MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue. to
accept "extracts" of cod kye,s think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod ivey oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod kirey oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

 Review of Negotiations.
 aThe mediation negotiations and
 their result are summed up in the
 following statement issued at a. m.
 by the committee from, the Council of
 National Defense:
 We desire to express our appre-
 citation of the large and patriotic ac-
 ton of the railway managers com
 mittee which has put beyond perad-
 venture the possibility of nation wide railroad strike.
 The railroads have met the full demands of the Adamson eight hour law: This concession was secured as the continuation of two days and
 nights of negotiations.
 Our first effort was to secure postponement of the strike which was fixed for Saturday night. This post ponement was secured by presenting to the railway managers memOran- 1 dunn agreement drafted by the broth erhoods. which with some particular l ity. expressed the provisions of the Adamson law. We asked the rail- I roads to agree that, if the Adamson ! law was held to be constitutional, this construction and application would be given to it. The railroads agreed to
 this at joint session between the l brotherhood chiefs and the managers. 1 And with much difficulty the chiefs stayed the strike. an act that was vital to our effects at further mediation. we next sought some adjustment that would be effective should the law be held to be unconstitutional. In this regard many propositions were made to both sides until the railroads l expressed willingness to place the 1 whole matter in the hands of the l committee. This action proceeded, as ! the letter of the railway managers states, from desire to- demonstrate 1 to the country that the railroads would not allow their own conception of railroad policy to stand in the way of the fullest use of the roads at a time of severe national strain. The committee considered the matter and decided that in view of the action of congress in passing the Adamson law and the necessity for immediate ac- ton that 1t was best to adopt. once, the memorandum agreement of the previous day as applicable under all (Continued On Eleventh Page).

 Patriotism Prevents Chaos. That the crisis resulting from the sinking of three American ships by German submarines was the prime fo 3v1 o1n o4k storing the country to normal cOndi-
 tions insofar as it's transportation fa- cilities were concerned was conceded
 by all. The railroad managers, who. until | a late hour last night, had held out against the brotherhoods, had been dismissed temporarily by the presi- dents mediators, who made no secret ! of the fact that they viewed the out ! look with pessimism. Secretary Lane, O short time before word came that managers had yielded, issued state ment that the conferences would be ] resumed today, but intimated that he was none too hopeful of g settlement. The railroad managers and the brotherhood chiefs had been told of l the seriousness of the international situation, but the warning apparently | had fallen on deaf ears. It was evil dent that the strike which originally
 had been set for Saturday evening at r o'clock but had postponed to per init of further negotiations undoubt- edly would become effective unless something more intervened than the mere suggestion that the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany might lead to open hostilities.

HIGH EXPLOSIVE IS
 ENGLISH GIRLS GUM
Cordite, Used in Making Munitions. Produces Same Effect As
 Powerful Narcotic

London, March 19-Omcials of the ministry of munitions have discov- cred that a good deal of the drunk enness" attributed to women and comparatively young girls is due to another and hitherto unsuspected cause.-the chewing of cordite. the smokeless explosive is being used as sort of "pick-me-up'' by the tired intuition workers but it's ef- feet on their health Is very injurious and remedial measures are being talk en by the authorities.
 Cordite. when chewed, has all the exhilirating effects Of a highly stim- ulating drug and cannot be tam- pered with except at great risk. It's effect on the nervous system are i'm mediate and ultimately deadly. Be- sides. like all such drugs it has to be taken in increasing quantities if the qualification is to be maintained.
 The effect Of cordite as an "intox- icant" was first discovered during the South African war. Some British soldiers found to their surprise that by eating cordite they could get all the excitement of the most powerful narcotic-and all the terrible effects, too.
 cordite consists roughly of about hfty-eight parts of nitro .glycerine, thirty-seven parts guncotton and five parts of mineral jelly. Each car fridge contains sixty cylindrical stands of cordite.
 An official of the ministry of ,mu- nttions experimented on himself by snckang a strand. He found that it tasted sweet. pleasant. and pungent but 1t resulted in giving him the most racking, splitting headache, and 1t lasted for thirty-six hours.
