STOP WATCH METHODS
CUT FROM ARMY BILL
La Toilette Leads Attack in Senate
on Efficiency System for Gov
ernment Arsenals.

Efficiency systems for government
arsenals and stop-watch methods were
read out Of the army bill after a spir-
tied debate yesterday, in which Sena-
tors La Toilette, MARITIME and CALM
ger figured.
Senator LaFollette opened the at
tack, opposing the amendment, which
would continue the payments of bon
uses to foremen and other government
employees working under the so-called
efficiency system. He denounced the
system as unjust to the average work
ing man, in that it placed a premium
on speed and not on thoroughness.
Senator MARITIME spoke in a similar
vein.
Senator Gallnger defended the
measure and declared that its opera
tion had pleased both the employees
and the government On a roll-call
the amendment was Overwhelmingly
defeated.

In the Treatment
Of tuberculosis

Remember that first aid to relief is
found in abundance of fresh air-day
and night-freedom from overexertion
and pure blood.
Attention to these matters should do
much to arrest the progress of the
malady, but in many cases there is
need for extra help. Where Nature, has
to work with weakened body her
power is lin nited.
Under sucn circumstances, try Eek
mans Alternative, which has been used
with large benefit by many sufferers.
In numerous cases 1t has helped to
bring about recovery. Also, it has been
successful in treating asthma and
bronchial troubles.
And since it contains no opiates, mar
cotics, or habit-forming, drugs, it's use
is not attended with danger.
