WORKERS WORTHY
OF PEOPLES AID
Longshoremen Organize Club
and Struggle to Uplift Their
Conditions
Copyright. 1919. Star Company;

Copyright, 1915, Star Company:
The organization known as the In
. ternational Longshoremen's Associa-
Htion Is composed Of nearly thirty thou-
sand men. Their duties consist IN
handling all the shipping industries In
the port of New York. Upon their
faithfulness and labor depends the sue
cess of the foreign export trade. They
perform one of the most important
functions in the great city Of New
York.
Few people realize what is necessary
to carry on this trade, and fewer still
are interested in the workers.
At the present time there is Dig
strike. The International Longshore-
mems Association is asking for one
free day in the seven.
They work fourteen to sixteen hours
out of the twenty-four, and at present
they are allowed one day a month for
rest or recreation.
This is an outrageous injustice, and
every right-minded citizen in the city
should rise up in protest. Hours and
work like theirs make the lives of the
old slaves, back in the days before
the war, seem heavenly in comparison.
There is no possibility for men to
develop mentally or affectionally or re-
ligiously; no possibility for them to
be thinking and reasoning sons, hus-
bands or fathers, when they are tied
to the field of hard labor every day In
the week and every week in the month
with the exception of one paltry
twenty-four hours.
There is a young woman In New
York who has had much acquaintance
with this organization-her name is
Laura Ryan-and she has many in
teresting things to tell of the Long
shoremen's Association.
When their patriotism was tested a
few months ago they showed their 10y
atty by refusing to strike when such
action might have caused the Federal
Government embarrassment.
Would it not be well to help these
men who hold such high ideals to OBJ
tain the small boon for which they ask
that of one day of rest and freedom
during the week. These men are en-
deavoring to do uplifting work among
themselves. They have started a club
on West Twenty-third street, and they
want the interest and cooperation of
philanthropic people.
Imagine for the moment the courage
and the hope which must lie in the
hearts of these men, who in the face
of such long hours of fatiguing work
and with only one day in thirty to call
their own, yet undertaking the estab-
lishmeEt of club, and cherish ideals
of increasing their knowledge and
their powers of usefulness.
Their clubroom is at No. 564 West
Twenty-third street. No drink is al
lowed in the club, no gambling, and its
general tone is that of morality and
good fellowship. John (Smiley) Riley
is the president of the club, as well as
president of the district council.

GERMANY LAND OF MAKEsHIFTs
Need to Find Substitutes Has Inter-
esting Manifestations.

eSttng manifestations.
One of the most overworked words
in the German language at the pres
ent moment is ersatz. which from it's
fundamental meaning of "compensa-
tion," has come into general use IN
the sense of Substitute" Without
the ersatz, Germany would indeed be
in a sad plight. Not only does 1t come
into play in the fields of metallurgy
and textile manufacture, and in con-
nection with the food problem, but it
is to be found at every turn in the
smaller industries. Without her eX-
traordinary ability to improvise, Ger
many would have been long ago
smoked out by industrial starvation.
1t goes without saying that the Ger
man people are tremendously alive to
the significance of this whole substi-
tute tendency. So great is the public
interest that an exhibition of substi-
tute materials has been opened at the
Geological Gardens in Berlin. 1t is
held under the auspices of the office
of metal control, and it's promoters
are the advisory councils for the
brewery, white metal, tin and zinc al
loys industries, the Upper Sileslan
mining and iron works union, and the
associations of electrotechnists, iron
masters, engineers and machine
builders. At least eighty firms are
showing substitutes for the materials
used in normal times in the electro
technical, machine construction, mo-
tors, foundry and optical industries
and in the manufacture of fibrous
materials.
The exhibition is to remain open
during the war, and is being continu-
ally enlarged. All visitors are re-
qulred to sign declaration that they
will divulge nothing relating to the
goods exhibited, using the knowledge
gained only for the benefit of their
syn businesses

London, March THE Board of

that the cost of restoring public land

Yesterday. A man with a worried look

the way to the Father was by Him. He
had taught them this great truth. They
mad received Him, and therefore had
themselves come to the Father; and
this is all that is really necessary
the whole way is thus known, though
there may still be some geographical
questions yelled In mystery. All we
need to know IL God and His dear Son:
Tor Jesus declared, This is the life
eternal, that they might know thee, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
thou hast sent"
These disciples already knew the
way, and the truth, and the life-be-
cause they knew Jesus, who is ALL
the way to Father and heaven: the
truth of God and salvation, and heav-
en-; the life that is spiritual. holy, d.
vine, eternal. And knowing Christ,
they knew all--at least all that was
necessary for them to know in relation
to the great unseen and future.
Still there were those in tho COM
pany of the disciples who were moro
or less cropping and hesitant, and I'M
satisfied. Philip gave expression to
this fact; and he prayed for a revela-
ton OF the Father. Jesus was grieved
that His disciple had been such q dull
scholar-that notwithstanding the long
time that He had been with them, they
had yet failed to fully become ac-
quainted with the Father, which is
through acquaintanceship with Him
who came to make the Father known.
The Master again declared that the
Father dwelt in Him, and worked in
Him-that He and the Father were
Identified ever and in all things-affd
that to know Him meant to know the
Father.
The Master again assured His dis
ciples that believers in Him would
carry on His work after He had gone
to the Father. and even that they
would be able to do more than He had
done in the world; and this for the
very reason that He was to 20 to the
Father. Certainly the explanation Is
that when He had departed out of the

If BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat Also Take
Glass Of Salts Before
Eating Breakfast.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache. and feel like Jumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be real sick person shortly. At first
you feel dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice. combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
ations to clean clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to normal activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so
1t no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots Of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while It is only trouble.
