FURRED TONGUE NO PROOF
Why Il 10 Supposed to lndieate Di0es-
tive Disturbances Never Has
Been Explained.

lust why furred tongue is sup
posed to be an indication Of dis
turbance of the digestive apparatus
has never been explained. The Medi-
cal Record calls to mind "the respected
land feared) spinster in our commu-
nifty good many years ago who had
hef own opinion about DOCTORS. Urged
to consult one of their fraternity
when a little indisposed, she would re-
pei the suggestion with scorn. All
they do,' she would say, is to say,
Lets see your tongue. How's your
bowels? Two dollars, please.'''i
The editor says he has known physi-
clans Of the old school who could di-
agnose a case by looking at the
tongue, Just as he has known physt-
clan who could diagnose" q case
of pneumonia in child he had never
seen before when he got ten feet away
from the bed. And what is more. he
could tell which side it was on and
even designate the lobe affected in
some cases."
OF course this is sarcasm. The edi-
tor is ridiculing the furred tongue as
a symptom of trouble in the digestive
apparatus.

but they forget it does satisfy those
who believe the United States should
live up to the principles it has pro-
fessed for century and more.
National Honor.
In desperation for slogan our op-
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
Now national honor is not the whim
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite sem
timent, the composite reason of .
whole people feeling the emotions Of
nature and following the dictates Of
God.
And 1t is for this reason that the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution of the United
States, not on the Individual will of
president, but on the composite rea-
son, the representative decision of
the congress of the United States"
Some Preparedness Ideas.
The genius of this country is for
peace. There Is no danger Of mill
tarism.
We have built our greatness on the
resources Of nature and the peace
full toll of our people.
With us war has never been q
choice, 1t has always been a fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk of war SO high in the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull It down. But when some other
tribe among the races of men sends
us q bundle of arrows wrapped in
the skin Of a rattlesnake. we want to
be in a position to send that rattle
snakes skin back stuffed with powder
and with ball.
We deprecate the compulsion but
we recognize the need Of the police
man on the beat, the safe in the
bank and the watchdog on the farm.
The war across the seas has
brought home to us the fear that so
long as men are men and nations ma
tions, wars will continue.
For these reasons this administra-
ton has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration In
our history.
The Democratic party advocates and
seeks preparedness. but It is prepared
ness for defense, not preparedness
for aggression.
Our National Soul.
These, then, are the principles that
have been asserted and followed by
the president Of the United Sates
during the past two years-that. the
United States shall not embroil Il
self In European strife. that the Unit
ed States shall endeayor to maintain
friendly and cordial relations with ssy-
cry other nation and that the United
eeaess shan firmly apssrtz ana DGtA-

Demand The Union Label.

The man who belongs to union
and buys union goods in pre-
ference to uni isn't much of a
union man.
If the 1000, 600 organized work
ers would consistently demand un-
ion labeled products for the good
money they put out the present
number woulo soon reach 5, 900, 600
and no harm would be done.
Nothing helps moe than your
demand for the union label on the
products you buy. 1t helps you, it
helps the worker who makes the
goods you purchase, and it helps
the dealer into believing that an
ion labeled goods are in demand.
Neglect on the part of union
men to demand the union label on
the purchases they make lower

would close the departments on

miners threaten to quit work for

Reject Rockefeller Union. >

Trinidad, Col, Nov. "A The
Monthly Bulletin of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company pays Q
glowing tribute to the Rockefeller
union, /" whose record, it is stat
has been thoroughly gratifying
to all who have the interests of this
company and its employees at heart.
Editor O'Neil of the Trinidad
Free Press, is cynical, however,
and makes this comment:
No one would expect that a
publication financed by the Colora
ko Fuel and Iron company would
condemn the industrial plan for
mulated by the salaried cabinet Of
John D. Rockefeller jr.
The industrial plan establish
ed by Rockefeller is failure, and
the fact that the miners and other
employees employed in the plants Of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany, are. deserting the industrial
plan and becoming members of the
United Mine Workers of America,
proves that laboring men have dis
cerned the swindle that has been
palmed off as an institution that
will preserve the interests of the
economic master, while protecting
the interests OF the victim OF wage
slavery.
The Monthly Bulletin is en-
deavoring to bolster up farce,
but its effort to impose upon the
credulity of the working class will
be met with the building up of a
real union on the ruins of an in
dustrial plan, that died from the
ailments Of its own infamy.

IL said the present practice Of
railroads Of charging shippers 81 a
day for each day a car stands un

ing the largest railways to treat
fairly the smaller railways, which

less than 81 per diem FOR foreign

quire them to move freight with
some degree of promptness, the
