war industries board began the work
of standardizing government prices
for all materials and supplies cover
ing every variety of product bought
for war purposes. Less attention was
necessarily paid for the time being to
problems Of the same character af-
fecting the civil population.
After the gigantic task of systema-
tizing the supply and price of all
products needed for war purposes, the
food and fuel administrations and the
federal trade commission set about
establishing fixed prices for domestic
products distributed through retail
agencies to the civil population of the
country. These agencies are still en-
gagged in attempting to regulate the
same and reduce to systematic and
scientific basis the production and al
location Of the neeessaries of life upon
which the civil population must exist.

The body is a highly organized
machine Of complicated parts in
which the stomach, liver and the

Damage to any one Of these organs

PEACE WILL NOT

BUILDING PLANS


Philadelphia, Dec Announce
ment that the coming OF peace will
not slow down materiallv the ship
building activities of the wards firing
ing the Delaware river is made by
Charles PieZ, vice president and gem
eral manager of the emergency fleet
corporation. The work will be lessen
ed only through elimination of all
overtime work. Further assurance
that no move is contemplated to cur
tail operations is given daily in ad-
vertisements in the papers here for
skilled and unskilled workmen for
employment at the yards.
Ships and more ships, according TO
Mr.. Piez, will be needed to transport
food supplies to feed Europe, and for
the necessary materials that will be
required for the reconstruction period
in the war-stricken area.
1--WE must continue to build ships
for an indefinite period to carry on
that work. said Mr.. Piez, ''as there
are not nearly enough at present If
any changes are made in our building
program, they will affect only the
form and degree of the work out
lined"
There is to he no wholesale can

ton of departments, insisted Mr.. Piez,
who declared that whatever changes
are necessary win be of a gradual
sort, and workers whose departments
may be abandoned will be placed in
other branches of the industry.
At the worlds largest shipyard--
Hog island--work will go steadily
ahead, and men skilled in building
vessels will have no difficulty in get
ting employment there. Men without
experience may find employment also
for the school for instruction where
green hands" have been converted
into shipbuilders will be continued.

erative highway construction under
the federal aid road act must be re-
sumed as quickly as possible in full
measure. the secretary of agriculture,
D, E, Houston, stated at confer
ence Of editors OF agricultural jour
nais held recently in Washington.
From uneSpended balances Of fed
eral appropriations for the last few
years, from state funds beyond what
was necessary to meet the federal al
lotments, and from amounts available
during the current fiscal year, APP
proximately $75,000,000 will be avail
able for expenditure during the cal
endar year. Next year, if all the bal
ances should be expended during this
year, and we should have to rely
solely on the funds accruing next
year, there viii be about $40, 900, 000
from federal appropriations, and pro-
baby more than this amount from
state sources, according TO the seere-
tary's statement. The states. in adj
dition, win eXpend sums in excess of
what they have assigned. or will as
1T seems to me-" said the secre-
tary, that we should take further
step--take this step not only because
of the Importance of good roads, but
also because of the desirability of
furnishing worthy projects on which
unemployed labor during the period
of readiustment may be engaged.
There will be many things suggested
xsyht Nd OF dc
will be sought. Some of these will be
unworthy Clearly such public works
ARE worthy, and ii would be in the
public interest to make available larg-
er appropriations from the federal
treasury to be used separately or in
conjunction with state and local sup
port.
There need be no delay in the ex-
ecution Of such a program. The nation
has already provided the machinery
in the department of agriculture and
in the state highway commissions.
The federal aid road act was fruitful
Of good legislation. and each state in
the union now has a central highway
authority with power and funds to
meet the terms of the federal act. The
two agencies. in conjunction, have
been engaged in devising well-consid-
cred road systems and in making
surveys, plans and specifications. The
task viii be one of selection, and
those roads should be designated for
Improvement which are of the great
est economic importance, with due re-
gard to such military and other needs
rs are proper for consideration.
There is no necessity for any depart
IRE from this scheme. The sugges-
lions made have been canYassed with
the president, the secretary of war.
and the postmaster general, and they
are In accord with the view that ad-
ditional funds should be made avail
able to this department and that they

CALVES WITH WHITE sC0URs
Result Of inflammation Of Llnina Of
Fourth Part or True Digestive
Stomach.

White scours in calves is form Of
dlarrhea. It is the result Of an in
flammation Of the lining Of the fourth
part or true digestive stomach, and
is generally caused by changing the
calf's milk or giving cold Or skim
milk when not used to it. The ma
nure is very thin and of a yellowish-
white color. The calf has pains,
breathes heavily and groans at times,
srits it's teeth and keeps looking
around at its sides. Try to discover
the cause of the trouble, and if from
a change of milk or giving it too cold,
apply this treatment:
Give the calf good, warm milk to
drink, following with two ounces of
raw linseed oil, two ounces of lime wa
ter, one dram of laudanum. Mix and
give as a drench. If this does not
give relief follow. with one dram of
laudanum and two ounces of lime
water. Mix and give three times q
day in little milk as drench. Keep
up this treatment and see that the
animal is kept dry and warm until it

GROW POTATOES FROM SEED
Experts Of University Of Washington
Use White Fruiting Berry Which
Has Almost DISAPPEARED.

In IN effort to restore the old-fash-
Toned potato seed, IN experiment is
being made in the garden of the Uni
versity Of Washington. The white
fruiting berry Of the potato, which was
found everywhere a generation ago
and has now almost disappeared, was
used to plant q patch, and the fruit
ing potato plants are being raised.
With them have been planted q mum:
Der of potato tubers In the usual way,
and the latter have grown much more
rapidly than the plants which have
developed from the seeds. The object
in seeking to produce potato seed
again is that crossing Of strains can
be secured In this way, leading to a
more wholesome condition of the plant,
When propagation is only by the roots
there is no chance for cross-fertiliza-
ton. and the same strain of potato
will In time give out.

under the direction Of Assistant Prof.

REMEDY FOR CHAPPED TEATS
Carefully Wash With Warm, Soft Wa.
ter Containing Disinfectant-
Dry and Apply Salve.

Chapped and sore teats of any kind
should be carefully washed with warm
soft water containing a little disinfec-
.tant. Dry them carefully and apply
little salve. The salve may be just
ordinary vaseline; it may be any of the
carbolic acid salves purchased in the
drug store, or it may be made up of
three parts Of lard and one part of tur-
pentine.
This salve protects the teat during
the time between milkings. 1t excludes
air and keeps the teats from drying
and cracking and the surface of the
teats become smooth and soft. In
stead of being uneasy during milking,
the COW will stand quietly and show no
discomfort Of any kind from this
