 The workmen's insurance act is one more step achieved 2 in the great liberal forward movement which be. gan with the Old Age Pension Act. was continued by the budget of 1909. providing for the taxation of land in Great Britain and has since been fur thered by enactment of the law de- priving the House of Lords of it's pow CT to veto legislation thrice passed by the Commons, the peoples repre- sentatives.
 For the first time in, the history of Great Britain as a state, employer and worker. are now to operate to maintain and increase the efficiencv of the individual and of the nation The workmen's insurance act aims to make provision for keeping the house hold from poverty, keep the worker and his family from pauperism inethe dark days of sickness which come to every household in turn; and guard against a suffering from unemploy- ment for which the workman is not responsible
 It will help gthe mother at child birth and will inaugurate great ma. tional campaign against consumption.
 Instead of devoting our strength altogether to ' fighting our neighbors abroad we are organizing armamenrs to fight social evils at home
 ss.Although the act has been the sub ject of interruptions attacks and of deliberate misrepresentation. am convinced that it will be- hailed throughout the whole country as one of the most beneficient measures ever given to the people
 And now that the workmen's in- surance act will be in full operation, next Monday. we intend to put our hands to the great work of freeing the land, which was meant for the use sof the many but which has drift ed into the hands of the few. to the work of freeing it for the people and for their children forever.
 The Workmens insurance law was passed in parliament, last winter, af- ter a fierce fight in which Chancellor Lloyd George was opposed by mem bers even of his own party on the ground that. though such legislation. was proper in principle, many of the acts provisions were so nomenti6us that more time ought to be allowed for. consideration of enaclsnents of so revolutionary character.
 The hostile House of Lords, let the bill go through in the hope that the law would become so unpopular as tol bring about the liberals defeat at the next election
 Under the new laws terms, the Eng fish government, English employees and English employers practically will goI into partnership in a gigantic inSur- ance company. The proportion of ontributions varies according to thel wage and pay of the em- ployes but, generally speaking. the employe will be called upon to pay eight cents weekly for his insurance, the employer six cents and the govern ment four cents. Stamps representing the respective contributions will be affixed every pay day to a card is> sued to the employe and this card will become, in effect, the holders policy.

MED that they swtped any of the

The ex-governor is a strong supporter
of President Taft, and it is expected
that the linking of his name with that

The boom for Bates, according to pres

be made to give him the solid backing of
the Taft forces.
There is understood TO be considerable
opposition within the Taft lines to the

WAY TO GAIN FLESH

There is only one way for thin, weak
persons to gain flesh and strength and
that is to eat and digest more food
But that's just the trouble says one.
Il don't want to eat ut all and the doe
tors say it does more harm than good to
eat what | don't want
That is true. The thing to do is to get
an appetite and good digestion. Miss
Henrietta Huber of the Bronx, n. Y,
says on this subject: Il was very weak
and had been for several months. so /
thought | ought to take Vinol to gain
strength. Since taking Ninol / have
gained over Is pounds in weight and my
appetite is good. Now | am as strong
as ever.
This is a remarkable case, but there
are thousands of others, proving that our
delicious cod liver and iron remedy,
Ninol, is certain body builder and
strength creator. If you are weak and
thin, You should by an means give your
self the benefit OF Ninol, for it will build
you up and make you strong We guar.
antee it to do this. Red Cross Pharma-
