There is a strong movement taking shape in Washington and elsewhere to place tae United States Coast Guard permanently under the juris- diction of the navy rather than the Treasury Department, with which it is now connected. The proposed change finds favor among officers and men of the Coast Guard Service for many practical reasons. It is advocated also by officers of high rank in the navy as a measure making for greater ef. ficiency in time of war. There is one consideration. however. which has bred opposition to the contemplated amalgama. ton of the Coast Guard with

THE PUBLIC FORUM
ON FORUM WRITING few re

ON FORUM WRITING.-A few re-
marks pertaining to the method used
by Public Forum writer's! Remember,
when writing to The Forum, you'll
be read by Workingmep.
With few exceptions wOrkingmen
have at an early age been forced to
leave school, consequently the Eng
fish words at their command are linn
tied.
l like Mr.. Cochran's style of writ
ing; the common man as well as the
highbrOw can understand him. In
speaking of a weIl-known orator this
remark was made: ''He surely uses
good Judgment. He studies his aU
diences. In certain parts of the city
he talks Sheridan road, in others
Halsted street"
The experience of a well-meaning
and studious fellow unionist comes
to mind. Of this man it has been said
that he talks as if he had swallowed
a dictionary. No fault could be found
with the man, for he is a sincere, up
right union man. He was forced to
leave school at an early age and go
to work. He was one Of us, but diff
fered from the average wOrkingman,
for he always studied. When others
we're out having what they cOnsid-
cred was a good time he was trying
to solve the problem of lettering
himself and his fellow men by read
ing the works of great men.
If other men would only take
deeper interest in their welfare!
Study, get for yourself what your
parents were not able to get for you
an education. Don't stop there;
change conditions so that you may
give an education and better chance
to live to those depending on you.
Going back to my friend, the good
union man, he was one of us, but his
speeches went over their heads"
Do you get the point. There was
nothing wrong with his English, only

PAPERS AND IRELAND.-Have
you noticed how the trust press sided
with England as against the Irish in
the revolution in Ireland, a revolution
which had for it's end the reclama-
ton of Ireland for the Irish? Is it
rather too much for said press to ex-
pect that Americans, whose fathers
fought this same England for their
freedom and the right to govern
themselves, will side with England
now? It is really humiliating for an
American to realize what a hold Eng
land has on the trust press of Chi
cago. The editors of these papers
are trying to make their readers
think that it is burning shame that
ITishmen should fight for Ireland.
Isn't that rich?
The editors in question must have
a very poor opinion of the intelligence
of their readers if they expect them
to swallow this buncombe they
print. Morgan and other Wall street
money grabbers have subscribed
largely to the war loan of England
and are afraid if England is beaten in
the present war they will have a hard
time collecting. AS most of the loop
papers are puppets of Wall street the
editors must do as their masters say.
AS for Redmond, he has lived in Lon
don so long that he is practically an
Englishman. The trust press is to-

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day.
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack Of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the system better
able withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why

We thought not. Well, a vest is

concealer, a device for carrying
matches, pennies, tobacco coupons,

a watch.
Pickpockets only remove the
