Avoid Spring Colds. Sudden changes, high winds, shifting seasons cause colds and grippe, and these spring colds are annoying and dangerous and are likely to turn into a chronic summer cough. In such cases take a treatment of Dr. King’s New Discovery, a pleasant laxative tar syrup. It soothes the cough, checks the cold and helps break up an attack of grippe. Its already prepared, no mixing or fussing. Just ask your druggist for a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery. Tested and tried for over 40 years. —Advt.

Bulletin No. 1 A Mistake in the Policy of the Bethlehem Steel Company To the People: The Senate of the United States has passed a bill to spend $11,000,000 of the People’s money to build a government armor plant. The measure is now before the House of Represeptatives. It is said that manufacturers of armor have “gouged” the country in the past, and that a government plant is necessary to secure armor more cheaply. V ♦ The mistake of the Bethlehem Steel Company has been that it has kept quiet. We have allowed irresponsible assertions to be made for so long without denial that many neonla now believe them to be proven facts. ' We shall make the mistake of silence no longer. Henceforth we shall pursue a policy of publicity. Misinformation will not be permitted to go uncorrected. « It is and has been the policy of our Company to [deal with the American Government fairly and squarely. We shall henceforth place the details of our relations with the Government before the American People. The United States has for twenty years obtained the highest grade of armor and has paid a lower price for it than has any other great naval power. Figures officially compiled for the Senate Committee on Naval Affaire from the Naval Year Book show that under conditions prevailing juat before the European war, the chief naval powers of the world were neyine theae pricea for armor: England, $503 per bon; France, $460; Germany, $490; Japan, $490; UNITED STATES, $425. . . * ■' ’ . * • ' A government plant cannot make armor any cheaper than we can do it; and— We are prepared to manufacture armor at any price which the Government itself shall name as fair. THAT BEING SO, SHOULD $11,000,000 OF^THE PEOPLE’S MONEY BE WASTED TO BUILD A GOVERNMENT PLANT? ■ CHAS. M. SCHWAB, Chairman .LI 1 O- 1 mugene g. grace. Preaident Bethlehem bteel Company
