ticient unless the case is particularly
severe.

with other laxatives, as calomel is alb
solutely necessary sooner or later
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
item with swallow OF that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the

In contrast to what DR.. Spaulding
said, the initial enrolment of stu
dents in industrial and commercial
courses showed not single man out

Forty.three different trades were

Generally speaking, they're not

This is on the basis Of a straw

Business Stimulated
By Return of Peace


washington, Dec. 5.--Reaction
from war time economy is apparent
IN reports to various government
agencies since the signing Of the
armistice. War savings committees
In all parts of the country have sub
mltted statements tending to show
that persons who abstained from buy.
ing unnecessary clothes during the
war have rushed to shops within the
past week or two and bought accord
ing to pre-war standards.
Retail businesses report stimula-
ton of business by peace news. In,
some cases, the response was imme-
date, business showing big jump
within day or two after Nov, II.
This reaction seems most marked
among the Weather classes,
Reports gathered by the Federal
Reserve Board also show activity
among wholselae houses to meet the
demand of retailers. The wholesale
business, however, is somewhat re-
stricted by the desire of retail mer-
chants to let their stocks run low,
while waiting for prices to come
down, Thousands of retailers quick.
| ly arranged special sales of their
stocks at lower prices, in view of the
uncertainties of the future course of
prices.
Building operations have taken a
sudden start after the long enforced
period of sluggishness during the
war, and building materials are now
beginning to flow away from former
war enterprises, toward peace time
building projects. Private building
seems to be holding back, however.
Municipalities and states have turned

shortage of materials, and within the
next month officials here look for a
multitude Of advertisements for bids
for these projects.
AT least eight billions of dollars
must be raised in the United States
next year from war bonds or war
savings. Officials argue that floating
OF these loans without corresponding
saving In money and materials mere
ly serve to initiate credit, and the
practical result of this imitation is a
general rise in prices.
The Treasury now is seeking to
develop means of continuing thrift

years, to educate the public to the
duty of paying off Indebtedness be-
fore relaxing war time economy. In
fact, students of economy In the
Treasury declare that unless the
American people learn lessons of
thrift which populations of England,

four years, the country will be in

 GREAT. DAMAGE

PARIS, May 15.-The German long distance shell which struck a Mater nifty hospital killing mothers by the side of their infants sent shuddel Of horror through Paris which. since the hecatomb of Good Friday thought it had become impervious to such an emotion. It also created confusion among the surviving moth. CTS, some of whom have been unable 50 identify their offspring among the babies that escaped the shell of the assassin

The babies were carried and deposited pellmell on beds in d room quickly prepared to receive the pa tients so violently ejectcd by the German gun

RECISTRANT IS
 REPORTED HERE

Triton Saref, the inducted regis. lrant who was advertised for Mon. day by the local board, yesterday made his appearance before that body and explained his absence. He lad been out of town hauling wood and did not know of the call having been made. He accounted for his presence In town by saying that the rain had compelled him to come in on other matters. and it was then he learned that he was wanted by the board.
 Saref is the owner of some live stock and considerable wood, which he is anxious to dispose of before his induction, and the board has promised him that they will do all they can to aid him.
 The registrant expressed willing. ness to respond to the call, and his only regret was that his property interests, accumulated after six years of hard work, stood in the way of his immediate entrance into service and would have to be sacrificed. He also has a brother at Nenana who will be inducted.

MANY MACHINES
 BEEN DESTROYED

LONDON. June 12.-In d series of brilliant air engagements on the Italian front the British flyers have destroyed 21 enemy planes. This is the number that has been officially credited to the British ai,men. al. though it is practical certainty that the actual number of planes downed far exceeds this amount.
 During the past few weeks air engagements have been very numer. ous along the Italian front. The British airmen have conducted sev. eral very successful bombing par. ties against Austrian positions in which large ammunition piles have been blown up as well as a vast amount of other damage inflicted on the enemy.

THE MANLY ART
 ESSENTIAL FOR
 WARS TRAINING

LONDON, May 15.-Boxing is tc
 be an essential part of the training of every British soldier hencefOrth
 The average training period of the British recruit now is not more than six months, but several hours of each week will be devoted to box ing, partly in an effort to counter act the deadening influence of con tinuous drilling, and partly because boxing is regarded as the best pos sible means of developing the "com bative spirit" in soldiers.
 During the present summer com prehensive program of boxing tour naments will be carried out in every training camp in England, and Amer. ican soldiers who are in camps here will participate in this part of the camp life.
 In an instruction leaflet Colonel H. G. Mayes. director of the Cana dian army gymnastic staff. says:
 "The cultivation of the fighting spirit is the greatest problem with which we ere faced. For some time past the bayonet has been our especial weapon, and no other ma tion has ever achieved such success with cold steel But there is some thing still lacking in the training the soldier is taught the spirit of the bayonet, taught that he must strike hard to kill, but he is not taught to take as well as give pun ishment.
 There is practically only one pastime to give our men this essen tial experience. That is boxing. In no other sport Is the spirit of give and take so strongly developed. And that is why new era in the train- ing of the British soldier has come into existence. We are going to try to teach our men that an offensive, cumulative spirit is the greatest asset a soldier can possess.
 'In order to beat the Germans, the average soldier must realize that d tremendous effort has yet to be made, both physical and mental. Courage is created or largely based on confidence. Boxing teaches a man self-confidence, how 10 take a blow or succession of blows, know ing that his opportunity is coming.
 What we owe to boxing and other sports in this crisis it is i'm possible to calculate, notwithstanding that only ten per cent Of the na- tion participated. The mere fact of watching boxing and other sports has tended in measure to keep alive the cumulative instinct of the British race, although it must be remembered that watching a game may increase an individuals spirit, but does not improve his physique"

