In Our* New Home
We have moved our stock of furniture
from the old stand to the Cunningham
building formerly occupied by W. P.
Evans & Son. We were compelled to move
from the old stand because the smaller
building would not hold the large line of
furniture that our continually increasing
patronage demanded. Here we have
3,860 square feet of floor space—more •
tha:» three times as much as we formerly
occupied. Our new home will enable us
to carry a much larger stock of house-
hold furnishings and will be able to display
it to much better advantage. Pay us a
visit in our new home.

Bethlehem’s Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy
To the American People:
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting to over $0,004,000
to a RriUsh bidder for 14 and 16 inch
projectiles for the Navy InacaiLto of vary
much lower prices ottered by the English
bidders
We know nothing of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub-
lic is entitled to know the facta upoa
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 4,200 14-inch shells at a
price of $1 ,Sk5,000. lip to now
not a single shell has been ac-
cepted by the Government, al-j
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, etc., on throe
orders $522,881, and we have not
received a SINGLE IMHIAK on
these contracts.
In addition.
• HtfraJ interpretation of
l might naaka in liable for
penalliee amounting to $678,016
the contract i
nallim
la the light of our experience, and hav-
ing no other basis, we bid for 16-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart-
ment actually awarded a 14-tnch shell
contract one year ago.

In Sweden the bread of the peo-
ple is for the most part hard, thin
ns a dinner plate and about the fiize
of one. It is baked without yeast,
nnd the water is practically all ex-
tracted in Die process of baking;
hence, relatively per pound of bread,
its cost is much higher in the com-
mon forms of bread as we know
them, containing one-half their
weight in water that has cost noth-
ing. Loaf bread and rolls in Swe-
den are a luxury.
LOCAL DRUGGIST
MAKES A STATEMENT
We always advise people who
have stomach or bowel trouble to
see a doctor. But to those who do
not wish to do this we will say:
try the mixture of simple buck-
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., known
as Adler-i-ka. This simple remedy
Is so powerful that JUST ONB
8POONFUL relieves sour stomach,
gas and constipation INSTANTLY.
People who try Adler-l-ka are sur-
prised at Its QUICK action. $

Quite an exciting game of
basket ball was played on the

twelve points in the last. We
see great improvements in our
team since the first of the season
and Fulbright is expecting to be
counted among the first at the

There’s na reason why a per-

vating calomel when 50 cent <

[ Liver Tone—-a perfect substi
I lute for calomel.
1' is a pleasant, vegetable
liquid which will start your
liver just as surely as calomel,
but it doesn't make you sick and
cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tone, be-
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel ii a dangerous drug
it is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty
calomel instead and you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated to
morrow. Don't lose a day’s work
Take a dose of Dodson’s Liver
Tone today and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bil
iousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue
or sour stomach. Your druggist
say sif ypu don't find Dodson's
Liver Tone acts better than
horrible calomt I your money is
waiting foi you.—Adv. 3
