FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
FOLLOW DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment of a cold, cought, in
fiuenza or grippe should invariably be
"a brisk calomel purgative, prefera-
bly, the nausealess calomel, called
"Calotabs" This alone is often suf-
ficient to break up a severe cold over
night, or cut short an attack of grippe
and possibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasures or work, Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages; price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Price re-
funded if you are not delighted adv.

a wholesome, appetizlng substitute for high-prIced olive oils when refined, and 1t Is said to be much cleaner than olive oil. The scarcity of olive oil, due to the war, has led to a marked increase in the use of corn oil in this country for salad and cooking purposes. Hith- erto most of the corn oil has gone into soap manufacture. Only 1o per cent of 1t was refined before the war, and rather strangely, most of this went to Europe for salad oil, while Euro peans sold us olive oil at several times the price.

COUNCIL HOLDS
 SHORT SESSION

The Town Council held g short meeting last night, ct which all councilmen with the exception of Reynoldson and Wright were pres ent.
 The principle matter to come be- fore the city dads for consideration was the river improvement as sug- gested by the committee on public property and public works, and the council voted an appropriation equal to half the amount estimated at $500 that may be required for safe guarding the city from the raYages of high water in the river.
 DT. Gable was appointed h,ealth officer for the city, subject to his acceptanceI -.s
 The health department brought up the question of "clean up day. and this was left in the hands of the health committee to work out.
 The monthly school budget, amounting to $500 wes allowed.

Valuable oil From Corn.

The latest by-product from corn de- veloped by a chemist Is corn oil. Every bushel of corn used for starch, corn sugar and similar products yields one and one-half pounds of corn oil, which Is extracted from the germ of the ker- nel, the little triangular part of the corn which one sees when eating sweet corn. This germ is so full of oil that its floating properties are used to separate 1t from the starch which makes up the kernel itself, and the corn oil is pressed from It. Corn oil is

BULK-HEAD MAY SAVE PROPERTY

The public works and public pro perty committee of the skagway city council is givng grave thought to river protection this year, oW- ing tn the vast amount of snow which when melted will flow into the skagway river. That no dam age may result from rapid melting and consequently a quick raise of the river, an investigation was made yesterday by Mayor Ash Hey and Councilman Buting, chair man of the committee and Supt. John Hayes, superintendent oa the Alaska Road commissions work in this division, who is in the city.
 These gentlemen went over the ground carefully, and at last nights meeting of the city council reported that it would be feasable to put in bulk-head s0 as to di- vert the river channel from the east side of the river bed to the west side SD as to throw the river in that part of the channel and force a clean sween under the Twenty-second avenue bridge.
 At an expenditure of approxi- mately $500, according to an estimate prepared by Mir. Hayes sufficient work could be done to safe guard the city and also pro tect the bridge from being car" ried out, should there be extreme high water this spring.
 MT. Hayes, speaking on behalf of the Alaska Road commission, said that he believed that half of the required amount of money ueces sary to do the work could be secur- ed from the funds of the road com mission, provided that the city would appropriate like amount.
 MT. Hayes was assured by the council that this amount would be forthcoming.
 MT. Hayes then stated that he would at once communicate with Capt. Waugh in order to secure the authority to go ahead with the work, and as soon, asI he had received his answer, he would be- gin the work, which would be done ander the supervision of the road commission.

New York Banks
Advise Correspondents
Of New Rule

The New York banks have begun to
send to their correspondents circulars
advising them Of the new regulation
adopted by the Clearing House Asso-
citation, whereby the demand deposits
of interior banks may receive after
April l interest at the rate of 2A per
cent, based upon the prevailing 4 Z per
cent 90 day discount rate for CONNER
cial paper at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Since the announcement of the new
Clearing House regulations government
interest rates on deposits New York
banks and trust companies have re-
ceived flood of letters from their
out -of-town correspondents giving their
opinions on the change over the past
policy allowing competitive bidding.
One important institution reported yes
terday that the views favoring the
Clearing House action were about
evenly divided with those in opposition.
In the latter class, it was stated that
the, amendment was "political frame
up' to save New York banks from pay
ing the high rates of interest which the
trend of the times necessitated

