Old Employees to Lose Jobs and Pensions

No comparatively large number OF
federal employees is affected by the
decision, it is believed, but among
those employees who will be deprived
of retirement under annuity, and Of
their jobs at the same time. there are
said to be some rather pathetic cases.
Particularly will it come hard. it Is
declared, to automatically separate

watchman of the interior department,
who is now more than eighty years old
and has served in the department just
fourteen years, one less than neces-
sary. A charwoman in the pension bu-
reau, which is handling the administra-
ton of the retirement law, is more
than eighty years old, but has not
served fifteen years.
Attorney General Palmer in his de-
cision takes up in detail the various
clauses of the retirement law which
seemed to make ambiguous the matter
of retiring or not retiring certain en-
ployees and led Secretary Payne to ask
whether such employees in his depart
ment who have attained the age of
seventy years, but have not rendered

EATONIC Users
DO This Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, nl.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. s. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that 1t stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but. tho
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out Of the system. This requires a
little time, for Eatonic takes up the,
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out Of the body and of course,
when it is allremoved, the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full Of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonic
now and then, be sure and take 1t regu-
!arly for time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to-
your druggist about this so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv

Air Mail Men

Mr.. Praeger addressed to "All Super

In which he says:
''The records Indicate that If the

Of the scheduled time Of departure the

sions would have made a wonderful

''The general efficiency performance

this failure of the Newark field man.

to start its plane on time to WASH

'This trouble exists to some degree
on other fields. It can be eliminated,
or certainly greatly improved, If
planes are promptly inspected, tested
and served in the afternoon before the
flight If the departure Of the plane Is
scheduled early the following fore

delinquency, the pilots, mechanics and

Fuel Oil Distribution to Be Regulated

COME plan for the regulation Of the
y distribution of fuel oil may be
resorted to If the present menace of
a serious shortage continues. A con-
ference Of representatives of the lead
ing refineries and users of fuel oil to
work out some joint plan Of dlstribu-
tion has been suggested by Secretary
Of Commerce Alexander.
The suggestion has been made par
ticularly with reference TO the situa-
ton In California, in a letter to Sena-
tor Phelal Of that state. Secretary
Alexander opposes any embargo be-
cause of its effect upon American ex-
port trade. He takes the position that
an embargo should be used only as a
last resort.
Latest figures show that the navy
now needs 100000 barrels Of fuel oil
year and that the shipping board,
with its new merchant fleet, will re-
quire 4O,0OO,O00 barrels for 1920 and
10000, 900 barrels for 1921.
The demand for fuel oil for the
ships OF the navy and government
owned merchant marine alone equals
the present output Of American re-
fineries for about four months.
Prices Of oil have rapidly advanced,
contracts awarded by the shipping
hoard and navy during recent months
being about double those Of . year

PLENTY next DOOR,
Record Harvest Predicted for
Canada.


After having made careful sur
vey of the wheat producing area of
the United States, experts whose busi.
ness 1t is to keep the people informed
on the acreage sown to foodstuffs
state that this year there will be n
falling off in the wheat production in
the States, due to considerably less
area cultivated. The opinion Of these
experts is that the decrease will be-
several hundred million bushels OF
wheat less than in previous years,
which according to past experience
will be scarcely sufficient to meet the
requirements of the demands of the
people of this country.
In Canada, however, the situation
is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
we're the prospects so encouraging for
a bumper harvest. 1t is predicted
that the yield this year will be even
greater than in 1915, the year Of the
record harvest in Canada, when the
total production was 393,542,60G
bushels. Not only is the wheat looking
excellent, but the same is true of oats,
barley and fax, of which a greatly
increased acreage has been sewn i'm
the great grain producing provinces Of
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come at the right time to stimu-
late growth and there is now consider
able moisture in the ground. With
the world generally facing shortage
of wheat and a continued heavy de-
mand for it, the price is likely to be-
maintained at the present high figure
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than in previous
years and it is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came to Western Canada
and bought improved farms in the
early spring have every prospect Of
a crop yield that will give them re-
turn sufficiently large, after paying
all current expenses, to pay off large
part of their capital investment.
Livestock is in excellent condition
everywhere. the rains having induced
good growth of grass.-AdvertiSe-

THE ARMY has found the perfect
man. 1t all came about because
of the poor fitting uniforms with which
Uncle Sam had to equip his army. The
uniforms have been made to order on
antiquated patterns, held to by the
war department from time immemor-

couldn't fit the recruits. Every now and

clothes instead of wearing a snug

Just before the war the army took
measurements of 1000 men. From the
average, the patterns were made by
which uniforms were ordered. But the
result was the same. The clothes
wouldn't fit.
But from now oa they probably
will. DR.. G. B. Davenport, of the Car
