WASTAGE IN THE PRINTING TRADES IS ROUNDLY SCORED Hoover Committee Blames Over- Equipment For Heavy Losses And Urges Co-operation New York. —Tremendous wastage in the printing industry, which can be overcome by co-operative effort, is de scribed in a repoit recently issued by the committee on the elimination of waste in industry of the American En gineering council Over - equipment representing a capital outlay of hun dreds of millions of dollars is men tioned as an important factor in print ing losses. The committee, which was named by Herbert Hoover and previously had in vestigated various other industries, de clared that individual efforts to elim inate waste, have “proven impotent except for the individual pocketbook.” Individual industrialism is held a fail ure as applied to the printing indus try. Printing, the report says, represents a total investment of approximately a billion and a half dollars. These fig ures are based upon the inclusion of such dependent industries as printing machinery, ink, type founding and two thirds of the paper industry. The report referred to a survey con duct by the United Typotehtae of America, which estimated over equip ment at from 50 to 150 per cent. Strong competition everywhere and the ne cessity for prompt production were giv en as causes for this condition.

Calomel salivates! It’s mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug gish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, consti pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodr son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful, and if it doesn’t start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak ing you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you’ll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It’s harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.—Advertisement. Everybody knows what to do with the things he hasn’t got.
