(L] BOVERNMENT 70 BAR 'EXGESSIVE WAR PROFITS | What Women Like to Know Natty Spring Suit This stylish spring suit is of navy gaberdine, cut with a corselet effect If Prices Are Too High Uncle Sam Can Take Over and Oper- ate Plants. The government has invoked for the first time its drastic powers to strike @ deathblow at exorbitant war profi Under authority of the last naval ap- propriation bill a manufacturer w directed to furnish a large order of war supplies at a price fixed by the govern- ment, far lower than the figure volun- tarily submitted. If the order is not obeyed the plant will be taken over and operated by the governmeunt. It is understood that the concern against which these statutes have been invoked refused to meet the govern- ment’s requirements as to price when the orders were tendered originally and in the regular way. So far as known this is the only case of the kind yet produced by the present emergency. European goveraments are paying an average of 10 per cent profit on war materials purchased in the United States, It was asserted authoritatively that the government of the United States intends to buy its own supplies at less than that rate of profit to the seller. The law invoked is section 3 of the last paval appropriation bill, as follows: The, president is authorized to require the owner or occupler of any factory in ‘which the ships or war material are built or produced to place at.the. disposal of the United States the whole or any part of the.output of such factory and, within the limit of the amounts appropriated therefor, to deliver-such output or parts thereof in such quantities and at such times as may be specified in the order at mined by the president.

Effective Methods of Cann," g For Furniture he commercial furniture polishes are no more effective than some of the simple and inexpensive preparations for keeping furniture in good condi- tion, according to P. J. Newman, as- sistant professor of chemistry in the Kansas Agricultural college. {When. the polish on furniture be- - cqmes dull take a soft sponge and molsten it with clean, cold water and wash the article. Then wipe it clean with a soft. damp chamols skin. Dry the skin as. well as possible by wring- ing in the bhands and wipe the water off the furniture, being careful to wipe only one way. Never use a chamois on varnished work. If the varnish is defaced and shows white marks, take boiled linseed oil and turpentine in equal parts and ap- ply a very small quantity with a soft rag until the color is restored.

The bluish white coating which col- lects on furniture, especially pianos and othér highly polished surfaces, may easily be removed as previously directed. Use “Gets-It® Your Corns Won't Swell -in Watér. Besides, They'll Shrivel, Loosen and Peel Of Put 2 or 3 drops of *Gets-It” on the corn right away. Pain and inflam- mation will disappear, the corn will begin to shrivel from that instant— then it loosens and falls right oft. There’s no other corn-remover in the world that acts like “Gets-It.” No new discovery has been made in corn-removers since *“Gets-It” was born. Don’t forget that fact. “Gets- It” does away forever with the use of salves that irritate, bandages that make a bundle of your toe, plasters that half do the work, knives and scissors that draw blood.
