Prominent Physician
Discusses CaEor11eI

DR.. William Brady in an article about
calomel in the Atlanta Constitution re-
gently said:
"Calomei is a cathartic and a very
crude and superhuous one. 1t pro-
duces no special effect upon the liver
Or upon the secretion of bile 1t has
no more influence over biliousness
than any other active physic. 1t is
Sust the ancient standby, cheaper
than most other physics and retained
in use because old dogs seldom learn
new tricks"
AS a substitute for a poison like
ealomel modern phvsicians prescribe
purely vegetable cathartics. Mar

 JUGCLING BUTTONS
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

DIES MONIES, Iowa. June 2S.- Twenty six concerns alleged to virtu- ally control prices and output of the pearl button industry in this country, consented to decree in federal court here today permanently enjoining any of them or their officers from attempt ing to fix prices or control the output of the raw material for buttons.
 George Birrill, incorporated, and the Button Export and Trading corpora ton, both of New York City and Mus catine, Iowa, and twenty concerns listed as subsidiary were named in the decree.
 It was alleged by the government that the concerns named were a com- bine in restraint of trade, and that they were able to fix prices and regulate the output as they owner or controlled almost the entire output of cutting machines for shell buttons.
 The decree resulted from a civil suit brought by the government after the defendants had consented to the disso- lution.

AUTO SHORTAGE
 FACESCOUNTRY
 SAYSR. ]. ROPER

R. D. Roper of the Roper Motor com pany, state distributor for the Chal- ners and Maxwell companies brought back from the east all the latest news concerning the automobile business when he reached Phoenix this morning after a two weeks trip through the au- tomobile centers of the United States. Tt was an interesting trip in many ways" states Mir. Roper. Soldiers ev- anywhere. war chests of the Red Cross on all important street corners, girls driving taXicabs, and girls taking the place of boys as bell hops in the hotels. Telegraph messenger boys, office boys and all similar jobs are now largely filled by girls. In the automobile fac tories hundreds of girls are employed. In the clerical department and eveIpin the factory proper, many girls are found. The electrical testing depart nents are largely operated by girls.
 Labor Shortage Serious
 In spite of the addition of girls, the labor shortage is without doubt the most serious thing the automobile companies have to contend with. No factory is up to it's full complement of labor and this situation will grow worse instead of better.
 The fuel situation is also serious The companies expect some definite action upon the part of the govern ment in the near future limiting the roal consumption. This will undoubt- edly result in closing down completely the plants for two or more days a week.
 The government closely allots the steel to the different plants and the steel shortage is ever present.
 In spite of all this, it must not be un- terstood that the government is ad- verse to continuing the production of automobiles for just the reverse is true. The government encourages the con- tinuance of the automobile business to the fullest extent possible under exist ing conditions and insist only that government war needs be taken care of first.
 Autos to be Scarce
 As a result of these conditions, it is utterly impossible to escape ain acute automobile shortage. It is inevitable and will be felt very soon. In fact it is in full sway now in the east.
 It was my purpose, states MT. Roper 10 fully investigate the situation with the idea of deciding whether it would be wise to order a large stock of cars flor future delivery. I decided it was but when l came to place my orders. found the Chalmers and Maxwell plants with more business than they could handle and could get no definite assurance of receiving my regular shipments. This situation was prey. alent among all the larger concerns and within short period of timo new automobiles will be very scarce article, 1n Arizona"
