GROCERS FACE PROSPECTS OF GOING TO WALL

President Meyer of State Dealers Asks for Unified Regulation. 'Many grocers will be forced out of business unless an equal basis of regu lation on certain food prices is established, according to President David Meyer, of Anderson, of the Indiana Retailers, Wednesday night, at a meeting of the newly organized Retail and Wholesale Grocers of Wayne County. "This whole thing is hard to handle because It Is so big and new," said the speaker. The difficulty lies for one thing in the lack of knowledge that the average food administrator has of the grocery business and of the many difficulties with which the grocer has to deal." A series of Illustrations involving the speaker's experience in meeting the present problems which confront the grocers were given. "Dealers Must Live" ' "In this time of war all are more than willing to meet the situation imposed by war conditions but the deal er must lire and with his narrosj profits he will be Unable to do so if some of the present regulations are enforced." Elmer Eggemeyer presided for President McCarthy and led in the discussion which followed. Eggemeyer said it was hard to regulate the sale of sugar and bread with so .many conflicting orders and he thought the retail grocer should devote all energies to having a definite understanding as to. seselling prices of these commodities in order to get some sort of basis of action. Several retail grocers from Milton, Cambridge City and Liberty attended the meeting' and took part n the discusBion. - Grocers Dissatisfied. The discussion brought out that there is much dissatisfaction among the grocers over the conflicting rulings of food administrators in differ-1 ent localities. In some counties sugar sell for nine cents a pound and In others ten cents and when a grocer from Rush county made complaint to State Food Administrator Barnard he was told he must abide by the ruling for his county. John , Zwissler said he was not a grocer but he was a baker and could not speak about the troubles of a grocer but he knew exactly what their position was on the bread question. Zwissler said, despite the fact that State Administrator Barnard had set the price of bread in Indiana, the National Association of Master Bakers had wired the Indiana association officials Barnard was "overstepping his authority in setting the price of bread in Indiana." Don't Want To Go Broke. "Bakers want to sell bread as cheaply as possible," said Zwissler, "but at a fair price. The government does not want the dealer to do business end go broke. How can a man contribute to any war funds unless he makes money." Ed. Stegman said there was no use discussing the manner in which the government was operating for if the grocer couldn't meet the prices set the government would compel him to coma to it anyway, Weidner said he got his Instructions from the state and he had to abide by them no matter at what price they fixed bread and sugar or any other commodity. "The grocers of Wayne county are willing to do all they can but they are anxious that there be one price to every grocer in the state," said Eggemeyer. ORATORICAL MEET AT HIGH SCHOOL Judges for the oratorical contest at the high school chapel Friday morning are Secretary Albus, Professor Shannon Neff, head of the history department, and Miss Esther Griffin White. , The successful contestant will have his name engraved on the sliver "loving cup presented to the school last year. .

