Growth In Manufacture.
The strides Missouri has made In
four years, 1918 over 1914, as a man
~ufacturing commonwealth is emphats
icaIly demonstrated by the automobile
Industry, for which the worth Of mao
ufacturing. assembling. reconstruct.
ing. refitting and repairing increased
from $40, 740,O6S for 1914 to s42.o5ss
264 for 1917, a gain Of nearly $50 per
cent, announces a bureau Of labor sta
tistics bulletin given out by Commits
sioner William H. Lewis.
While other industries Of Missouri
made phenomenal total value gains in
the same period. particularly packing
house products, boots and shoes, flour,
feed and meal. foundries and machine
shop products, electrical apparatus
and machinery. iron and steel works
and rolling mill productions, carshop
output. powder and explosives and am
munition, refining Of petroleum and
gasoline, smelling and refining ores
and minerals, trunks and valises and
leather goods, mems clothing and fur
nishings, drugs, chemicals and com
pounds, their enhancements were not
as marked as were. directly and indI-
rectly, due to the worldwide war. the
growth Of Missouri's automobile In
dustry was chiefly due to the increas-
ing reign OF prosperity In this state
and in al commonwealth to the south,
north and west.
During 1914 manufacturing, assem-
bling, reconstructing. refitting and re-
pairing cost $40. 74O.O6s for s12 Mis-
souri, factories, while in 1917 these
items cost s42, O5s, 265 in 800 establish
ments,
Another important fact worth con
sidering when the growth Of MiBscur'a
automobile industry In four years II
reviewed is that the army Of employees
increased from 1851 men and IS WON
en- In 1914, who were paid a total Of
$2,971,2S3 for their services, to 7,e4l
men and IS women for 1917, which

Chronic Constipation.

Perhaps you have never
thought of it, but this disorder
is due to a lack Of moisture in
the residual matter of the food.
If you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take
lots of outdoor exercise, you may
be able eventually to overcome
lit entirely. In the meantime use
the most mild and gentle Taxa
|tives. Strong and harsh cathar-
Etics take too much water out Of
the system and make a bad mat
ter worse. Chamberlain's Tab
let's are easy and pleasant t.
take, and most agreeable in eff.
feet. Give them a trial.

The Doctor Away From Home
When Most Needed.

People are often very much
disappointed to find that their
family physician is away from
home when they most need his
services. Diseases like pain in
the stomach and bowels, collie
and diarrhoea require prompt
treatment, and have in many In
stances proven fatal before med
icine could be procured or a ply
stefan summoned. The right way
is to keep at hand a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Collie and Diara
hoea Remedy. No physician car
prescribe a better medicine fol
these diseases. BY having it il
the house you escape much pail
and suffering and all risk. Bul
lit now; it may save life.

TO ANSWER AID. CURTIS
Price of Ice Is Advanced and Insur-
ance Will Be Paid-Wasc Increase
for Meter Readers.

Alderman Orson F. Curtis, who in
troduced q resolution at the last meet
ing of the common council asking for
a statement from the board Of water
com miSsiOners in relation to the sale
of wood by the commission, and also
regarding the municipal ice business
will have his answer at the council
meeting next week. At tho meeting
of the board Of water commissioners
last evening the report was prepared.
The report will be to the effect that,
owing to the increased cost of labor,
the price for municipal ice was ad-
vanced from 80 to 10 cents per hun
dred last summer. Because Of other
increased costs since, the price may
be further advanced next summer.
The Bailey Ice Co., which has the CON
tract for the municipal ice, has given
assurance that the insurance premium
on the building Will be paid without
further delay. During the past year
the company invested large sum in
improving it's equipment.
The commissioners will state that
the department disposed of a consid-
cradle quantity Of wood at s. per
cord. Prices noY prevailing are Sc,
SIS and 50 per cord, depending on the
grade. The department will set out
10000 trees on the watershed at
Shuttle Meadow during the next sum-
mer.
Bills to the amount of s945.31 were
ordered paid.
The commissioners voted an in
crease of 10 per cent. in wages for
| the meter-readers to be effective

MORE MEAT FOR ALLIES
Exports To Be Increased so Per Cent.
and Perhaps Doubled Because of
Surplus i'll America.

Washington, March 14.-Mea eN-
lorts to the Allies will be increased
so per cent. and perhaps doubled
shortly, under arrangements neGOtiat
e.! by the food administration with
the allied food representatives here.
The purpose is to build up the AL
led meat reserves from the great
surplus which has been accum ulated
in this country and which recently
brought a relaxation of restrictions on
meat consumption. The allies would
furnish all the ships for moving the
meat.
The increased exports are depend
ent on the shipping procurable, but
it is understood Great Britain expects
TO find the vessels. News from Lon
don of the requisitioning of Dutch
ships was considered encouraging.
Statements by Lord Rhondda, this
British food controller, that the meat
ration might be doubled in April was
taken as further proof that the British
government was ready to furnish these
ships.

MAY SEND TO CREAMERIES.

Hebron, March 14.-An effort to
solve the troubles of milk producers
in eastern Connecticut is being made
by asking farmers to join local
creamery associations. On April L,
according to announcement today
the price to be paid farmers for
milk will be lowered. In Colchester
and towns hereabouts about 10000
quarts of milk is shipped each day to
the Providence and Boston markets
If this milk is diverted to creameries
the marketing problem will be set
tied for the individual farmer, &C
cording to the argument of those IA
voring the plan. At present it costs
$1.O3 to transport ten 10-quart cans
of milk from here to Providence. This
cost and the unsatisfactory returns
for the milk is said to sum up a con-
dition which is compelling farmers to
dispose of their COWS and give up
milk raising.

Secretary Wilson Explains Program
of New Bureaus

Washington, March 14.-Plans by
which the seven newly organized
bureaus of the Department of Labor
are expected to handle labor problems
affecting the war program were out
lined by Secretary Wilson today.
Each bureau will cooperate directly
with the War and Navy departments
and the Shipping board, and all diff
fculties arising in these departments
will be referred to one of the seven
bureaus.
Charts on the progress of all con-
struction work will be kept by Army,
Navy, and Shipping board, and any
delay due to labor difficulties will be
shown in reports to the Labor depart
ment to be referred to the proper bu-
reau. Thus a question of shortage of
labor will go to the employment bu-
reau; a labor dispute to the adjust
ment bureau, and a matter Of furnish
ing homes for workers will be referred
to the housing bureau.