Sir: The farm labor situation in this
section briefly is this:
Farm labor receives approximately
62 per cent Of the wage received in the
large industrial plants of the West,
which consist principally of mines and
smelters. On account of the character
Of the work the employment is irregu-
lar, and is a series of peaks. In addi-
ton to this. the young men who mi
crate from place to place, doing farm
work, are mostly young fellows from
the East or Middle West, of a more
or less adventurous spirit. They were
the first to enlist-in fact, it looks as
though they enlisted almost in body.
Last summer. had it not been for the
l. W. ". troubles, which closed the
mines and smerters in this section, we
would have had very serious time in
putting up our crops. This year, with
these plants operating to capacity, we
are going to be confronted with a seri :.
GUS situation.
CHS lHlHS WHICH impressed US last
season was the fact that the saloons in
our town when we needed men The
worst were filled with loafers, most,y
Observation-Disclosures Norwegians and
Austrians-who did not want to work,
and would not go TO work, the point
being that their needs for enough
money to keep them happily drunk only
necessitated, as a result Of high wages,
their working a small portion OF the
time. / am firmly satisfied that there
should be some method of conscriptine
idleness and making it work during this
emergency. This would do much to re-
iieye the situation.

Western Banks
Regret Change in
Deposit Rates
Feel That New York Disre-
garded Interests of Rest
of the Country

CHICAGO, March 22.-Bankcrs here
and in other Western financial centres
generally express regret at the action
of the New York banks with regard to
the interest rates paid on out t-of-town
bank balances. They believe that it
must eventually reflect itself in the
general money market situation. Local
bankers point out that. while the slid
ing scale theory on the interest rate
matter is plausible. the scale adopted
by the New York banks will not bring
about an automatic reduction when
money rates break.
There has been no agitation any
where in this part of the country for
change in the present per cent rate
on deposits, and Western bankers are
disposed to stand pat at least for the
present. Some of the larger local in
stitutions believe that their intimate
customers and correspondents will pre-
vent any serious loss in any event, but
the ma ority fear that in time the ac-
ton taken il New YORK must be met
here. They appreciate the peculiar con
dtion existing in New York relative to
competition there, but feel that the
New York Clearing House Association
attempted to control the local situation
there without due regard for the inter
est of the country as a whole.
The Chicago Clearing House Associa-
tion has not acted in the matter yet, as
John j. Mitchell and some other lead
ing Chicago bankers are out Of town
and James B. Forgan is on tho sick list.
1t is believed that if the New York Fed
eral Reserve Bank should increase its
ninety day discount rate situation
throughout the country would again be
affected by the increase that would
then be paid on daily balances under
the New York Clearing House rule. It
is recalled as a matter Of contrast with
present developments that an inef-
fectual attempt was made by Western
and Eastern banks three years ago,
when money was down to per cent,
to reduce interest on balances to | Il

Sugar Output
Exceeds Expectations
But Demand Runs Ahead of
Supply and Exports Are
Considered Unlikely

Output of the sugar reiineries in the
United States SO far this year is con-
siderably ahead of expectations ac-
cordlng to figures issued yesterday by
frank Z. Lowry, sales manager of the
Federal Sugar Refining Company,
which showed that the refiners have
melted down almost as much sugar
since January / as they did in the cor
responding period of 1917.
SIT is not likely that the government
Will permit exports Of refined sugar
Tor some Ilttle time" said Mr.. Lowry,
land the probabilities are that raw
sugars will now be received more free
~. It is natural, therefore, to expect a
steady decrease in the existing scarcity.
but there is a big hole to be filled up
and there is also desire on the part
OF consumers to accumulate supplies
furthermore, we must not lose sjrht
OF the fact that the small fruits and
berries will soon be coming to market
and good deal of sugar will be needed
to preserve them"
Retinerics at the Atlantic ports. it
- oHoWH, Lron January l to March 49,
1918, produced 100000 tons of sugar
as against A72,000 tons in 1917. and
exported considerably less than last
year. New Orleans melted 93 900 tons
to March 8, compared with $4,000 tons
last year, and exported only as tons
to March !, as opposed to 2,494 tons
in 1917.
These figures show that the cane
sugar rehners have distributed in the
domestic don market approximately 49o,-
ooo tons of sugar since January /.
against 512, 900 tons in 1917, a differ
cnce of only $4,000 tons. That ,his
supply has not been more visible to
the Eastern housewife is due, accord
ing 70 Mr.. Lowry, to the extreme
shortage of the early winter, which
cleaned up all hidden stocks and cre-
ated a vacuum"
Figures for the domestic beet sugar
crops indicate that about 70 per cent
OF the 1917-I8 yield of 15,276,216 bags
had been distributed up to March /.
1t is stated that final returns arc con-
siderably below earlier estimates. The
19l6-17 crop totallcd 16.403 900 bags.
Cable advices from Cuba arc to tho
effect that more grinding plants arc
operating than ever before in the his
tory Of the island. while raw sugar
supplies are continuing to accumunte
at points of export.