Hans Koll Cured of Sleeping in Chair

Hans N. Koll, Richmond insurance man. has a habit of sleeping in barber chairs, while the barber removeB the. night's growth of whiskers. Tuesday Koli was cured of that habit, as the result of a dream. Ha was "peacefully" sleeping in one Of the chairs in Carl Piatt's shop on North Ninth street, while George Sowders "worked" on him. Suddenly he threw his hand up to his face, still sleeping, and suddenly . brought it down again. His finger caught the razor's edge cutting a deep gash. And now Koll promises to stay awake in the barber's chair. ARMY ABROAD Continued From Page One. military . service is one and a half times as large as any force ever mobilized by this nation. "A substantial part of our military forces was selected, by the operation of a draft law. the execution of which has demonstrated botti the economical and the efficient way of selecting Soldiers. The law Itself was drawn, its execution csrried to a successful conclusion, and the theory of the law, novel to our people, explained and made popular, because of Its demonstrated facility both In plain and execution. "For the training of officers, two Bertes of training camps were held from which about 4,500 officers were commissioned from civil life. This number is nearly eight times as great as the number of officers in the regular army op the first day of April. Average Profit 2.89. "For the training of these soldiers, sixteen cantonments have been built, costing 1134,000,000, with an average profits to the contractors of 2.98 per cent "The death rate in our forces in the United States, from mid-September to the end of December averaged 7.5 per thousand, and Is slightly less that would have been the death rate of men of the same age at home. In 1898. the death rate per thousand was :u.i. or nearly three Umes a great. Our death rate In the army during the year 1916, just before the war, was five per thousand. Leaving out the deaths due to measles and its complications, our rate among all troops in the United State, since September 1, has been about two per thousand. "For the fiscal year 1915, congress appropriated for the war department $168,000,000; for the fiscal years, 1916 $203,000,000; for the fiscal years 1917. $403,000,000; for the fiscal year 1918, $7,527,338,716. In other words, taking 1915 as a normal year, the appropriations for 1918 are nearly fifty times as great. "The regular appropriations made by congress for all governmentl purposes for the fiscal year 1915 were $720,000,000, or nearly one- tenth the 1918 appropriations for the war department alone. "Of the total war department appropriations for 1918, $3,200,000,000 was for the ordnance department of which contracts amounting to $1,677,000,000 aireaay nave been Dlaeed. "On the first day of April, 1917, the orcmance department consisted of 97 commissioned officers, while now it consists of 3,004 officers, and. In addition, has 26,120 enlisted personnel. New Weapons Studied "In addition to the selection and training of this new force, the makinn of these great contracts and the follow-up necessary in the ma7iufacturlng processes, a continuous study of new weapons and instrumentalities has been kept up, a constant contact kept wun trained men abroad studying the operation of ordnance material in bat tle, and accordingly modifying designs and plans here by reason of observa tion and experience. "Many of the classes of ordnance material requiring to be designed specifications drawn, and contracts let were wholly unfamiliar to our normal military practices. The trench warfare material alone involvea commit ments of $282,000,000. "Many of the ordnance departments' contracts involve increase of plant facilities, or The jconstruction of new plants, and constant inspection by inspectors who have had to be trained in specially established schools. "For the quartermaster general's department in 1918, $3,018,000,000 waa appropriated, or a sum more than four times as great as the 1915 appropria tions for all governmental purposes. "On the first day of April there were 347 bffiers in the quartermaster corps. On the first day of January. 1918, there was a total of 6,431 officers. Two Billions Spent "On the first day of January, 1918, nearly two billion dollars of the appropriation had been obligated by contracts or disbursements. "This business involved accounting, determination of standards, prices quantities and the creation of new manufacturing facilities. "In the woolen goods section alone, the cooperation of over 300,000 mills was Involved and the following items gives some idea of the extensive character of the operations; there have been purchased over 19,000,000 blankBETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr, Edwards' Olive Tablets are " a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are a mild- but cure laxative, and their effect on the liver la almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel His effort to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't Injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomeL but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness and that lasy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. 10c and 25c a box. All druggists.

In cotton goods the department had contracted for 250,000,000 yards of various cotton cloths. "The aviation section of the signal corps on the first day of April 1917, consisted of 5 officers and 1,120 men. On the first day of January 1918, It consisted of 5,900 officers and 82,120 men. "This division of the war department was charged by congress with the , expenditure of an appropriation aggregating, for 1918 $744,008,000, or 6 times the 1915 appropriation for the entire war department. 700 Per Cent Gain. "The engineer department for whieh in 1917. $53,000,000 was appropriated was charged by the 1918 appropriation with the expenditure of $390,000,000 or about seven hundred per cent Increase. "There have been organized, trained and equipped technical troops of foresters, stevedores, and railroad construction and operation men, aggregating about 120,000, many of whom have been operating in France for some months." In summing up the war department's work, the secretary gave the following as its chief accomplishments: "1 A large army in the field and In

training; so large that further increments to It can be adequately equip ped and trained as rapidly as those already in training can be transport' ed. "2 The army has been enlisted and selected without serious dislocation of the industries of the country. "3 The training of the army is proceeding rapidly, and Its spirit is high. The subsistence of the army has been above criticism; its Initial clothing supply, temporarily inadequate, is now substantially complete, and reserves will rapidly accumulate. Arms of the most modern and effective kind Including artillery, machine guns, automatic rifles, and small arms have been provided by manufacture or purchase for every soldier in France, and are available for every soldier who can be gotton to Franoe in the year 1918. Substantial Army Abroad. "4 A substantial army is already In France, where both men and officers have been additionally and specially trained and are ready for active servIce. "5 Independent lines of communication and supply and vast storage and other facilities are in process of construction in France. "6 Great programs for the manufacture of additional equipment and for the production of new instruments of war have been formulated." "I make this statement," continued the secretary, "fully aware that there have been produced before the members of this committee, some expressions of doubt, difference of opipion, and disapproval. The war department has spent eight months hearing similar expressions, analyzing them, correcting the conditions out of which they grew, perfecting its organization to prevent their recurrence and all the while driving on to the accomplishment of the main task. "My military assistants and I ap preciate the work which this commit tee has done and will value snjrestions from the committee as a whole, from its individual members and from every other patriotic citijeens which will enable us to carry ton this work more effectively and more rapidly. "In the foregoing statement there

