A Heart to Heart Talk About
Benetol and Doctors

being prescription that some doctor hap.
pened to write for some particular ailment.
Benetol is an original discovery, arrived
at by DR.. H. c. Carel, after years of per-
sistent research, while Chemist to the Min
nesota State Board Of Health and Head Of
the Department of Medical Chemistry and
Toxicology in the University Of Minnesota.
Every statement made as to the merits of
Benetol is tested, recorded fact.
There is no argument possible when we
say that Benetol is 23 per cent stronger
than straight carbolic acid as germ de-
stroyer, for that is the strength recorded
for it in Bulletin No. 81, page 50. United
States Health Service Hygienic Laboratory.
Also there is no argument possible as to
its being non-poisonous-for thousands Of
people are drinking it every day for stom-
aeh and bowel troubles, alterations. etc
Pour it straight from the bottle into an
open wound or on to bad burn and it will
not even cause a blister-but will only
soothe and heal.

Prof. Paul N. Milukoff spent yester-

representatives of the entente allies
after which he entered upon a long
cabinet conference. One of the first
acts Of the minister was to send a
series Of cable messages to the Rus

that Russia was united in the desire
to tight out the war with the allies,
the determination to continue the
conflict until victory is achieved be-

railroads to agree to. this. With
much difficulty the chiefs stayed the
strike. an act that was vital to the
success of our efforts at further
mediation.
Many Plans Suggested.
I'VE next sought some adjustment
which would be effective should the
law be held to be unconstitutional.
In this regard many propositions
WERE made to both sides until the
railroads expressed a willingness to
place the whole matter in the hands
OF the committee. This action pro-
ceeded from desire to demonstrate
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 q
time of severe national strain. The
committee considered the matter ana
considered that in view of the action
OF congress- in passing the Adamson
law and the necessity for immediate
action. that It was best to adopt the
memorandum agreement Of the pre-
vious day as applicable under all con-
ditions. Then, the provisions Of
tween the roads and the men. became

had been averted came unexpected,
early this morning when a represen

Az a Rule-the great physicians of the
country have adopted Benetol as being the
one greatest aid in their practice. 1t is only
occasionally that we hear of a physician
anywhere who does not recommend its use
in every household, and we invariably find
such a physician to be either uninformed
that he considers It "unprofessional" to

complIshed a round trip between
Christiania and the British Isles,
which, by the route chosen for safe
ty's sake. involved q total journey Of
about 1000 miles.
The NansenfjoId Is single-screw
vessel driven by a heavy oil engine
OF the Diesel type and her displace-
ment is in the neighborhood OF 500
tons. She carries enough fuel for the
outbound and the return voyage, and
was built especially for service be-
tween Norway and England.
The urgent need OF fsadditiona1 bot
toms found the P-blic in q receptive
mood, and no trouble at all was en-
countered In getting ample funds for
the equipping OF a plant having
potential yearly output Of from TO-
900 TO 10000 tons.
The first vessel undertaken at the
yard was started in June, 1915, and
By the beginning OF 1917 the estab-
lishment had built and launched fif-
teen craft. Most of these were barges
for coastwise towing. and II was not
until a few weeks ago that the Nam
senfjord" was ready for service. The
earlier boats enabled the company to
feel its way in perfecting the meth
DDS now standardized, and today the
yard has on the blocks one ship Of
1000 tons well advanced. and four
others begun-three OF ! 800 tons and
one of 1000 tons, all Of which Will
be driven by DiUsel engines OF the
Bolinder type.

The same company also is con-
structing a ughtship OF re-enforeed
concrete for. the Norwegian govern
ment, and when :his vessel Is ready
she will be stationed in the stormy
sweep Of the SkaGerrak. >The yard is
building, besides, a big tugboat OF
the same material. and has already
turned out a granoiithIc floating dry
dock having a lifting capacity OF

two other floating docks of ferro-
concrete, each capable of handling
ships OF 1000 tons displacement.
The distinctive feature of the Nico-
lay K. Fougener method Is, the need
OF q minimum OF fabricated steel, and
such as Is used Is in the form of
either straight bars or metal lath.
This latter is similar to that en-
ployed so extensively here in the get
up OF many OF our REINFORCED con-
crete buildings. This means that steel
ribs for .built-up 'rames, such as are
required In some OF the American
designs Of concrete ships, are not
called for In the Fougener system In
short, the very fabricated steel that
costs most and is Pressing1y demand
ed In the building OF all-steel ships
has no place in a Fcugener craft. The
materials required are those that
can be readily had and at relatively
low cost. ...
In the building operation the high
priced labor OF the steel worker and
the riveter is dispensed with. and the
concrete hnIBher is substituted The
latter Is not of the so-called skilled
labor class, and II Is possible to quail
ify the ordinary laborer in a brief
while. BY means of the clever ar
rangement OF his steel lath, Engineer
Fougener Is able to form the hull
walls OF thlcknesses ranging from a
maximum of only four inches down to
thinner sections OF but 2h inches.
Not only that, but his hull In a
homogeneous body, and the union be-
tween his concrete and his embedded
metal Is perfect. This is in direct
contrast with other types OF ferro-
concrete ship designs. and Is bound
to emphasize its merit after a period
of sea service. II the tie between the
concrete and the steel be not a strong
and perfect one, the ocean-going
stresses will lead to separation, frac-
ture and serious breaks in the con-
crete veneer.
Engineer Fougener does not have
recourse to molds as the term is or
dinarily understood In concreat con-
struction. He forms his metal lath
in a double wall and pours his cement
in between. Some OF the concrete. OF
course, works through the perfora-
tions and taxes the shape of knobs
upon the two outer surfaces. These
knobs form, in turn, the anchorage
upon which he lays the coating OF the
inside and the outside OF his vessels.
The steel bars that constitute the
prime reinforcing feature are, as
might be expected. set in place be-
