Tells President Wilson of Apphca-
ton of Eight-Hour Day And High
Pay in Factories.

Asbury Park, Oct. 24.-Henry
Ford, the automobile manufacturer,
who conferred with President Wilson
at Shadow Lawn this afternoon, au-
thorized this statement after leaving
the President: 81 had the pleasure
to inform President Wilson this aft
ernoon that l had established the
women workers of my plant at De-
troit and in the branch factories in
other cities upon . pay equality with
the men workers. 4 took this step
following my conference with the
President more than two weeks ago,
and l did so because of the inspiring
talk l had had with Mr.. Wilson on
the forward movement among wom-
enkind. This principal is now in
operation and l look forward with
complete confidence to its vindica-
tion."
Mr.. Ford pointed out that the g.
hour work-day already had been es-
tablished in his factories for both
men and women workers. He said
that 1900 women are now employed
by him for the lighter forms of fac
tory labor in his Detroit plant
These women since October 10 have
been receiving the minimum wage OF
SIS a day which created such SEN
sation in industrial quarters when
Mr.. Ford established it for his men
employees several months ago.
Mr.. Ford came here late today to
show the President advertisements
supporting the Wilson adminfstra-
tion which he plans to have publish
ed prior to the election. When he
stepped off the train and was asked
why he came to Shadow Lawn he
replied: ITO get on the Wilson band
wagon"

How to Reduce Weight

If you want to reduce, read the
confession of a fat woman in the
November Woman's Home Compan-
ion, who says:
Now, 1 shall, as simply as posi-
BILE, relate how l reduced from one
hundred and ninety-three and one
half pounds to one hundred and for
ty-fve pounds in less than six mon
tbs. Whether along scientific lines
or not, the overwhelming fact re-
mainsI am slender And this lis
what I did to- accomplish it:
.'To make it easier for myself at
first, I banished as many nonessen-
tial foods from my table as possible.
Until 1 had sure mental grip on
myself, l avoided temptation.
Conspicuous by their absence
were pastries, ice cream, preserves,
rich gravies and such foods. 1 dear
ly adored them, and they were,
admit, hard at first to abandon"

Help the Man Who Shows
He Deserves /

The November Woman's Home
Companion prints an editorial about
a man who wrote letter praisins q
young railroad man. 1t says:
"A busy New York man returned
last summer from his country home.
The station agent in that little coun-
try town had been particularly help
full to him, in caring for his trunks
and arranging for the comfort of
his family.
1.-The New York man was grateful
to the station agent. He told him so.s
He wondered, as he rode along, what
chance the young fellow had in that
country station. Would any officer Of
the road ever pass that way? Would
the lads willingness and efficiency
ever gain him a reward?
when he reached his Office he.
wrote letter to the president OF that
railroad. I want to congratulate
you on the young man who repre-
sents you at Smithton,' he said; he
is courteous and intelligent, and the
good will that he secures for yeur
road in that section is worth real
money to you. He is a young chap
worth watching
"a little thing it was. The cost was
only a few minutes of a stenograph-
er's time and two-cent stamp. Yet
that letter stood out like a diamond
on the presidents desk amid the
bundle of querulous complaints. 1t
frightened the day in that big office.
1t may have changed the whole ca
reer of the young chap in the coun-
try depot"

SIR JOSEPH BEECHAM DIES
Sale OF Pills Made Him Third Rich
est Man In England.

