10000 Men to Lose
Jobs in Breweries

st. Louis, Oct. 2.-Nineteen brew
cries employing about 10000 men,
are expected to discontinue business
in st. Louis December 1. when the
Food Administrations order prohib-
iting manufacture of beer and other
malt liquors goes into effect.
Not only will the proposed closing
of the breweries release 900 men
for other employment, but 400 of
the 1900 saloons now in st. Louis
are expected to be closed by Janu-
airy 3. The remainder probably will
be closed in few months after that
date. 1t is estimated that the beer
on hand when the breweries close
will last from two to four months.

eminent control of railroads for flVe
years, or until January |, 1921, was
recommended by Director General Me
AdoO in letter to the Chairman of
the Senate and House Interstate Com
merge Committees. This would per-
init Il fair trial of Government opera
ton, said Mr.. McAdOo, and eliminate
the unsettled condition under which
the railroads must be operated during
the next year or two If their status
is not changed materially by legisla-
ton. This recommendation is not
made in support of any theories con-
corning the best ultimate policy of
running the railroads, Mr.. McAdoo ex-
planned, but only to give the nation
time to form its ideas carefully.
The Director General explained that
it is impossible to retain the roads
under Government control for u
months after the declaration of peace
without further legislation, owing to
the strain on the morale of officers
and employees, and pointed out the
difficulty of soon obtaining comprehen-
sive legislation on the subject.
President Wilson, in his recent adj
dress TO Congress, said he was unable
to decide what should be done with
the railroads, and asked Congress to
take up the question for discussion i'm
mediately. He declared that unless ac-
tion was Forthcoming he would be
forced to turn back the roads to
private management. Acting under
this plan the railroad administration
has been preparing to relinquish con-
troll of the railroads, and it was the
general understanding that the admin
istratiOn would wait two or three
months before actually starting the
REIMBURSEMENT proceedings to give
Congress a chance to act Recent de-
velopments have shown the difficulty
of determining Il final policy at this
time, however, according to railroad
administration officials.

MANY OWN LIBERTY BONDS
Conservative Estimate That Trere Is
One in Every Home Throughout
the Country.

Before the war there were sub
standally 100000 savings bank de-
positors. Add to this 100000 de-
positors in state banks, which list, of
course, includes many commercial ac-
counts; 100000 postal savings bank
depositors and 100000 deposltors in
private banks. After eliminating du-
plications, it would likely be lib
eral TO estimate that there We're a.
100000 money savers in the United
States before the war, with not to
exceed 100000 families probably
represented in this number. The
fourth Liberty loan was supported by
21,000,000 subscriptions. 1t would
likely be extremely conservative to say
that 100000 others have subscribed
to former issues of the Liberty loan,
and were unable TO do so in the fourth
loan. We can then with safety say
there are 24000000 owners of Lib
erty bonds In America today. BY

Gates we are nor in danger of misstat-
ing facts when we say that there is

The MAKING OF
4 FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
IS Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy Is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as q final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.
