CAN YOU ANSWER
THIS ARGUMENT?

NEW YORK, May 3l.-The employ
es OF Greene street cloak and suit
concern applied this year for va
cation of two weeks, with pay. They
were informed by their reasonably
melancholy faced boss that they could
not have it because of the war and
lax trade conditions. Later on they
held a meeting to protest and at the
close OF the day. when receiving their
pay they found the following time
analysis in their envelopes, accom-
panied by Il request that they con-
slider the contents over Sunday:
Dear Employees: We are quite
ready TO be fair regarding vacations.
but wish to call attention TO our con-
sideration for you in the matter of
daily service.
"To begin with, you sleep eight
hours day, which makes 122 days;
subtractcd from 500 days, that leaves |
but 2i3. You have eight hours of
recreation each day. which equals 122
days and leaves but l2l days in which
you can do any work. There are
Gfty-two Sundays on which you do
not work here and that leaves a bal.
ance of sixty-ninc days in the year
that you could possibly work for US.
Our place Is closed on Saturday
afternoons. which gives you fifty-two
half holidays or twenty-six full days,
and leaves but forty-thrce working
days. We allow you one hour day
for lunch, which in years time
equals sixteen days and leaves but
twenty-seycn days on which we de
mand any work for you in exchange
Tor Your very good incomes, If we
give you Il two weeks vacation that
will leave only thirteen working days.
There are twelve legal holidays on
which We close, so that would leave
but one working day. and inasmuch
rs we close always on Yom Kippur
you would not do any work at all.
Dear employees. please have q
heart"

The following is from the Reno (

PLANTATION of the road situation in this !
state:
THE State of Nevada recently en-
tered into partnership with the ma
tional government, the object Of the
association being to promote the

years of work, to build up and broad

PAY MAY BE ACCOUNTABLE

It would be interesting to
know just how much Of that
large Russian loan will find it's
way into the pockets Of the Rus
sian soldiers in the trenches.
We look with pride on the
magnificent personnel Of our
army, but we are too apt to for
get or overlook the fact than an
adequate wage goes long way
towards securing that personnel.
The difference between one
cent and one dollar a day may
account for considerable enthus-
lasm or it's absence.
We venture the assertion that
an American guarantee Of fifteen
or twenty dollars a month to
every Russian soldier who is will
ing to stand and fight would ma
terially change the morals Of the
Russian armies.
1t is worth trial at any rate.

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Untl
You Drink Water
Says q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US tit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of fncOm-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely elimina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptOmain-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood. y
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a. glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out Of
The thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation Of pOisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh. =
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliOusness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. { This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, awhile the bowel porest do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels.
