Raymond Robins Testifies to the Worth

In the course of an address delivered
by Raymond Robins during the men
and religion campaign in Des Moines
great interest was aroused among
members of the labor unions by some
clear cut remarks delivered straight
from the shoulder. AT the age of

AS so many misleading statements
have been published concerning the
men and religion movement, the union
members who listened to Mr. Robins
were greatly surprised at what he said

LABoR's RIGHT.

The labor movement of today
is the legitimate heir of the
/ struggle of ages against wrong,
1 against injury, against tyranny
and for justice right and free
! dom. Organized labor Is the
best expression of discomfort
/ and the best machinery with
which to make that expression
| felt with the largest amount of
permanent good and the least
injury to any one. You cannot
make an omelet without break
ing some eggs. No move can
bring great benefit to the masses
without bringing some injury to
the few.
In everything except labor
none questions the right of the
man who has something to sell
; to set the price. The working
man has his labor to sell. and
; the union would enable him to
set the price on his labor The
employer wants to set the price.
. and we are urged to exercise the
grace of submission and trust to
the hope and assurance of re-
ward in the sweet by and by.
; We are not going to surrender
any of our hope of reward In
the sweet by and by. but we
want to get used to a good time

QUEER DISEASE: IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
AiIment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWsOME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT.

Many people in the United States are
afflicted with a queer disease, according
70 a statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather greWsome
statement:
MANY persons who come and write to
ny headquarters at SD and Jefferson
s5f Thq qran Phi thin they are
when in reality they are the victims OF
an entirely different disease-that Of
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
upper bowel and consume large per-
centage of the nutrirnent in undigested
food. They sometimes grow to a length
Of forty ito sixty feet. One may have a
tape worm for years and never know
the cause of his or her Ill health
Persons who are suffering from one
of these creatures become nervous, weak
and irritable, and tire at the least ex-
ertion. The. tape worms rob one of am
bition and vitality and strength, but they
are rarely fatal
The victim Of this disease is apt to
without relief. This is not the fault Of
the physicians he consults, for there is
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
lively that one Is not victim Of tape
worm.
1.-THE most common symptom OF this
trouble IS an abnormal appetite. At
and the is
times the very sight Of food is loathso1ne
There is a gnawing, faint sensation at
the pit of the stomach, and the victim
has headaches, fits of dizziness and nau-
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he is suffering from nervous pros
tration.
81 have treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of its regular action In aiding
digestion, and Kidding the blood, kidneys
and liver of impurities 1t has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has tape
worm, this treatment will, in nine cases
out Of ten, stupefy and pass 1t away, but
If not. the treatment will rebuild the
rundown person, who is probably suffer-
ing from stomach trouble and general
anaemc condition. My doctors report
marvellous success here with this treat
ment. Fully a dozen persons have passed
these worms, but they are naturally rett-
cent about discussing them, and Of course
we cannot violate their confidence by CIV
ing their names to the public"
Letters addressed to Professor James
M. Munyon, SD and Jefferson Streets,
Philadelphia, Pa, will receive as carefal
attention as though the patient called in
person. Medical advice and consultation
absolutely free. Not a penny to pay.

To Be a Good Cook.

"To be a good cook means the
knowledge Of all fruits, herbs, balms
and spices; and of all that is healing
and sweet in fields and groves, savory
in meats; it means carefulness, in
ventiveness, watchfulness, willingness
and readiness of appliance; it means
the economy Of your great-grandmoth-
ers and the science Of modern chem
lists; 1t means much testing and no
wasting; it means English thorough
ness, French art and Arabian hospi-
tally, it means, in fine, that you are
to be perfectly and always ladies'
(loaf-givers), and you are to see that
everybody has something nice to

He HAD THEM IN A CORNER
Clergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcerting.

A Well-known clergyman was one
day, in BARRIERS shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair, With
lather all over his face. They pro-
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, Clearly shaved.
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber called
several times" Next gentleman! Next
gentleman"
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
sIt isn't bit OF use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effront-
cry to answer to that name"

BEST TIME TO sow ALFALFA
When Done in Spring There Is Danr
ger of Weeds CroWding 1t Out
Before Well Established.
.(By G. H. ALFORD.)


The best time to sow alfalfa in the
larger part Of the south is in the fall,
say September. The main danger Of
sowing alfalfa in the spring is that
in some sections Of crab grass and
weeds crowding out the alfalfa before
1t becomes we'll established.
The land should be very rich,
thoroughly pulyerized for several
inches deep, and well drained. Plow
the land from 80 to 60 days before
planting time. Allow the land to set
tie and then make a good seed bed
with such implements as disk har-
rows, section steel harrows Or other
pulverizing tools.
Sow@about 80 pounds of seed per
acre and cover lightly. The main
object is to get very thick stand.
The alfalfa may be moved several
times during the fall and winter to
make 1t stool out. 1t Is necessary
to have a solid mat on the soil in the
spring before the weeds and grass
come up.
Burr clover should also be sown in
September. This clover will do well
on nearly any rich, we'll drained land.
The land should be well prepared and
then seeded at the rate Of Is pounds
per acre. Clean seed are preferable
to seed In the burr.
While alfalfa has never succeeded
on other than lime land, burr clover

all the rich, well drained land in the
south. 1t is generally necessary to
iroculate new soil. However, inocula-
ton is not expensive and burr clover

SELECT THE RIGHT OFFICER
Some Little Things Members Must
Realize Before Enterprises De-
veIop Strength They Should.

TO the Officers and Members OF the
Farmers Union:
A week or SO ago emphasized that
tt .-a...a great sphere Of Development
within the Farmers union would be IN
the direction of Strengthening enter
pr;ses, and Of persuading the average
farm use business methods, and to
cooperate In distributing and buy
ing, az well as producing and selling
agencies.
That era is upon us. To prepare
for it, we must recognize few funda-
mental facts. If we do not, It will be
case of waiting several years until
the splendid machinery builtup by this
organization is available to bring. the
best results for its individual and col
iectiye members.
Get the proper officers! Don't Judge
the right man by his handshake, the
fact that he will say mean things about
the people you dislike, or by his abil-
ity to put feeling on you, like at a
revival meeting. Choose him for his
fitness for the special job, and try to
find out If he has ever demonstrated it
before Once you get him in, stick
to him, so long as he does well, until
doom cracks Give him a chance, even
If he does make a few minor mis-
takes, or does few things you don't
like. The probability is, you would
do twice as bad in his shoes.
If the thing falls through-go at 1t
again! Try hard enough, and you can
easily number the private enterprises
that ave failed. But that didn't deter
the men who made the failures, or 9TH
or men, from starting over again. If
your manager, or leader, proves crook
ed-turn him out and get another!
Don't cut off your nose TO spite your
face, just because Of one or more
scoundrels in the world.
Judas betrayed Christ, but today the
Christian religion Is conquering the
world.
Benedict Arnold sold out to the Brit
ish, but George Washington and the
cause of freedom triumphed.
There is no use on earth to start
an enterprise, with a burst Of enthusi-
asm, then fail to patronize it, or hold
Its officers to strict accounting.
You'd better not begin enterprises
Of any nature, unless you're prepared
to stick to them, to tide them over the
rough places that come to every bust-
ness and all men, and to cleave to
them, as man promises to cleave to
his wife, "for better or worse"
These are few of the principles
that get down to the root of things.
Since we are to develop into a great
business organization, we might as
well begin learning them by heart,
without waiting TO have them pounded
Into us by bitter and costly expert
ence.
