A DELICATE CHILD
Made Strong Bv Cur Vinol

Fayetteville, N. c.-.'My little daugh-
ter was in poor health, delicate and
so weak it made us very uneasy. l
heard about Vinol and decided to try it
and the results were marvellous, her
appetite improved, she gained in weight,
and is now one of the healthiest children
in town. Mothers of delicate children
should try Mrs. GORDON JEssUP.
Vinol is a delicious cod liver and iron
tonic without oil, a constitutional rem
edy which creates an appetite, aids d.
gestion and makes pure healthy blood.
All children love to take it.

BREAKING FAITH WITH THE
PEOPLE.

If there has ever been any lingering
doubt as to President Wilson's atti-
tude toward the one-term plank of
the Baltimore platform, that doubt
was dispelled by his acceptance of the
Indiana ballot nominating him on the
Democratic ticket for 1916, and re-
solved itself into a certainty with the
publication recently of his letter of
February, 1918, to A. Mitchell Pal
mer.
"Our platform is not molasses to
catch flies, it means business. 1t
means what it says, were the words
of Mr.. Wilson spoken during his 1912
campaign. The Baltimore platform
declared for a single presidential
term, and favored the adoption of an
amendment to the Constitution max
ing the President ineligible for reel
ection. The plank concluded: land We
pledge the candidate of this onven
ton to this principle. On that plat
form Mr.. Wilson accepted his nominal
tion, and on it he was elected in No.
vember, 1912.
The Senate, on February 1, 1913,
adopted a joint resolution to amend
the Constitution so as to provide for
a single presidential term. In all
candor it may be stated that the reso-
luton was not very popular with the
Republicans who voted for it. 1t was
intended so far as they were concern
ed, to restrict, if possible, the future
activities of Mr.. Roosevelt. But a
great many of the Democratic Sena-
tors, relying on Mr.. Wilson's SINGER
ity, voted for the measure, and it then
went over to the House for action.
What Mr.. Wilson had privately con-
sidered a joke was in a fair way to be-
come a reality, so his chief spokesman
in the House, A. Mitchell Palmer,
was called into conference, which re-
suited in a letter from President
elect Wilson to Mr.. Palmer in which
he said, "put the present customary
limitation of two terms into the Con-
stitution, 49,. and give the Presi-
dent a chance to win the full service
by proving himself fit for it,. This
letter was laid before the committee
on the judiciary, which had the reso-
luton in charge, and the resolution
Immediately became a fit matter for
reference to the committee on the
disposition Of useless papers.
Thus it transpires that one month
before he took the oath of office as
President of the United States, Mr..
Wilson had broken faith with the peo-
pie who relied on the platform prom
ises, and was a party to the violation
of the one-term plank. He stood be-
fore the great American tribunal on
March 4, 1913, and took his inaugural
oath with u~nclean hands. With such
a beginning, by setting such ar ex-
ample to his followers, what is there
surprising in the fact that every last
plank in the Baltimore platform has
since been smashed into smither-
Gems? It was but the natural out
come of an Administration which had
it's birth in duplicity, and which will
die "unWept, %unhonored and unsung".

desire of my husbands beautiful model to make him fall in love with l her.
 It was in pursuance of this plan of hers that Lillian and her husband had come to us for a weeks stay. Heart sick as I was over Dicky's infatua- ton for his beautiful model, I was content to leave all the details of our plan in Mrs. Underwood's capable hands. But I could not help feeling curious over her evident desire to throw her own husband into Grace Draper's company. Was it possible that she was trying to make MT. Un- derWOOd counter-attract to Dicky, knowing, as she did, that the interest Harry Underwood would take in any woman would be most ephemeral?
 It was all too much for me I was glad to listen to Dicky, who was pro- testing dramatically to Mrs. Under Nood
 "What's the matter with you, Lil," he asked, "aren't you going to play?"
 "Yes, Lillian" I chimed in you must take a hand. Dicky has told me of your prowess on the courts.'
 Lillian | ldSll0O nlS Qu1Ck WdlH- ing glance. I knew she meant to re- mind me of the compact we had made in the morning when she arrived.

 she chose to give me, so I only smiled acquiescently as she turned to Dicky with a threatening air
 "Dicky-bird," she said, shaking her fist truculently at him, If you dare to hint at my leaving this chair this af- ! ternoon I shall have you hanged at the yardarm. I'm entirely too comfort able to move"
 | T wouldn't be as lazy as you are - began Dicky banteringly, when a [ well-aimed tennis ball in the hand of MT. Underwood hit him squarely or his opened mouth, and made him gasp

leaped at the knowledge. Of course I knew why.
 Dicky was absurdly proud of his skill in tennis. He was anxious to win both games and bet from his friend. Our games of the week before had shown that I was a far better nlayer than Miss Draper. Even through the joy of his wishing me as a partner came the miserable little thought-he wanted me because of my skill, not because he liked to have me near him.
 As Dicky busted himself with Miss Draper's racket, and walked with her to the other side of the court, Harry Underwood bent over me, effectually shielding me from his Wife's eyes.
 See here, what's this game of yours and LiFs, anyway? I know Lil's up to something, but I'm not quite hep.'
 There is no game" I returned, looking up at him as innocently as could.
 "Oh yes there is, and I'm going to be in on it or know the reason why. Take your choice. Tell your Uncle Dudley all about it, and I'll keep mum and help you out If you don't, I'll ind out anyway, and then I'll peach and spoil the game as sure as you're born"

