The Ukase issued by the Chicago
Board of Education in the first test
of strength and influence has failed
to force the teachers of the public
schools to tear up their cards of ap-
plication with their practical trade
union. The matter, of course, does
no end with the first round, but the
first blood in a battle is not without
it's good offices, and with the support
of the courts decision, which is as
follows:
"The court decided that the states
attorney of Cook county (Chicago)
had a right to join in the teachers
suits on behalf of the people against
the school board. The court also ruled
that if the pernicious school board
rule were enforced no teacher could
belong to any of the following organi-
zations The National Educational AS
ISOLATION, the Illinois Teachers Asso-
citation, the Chicago Teachers Asso-
citation, the American Federation OF
Labor, or the Chicago Federation of
Labor. This rule, the court declared,
is arbitrary, unreasonable, oppressive,
illegal, contrary to public policy and
void. 1t declared that the board OF
education cannot create a monopoly
by limiting the classes of citizens as
provided in this rule, which it may

ANENT THE TEACHERS UNION

The same argument is applicable to
the school teachers. The word pro-
fession has not gotten the teachers as
a body anywhere yet, while the teach
ers' trade union has some practical
results to show for it's term Of exist
ence, and the pity is that more of
them do not view the matter through
eyes of wisdom, instead of through
the spirit of sentiment.
We are living in a practical age in
these times, and practical things have
to do with the hard stubborn facts of
life and will carry us over them, while
the sentimental may carry us into the
middle of the bog, but there the en-
CINE goes dead, and sentiment won't
start the engine. 1t takes the prac-
teal mechanic to turn it over.
1t is to be hoped that the teachers
in Chicago will stick to their now we'll
started knitting and finish the stock
ing and hang it up as a model for
others to pattern after, and get prac-
teal and forget the sentimental per-
suasion of the politically-directed
school boards and superintendent. A
good practical trade union of the
teaching force in any city, town or
county will be a force for good, for
both the children, the teachers and
the community in which their services
are engaged.-The Tobacco Worker

NON-UNIONISTS A MENACE

To the nor-union workers, who are
eligible to join a union we commend
these words of The Bakers Journal
The worker who refuses or neglects
to join a union is the greatest menace
to the interest of his class.
He furnishes the would-be labor
crusher with his strongest argument:
That a majority of the workers are
outside the union and therefore the
union is not representative of the
workers.
He is helping fortify the selfish,
heartless system of dog-eat-dog
which thrives on unorganized, unem-
ployed and demoralized labor
He is practically striking at the
vitals of labors interests, because
without organization labor is help
less and every unorganized worker
helps retard the progress of the or
ganization
He is by his actions, which are al
ways more eloquent than words,
saying: Labor unions are unneces-
sary 1T is better for the workers to
remain outside of them. Employers
who are trying to destroy them are
doing a worthy work"
That's the kind of living argument
he is putting up against the very
thing that is doing more than any
thing else to make his lot as work
err easier and more advantageous.
Look at it this way: If all the
union members were to tear up their
cards and withdraw from the organi-
cations tomorrow what would be the
effect on all the workers-on labor
generally?
If all the union members should
become Indifferent to their obliga-
lions and professions and principles
and join the ranks of the Indifferent
outside the unions then what?
And then suppose again that each
union member should get it into his
head to become a shirker and say
with many non-unionists: 81 can get
along without the union. l do not
have to be member to enjoy its ben
efits. | can let others support the
union, save my dues, and still get the
good of it."
Noble sentiment, isn't it? But that's
Just what many non-unionists are say.

once director of the New York zoologi-
cal park;

next time you regale n good appe-
tte with bluepoints, terrapin stew,
filet of sole and saddle of mutton,
touched up here and there with the
high lights of rare old sherry, rich
claret and dry monopole, pause as the

this:
Here lie the charred remains Of
the farmers ally and friend poor
Bob White. In life he devoured l45
different kinds of bad insects and the
seeds Of 1919 noxious weeds. For the
smaller pests OF the farm he was the
most marvellous engine Of destruction
that God ever put together of flesh
and blood He was good. beautiful
and true; and his small life was
blameless. And here he lies dead,
snatched away from his field of labor
and destroyed, in order that ! may be

WOODS OF VARIOUS STRENGTH
Investigation Has Shown That Pres
ence or Absence of Tylose Makes
Great Difference.

The reason why one kind of wood
is more durable than another is owing
to the fact that one contains the sub
stance known as tylose in more gener-
Gus quantities. Tylose is the material
which fills the pores OF the wood and
cay. For instance, white oak is well
suited and much used for barrel slaves,
where barrels are to contain liquid,
while. on the other hand. red oak,
which is apparently of the same struc-
ture, is not at all suited for the pur-
pose.
A close examination of the white
oak reveals the presence of the tylose
which seals all the little pores of the
wood. Red oak has none of the ty-
lose. For this reason a fence post of
white oak will last much longer in
service than one of red Timber en-
gineers who inject creosote and other
substances into wood to retard decay
long ago made lists of species that
were hard to treat. and others which
were easy.
The preservative fluids, we are told,
penetrate certain woods to a consider
able depths when moderate pressure Is
applied while others are almost inn
pervious, no matter how great the
pressure Those hardest to penetrate
by preservative fluids are those best
supplied with tylose.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or II Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort Of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
bodys urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue Is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine 80 it no longer irri-
