commanded:
Hand over that bottle"
A man sitting next lady reached
laboriously under the car seat and
brought forth the bottle. It was
topped with a nipple and contained
milk.

Don't Spoil Your Child's
 Hair By Washing It

When you wash your child's hair be careful what you use, Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali. which is very fn- furious, as 1t dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle,
 The best thing to use is Mulhhed coooanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. IL is very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces.
 Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsi- fled in a cup or glass with a little warm water is all that is required. Simply moisten the hair with water. and rub the Mulsified in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father. cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft. fresh looking. bright fluffy. wayy and easy to man age. Besides, 1t ioosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. You can get Mulsincd cocoanut oil shampoo at any drug store, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Null sined. A

POLAND WILL DEMOLISH
 ARTISTIC RUSSIAN CHURCH
Cathedral in Warsaw Is Considered By the Poles to Be Symbol of
 Russian Oppression.

Warsaw, April 27.-During the Russian regime a Russian cathedral was erected in Warsaw. Richly deco rated with paintings and wonderful mosaics, it was an object of admira- tion of all foreigners who visited the city. To the Poles, however. it was but another symbol of Russian op- precision.
 When, in 1915. the Russians with drew iron. Warsaw, the first impulse of the populace was to destroy this cathedral, but other counsel prevailed. The Germans in their occupation of Warsaw stripped it of its bronze roofs, which they replaced with wooden ones But these roofs afforded poor protection against the weather, and it was soon found necessary to close the cathedral.
 Owing to its present dilapidated condition and the reluctance of the Poles to spend money on the restora- tion of monument which has al- ways been hateful to them, it has been decided that it shall be pulled down. Before starting on the actual of the cathedral, however, other more pressing works will he taken in hand. so that the delay still gives little hope to those who are against its destruction.

Are Momen orer,xorked

Yes, hundreds of thousands of them are. This applies to the housewife and mother who struggles on small Income to make both ends meet by doing all the washing, ironing, cook ing, making and mending for large family. There are others who not only support themselves working in factories. shops. stores and offices, but often have an invalid father or mother to support. therefore do homework beside. These are the women who break down early and are afflicted with various forms of female weakness. Ninetyeight out of every 100 women who have tried Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound have proved that 1t is a suc- cessful remedy for woman's ills. For nearly fifty years 1t has been restor- Ing women to health, and it will pay every ailing woman to try 1t.

FARMERS' SUCCESS
 IS U. s. PACEMAKER
Secretary Of Agriculture Shows
 Need for Understanding

Washington. April 27.--The urgent need for a better understanding be- tween the important groups of citi- sens engaged in agriculture, in indus try, and in general business is forcc- fully pointed out by Henry c. Wallace. Secretary of Agriculture in state- ment discussing their relationship.
 "As our civilization becomes more complex" he declares, "the relation ship between agriculture, industry and general business becomes more and more intimate. What hurts the one will certainly hurt the others. In general, what helps one will help the others. They must work together for tho common good.
 There has always been tacit recignition of our national depend- ence upon agriculture. We have given an intellectual assent to such state, ments as, The farmer is the backbone of the nation,' "A prosperous nation depends upon a prosperous agricu- ture,' Agriculture is the basis of na- tionai life,' and so on. The truth of such statements has never been driven home to us so effectively as during the last two years.
 Drop in Prices
 The drop in prices which began early in 1920 is familiar history. Farmers were the first to suffer and suffered most. Taking prices of 1913 as representing 100 the prices of farm products in May, 1920, stood at 23s. During that month they began to fall, and before the decline could be ar- rested they had dropped below the 1913 level, standing at 94 in Decem- Der. 1921. Then we had a terribly vivid illustration of our dependence upon agriculture and the intimate re- lationship between agricultural pros- perity and business prosperity. Many farmers could not pay current ex- penses. The ratio between prices of things the farmers produced and sold and prices of thethings they bought was so distorted that they were forced to practice the most rigid economy
New Britain herald., 1923-04-27

and reduce their buying to absolute necessities. Great industries which depend directly upon farm buying were plunged almost immediately into profound depression. Thousands of manufacturing plants had . similar experience, The railroads suffered through reduction in freight on things farmers buy. Business of every sort shared the disaster. Hundreds of banks failed. Thousands of banks tottered along tho edge of bankruptcy. Perhaps three million men weer thrown out of work. The financial de- presslon was widespread.
 Turn Reached fin 1921
 'The turn was reached in the win ter of 1a21-22, since which time there has been a gradual increase in the prices of farm products. Gradually farmers have been ablc to pay some of their debts and resume their buy ing. As a result thero has been steady improvement in business. until now there is general optimism. The ratio between prices of farm products and prices Of other commodities is still abnormal. Until this ratio be- comes more nearly normal the full measure of prosperity will not be re- stored.
 While the experience of the last three years has brought sharply to our attention the intimate relation ship between business and agriculture, the existence of such intimate rcla- tionship is no new thing. A compari- son of the farmers purchasing power with business failures during the last third of a century tells the story In a graphic way. During the 10 years 1890 to 1900 the purchasing power of the farmer was below the 30 year average: the percentage of buisness failures was considerably above. From 1900 to 1920 there was gradual in- crease in the farmers purchasing power. From 1901 to 1908 this pur- chasing power was almost the average of the 30 year period, while from 1908 to 1920 1t was considerably above. The percentage of business failures dropped below the 30 year average from 1899 to 1920 with the exception of two short periods, one in 1908 and the other in 1915 and 1915.
 We have about 6.5o0,000 farms. More than one-fourth of all our peo- pie who are engaged in gainful occu- pations work on the farms. The cap ital invested in farming is about 70 billion dollars. The money invested in farm buildings. machinery and live stock, not including the value of the farm land, would buy all the railroads

