CONDITIONS STILL ABNORMAL IN
THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS.
During tin- war c were all affected Iry the unusual prices
ami often ly the careity of the j;mk!s we needed.
As ue all know, in the 'year and a half the war lasted,
prices rose rapidly and are still very high.
And while prices kept going up, because of war condi
tions it Kcanie more and more difficult to obtain materials
and capable employees.
The telephone companies. like most other industries, were
hit hard by increased excuses and by the scarcity of labor
ami equipment.
And tilings are not yet back on a normal basis ami
probably will not be for some time.
W hile we hope it will nut be long before all our former
employees are out of the army and on the job again: and we
expect s Mn to be able to get promptly all the equipment we
need
Still, the high price of materials and the generally high
operating expenses ;ire problems that we shall no doubt have
to meet for several years.

There are millions of persons in
the United States and Canada who
absolutely need a remedy which
cleans the intestines and helps di
gestion. Triner's American Elixir
of Bitter Wine is a legitimate medi-,
cine for this purpose, its ingredients;
(bitter barks, herbs and roots) be
longing to the best known to med
ical science. It is significant that
Triner's American Elixir was the
first stomachal patent medicine that
was approved by the U. S. Internal
Revenue Department in Washington
as conforming in all respects to tii
prohibition laws. I his remedy nev
er must be confounded with "camou

clean the stomach, it is not potabb
