a dingy attic of five story building
at SOL Broome street.
On the top floor of the adjoining
building at $50 Broome street the de-
tectives found 800 bottles Of alleged
liquor. the bottles bearing labels and
revenue stamps of the same kind as
those found in the printing shop. The
detectives also found various sized
washtubs, boilers and other contain
ers. several five gallon empty cans Of
alcohol and bottles of coloring matter.
The printing plant was said by De-
partment of Justice agents who accom-
panied the detectives to be one Of The

New York. Two presses for the en-
graved plates and other valuable print
ing machinery were capable. 1t was said

PROBLEMS IN ROAD BUILDING
Officials of State Organizations and
Bureau of Public Roads Dis
cuss Questions.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture,)
The committee on tests of the
American Society of State Highway
Officials met with the officials of the
bureau of public roads of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
Washington, June 26 and 81. to con-
slider standardization of specifications
and tests for road materials. The
purpose OF this meeting of representa-
tives from all sections of the country
was not so much to lay down rigid
rules as to harmoniZe the general
practice. Standardization taking into
account local conditions is being
brought about by a series of meetings
between officials from groups jof states
and engineers of the bureau.
The present activity of highway of
ficials along this line is most encourag-
ing for road building. A few years
ago the general tendency was toward
individuality in each state without
much opportunity for exchange of
ideas and knowledge. To-day the ten
dency is in the other direction, and a
better solution should be reached
when the problems are discussed at
| meetings of the hest highway engi-
neering talent of the country.

FREEDOM FROM

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that Of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not laxative
It cannot grippe. 1t Is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water 1t IS
harmless and pleacant.

Garget or mammitis is almost

weeks some men feed the calves three
times day. This is an excellent
practice, but many do not give proper
attention to the temperature of the
milk, particularly at no,S. This milk
is often given cold and it would be
