PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Unfinished business is the chief
topic of President Wilson's message.
Congress adjourned before the cleo
tions with many problems unsolved.
Phases of the Adamson eight-hour
bill come back to haunt the members
and are reminders of the disgraceful
way in which the legislation was
jammed through at the eleventh hour.
President Wilson admits that
freight rates must be increased, If
the eight-hour legislation is to become
effective in the operation of railroad.
1t means more crews, a larger pay
roll and general revamping of oper.
ating methods. 49,. -
With the campaign behind instead
of confronting him, President Wilson
approaches the wage situation on
different plane. He puts it up to Con-
gress. There are no emphatic de-
mands. because the chief executive
knows he is addressing body, a
large number of which will retire to
private life next March.
President Wilson reiterates his rev.
ommendation of an eight-hour day as
the legal basis alike of work and
wages in the employment Of all rail
way employees. He wisely shifts the.
burden Of working out, a feasible plan
to the interstate commerce commits
sion. re- egg Y Y
This will entail a thorough admins
tratiye reorganization Of the commits
sion. *
Few can doubt the wisdom of ask.
ing Congress to give the federal gov
eminent power to take over the rail.
roads when military necessity de-
mands. ....
Some might wish that President
Wilson had urged compulsory arbitra-
ton of labor disputes; compulsion as
binding on capital as labor. Arb;tra.
ton is urged, it is true, but the chief
executive is general, not specific, in
his recommendations. But the mes
sage is explicit enough to spur Con-
gress to some action that will make
II impossible for strikes and lockouts
to paralyze the industrial organization
Of the nation.
The President closes his message
with an appeal to clear away all legal
obstacles toward the development Of
our export trade. 1t is proposed to
permit combinations and to stimulate
concerted action to build up foreign
trade, which is hardly possible under
the present federal laws.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING,

Don't lose sight of the difference be-
tween universal military service and
universal military training!
Whatever you may think of the pro-
posal that all citizens be required to
defend this country when necessary,
you can find no legitimate excuse for
opposition to the training of young
men and boys in the manual of arms,
in riflecraft and erect bearing, to the
end that If called upon they can de-
fend themselves and their future fam
lilies both in peace and in civil life.
Military training does not make a
man militarist, any more than an
ability to defend himself with his fists
turns him into pugilist.
Universal training will give the
United States finer body of young
manhood than it now possesses.
Incidentally. it will raise the moral
standard of the nation.
Square-shouldered fellows who know
woodcraft and are physically fit do
not loll in front of poolrooms. with
cigarettes dropping from their lips, to
leer at girls and insult women as they
pass. ..
The man with democratic mill
tary training, such as Switzerland
gives its citizens, looks the world in
the eye and knows no man as mas.
ter.
Far from promoting subserviency
in men, training such as is given at
Plattsburg and other civilian training
camps increases their efficiency
makes them independent and able to
care for themselves, improves their
health and impresses them with the
value Of concerted action.
Military trainhg - not a mask fol

Backache

(By l.. II. Smith, M. d.
In spite of the best care one takes
Of oneself, any part Of the human ma
chine is liable to become out of or
der. The most important organs are
the stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separat-
ing the poisons from the blood. Their
signals of distress are easily recog-
nized and include such symptoms as
backache, depressions, drowsiness, ir-
ritability. headaches, dizziness, rheu-
matte twinges. dropsy, govt.
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and OBJ
tain a small amount of Anuric, which
is dispensed by almost every drug
gist. Anuric is inexpensive and
should be taken before meals. 1t is
much more potent than lithia and
many find that Anuric dissolves uric
acid as water does sugar.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, Just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa.
sionally. The kidneys are an elimina.
tive organ and are constantly work.
ing, separating the poisons from the
blood. Under this continual and per.
petual action they are apt to congest,
and then trouble starts. Uric acid
backs up into the system, causing
rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy and
many other serious disturbances. II
means that you are victim to uric
acid poisoning. Then ask your drug
gist for Anuric, which was first dis.
covered by DR.. Pierce of the Surgical
Institute in Buffalo, and which is dis
pensed by nearly every druggist in
the land.

unnecessary postponement Of action
upon them.
Not only does the interstate com.