BIG WASHOUT
 ON RAILROAD
 NEAR MILE E

NENANA, June 12.-One of the most serious washouts to occur on the line of the government railroad happened today when the embank- ment one mile south of Bailey sta tion was carried away This sec tion of track was completed and being used for the transportation of supplies to the works further up the line, and it's going out will offer serious hindrance to the progress of the grade construction and track laying.
 All the available men in the camps near the scene of the washout are now engaged in putting the track in such shape that traffic may be re- stunned. Failing in establishing a line of communication over the old grade, it is expected that line will be built around the present place until such time as the grade can be rebuilt in order that train service to Mile 15 can be resumed.
 The grade at this place has al ways been source of annoyance to the engineers. When the grade was originally constructed the ground fill was made of logs and other space filling material in the hope that the action of the water would not wear the grade away. The constant high water gradually wore away the em- bankment until it all went. leaving the rails and ties suspended in the air. It is not known at this time if the repairs will be permanent ol only of temporary nature. Should the line which was recently sur veyed be accepted, it will run in an entirely different place than the pres. ent one, and permanent work would be useless, as it would have to be abandoned.

ENDORSEMENT
 REPUBLICAN BY
 DEEMS. UNUSUAL

LANSING. Mich, June 12.-Henry Ford, millionaire automobile manu facturer, has been endorsed by the Democrats of Michigan for United States senator MT. Ford has been mentioned as possible candidate on the Republican ticket to succeed William Alder Smith.
 , In their endorsement of Henry Ford as a candidate for the senate the Democrats of the state say that they heartily support the manufac- turer, "even though he is not within our fold" This action by Demo cratic conference is unparalleled in the political history of the State of Michigan. Never before was a candidate on the Republican ticket given the full endorsement of the Democratic body.
 This action of the conference is material proof of the popularity of Henry Ford throughout this state. Though before the entrance of Am erica into the war MT. Ford was a devoted peace advocate, his whole interests are now centered in the production of war material for the government.

NO NEW OFFER
 PEACE WILL BE
 MADE BY HUNS

LONDON. June 12.-in the forth coming statement of the war aims of the German empire there is no intention to include fresh peace offer, as Germany maintains that the policy previously set forth by her is the one to which she shall adhere.
 The Teutons will in no way alter their proposals for peace, but her intention no doubt will be to reiter- ate the principles for which she claims she is fighting. It is eX- pected that this statement will be made within a short time, but it is not expected that the allies will be confronted with any new German view of the present situation.
 It is believed that Germany con siders under the present circum- stances that it will not be neces- sary to couch her peace proposals in new terms, but will maintain the recognizance of those terms previ- Ously set forth.

ARCHERY SPORT BEING REVIVED
 IN CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, May 15.- Archery has been obscured by other sports for some years past accord ing to Dr. s. J. Pope of this city considered one of the best bowmen in the United States.
 As early revocal in America start ed with the publication of some magazine articles on hunting with the long bow, written by Maurice Thompson in 1878. later put in book form: The Witchery of Archery In the eastern states regular tourna ments are held annually at which as many as sixty bowmen compete for the championship. The last event was held at Wayne, Pennsylvania with Dr. R. P. Elmer the national champion.
 Thirty years ago there were sever. al archery clubs on the Pacific coast The late Frank c. Havens, of Oak. land. E. K Otey and J. o. Cadman were prominent opponents of the game in those days.
 Will H. Thompson an attorney of Seattle has been national champion eight times and Is noted for his hunting with the bow.
 Ishi,. the California Indian, was re. sponsible for the latest return of in terest in bow and arrow in the west.
 His capture and residence at the Museum of Anthropology in San Francisco resulted in several men connected with the university talk. ing archery seriously. Another group centered about w. J. Compton, a western man who learned his shoot. ing from the Sioux Indiana of Ne. braska, among these is Mir Arthur Young. who has developed into one of the best shots in the world.
 At present, on account of the war, there are no tournaments east or west, but the sport lends itself to several other phases. It can be played in competition with golf, as recently shown when Dr. Pope at Del Monte went around the course in 78 shots. holiEg in with his arrow in true golfer style. It is possible to drive an arrow 275 yards, which makes the bowman a formidable rival.
 Altogether" said Dr. Pope here recently. Archery is wonderful sport and deserves more patronage
 Dr. Pope makes his own bows and the Indian, Ishi.