are two exceedingly significant figures; namely, that on the first day of April the ordnance department consisted of 97 officers and the quartermaster general's department of 347 officers, while they now respectively comprise 3,004 and 6,431 officers. There waa no ready trained body of men in the country who could have been selected suddenly to assume the highly technical and specialized work of these two divisions. Men of somewhat similar training had to be chosen. As the work proceeded, sub-division and re-sub-divielon became possible. "On December 15, I was therefore, In a position to anonnce a general reorganization, accomplishing the following results: H. Created a war council upon which General Crozler. General Sharpe, General Weaver. General Cowder and the chief of staff, have been designated to sit with the secretary of war and the assistant secretary of war, and to which council, men of capacity, either from the army or from civil life, will be added from time to time. The purpose of the council Is that its members being free from the burdens of detailed administration, can take a large supervisory view of all questions of organisation and supply, and give to the government the highest value of their talents and experience, "2. Under General Wheeler, with the advice of his military assistants and of industrial experts, the machinery of the ordnance department is being thoroughly re-organized in preparation for the new phase of its work upon which it Is now entering. Its several operations will be conducted under the direction either of officers already In the service who now in a position to give their entire energies ta their administration, or by men specially chosen from civil life, because of their experience and capacity.

been bothered since. My husband had stomach trouble and he used Fruitola, too, with most satisfactory results." Fruitolt and Traxo are compounded from the original Edsall formulas at the Pinus laboratories in Mcnticello. Ills., and can be purchased in drug stores; a doctor's prescription Is not necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that acts as an intestinal lubricant and disintegrates the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense relief. One dos is usually sufficient to indicate It eflicacy. Traxo is a tonic-alternative that is most effective to rebuild and restore the weakened, run-down system. A booklet of special interest to those who suffer with 6tomacb trouble can be obtained by writing to the Pinus Laboratories, Monticello. Illinois.

transportation anil supply of a magnitude never until now approached In the history of our government. Here also the efficiency of the department Is being strengthened by the calling from civil life of men of the highest capacity to administrate certain of its great subdivisions. "A new view of the work of the council of national defense and of the war Industries board is now possible "The council of national defense Is. of course, an advisory body without executive powers. Its members have severally the powers of their respect Ive departments. The purpose of the council, however, was a reconciliation of conflicts and a survey of the national needs and resources. This purpose it has served and Is serving. The general munitions board and Its successor the war industries board, with their committees, were organized by the council for the following purposes: "1 Assign priorities as among the several departments of the government and the allied governments In their demands upon the industries of the country. "2 Advise as to supplies of materials and labor. "2 Advise on questions of price. "4 Secure industrial and labor cooperation. "5 Avoid enhancement of prices, confusion of industries, exhaustion of labor and generally to prevent all avoidable evils which might result, from the speed and magnitude of the -new operations. "To these objects, It was admirably adapted, and it has accomplished a great work. ' "We can now eee the entire situation. The initial rush nejds are substantially supplied. The technical corps have been expanded and reorganized upon Industrial and efficient lines. "The coordination of ally needs with our own, purchases has been effected. An agency exists to prevent conflicts and to adjust those which cannot be presented."

Suffered Terribly But Did Not Want te Submit to an Operation Mrs. Mary K. Perontka, R. F. D. No. 1, Box 41, Milladore, Wise, is a firm believer in Frultalo and Traxo. She writes: "I wish I could tell everybody how much Fruitola and Traxo has done for our family. Both my husband and I were cured of gall stones, and in such a short time and at such little cost, and Fruitola is so easy to take. Four years I suffered those terrible spells and at last the doctor said I had gall stones and advised an operation. I said if the doctors were in the house when I had one of those spells I might let them operate, but not otherwise. My daughter wrote to a lady who had been cured of gall stones without an operation and who recommended Fruttola. I took only one bottle of Fruitola and have not
