E|GHT-HOURLAW
WAIVED TO SPEED
ARLINGTON BLDG.

To speed construction on the new
Arlington building, which has been
bought by the Government, President
Wilson has issued a proclamation sus-
pending the provisions OF the eight
hour law for work on this structure.
Every effort is to be made to have II
completed and ready for occupancy
eafly in the fall. Time and a half
will be paid for all work in excess
OF eight hours.
Divisions and offices of the War
Risk Insurance Bureau and the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau. which are now
scattered in eighteen office and resi-
dence structures all over downtown
Washington, Will be concentrated in
the new building. II is possible that
provision will be made in the new
structure for the offices OF the War
Finance Corporation, the Railroad
Administration, and the Liberty loan
divisions OF the Treasury.
Work on the building is to be com
pleted by the Arlington Building
Company, but IT will be under super
vision of the office of the Supervising
Architect of the Treasury. The archi-
tectural design will be considerably
changed. The structure as planned
by the building company was for a
plain office building. The front will
be altered to be more in keeping with
the general design OF other Govern
ment structures. ~.

Our. Exclusive Process Gives
TroCo It's Real Butter Flavor
Solves the Butter
Problem

Troco is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. 1t tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestible as butter, with the
same high nutritive value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream
cry butter. These critical users
say that rarely is butter so
sweet and delicate in flavor.
But don't just ask for nut
butter" or nut margarine" and
expect to enjoy this de luxe
flavor.
Ask for Troco and get the real
butter flavor. -.-.

Compare Troco zCith the
Best Creamery Butter

The test of Troco is on the
table, IN comparison with the
best creamery butter. This is
where it wins butter lovers.
For cooking it has no equal,
either in results or from the
standpoint OF economy. Troco
goes farther than butter.
Old laws, made before Troco
was invented, compel US to label
it as an oleomargarine. This IS
extremely misleading.
Troco is a quality product
used in homes where only the
best is tolerated. Here flavor,
quality and the assurance of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity of Troco.

SOUTHERN BANKERS fN1nUSED OVER IN

Among the countless thousands of prominent people all over America who have taken Tanlac and praised it for the benefits they derived from it, none are more enthusiastic than the two well-known southern bankers whose statements follow:

System Important habtt

One of the most important habits to eorm is that of system. It is 6 habit natural to some women, but to most 1t Is an acquired one. It is generally cultivated virtue, achieved through dogged persistence and in spite of many a falling from grace. Some of the most systematic persons can recall days when an utter lack of system dominated their lives. The discomfort they suffered then keeps them on guard lest they slip back into their old way of doing. It is best to begin to be systematic when one is young. but there is no bigger mistake than to consider unsystematic ways irremedi. able after youth has passed. Anyone can cure the fault of wast of system and save oneself needless inconven. fences and increase ones usefulness to other people.-Excha n9a.

TWO Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county. Indiana, was named In honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- cial patriotism and bravery. He was oergeant in ( South Carolina regiment and in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot of and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump- ing from enc of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them to a staff and held them In position under hot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this a commission was offered him but he declined it through distrust of his qualifications. On an. other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty Is named Newton in honor of Jas- per'e companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and central square in Savannah help to perpetuate Jas- per's name.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shriyel
 Up COrns So They Lift Out.

Ouch ! ? ;! :? ]! ? This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to tender, aching corn stops soreness at once, and soon the corn dries up and lifts right out without pain.
 He says freezone is sticky sub. stance which dries immediately y and never inflamees or even irritats the surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter of an ounce, which will cost very little at any drug store, is said to be suffi- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.

One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitate to believe it at first hearing, we feel se- cure in accepting it's truth now. The following experience of Pine Bluff man is confirmed after two years.
 c. M. Shephard, prop. general re- pair shop, 901 E. Second Ave, says: "My kidneys didn't act as they should and I had a lame and aching back. The kidney secretions were irregular in passage and unnatural. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of these an noyances and benefited me gnerally."
 LASTING RESULT.
 Over two years later, Mr. Shepard said: "I haven't felt in need of a kidney medicine since l used Doan's Kidney Pills. I am sure l have re- ceived a permanent cure"

are waging a silent" war against the
secret agents of the German govern
ment operating in the three most i'm
portant allied capitals.
In a special order issued to Wash
ington police last night Major Ray

lice, ordered his men to observe every

official Order.
Although 1t is not believed that
there are many Germans here Drawing
the strong law of the Presidents
proclamation, Major Pullman believes
that enemy agents or friends of enemy
agents may exist here. The order
follows:
do not trust any one whom you
do not know.
do not forget that enemy agents or
friends of enemy agents will attempt
to draw from you in one way or
another information for direct or in
direct use by the German government.
do not forget that enemy spies or
agents seldom advertise themselves.
The most polite stranger or a casual
acquaintance who may OFFER you a
cigar or have you lunch with him may
be the one who is engaged in enemy
activity of one kind or a1"thsr.
Do Not Argue.
"Do not let any enc either friend or
stranger draw you into arguments or
entrap you into giving information
bearing in any maner on the activity
of the military forces of the United
States.
do not discuss with any enc about
what you have done or what you are
going to do, not even with your best
friends or members of your family. I'M
portant information sometimes leaks
out through so-called confidential
conversations with your friends or &C
quaintances who talk 'confiientally' to
others and finally the information
may get to an enemy OF the Govern
ment.
do not forget that the Police De-
partment and Government inveetigat-
ing services desire to secure all pos
sible information on the activity of
enemy agents and spies operating in
this country and to bring them to
punishment.
Report Suspects.
do not forget to report TO your
superior officers at once any person
who tries to get information from
you or from anyone else in your
hearing.
do not fail to observe all sus-
picious persons Report any suspect
ed activity OF the enemy.
"Do not forget that your want OF
care may help the enemy, and lead to
the loss of American lives.
DO not forget that it is better to
talk too little than too much"

announced that by agreement with
Senator Chamberlain he will intro
duce a bill tomorrow calling for the
new member in the Presidents Cabi-

Like the Oregon Senator. he is en-
unquestfoned friend of the Admins

son now faces the necessity OF eN-
pressing his frank opinion of the con-
duct of the war up to date.
Borland occupies in the House a
position OF only slightly less impor-
lance than Chairman Chamberlain
in the Senate. He is chairman of the
