Commission thus practically has

not only prevents strikes or lockouts
during the time of the award, but
prevents recourse to such measures
when made for the purpose of escap-

called for similar purpose. There is
no compulsion upon any working mar
to join union, but if he does join he
may not leave it only upon three

Courts is that where the ordinary Gus

the employer is obliged to grant tt

GUARD WELL YOUR TEETH

There is no more important or
necessary requisite in the safeguard
ing of the health than the proper care
of the teeth. To decayed teeth and
foul mouth is directly traceable a
surprisingly large amount Of the hu-
man ailments. Defective teeth alone
is the common cause for the rejection
of over 80 per cent Of the applicants
for army and navy service. A noted
Investigator has said that rs per cent
of all diseases of the body enter the
system through the mouth.
Why, then, should you neglect to
make that necessary, essential visit
to the dentist? Dentistry has been
so perfected that but little pain, if
any, is felt when the teeth are being
repaired by the expert in that line.
It is not only the appearance of the
mouth that is concerned in the care of
the teeth, but the general health as
well. The constant swallowing of the
saliva, which is so necessary to the
stomach, when polluted by passing
over decayed teeth, instead of per-
forming its necessary function, acts
as a poisonous agent.
Discoveries in the dental world and
constant work has accomplished so
much that the extracting of teeth
should now be the last thing resorted
to. The faultiest condition of the
teeth, thanks to the improved meth
DDS of dentistry, can now usually be
corrected without removing such
teeth, which might formerly have
been considered utterly hopeless.
The present approved method OF
treatment of teeth, and consequent
care of the mouth, is to keep the
teeth in a perfect sanitary condition.
and in case of decay, to have such
cavity properly filled. Should the
crown be practically destroyed, then
the root can possibly be saved and
crowned, which would, generally
speaking, be the proper course to pur'
sue. Extracting teeth, as rule
should not be thought of, except as g
last resort.
Neither is it wise idea to put off
dental work until you are driven there
by aching teeth. Perfect health ii
impossible while your teeth anC
mouth are not in good condition. DR.
r. E. Walsh, whose dental practice
has been so sue rgsful since he lOcat
ed here almost a year ago, has th'
equipment, as we'll as the willingness
to tell you just what will be for you
own best good, in the way of teetl
repair and mouth treatment. He i
also honest enough to be perfect,
frank with you. Whether your teetl
are troubling or not, the chances ar
that little immediate attention woul
go far toward relieving you Of futur
pain, trouble and expense. While Dl
Walsh is thoroughly equipped for an
treatment your mouth may need, yo
can rest assured that he will be suffi
GENTLY honest to correctly advise yo
in regard to what would be for you
best good in all mouth and teet
trouble. (advt.

RESISTANCE TO DISEASE

Debility is a loss of vitality, not
affecting any one part of the body par
ticularly but the system generally. 1t
is dangerous because it reduces the
body's resistance to disease.
When debility follows acute diseases,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An at
tack of the grip often results in debility
that persists for months. Everybody
recognizes that the remedy for debility
is to build up the blood because the
blood goes to every part of the body and
an improvement in its condition is
quickly felt throughout the system.
The problem in every case is to find
something that will enrich the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills suit most
peoples need because they are non-al-
coholic and they really build up the
blood and strengthen the nerves. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are useful for grow
ing children and for men and women
whose nervous energy has been over
drawn. Try them whenever your blood
is thin.
Your druggist sells DR.. Williams
Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail,

COMPENSATION
DECISIONS GIVEN
Board Makes Some Rulings on
Liability During the Lunch
Hour, Etc.

Decisions regarding obligations in
cases of accidents during lunch hours,
disease contracted through germ in
lection following violence to body dur
ing employment and other cases aris-
ing in Philadelphia industries have
been made by the State Compensation
Board In the claim for compensa-
ton through alleged germ infection
following a bruise 1t was discovered
that an employe had anthrax, but
there was no evidence of any bruise
or cut and the claim was disallowed
In the lunch hour cases 1t was held
by the board in one that where an
employe not actually engaged in the
furtherance of employers business
it must be shown that injury was due
either to condition of premises or
conduct of employers business and in
another that compensation could not
be allowed where employe was not
required. to be on premises. 1t has
also been held that an employe is
not entitled to compensation for an
injury which is slow in development,
such as paralysis due to long inhala-
ton of acid fumes. Such injury is
an occupational disease.
1t was held in another case that a
person engaged by number of diff
ferent employers to scrape walls
prior to paper hanging is performing
part of regular business of an en-
ployer in course of such work and is
not an independent contractor. The
fact that he was paid by the piece and
that he supplied his own tools does
not affect his status.
