GARY STATEMENT
 HIGHLY PLEASING Refusal to Reduce Wages Is Given Very optimistic
 Interpretation

The announcement by Judge Ebert Il. Gary of the Steel corporation that no wages would be cut in the ranks of the Steel corporation was received here with deep interest yesterday.
 In some quarters the most optimistic interpretation of the statement was to the effect that the declination of the Steel corporation to reduce wages in- dicated that the officials held hirh hopes as to the future and did not want to disturb the organization and the wage scales during 8 temporary lull. The scale paid by the Steel corpora tion is probably the highest of any industrial organization in this country.

Give That Puny Child This
Guaranteed Remedy.

II your child is under weight, listiess
ailing, liable to get sick easily. il needs
a medicine to build its weight and
strength. For this purpose there is
nothing else we know of that we can
so strongly endorse as ReXall Olive Oil
Emulsion. The remarkable success OF
this splendid medicine is due to the fact
that it contains ingredients that tone
the nerves, enrich the blood and
furnish TO the entire system the strength
it needs. And, it does all this without
iniuring the stomach. In fact, ReXall
Olive Oil Emulsion is not only pleasant
to take, but even the most sensitive
stomach is benefited by it, and the
digestion improved. On hte other hand
il contains no alcohol or habit-forming
drugs, which most parents object to
giving their children. II does its good
work by taking hold OF the weakness
and builds the body up to its natural
strength, at the same time making il
strong to resist disease.
II ReXall Olive Oil Emulsion doesn't
build your child up, feed the stunted,
puuy muscles, and make the little one
lively, strong, well, and full of the
animal spirits children are meant by
nature to have, come back and tell us
and get your money back We don't
want you to lose a cent. We think this
is no more than fair, and it leaves you
no cause to hesitate. For old people
also-for convalescents-for all who
are nervous, tired-out, rundown, no
matter what the cause-we offer Rexall
Olive Oil Emulsion with the same
guarantee of entire satisfaction or

THE WILL TO LIVE
HELPS THE DOCTOR

1t has always been known to physi-
clans and uses that grit and courage
on the part of their sick and injured
patients were possessions as desirable
as any other favorable and helpful con-
ditions. In recent reference to this
necessary service that can be rendered
by the mind towards the restoration of
the body the New York Herald comes
to the conclusion that the will plays a
more important part with reference to
life and death than the ordinary OBJ
server has ever realized. A series of

each other of persons who were nearly
related, the first Of which were those

any reason one who is III gives up hope
of being cured or fears that life may
not be worth living, the outlook of the
case is always serious. hyi.c ans are

even in minor ills.
1t is truer among the. old than the
y ing that the will to live is an i'm
portant element for recovery from SER
ioIs illness, but at all ages this repre-
s,nts a much more important factor
tan is often thought. The will to get
well strenuously exercised would save
many sufferer from prolonged symp-
toms that are very difficult to bear and
make life almost impossible. The les
son thus taught is precious one much
needed in our time.

FOLK SONGS.

Work has been begun by the United
States bureau of education which has
for its object the collecting of the folk
songs that were current in the early
days of the country and which were
brought over from the old country by
the early settlers. Many of these songs
have been forgotten and unless they
are collected and preserved in the ma
tional archives they will be forever lost
to the coming generations. There was
a strength and beauty in these songs
that is truly inspiring and they show
character of the people who founded
the new nation and builded the super
structure. The study of the songs of a
nation is interesting, especially when
the different periods are considered
and compared. Great songs have been
written in this country at different
times, many of which have been all but
forgotten by the present generation.
These old songs were far superior to
those that are in use at the present
time, because they were written with
purpose and came from the heart of
the writer. The songs of the present
will not live because they are merely
written for revenue and have no en-
during theme. Too much attention is
paid to the songs of the present and too
little to those Of the past which inspired
generations to better and nobler things.
The commercializing of the song has
worked to the detriment of American
muaic and in the course of time there
will be revival of the old time songs
and ballads. This change has been
forseen by the bureau of education and
their efforts to collect the songs that
were instrumental in inspiring the
people of the early days in their
struggles in contending with the hard
ships of the new country in move in
the right direction which will be appre-
ciated in the future when the rag time
era has passed and real music comes to
be truly appreciated. The singer and
song writer have always been a factor
in building nations and it is to be re-
GREETED when commercialism retards
the progress of real music and discour-
ages the writing of songs that are really
worth while and have the true ele-
ments of the national life. The tine
has already come when the real songs
must be sorted out from the popular
rubbish and kept in form that will
not allow them to be forgotten in the
mad rush of the world as it is hurrying
toward the more sordid and material
things.