nation wide spread of the plague to this situation. He believes the homes of the poorly paid poorly fed garment workers form the fountain head of the epidemic. After being returned to the factory. the clothing is sent to all parts of the country and MT. Bochman believes the bacilli have been spread by this traffic.
 In closing his talk MT. Bochman
 appealed for the abolition of living
 conditions that make this thing pos slble. If the garm ent workers re- ce1eVed living wages, he said, 1t would be impossible for disease to go stalk ing abroad clothing that any man,
 any woman or any child is wearing at this very minute.
 Such an impression did MT. Boch- man make on the members of the Central Labor Union that 1t was voted l to contribute to the relief of the
 New York garment workers, who are | now on strike. M. T. Kerwtn, James | McGrath and Thomas E. Lawlor were

Why Harry Said "Nhat's This Game
 of Yours and Iils AnyWay?''

"well, Harry. are you ready to be everlastingly licked ?" Dicky rose, stretched himself lazily and turned to Harry Underwood with a provoking grin.
 'Why! you ridiculous little shrimp,' jibed MT. Underwood, 'I'll wager you anything you like that I'll not let a game go to deuce this afternoon"
 "Done!" said Dicly I'll just put up a two case note on that. Here! Lil, hold the stakes" and he tossed a folded bill into Lillian's lap.
 Let me get this straight" Lillian said. 'I wouldn't take the oath of either Of you when the game is over. Does this bet mean singles or doubles ?''
 'Either or both," returned her hus- hand, "providing always I can have Mrs Graham as my partner" He put his hand on his heart and bowed to me with the little exaggerated air of blsrlesque which he Invariably uses in speaking to me, and which I find most annoying.
 ''That's not clubby," returned Lillian a bit acidly. Mrs. Graham may have something to say about choosing her own partner. Why don't Y nearest the net to be partners?'
 You see," demanded Harry Under wood, dram atically, turning to the rest of us, and spreading his hands wide you see what I'm up against ?'
 "She spills over telling what a free and foot-loose husband I am, and then when l show only a tiny prefer ence for the lady of my dreams he in, t0 Allow me to tell you, madam" he turns to his wife, that you are a jealous cat"
 His air of herOically-born suffering was so well done that we all roared with laughter.

 was a little puzzled myself by Lil- Hans attitude. Of course, I knew that Harry Underwood did not mean a word of the rigamarole he had just uttered but I realized that for some reason Lillian wished him, if possible, 10 have Grace Draper as a partner In the tennis games.
 "Too Comfortable to Move" I remembered that when she knew Miss Draper was expected she had wished particularly to have her hus- band in his tennis f7annels effectively decorating the landscape'' when the girl should arrive.
 , That Lillian had some scheme in the back of that clever brain of hers I was certain. She had discovered that Dicky was taking so much in terest in his model and protege, Grace Draper, that my peace of mind was threatened. With characteristic energy she had at once announced her intention of restoring Dicky to his 1 senses and of thwarting the evident

The Eternal Conflict.

Put yourself in his place. Was there ever Vexed question between two parties that could not be quickly set tied if each party were able to do just that?
 And in nothing is this more true than in the eternal conflict between employer and employee.
 I heard an office worker complain ing the other day because she had had to stay overtime several nights during a busy season. She thought her employer ought to pay her extra money.
 She Expects to Be Paid When She is
 Sick.
 And yet, this same woman was out for illness a week last winter, and she does not think it anything more than just that she should be paid for that week.
 On the other hand, I have heard an employer complain that his stenog- rapher did not like it when he gave her three or four letters after 5 o'clock. I happen to know that he has a habit of doing this two or three times a week. Would he like it if this same stenographer came in half an hour late two or three times a week?
 That's Gratitude" He Says Another business man of whom I know has been complaining bitterly because one of his buyers. a very clever woman, has left him for better money elsewhere. That's gratitude" |"
New Britain herald., 1916-08-02

he said. 'Why, 1 promoted that wo man, step by step from an errand girl until she was getting three thousand a year and then she leaves me for a. little more money. That's loyalty"
 It sounds bad, doesn't it, but here is the other side of the medal. The em- ployee is a very smart business wo- man. She earned every promotion and every dollar she got-and more too in all likelihood. She was earning
 three thousand when she left She
 was offered thousand more. Sup
 pose her employer had had an oppOr-
 tunity to get woman as clever as she for a thousand less than he was
 paying her. Would he have done it,
 or not?
 There is Room for Sentiment in Busi- ness.
 Sentiment in business is a splendid thing. It is that which makes en- ployees work overtime and over pace 1 to help out in time of stress. It is that | which makes employers pay their l faithful workers in times of sickness ! Or pension them in old age. 1 But sentim entality is quite another 1 thing, and there is no room for that ir 1 business or anywhere else. | Put yourself in his place. Turr l every question that comes up inside | out, and then give the other man { | square deal, both in the service yol render and in the judgment you make | of him. Isn't that a good rule fo,
 both employers and employees wht | want to be fair?
