MAY FLAG DAY.
! Palestine Workers Plan Canvass of
City Tomorrow.

The local branch of the Paole Zion
will conduct a. house to house canvass
for the Palestine Labor Fund on Sun
day.
Committees will visit every Jewish
home in the city to sell flags.
The Palestine Workers fund has
done much to help the Jewish workers
in Palestine. 1t has done much to
conquer the obstacles peculiar to the
development of a new country. tt
has done much to help the Jewish
workers in their struggle for economic
betterment; it has brought within the
reach of the poor Jewish toiler the
benefits of a high culture. But the
most intensive and creative work that
has been done in Palestine during the
past thirty years is now ruined by
the mischievous Turks. Still greater
efforts and more money is now needed
to enlighten the ardent Palestinian
toilers in their struggle for the up
building of Jewish homeland in
Palestine.
It is therefore expected that this
year the Jews of New Britain will
contribute to this fund more than
ever before.

u. S. AND NORWAY IN
NEW TRADE COMPACT
America to Permit Export of Needed
Commodities in Return For Ma
teriaI Required Here.

Washington, May A commercial
agreement with Norway under which
that country receives large quantities
of materials from the United States
was consummated late yesterday by
Vance Mccormick, chairman of the
War Trade Board, and Dr. F'ridtjof
Nansen, special Representative of the
Norwegian Government No ship
ping tonnage is involved. but the
moral effect of the new pact on the
other neutral nations and in strength
ening the position of America in
the war is expected to be far reach
ing and to aid materially in check
ing inroads of Teutonic intrigue and
propaganda elsewhere. g..
DIR. Nansen called at the White
House soon after the completion of
the agreement and expressed to Pres
ident Wilson his pleasure over the
success of his mission. The United
States as it's part of the agreement
promises to furnish Norway with
quantities of foodstuffs, fodder, fer
tilizer, textiles, metals and minerals
and with rubber and miscellaneous
commo ODDITIES. The Norwegian Gov
port to the United States and the al
lied Powers in the war and will turn
over to them such commodities as are
not needed for home consumption,
especially minerals, ores, chemicals
and wood products.
The commodities cover nitrates
iron ore and metals needed in har-
dening steel and timbers needed for
mine properties.
A special provision is inserted in
the agreement that none of the COM
modities which Norway receives from
the United States shall be permitted
directly or indirectly to reach any Of
the Central Powers or be used to re-
place comm odities shipped to those
countries.
A further proviso is that nothing
manufactured, grown or produced by
machinery, implements, fuel lubri-
cants or other auxiliaries are to be
exported to the Central Powers.
The agreement, which in its terms
is considered most liberal to Norway,
was embodied in a draft agreement
some time ago, but not finally ap-
proved and signed until today.
The liberality of the United States
In the agreement was due in large
measure to the action Of Norway in
refusing to withdraw it's merchant
Vessels from the seas despite the Ger
man submarine menace. The Nor
wegians have maintained their right
to safety at sea, although about l.
500, 900 tons of shipping and more
than 1000 lives have been lost
through the depredations of U-boata'
The principal items which Norway
Will receive include bread grams,
100000 tons; cocoa, 1,400 tons; col
fee, 14,5oo tons; sugar, $4,000 tons,
and pork and beef, 700 tons.

in the brewery of A. Hupfel, and was
soon promoted to the position of
foreman in that establishment, then
one of the principal breweries in this
country. In 1866 young Ehret estab

called the Hell Gate Brewery. The
He'll Gate establishment is now one
of the largest properties of it's kind

Representative Dent, Chairman of
the Military committee, who has op-
posed many of the war policies, an
nounced today that he would oppose
the proposition to give the president
unlimited power. He stands almost
alone in his position in the committee.
Other members said that if the presi-
dent should attempt to raise an army
larger than congress favored all that
was necessary to prevent it was a re-
fusal to appropriate the necessary
money.
Senator Sherman of Illinois voiced
opposition to the request for blanket
authority to draft men as they are
needed without further recourse to
congress. Declaring that too many
broad powers have been conferred on
the executive departments, Senator
Sherman said:
1.-The extreme limit has been
reached. In this mornings press we
read that Mr.. Baker has now asked
for blanket power to draft men. We
should not delegate this power Con-
gress should fix the number of men
to be raised, and specifically limit it.
The Constitution empowers congress to
raise and maintain armies
Senator Smoot Of Utah supported
Senator Sherman, who then continued:
II do not think We are justified in
further broad grants of power to the
executive in view of the failure to
make a better accounting of some of
the enormous appropriations We have
made

When The Star Mirror announced
that it would receive contributions Of

no idea of starting a fruit store, but
one entering the office almost any

ing that an auction sale of fruit was
about to take place.
Since it became known that there
are many sick among the soldiers in
Moscow and that they are in need of
fruit, there has been a veritable

HEALTH BOARD
GIVES WARNING OF
INFLUENZA DANGER
Ask People to be Careful and Take
Proper Treatment Promptly. Many
Pneumonia Cases Follow Influenza.
What to Do.

