NORWICH B A Great Responsibility. HE responsibility attachied to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children T is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has beem for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their responsibilities ? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. Could each mother see the pai ing care with which the prescription for Fletcher's Castoria is prepared : could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried ard true Fletcher’s Castoria.

Petrograd, July 24—How is Russia to induce its peasant farmers to part with their precious stocks of wheat? That is the question which is wrinkl- ing the brow of the Minister of Sup- ply, M. Peshekbonoff. Discussing the subject before the All-Russian Con- gress of Workmen’s and Soldiers Del- egates, he said: _“The greatest difficulty of the food situation just now is that the peas- ants refuse to give up their wheat. In the old days, wheat was to be had mn exchange for mon But now money is cheap, and there is little to be got for it. The peasant is there- fore, extremely unwilling to exchange his wheat for more money. The peas. ant population has lost its faith in money and stocks to the one thing which it has in its hands. _"“There are plenty of things which %2 peasant needs more than he needs his wheat, but unless you can make those things available to him in his markets you won't be able to get his wheat. The forcible seizure of wheat from many million peasants is im- possible. Yet something must be done to prevent starvation in our cit- ies. If starvation should come to Pe- trograd, no power on earth could pre- vent the collapse of whatever =zov- ernment happens to be in power. ‘The task before the ministry of supply, then, is to secure for the peas- ants supplies of manufactures and wares which they need. It is getting back to first principles of barter. The task will be difficult because of the lack of raw materials and the disor- ganization of industry. Meanwhile the peasants are hiding their wheat in caches so unsuitable that serious loss is certain to result.” Hope is the froth on a man’s im- agination.

Washington, July 24 —Postmaster- General Burleson today ordeyed an in- vestigation of Senator McCumber's charges that the.postmaster at Bow- man, N. D., was guilty of disloyal ut- terances. Mr. Burleson in a letter to Senator McCumber said no-report on such acts had been received by the postoffice de- partment. “However, in view of the charges,” wrote Mr. Burleson, “I have directed an immediate Investigation and such action as the facts may war- rant will be taken promptly. I have rot hesitated in any case of disleyal- tv o the part of postmasters or other employes of the postal service to take immediate action.” The postmaster-general the names and facts Mr. had in mind when he said ate: “There are no more and tueacherous people in the United States than some of their (the presi- dent's and postmaster-general’s) ap- pointments in my state.” Mr. Burleson said he would cause immedlate investigations and take such action in each case as the facts might warrant.

Bainbridge Colby of New York will become a member of the shipping board in place of Capt. John B. White, whose resig- nation the president accepted trday. Official announcement of the accepi- ance of the resignations of General Goethals and Mr. White was made with publication of a letter from President Wilson to Chairman Denman asking for his resiznation and giving the president’s opinion that the only way to end the row which has delaved the shipbuilding program was for both Goethals and Denman to be removed from the situation. Chairman Denman received the rresident’s request for his resignation £t noon and tendered it immediately. “I want to help the president in every possible way,” he said, “and never have questioned the wisdom of his decisions.” After his resignation had been ac- cepted Captain White said he had ad- vised all the other members of the board to’ resign and give the president 2 free hand for reorganization. No official announcement was made of the said there were prospects of other resignations. Edward Nash Hurley. Chicago, July 24—Edward sh Hurley, who was today _appointed chairman of the shipping board, w: born July 31, 1364, at Galesburg, Iil His first employment was as a railroad freman. His rise was from humble beginnings and was spectacular, due to some instrument which revolutionized steel construction. He failed to impress American financiers with the value of his - invention, but went to YLondon, where he interested English capital. Returning to Chicago, he opened a factory which he later sold. In De- cember, 1915, he was made chairman ¢f the federal trade commission, a po- sition which he held until a few months ago. Bainbridge Colby. Vew York, July 24 —Bainbridge Col- by, named by President Wilson in place of Capt. John B. White, who resigned from the shipping board several days ago, said here today that he expects to These sturdy, intelligent young men will have much to do with the proper expenditure of the 640,000,000 fighting aircraft fund provided by congress to “put out the eyes” of the German army. They are the members of the joint army and navy technical aircraft board. In the upper row, from left to right, are Captain Edgar S. Gorrell, intentions of other members, but it was | his invention of a pneumatic tool, ans #0 to Washington tomorrow, but that he had no statement to give out in re- gard to his appointment. Mr. Colby, who is a prominent lawyer, was active- ly identified with the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt for the presidential nomination in 1912, and was one of the founders of the progressive national party. He was candidate for governor of New York in the progressive state convention in 1912, and the progressive party nominee for United Siates sena- tor in 1914. In the last presidential campaign he actively supported Presi- dent Wilson. Other Members May Serve. Washington, July 24—Rear Admi- ral Washington L. Capps, chief con- structor of the navy, will succeed General Goethals as manager of the fleet corporation, taking immediate charge of the building programmo. The nominations of Mr. Hurley and Mr. Colby went to the senate this afternoon and were referred to the commerce committee. Their prompt confirmation was predicted by both democratic and republican leaders. It was reported tonizht that Theo- dore Brent, vice chairman of the board, who has been a strong sup- porter of Mr. Denman’s position, had offered to quit the board if the presi- dent thought it best, but at the White Fouse it aid_no communication had been r d from him. John A. Donald and R. B. Stevens, the other board members who have lined up with General Goethals, said they had no intention of resigning. President’s Method Surprise. The president’s method of ending the controversy came as a great sur- prise to most officials here, who had believed he would make a final ef- fort to compose the situation by di- viding definitely between the shipping board and the manager of its cor- poration the powers conferred on the cxecutive by congress. Mr. Wilson parently became convinced, how- ever, that Denman and Goethals never could work in harmony and that both were in a measure to be blamed for the delay to the ship- building programme. Denman Lacked Support. Virtually from the start of the trouble, it became known tonight, Mf. Denman did not have the full support of the board for his wooden ship plo- o — — — gramme. Mr. Donald and Mr. Stev ens consistently supported the gen- eral, but Mr. Bremt and Capta’ White stood with the chairman. A U. S. A.; Assistant Naval Construt- or Jerome C. Hunsacker, U. 8.