tLondon Cable Dispatch in New
York Times.)
Sir Joseph Beecham, the pill man
ufacturer, whose face and name are
familiar to the readers of more than
5000 newspapers in all parts of the
world, was found dead in bed in his
home in Hampstead. He was in his
sixty-ninth year.
By the sale of his pills the manu-
facturer rose from farmers boy to
become knight and a baronet and
the third richest man in England,
with fortune estimated at more
than $14O,00O,0O0. He accomplish
ed this by advertising, having been
for a generation or more considered
the greatest buyer of newspaper, bill
board and fencerail space in the
world. He advertised on every con-
tinent, including Greenland His own
picture, strong, reliable face with
side whiskers, usually accompanied
| the text recommending the pills
Beecham's methods of advertising
were often original and audacious
He delighted in the commotion when
his advertisements shocked commu-
mites and were denounced as vulgar.
The exploitation of his pills through
the medium of a hymnbook has be-
come historic. He circulated at low
prices number of hymnbooks just
before Christmas SO that when
number of congregations got up to
sing on Christmas they found the
following words before them:
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Beecham's pills are just the thing.
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
Two for man and one for child.
But" Mr.. Beecham once said,
my pills are taken by Dukes and
Lords, who conceal the fact from
their family doctors. 1 have positive
evidence of this. Medical men take
them on the quiet, too"
After he had become one of the
richest and probably the most wide
Unknown Englishman living, the pill
manufacturer made liberal use of
his money, contributing to large
philanthropies, backing popular eau
ses and buying the Aldwych Theatre
and other large amusement proper
ties. He was thrice Mayor of st.
Helens between 1899 and 1912. He
has been used again and again by
novelists, notably by Locke in "Sim-
pie Septimus." He was knighted by
the King in 1911 and made a baro-
net in 1914.

Chicago. Aug 5.-Raymond Rob-
ms, chairman of the Progressive con-
vention and candidate of the Illinois
Progressives for United States senator
in 1914, announced today that he
would support Charles Evans Hughes,
Republican nominee for president; de-
clared that it was manifest that the
Progressive party was dead, and as
serted that wise and sincere Pro-
gressives" should join with Republic
cans in the common struggle for S.
cial and industrial justice in city, state
and nation
dressed to the Progressives of the
country, Mr.. Robins said:
We Stand at Crossroads.
I'VE Progressives stand at the
crossroads. American social, indus
trial aid political life has broken
down under the old individu1listic
control. A new national mind and
conscience developing social unity, in
dustrial standardization. efficient po-
litical honesty; from a self controlled
democracy-this is the goal of our
generation in American life. believe
in the character and courage of the
nominee of the Republican party. He
is the most conspicuous example in
our history of the possibilities that
American politics may hold for success
in able and unselfish public service.
For myself 1 gladly enlist with the
the nation under the leadership of
Charles Evans Hughes"
THE supreme need in American po-
litical life is leadership supported by
a voting rank and file that will or
ganize and maintain an adequate So
cial industrial and military prepared
ness, together with a comprehensive
foreign polity," the statement said.

needs be worked out by a state rights

menace of shiftless incompetence,

"Comprehending our national neces-
sites, how can Progressives hesitate
long to choose between the party of
nationalism and the party of sectional
ism? Sh uld not wise and sincere

our common struggle for social and
Industrial justice in city, state and ma

continue to work together and bring
back a chastened Republican party to
its ancient faith in human rights and
national integrity
Reviewing the party history the
statement said:
I'm the 1914 and 1916 primaries the
Progressive voters of 1912 deliberately

Wilson Commends Railroads in
Guard Movement to Border.

The old question of tolls across the
Missouri river, on railroad trains. has
come up again, this time in Washing
ton where the st. Joseph & Grand
Island railroad has made application
to the secretary OF war for permissi On
to reconstruct its bridge across the
Missouri river near st. Joseph. Let
tiers have been written to Congressman
D. r. Anthony. jr.. by Attorney Gen
eral Brewster, the public utilities COM
mission and County Attorney c. w.
Reeder of Doniphan county. all pro-
testing against the railroad company's
being given permission to reconstruct
its bridge until a satisfactory adjust
ment of the tolls question can be
reached.
The bridge was originally built by Il
private company for use as a toll
bridge. At present it is the property
of the ST. Joseph & Grand Island and
is looked upon by Kansas officials as
part of the tracks of the company
and, as such, the company, the Of
ficials contend, should not be per-
mitted to charge toll for passengers
crossing this bridge any more than for
crossing any other bridge on its sys-
tenn.
Congressman Anthony has recon-
mended to the war department that no
permission be granted the railroad
company to reconstruct its bridge until
some satisfactory adjustment of the
tolls controversy is reached. He fur
ther has assured the Kansas officials
that he will do his utmost to insert a
provision in the measure for recon-
struction which will afford some relief
from the toll which the railroad COM
pany imposes on its passengers.
