday morning ground was
broken and materials for foundations
began to arrive.
In 80 days half the building must
be under roof and in SO more must
be ready to install machinery and be
Gin manufacturing.
This miracle Of rapid construction
is made possible by combination of
good luck and American ingenuity.
The sticking point in all kinds Of
construction now, of course, IS steel
The steel trust is not accepting pr.
vate contracts for delivery under y
months and some Independents want
even more time. Where in earth then
could the steel for such monster
building come from in two weeks? It
happened that the firm which has
taken the Curtiss contract had previ-
ously arranged to build nine large
factory buildings of uniform size and
had secured the steel girders and
beams for them. However, anybody
that knows anything about building
knows that steel fabricated for one
purpose can only in part be used for
another. This is where American in
genuty came in. why not give up
the idea of putting up building of
conventional type?' the engineers
asked "Take these nine buildings of
uniform size. put them up side by
side with the intervening partitions
left out and thus have under nine
roofs a single huge floor space. Of
course the lighting won't be as good;
but these are wartmes, Uncle Sam
needs airplanes, and anything that
will produce the goods has got to GO
So in few hours notifications in
design were made, contracts were
signed, telegraph wires got hot calling
together labor forces and now work
is being pushed with three shifts of
men. 81 hours q day, seven days a
week, in order that America may have
her thousands of airplanes on time.

Text of the Note.

August q, 1917
To His Holiness, Benedict Ky, Pope.
In Acknowledgements of the COM
munieation of your holiness to the
leligerent peoples dated Aug /. 1917.
the PRESIDENT of the United States re-
1uests me to transmi.. the following
reply:
Every heart that has not been blind
ed and hardened by this terrible war
must be touched by this no ing ap-
real of his holiness. the pope, must
feel the dignity and force OF the ha-
name and generous motives which
prompted it and must fervently wish
that we might take the path Of pea ee
he so persuasively points out. But it
would be folly to take it if it does not
in fact lead to the goal he proposes.
Our response must be based upon
stern facts and upon nothing else. It
is not a mere cessation OF arms he
desires; it is stable and enduring
peace. This agony must not be gone
through with again and it must be a
matter of very sober judgment that
will insure US against It.
His holiness in substance proposes
that we return to the status quo an
te-bellum and that then there be a
general conformation, disarmament and
a concert of nations based upon ae-
eeptance of the principle of arbitra-
ton; that by similar concert free
dom of the seas be established, and
that the territorial claims of France
and Italy, the perplexng question of
the Balkan states ard the restitution
of Poland be left to such eonciIiatory
adjustments as may be possible in the
new temper of such peace. due re-
gard being paid to the aspirations Of
the peoples whose political fortunes
and affiliations VII be involved.

CalOmel SaliVateS
and Makes You Sick
Acts Like Dynamite on Sluggish
Liver and You Lose Days Work

OQ LUST LAY VOTh
There's no reason why a person
should take siekening, salivating cal
omel when SO cents buys large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as ealomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty ealomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated tomorrow Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious
ness, constipation, sluggishness,
headache, coated tongue or sour stom-
aeh. Your Druggist says if you don't
find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better
than horrible calomel your money is
waiting for you.
