LABOR LEADERS TO
OPPOSE BIGGER ARMY
Gompers and Other Federation
Leaders Oppose Proposition
Urged by Wotherspoon.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. lS.--A firm
stand against increasing the defenses OF
this country was taken by the chief
Officers of the American Federation OF
Labor today. This action was provoked
by the report Of the retiring head Of
the United States army, General Woth-
erspoon, who counseled that the United
States army be increased TO a million
men, trained after the German style.
"I am emphatically and uncomprom-
isingly opposed to any scheme TO en-
large the United states army and
presfdent OF the federation. Il believe
that those who wish to abolish war
must lose no opportunity to impart the
ethics Of humanity and to make the
sacredness of human life a part OF the
thought and action of the nation
lanes Duncan Vehement.
James Duncan, first vice president OF
the federation. was equally as vehement
in his opposition to General wother-
spoons advice. Duncan said:
1T would prove 4 serious mistake to
continue TO improve the military estab-
lishment. We now see how constant
arming for war in Europe has precipi-
tated the greatest conflict Of all ages,
a catastrophe that will perhaps require
centuries to recover from. It stands to
reason that when a man loads himself
up with revolvers. dirks, and other
1Ttrderous instruments he is bound to
get inth trouble. 1t is just so with
nation"
James O'Connell. second vice presI-
dent. declared: IAN attempt is to be
made at the coming sess3Dn OF c
TO create a large army and navy. Mill
taTism is wrong, reacttonary, burden
scyne. and at variance with civilized So
ciety."
Merry At Banquet.
Committee reports and Jurisdiction
wrsngles were forgotten when the dele
gates last night held their annual ban
quet at the Hotel Walton. Six hundred
representatives of organized craft in
America sat at the tables and cheered
remarks by their leaders anent the
achievements Of labor and the future Of
the toiler President Gompers was
toastmaster. and Mayor Blankenburg
and members of his cabinet were the
invited honor guests. Remarks were in
formal and mostly reminiscent.

In an exhaustive report of feed sdul-
teration, DR.. Carleton Cutler. OF West
Lafayette, Ind, said that a farmer feed
ing 100 COWS might easily pay out $3.50
in the course of year for such worth
less stuff as ground corn cobc, cotton
seed hulls. and dried peat cleverly
mixed in with hoIniny feed, cottonseed
meal, or mixed feeds.
As more than 100 products enter into
the composition of the various kinds Of
mixed feeds. DR.. Cutler outlined sew
eral successful methods of detecting
adulterants in these foods and warned
his associates to be constantly on the
alert against INSCRIPTIONS dealers.
Heretofore the Department Of Agri-
culture has published the proceedings
of the association. but this year 1t has
other purposes and in consequence the
association is contemplating issuing a
quarterly journal which will contain
full account of it's activities.

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERES The REASON

The fact that there is less dyspepsia
and indigestion in this community than
there used to be is largely, we believe,
due TO the extensive use Of Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets, hundreds of packages Of
which we have sold. No wonder we
have fqith in them. No wonder we are
willing to offer them to you for trial
entirely at our risk.
Among other things, they contain
Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the greatest
digestive aids known to medical science.
They soOthe the infamed stomach, allay
pain, check heartburn and distress. help
to digest the food, and tend to quickly
restore the stomach to its natural, COM
Portable, healthy state.
There is no red tape about our guaran-
tee. 1t means just what it says. Wen
ask you no questions. Your word is
enough for US. If Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets don't restore your stomach to
health and make your digestion easy
and comfortable, we want you to come
back for your money. They are sold only
at the 1000 Rexall Stores, and in this
town only by US. Three sizes, 25 cents,
80 cents and SL00. Red Star Drug