ALASKAN RAILROAD
 ID BRING RETURNS
Will Mean Much to the People in
 That Section of Country

Washington, April 27.--With the addition of 6 few last touches on a large steel bridge over the Tanana river at Nenana. Alaska. the govern ment will practically complete the second largest construction job 1t has ever undertaken. This Is the Alaska railroad, which has cost approximate ly G,o00,0 ,0oo, was eight years in building, and which runs 467 miles Into the heart of the territory from Seward, on Resurrection Bay, to Fair banks, on tho Panama. By the end Of June the construction force will lay down tools for the last time. Trains are running the entire length of the road. and have been for about IS months.
 Will Mean Much to People.
 What the road will mean to Alaska and It's people, government officials hesitate to say. The returns will be immense. The development of the territory's mineral resources and ag- ricultural possibilities resulting from completion of successful artery con- meeting with the outside world the entire year round. is beyond com- pute.
 Annual revenues from freight and passengers already exceed s339,00o, and as trafflc increases with comple- tion engineers see a revenue of al- most q million dollars annually.
 Coal, Gas and Oil.
 While Alaska is casually thought of ,,I 1f ioa t,,ar ro1 production has been only portion of it's resources. Coal also is found ex- tensively, as well as the slightly less valuable Ignite; gas and oil have been discovered. and development has started only recently. The railroad penetrates these fields. and not only provides the rest of Alaskj with fuel cheaper than can be imported. but may some day make them an impor- tant source for the nation.
 The fisheries, timber industry and homestesding in Alaska's rich agricul- tural districts will all be benefited through better transportation and cheaper rates on food and clothing. While the interior has heretofore been locked in tightly in winter except to sleds. the railroad will provide a ready exit to open water to the south during the entire year.
 While the climate was one of the most formidable obstacles to construc- ton, others as difficult were met and overcome. Even the winter freezing of the rivers was put to advantage to facilitate bridge construction, The thick ice was utilized to bear much of the false work.
 Three long bridges were built. The first, across the Susitna river at Gold Creek. Is a 500 feet span that cost approximately $943,oo0. The Hurri- cane Gulch bridge, buttressed against the rocky canyon walls, is 300 feet above the stream and has a span of 3So feet. The Nenana bridge, which is just being completed, spans the Tanana at that town over 700 foot bridge which, with trestle approaches. Is 1900 feet in overall length No channel piers were used in these bridges because of the danger of the spring ice break-up.
 Broad Pass. the highest point of the road. where it crosses the Alaska Range, is 2,400 feet above sea level. l

Have You Piles?
Then You Haye something to Lear1,

Then You Have Something to Learn
 Thousands who have piles have not learned that quick and permanent relief can only be accomplished with internal medicine. Neither cutting nor any amount of treatment with oint- ment and suppositorles will remove the cause.
 Bad circulation causes piles. There is a complete stagnation of blood in the lower bowel and weakening of the parts. Dr. J. s. Leonhardt was first to find the remedy. His prescrip- ton. HEM ROID, is now sold by all druggists. Dr. Leonhardt tried 1t in 1000 cases with the marvellous record of success in 9s per cent and then de- cided 1t should be sold under rigid money-back guarantee.
 Don't waste any more time with outside applications. Get a package of HEM-ROID from The Clark and Brainerd Co. today. It has given safe and lasting relief to thousands and should do the same for you--it seldom fails.

Free Theater Tickets
 Discontinued in Vienna

Vienna, April 27. - The commis- sioner of retrenchments has put a stop to the heavy losses incurred by the state theaters in the granting of passes and the sale of seats under the standard price. Being state insti tutions. the thoaters in the past have been bled by state functionaries to fl degree that promised financial ruin, Only 43 per cent of the tickets were placed on sale at standard prices the remainder was subject to heavy dis counts or free distribution.
 Henceforth only few boxes will be reserved for complimentary allotment to persons of importance: the public will have fair chance to buy every other seat in the house.

in the United States and in addition a considerable number of the mines.
 "The number of people engaged in farming is 80 per cent greater now than in 1870, but the volume of crop production in 1920 was 256 per cent grater than in 1870.
 Business and agriculture are de- pendent upon one another. A pros- porous agriculture means a prosper ous nation. It is to the advantge of the business man that the farmer be fair ly prosperous. Conversely it is to the advantage of the farmer that business be fairly prosperous. It is not to the advantage of either that either the one or the other should be so pros- porous that intemperate speculation and waste is stimulated, because ad- versity always follows such a period"
