NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1917. * 1HIGH PRODUCTION * AND FOREIGN TRADE ' Must Develop to Enable Country to Use Full Strength New York, Nov. 27.—American in- dustries must be stimulated to high production and > America’s foreign trade must develop to enable this country to use its full strength in winning the war, declares the National | Foreign Trade Council in a report sub- | mitted vesterday to President Wilson. “Practically all the money in the Allied portions of the world, and most of that held by neutrals, in time, can be made available for our war | emergencies if our production con- stantly provides a proper basis for foreign trade,” says the Council, The report was prepared by Lewis E. Pierson, chairman of the board ot directors of the Irving National Bank, | of New York. It will be submitted to the Ways and Means committee of the House of Representatives and to the Finance Committee of the Senate. | It was drawn up in an effort by the Council to aid the government in the fixing of commodity prices and in the taxation of business profits. These problems are described by the Council as perhaps the most serious and difficult the government has ever | encountered in its relation to business | interests. Asserting that in an ideal plan for | price fixing and profit taxing, high | production and not low prices should | be the controlling consideration the report says: 2 i “If the final determination of the' RTION)- i) M 7 i I"f “GOOD-BYE, DEAR” “Don’t worry about the coal. ; 2 " - war is to be measured to any con- The Perfection Oil Meater keeps 3 | siderable extent by the relative eco- = % § | nomic power of the belligerents—and, me warm wherever I am.

For 1it is foreign trade, says the report, that “is tHe source from which the greater portion of our gold must come, and from which our national | gold reserve will derive its greatest security. Foreign trade also pro- vides the possibility of keeping the entire national energy at all times employed in profitable produltion by creating a foreign demand for prod- | ucts for which there would be no de- | mand at home. Bffectiveness of American partici- | pation in the war, says the National Foreign Trade Council, demands the maintenance of production in prac- tically all lines at the maximum ca- pacity, and the maintenance of foreign | trade during the war is a most effi- | cient means of predenting disturbance of credit, insuring funds with which to meet the needs of Government in or loan: stabilizing condi- STANDARD OIL CO.

But hasty and careless eating frequently interferes with the digestion and starts stomach troubles. Good health depends so much on the condition of the stomach, that unusual care should be taken to keep it in good order. To maintain A Healthy Stomach take Beecham’s Pills at the first sign of a sick headache, indigestion, biliousness or constipation. A dose or two will usually right the trouble, tone the digestion and improve the appetite. Made entirely of medicinal herbs, these pills act naturally, without any unpleasant after-effects.

We firmly believe that it is only by careful and faithful application of sound economic principles that we can carry through successfully the enormous burden laid upon us.” THIRD OF A MILLION. This Number of Persons Dicd of Three Particular Discases. Washington, Nov. 27.Nearly a third of a million deaths reported in the United States during 1916 were caused by heart disease, tuberculosis pneumonia. Figures made public by the census and | board today predicated on vital sta- tistics regarding seventy per cent of the country’s population shows the deaths caused by heart disease num- bered 114,171, tuberculosis 101,396, and \pneumonia 98,334. Accidental deaths numbering 60,071 are ascribed chiefly to railroad and automobile ac- cidents. There were 10,162 suicides last year, the rate falling far below the average for the past ten years. Of 8,240 deaths caused by firearms, 386 were suicidal, 3,241 homicidal, and the rest accidental. 'FORMER STEWARD GIVES HIS ORDERS {And Ensign Vincent Takes Them Like a Good Soldier New York, Nov. 27.—Frieds of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Astor have found a new reason to applaud the devotion of | this young couple to their country, and incidentally are deriving no end of amusement from two occurrences Which have just come to their notice from across the Atlantic. It appears {that Mr. Astor, who is an ensign, is under orders constantly from the steward, who formerly obeyed his every direction and sought to antici- pate his desires. And Mrs. Astor, ac- cording to reports received by her friends, recently accepted with re- markable poise a situation resulting from her enthusiasm to do her part for the comfort of the seamen in Eu- ropean waters. It all happened at a seaport town somewhere in France, where she has established her headquarters in order to be near her husband. While he is away on patrol duty aboard the Noma, which he turned over to the United States, she is active behind a quick lunch counter which she has estab- lished for the men of all nations in war service who are on duty there or pass some of their shore leave in The Curran Dry Goods Co.

Ensign Astor and the Noma and all hands the port. put in there recently, quite by accident trooped up to uew lunch counter. As they noisily found seats Mrs. Astor's back was turned as she was filling an order to ‘‘draw one” for a poilu who had asked for coffee. For just an instant she turned around to lay the steaming coffee in front of the customer there was the nucleus of an unpleasant situation. The men were emazed to find their onetime mistress garbed as a waitress, but Mrs. Astor saved the day. Without.a trace of fluster she gave them a cheery greet- ing and inquired what they would have. Then she filled their orders end served them. Mrs. Astor’s example in France has inspired her relatives on this side of the water to extensive war work. To only a few has it become known that at the Locusts, the Staatsburg estate of Mr. and Mrs. Willlam B. Dinsmore, her uncle and aunt, everything has been subordinated to providing knit- ted comforts for the fighting men of the nation. It remained for a naval officer, Capt. David Allen, to learn just how prominent the activity of the Dinsmore family and servants in relief. Mr. Dinsmore is in the Naval Re- serve and was absent on duty when Capt. Allen went up the Hudson the other day to make tests of a vessel before accepting her for the govern- ment. He was obliged to remain up the river all night. Mrs. Dinsmore learned of it and invited him and some of the men with him to spend the evening at the Locusts. He re- ports that the entire estate i3 one vast r relief plant. The servants 1n their quarters tried to outdo mother and daughter. Bales of finished sweaters, caps, mittens and mufflers stacked in one corner of the drawing room were eloquent testimony of tha results to be obtained by the develop- ment of one idea. When Capt. Allen and his brother officers left the Locusts they were well supplied with useful souvenirs of their stay. KEEP ON KNITTING, Secrctaries Baker and Daniels Wan{ Women of Country to Assist.
