Congress made provision prior to March

up and rendered harmless. When
your liver goes wrong it upsets the
whole bodily mechanism and you feel
sluggish, your appetite is poor and you
do not enjoy either work or play. Just
few doses Of jays Pepsotone is what
will put the pep" into your liver and
you feel fine. No dieting, no incon.
venience, no gripping or nausea. A pure.
~ vegetable preparation combined
with pepsin that quickly relieves all
symptoms arising from dlsordered
liver and puts you on your feet and

Alexander the Great included.
The pitching starr is composed Of
two brilliant hurlers and two reliables.

Galesburg in 1910, is too well known

greatest pitchers Of baseball history.

Harry Gaspar and George Mogridge
are two consistent pitchers who would
win the majority OF games with a good

The straight-away is under the

course is ideal for the 40 runners. X

Auto Plants Told to Go on 100 Per
Cent War Work.

Washington, Aug. O.--Manufacturers
of passenger automobiles were advised
by the war industries board to convert
their plants to 100 per cent war work
as rapidly as possible ana to place
them on that basis not later than Jan
l. 1919, in a letter Addressed to the Ma
tiona AUTOMOBILES Chamber of Com
merce.
In no other way, the letter stated
could they be assured OF the continu-
ance of their industry or the preserva-
ton Of their organizations.
The letter was In response to pro-
posal made by Hugh Chalmers on the
part OF the manufacturers. voluntarily
to curtail the passenger car industry
so per cent. The wan industries board
declared the present situation gave little
assurance Of material for the manufac-
ture of passenger automobiles after
providing for war requirements. Pend
ing receipt by the board Of sworn in
ventories OF materials on and re-
qnested July 16. no materials will be
permitted passenger car manufacturers
the letter states
1--WE ave given careful consideration
to your communication OF Aug. en-
bodying the resolutions passed at your
meeting at Detroit Aug. g." the letter
said. I'VE note that the manufacturers
have voluntarily agreed among them
selves to curtail tAe production OF pas
senger cars so per cent. Further cur
taflment Is inevitable.
"Fhirness to your industry impels us
frankly to state that the situation to-
day Indicates clearly there will be little
IL any. Of the principal materials re-
CURED In tho construction Of passen-
ger cars available for nonwar indus
tries after the war requirements shall
have been provided for; and the war
industries board can not at this time
make any promise whatever regarding
the supply OF your, industry Of steel
rubber. or other materials for any de-
finite period in advance.
I'VE strongly believe 1t is to the best
interests OF your members and all
other manufacturers of passenger
automobiles to undertake to get ION a
100 per cent war work basis as rapidly
as possible and not later than Jan. 1
1919, for IN no other way can you be
sure OF the continuance OF your indus
try and the preservation Of your or
ganization."
It was stated by one member OF the
board that ALLEGATION OF steel to the In
dustry has ben stopped and those far
sighted enough TO obtain stocks of steel
prior to the restrictions on delivery
will In all probability have their supply
taken by the government to be turned