To be prepared for the serious out
breaks of Influenza and Pneumonia
that are now sweeping over the entire
country and that have seized on this
community Public Health Boards ev-
erywhere are issuing cautions and in
structions to the public not to neglect
treatment at the first symptom of a
cold and to cooperate with the board
and physicians in stamping out the
spread Of the disease.
No disease develops so quickly or
spreads so rapidly. The first symp-
tom usually is a sharp rise in tenn
perature to 103 or 104 degrees, head
ache, pain in the back, throat feeling
dry or sore. Unless promptly check
ed by proper treatment, the best plan
is to go to bed and stay there for at
least week, keeping warm to avoid
pneumonia and let the minor ailment
run its course and also prevent the
spread of the disease to Others
Most Of us, in these busy days, can
not afford, if it can be avoided, to lose
a week or more Of work so it is all
the more necessary that at the very
first sign of grip or influenza a
counterracting treatment should be
taken.
Probably no better or more effect
i've treatment could be followed at
such time than to get from the near
est drug store a complete Hyomei
outfit consisting of a bottle of the
pure Oil of Hyomei and little vest
pocket, hard rubber inhaling device
into which few drops Of the oil are
poured
This is all you will need. Put the
Inhaler in your mouth and breathe it's
air deep into the passages of your
nose, throat and lungs. Every particle
of air that enters your breathing or
gans will thus be charged with an
antiseptic rm-killing balsam that
will absolutely destroy the germs of
influenza that have found Judgment
there.
You can't do this too often. The
Inhaler is small and can be
carried in handbag or
in your vestpocket. Every half hour
or so throughout the day take it out
and draw few breaths of its pure
healing air into your nose and throat |
Relief comes almost instantly. The |
Grip or Influenza symptoms subside. |
Congestion ceases, fever disappears,
throat conditions become normal and
you soon are feeling fine. The outfit
IS not at all expensive for the rubber
inhaler will lasts lifetime while the
Oil of Hyomei can be obtained at
little cost from any reliable druggist.
Lots of people already have it and
Use it without delay. If you haven't
one get it today.
A few cents spent now may easily
prevent serious illness and save YOU
many dollars and help stamp out the
spread of the disease.

THE PRESIDENTS PARTIZAN
SHIP.

President Wilson announced that 'un-
til the close of the war politics is ad-
journed" This sounded very nice and
won much praise But today President
Wilson sends out an appeal to the
American voters to return a democratic
majority in both houses of congress.
Failure to do this will be regarded on
the other side of the water as a repudia-
ton of my leadership.
Let us analyze this appeal of President
Wilson. Does he want man of the
stripe of C. c. Dill of Spokane, the
only democrat in Washington's congress
sional delegation returned to congress?
Will that be vote of confidence in Will
sons leadership? Dill and La Toilette
(the latter republican, are the only
two members of the Washington con-
gressional delegation who failed to sup
port Wilson and both voted, preached,
talked and wrote against Wilson's policy
of entering and conducting the war. The
republicans had decency enough to de-
feat La Toilette Overwhelmingly at the
primary election, but the democrats re-
gress would certainly be to repudiate
Wilson's leadership
Does the president regard John F.
Nugent, supported by the nonpartizan
league and the l. w. W., both the leaders
of organizations being VIGOROUSLY un-
patriotic and opposed to Wilson, as a
better Endorsement of his leadership
than Frank R. Gooding, one of the most
loyal men the west has produced. In
Idaho the democrats are rising above
party and supporting the war measures
repudiate Nugent who is backed by dis
loyal organizations and are supporting
republican whose supporters are known
to be loyal. Many republicans will re-
fuse to support Borah because he is in
dorsed by the nonpartizans and will vote
for Moore, whose democracy is we'll
known and who is not supported by dis
loyal elements.
President Wilson should be reminded
that the recent statement of Fred I. !
Dubois, who is credited with being the
presidents personal agent in trying to
dictate politics in Idaho, insulted the
voters of this loyal state when he said |
in an interview in Washington: ''The
democrats and nonpartizan league will
sweep the state of Idaho in the Novem
Der election"
The people of Idaho have adjourned
politics." President Wilson and Fred
T. Dubois have not.
