The supply division is in close touch with manutacturers m cvCi.. . ,512 center of the United States-and some abroad. In an address before the Illinois Manufacturers' association, : Chairman Hurley, of ,the shipping board, said that when 'we speak of "building" ships we are really manu facturing" them; that manufacturers : are, in many cases, running the ship yards, and that back in the steel mills. a.hin shops and other industrial plants of the country, manufacturers are making ships. One phase of the work if this de partment, ordinarily foreign to a pur chasing department, is that of swap ping experience and the untying of knotty financial and labor problems that confront supply houses. Every valuable innovation in busi ness, whether in the office, the factory or the shipyard, and all the way be tween, is passed along to others in like endeavor, so the worK ior tne tjmciBcu cy fleet may be hastened. The manager obtains a great deal or ' practical information other than the facts recited and whenever he has j nroonnnHiTip- situation he has r , -i . i o nlQn of f o-oner- ! I Deen auie iu uuumc a. f , ation demonstrated to be successful. Here was the clearing house idea put into practical operation. The popular conception of this branch ' iof the government's ship-building en terprise, doubtless, is that of a great purchasing agency, constantly impor '; tuned by manufacturers to buy their r wares. A, t It is that, and far more than that. The true perspective of its magni tnii( ramifications and responsibilities ;iare suggested by the expenditures of i the division. Up to August 1, 1918, a single department had purchased over $100,000,000 of. supplies. Recent expen j ditures of another department in one -week amounted to nearly $2,000,000, while the purchases of a third depart ment were a littleover $4,500,000 for the week.

Such a T jone is made up of May-apple, leaves of - ' aloe, root of jalap, and is to be had at any drug store, and called "Pleasant purgative Pellets." If a bad cold devslops, go to bad, s wrap up well, drink freely of hot lem Tt onade and take a hot mustard foot- tath. Have the bedroom warm, but . well ventilated.

If a true case of influ . -nza, the food should be simple, such as, broths, milk, buttermilk and ice - J .- cream; but it is important that food be V given regularly in order to keep up patient's strength and vitality. After - ,t the acute attack has passed, whichis 'generally from three to seven days, ' , ''the'.' system should be built up by the '" "use of a good iron tonic, such as "Iron , jtic" tablets, to be obtained at some ' -". drug stores, or that well known blood- y I maker and herbal tonic made from T roots and barks of forest trees sold .Everywhere as Dr; Pierce's Golden m.ests for assistance in obtaining from firms in New York, Massachu setts.

New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Mississippi. Maryland, npnrtria and Washington. This involv ed nroeeedings extending from the At lantic to the Pacific and irom tanaua to the Erulf. To adequately cover the field in which it operates, the supply division has about fifteen special departments, in the home office, and ten district sup ply managers, with headquarters in Boston. New York. Philadelphia. Youngstown, Washington, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco and Seattle. Take a single product, steel, for ex ample, of the work done. The district supply manager must keep a record of the supply of each yard, reporting as to N the steel received. iaDncaiea aim erected and the reserve supply. This enables the supply division to report steel requirements to the war indus tries board each month. Heads of de partments in Philadelphia are in con stant touch. District purchasing officers are loca ted in Seattle. San Francisco, New Or leans, Jacksonville. Baltimore, , New York, Boston and Cleveland. They are emergency purchasing men, who are al ways prepared to give immediate as sistance to district supervisors and of fleers when there is pressing demand for a material or products. Frequently it has been found by re arranging the physical side , 01 a. iac tory, greater speed could be obtained That has been done by experts irom the supply division. Labor troubles, too, have been settled. Contracts have been split where firms had undertaken more than they could accomplish In every case the expeditor carried the meaning of the war right into ihe office and "It can't be done" was soon wiped out and "It will be done" took its place. Thus when Germany decided to take on America, she started something in the shipbuilding line that will flourish long after she is conquered. What the future has in store has been forecast by Mr. Hurley, whose position as chair man of the shipping board has afforded the broadest possible outlook. Mr. Hurley told the South American dele gates recently in this country that our shipbuilding would eventually mean greatly increased commerce witn tnem and other nations. To American citizens he said that the people in farming .communities mining communities and the great con suming centers must learn to' under- ; stand ships, value them and support : them; that they must make the direct connection of ships with their own in terests as purchasers and consumers to link , up ships with, every American community and industry to .think of ships as national assets to understand ships in all their . possibilities and get behind ships and support them on the broadest and most permanent lines. Building a ship is much akin to building a house, biit the difference is vast and vital. Foundations, walls and ; roof are necessary for. a house;, but. also is the hull essential, to the ship. But the shell is very much more a house than is the hull a ship.- ' :, Ordinarily, when. the. hull is Jaunch- ed the ship is only three-fQutthsnnane- ed. If it takes 200, days . to ;,Dund- a ship, ordinarily about 50 ot these days are used in outfitting it. Often when a house is "delivered" to the owner, the real work of finishing the ? house" has Just begum Not so ,witli a ship. It must be complete, from rudder at the stern to the little flag,way aipon the jackstaff, before it leaves, the builder. That is why there Is a supply xllvisipn In the Emergency t Fleet . corporation that has no equal in' the world. v ' aged 82.

German soldiers on the British sector of the western front evidently were not as well off in the matter of food as their brothers who fought on the French and American- sectors. The correspondent of the Associated Press found at Valencien nes. for example, that the soldiers' food consisted largely of black bread, nork fat and raw turnips. Tn-the St. Mihiel section," on the oth er hand, the Germans has biscuit made of white flour, compressed beer, dui ter and, cheese. A part of these ra tions had come from Russia, having been sent originally to that country for the .Russian army by , the United States. In the French sector from Rheims to Verdun, .the food generally of the German forces was of better grade and greater in quantity than that of the men fighting in the north. In both the American and French armies stars mark general's rank. Thus a French brigadier wears two stars on his sleeve, and a general of a. division three. A brigader-gnerai or the United States army has one tar. a major-general two, and a iieuienani general three. i December I At 10:30 A.M. Rain or Shine terms! Valuable souvenirs given away.
