agreement was reached with the proyiso
that the legality Of the proposed clause,

in the matter Of the retention of the
workmen now in the employ of the

men. While nothing is specified in the
written agreement regarding them, yet

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

1t is Easy to Keep Well if We Know
How Some of the Conditions Neces-
sary to Perfect Health.
The importance OF maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it is
really simple matter if We take a cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food. The blood is employed to
carry nourishment to tn organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it..
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has such a record OF cures as Hood 8
Sarsaparilla and it is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds OF people
are alive and we'll today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparila. 1t is depended upon
as a family medicine by thousands.

THE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY

The island of Crete. toward which the
eyes Of the world are now turned with
an expectancy not unmixed with ankle
ty, has. since its conquest by the Turks
in 1869. presented a political aspect not
unlike that Of the island in which Amer
leans feel so intense an interest. Crete
Is essentially Greek in all that pertains
TO nationality. The mythology Of Greece
is the mythology Of Crete. Thirteen
hundred years before the Christian era
it is represented by the Greek poets and
historians as having been governed by
its own kings, among whom were sat
urn. Jupiter and Minos. Crete was first
conquered by the Romans under Metel-
lus. In 1923 A. D. it was conquered by
the Saracens, who founded the city OF
Gambia on the ruins Of Heraclea. After
that the Christians got hold Of ii, and
ii was a possession Of Venice when the
Turks undertook its conquest in 1645.
which they accomplished after a war
of twenty-four years, and Crete has
since been a Turkish province.
The Cretans never have been satisfied
with Turkish rule, and have repeatedly
risen in revolt At the Berlin congress
in 1873 the porte promised reforms
which he has never carried out.
The total population Of the island now
numbers about 100000, about 10000 of
whom are Turks. If Homer may be
credited, Crete once had ninety cities,
but there are now only three principal
towns-Candia, Retimo and Canea. The
population numbers less than half
what il was at the outbreak Of the
Greek revolution in 1921.
Notwithstanding the ado which the
so-called powers Of Europe are max
ing over the action Of Greece in succor-
ing the Christians Of Crete, who are
their own kindred and speak their own
language, it is not probable that any Of
them would, under similar circum-
stances, act differently For nigh upon
two thousand years Europe has been
internationally engaged in wars which
Hltdill dlllAOcL lAOeiAlllb lpi .NAAN NN~sA.'N "
humanity Blood has been poured like
water at the wnim of despots; each
creed, as 1t arose, had its advent signal
ized by a carnival Of death; there have
been wars of conquest and wars Of re-
preston, religious and political wars,
and wars for the pure pomp and cir
Sumstance of the art, but there has
probably been no war in which the
cause of humanity-that and nothing
eIse-was the point involved.
For years now, the so-called powers
Of Europe have been quiescent-not
dghting, though potentially able to do
each other more damage than ever be-
fore. Peace, in this case, is the victory
of diplomacy. Yet an insult to the dig
nifty of the kaiser might be assuaged
only by visiting the miseries Of war
upon half a. dozen nations.
But there are crimes greater than
that of war, and the powerful nations OF
Europe were never guilty Of a greater
crime than that involved in Their ofnis-
