FOR DELAY IN
SHlPBUILDlNC

Washington, Dec. 26. - Labor
troubles were blamed for much of the
delay in the governments shipbuild-
ing program by Raymond B. Stew
ems vice chairman of the shipping
board, testifying today in the senate
commerce committees investigation.
Since the United States went to
war Mr.. Stevens said, shipyards have
lost a total of 536,992 working days
by strikes and other disputes. This,
he figured, represents the work Of
10000 men for a month. Happily,
said Mr.. Stevens, the situation is i'm
proving by reason Of measures TAX
en- by the board to adjust differences.
Opposed to Force
Senators took lively interest, in
the story of the labor situation and
the inquiry turned to the whole SUBJ
ject of labor and it's position during
the war. The questions as to the
wisdom of CONSUMPTION of labor for
shipyards and other government
work drew from Mr.. Stevens en-
phatic opposition to any attempt to
force civilians to work under pre-
scribed conditions and government
fixed wages.
Telling of the boards work in es-
tablishing, with the aid Of the labor
department, employment agencies on
the Pacific coast, Mr.. Stevens said
that with their institution also in the
east the board hoped to obtain from
other industries as many men as it
needs. He added that an appropria-
ton would be needed to provide
housing facilities at isolated plants.
"1he number Of men should actual
ly be more than doubled" said he,
IF we are to accomplish our full
aims. Roughly there now are about
100000 men engaged in shipbuilding.
We could use from 100000 to $780,
900 more. We are obtaining new men
gradually now and hope to obtain
them much faster later on. Recently
106 yards reported they could use
Immediately 10000 more men," Mr..
Stevens described a bonus system in
stituted in Pacific coast yards and
said if it proved successful an extern
sion to the east was planned.

ALL AVAILABLE
LAND BEING USED

Fargo, Dec. 81, - Every available
square foot of land in England is be-
ing utilized for the growing of food
stuffs; fine, old hedges are being re-
moved if they interfere with the cul-
tivation of the soil; and American
tractors are furnishing much Of the
motive power for the work, according
to George Churchill, Casselton, who
was Fargo visitor Wednesday eve
ming.
Mr.. Churchill returned this month
from England where he spent six
months selling tractors for a large
American concern, and during his
stay garnered considerable Informal
ton regarding English agricultural
methods, now being carried out on a
large modern scale.
Every available square foot of
tillable soil in England is being con-
scripted TO the growing of food
stuffs, and even fine old hedges, the
pride of some old Englishman's eye,
are, being sacrificed if they interfere
with the cultivation Of the SOIL" said
Mr.. Churchill.
England is using American-made
tractors for the work, which make
possible maximum production.
Government Buys Machines
"These tractors are being purchas-
ed by the English government, and
are being rented to farmers under
the supervision Of a farm production
bureau, which was organized after
the first year of the war.
'.The bureau has been responsible
for the introduction of modern farm
ing methods by tearing down prec-
edent in the manner of tilling the
SOIL
Cannot Feed Herself
England, however, even with a
maximum production, is not able to
raise enough food to feed herself
Mr.. Churchill said.
1.-The fertility of England's soil is
not great, and her population is too
large in proportion to her area.
GAS result, even with both max
inlum acreage and production, Eng
land will not be able to feed herself
without outside food, though she is
nearer to- doing it at the present time
than at any time within the last
half century,"

Catarrh Of Throat

Miss Amalie Ruzicka, 144S South
10th St, Omaha, Nebraska, writes:
Il have suffered with catarrh of the
throat. / caught cold and it settled
in my throat, and coughed badly
and was very weak. I could not sleep
and had no appetite. I had two doc
tors, and had taken so many different
medicines and found no help. thought
I will have to give up; but at last
my mother read about Peruna, so
thought of trying that great medicine
Peruna. I got a bottle of it and in
about four days ! almost stopped
coughing, and after a while surely
found relief, and from that time we
are not without Peruna In our home.

SHARP FIGHTING
 IN MACEDONIA
Bulgarians Resisted Until Armistict Was Declared With Great
 VigOr.

Paris, Oct 2.-Sharp fighting con- tinued on the Macedonian front up to noon Monday when the Bulgarian armistice became effective.
 In the region north of Monastir, Italian forces took Mont Baba, posi- tion of much military importance. The Bulgarians kept up vicious machine gun fight to the last and were SUD- ported by infantry and numerous batteries of field artillery. The ene- my, however, was driven back and the Italians occupied Dolenci.
 When operations were suspended the Serbians held the high ground be- tween Uskub and the Bulgarian bor- der. On the extreme left allied troops had completed the occupation of Stru- ga near Lake Ochrida and Kichevo, further north.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authori- l ty, because the uric acid in meat eXcites the kidneys, they become ov-

 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if
 bladder bothers you, get about four
 ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take tablespoonful ill a glass of water before breakfast for l a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famouse salts is | made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys, and stimulate them to normal activity; also 10 neu- tralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- l der disorders.
