Who Are Fatigued.
Josephine Goldman Discusses the Ten.
Hour Law-Great Changes Are
Taking Place.

Tremendous changes in the nations
Industrial life are taking place in the
midst of war. None is greater than
that caused by the Supreme court de-
cision holding valid the Oregon ten
hour law for men and it's minimum
wage law for women and girls, says
the New York Evening Sun.
Eleven states have been marking
time, half-heartedly enforcing their
minimum wage laws; in reality, hold
Ing them in allegiance pending the rul-
ing of the United States Supreme
court.
In New York state Senator Wagner
has introduced bill establishing the
minimum wage principle. In the Dis
trict of Columbia plans for the intro
duction in congress of a minimum
wage bill have been held up for year
In the hope Of favorable decision on
the Oregon statute. Similarly, legis-
lators in number of states have been
reluctant to present minimum wage
bills under the rendering of decision
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Arkansas, California, Oregon, Colo
RADIO, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Utah, Washington and
Wisconsin are the states that have the
minimum wage laws on their statute
records In California the authority
of the Industrial commission expired
and enforcement of the law was prac-
tically dropped pending the Oregon
case. In Minnesota it was imperative
because of an injunction.
Miss Josephine Goldmark, associated
in writing the briefs in the Oregon
case, said after the decision:
Gas to the ten-hour law for men.
such law is states most urgent
duty. In overwork America finds one
of it's most serious menaces to the
public health. People die young in
America. Workers wear out quickly.
The average length of life has been
increased, but fewer adults than ever
live to old age.
"The tired worker is a great prob
lem for society. The victim of fa-
tigue is menace to public health and
morals and to national integrity. He
takes to drink and drugs. America
in war needs to conserve it's vigor and
energy. The rested man can do more
work than the man who is fatigued."

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a HarmlesS Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calornel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take it's place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy' and
heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they 'perk up the spirits.

strength of this recalcitrant ability the

those at the front door cease their din
while he dictates peace terms.
The war master also has another
proposal to make, over the heads of
those at the door, to America. He
would say, if he can be heard, that the
conditions demanded by President Will

in the system where all fare alike and
the plum crop is blighted by decency
and justice.
The cleanest administration ever
known~in that city, if New York papers
of all political faiths save one, are to
be believed, has been turned down with
a crash by the voters. The pulpit
seemed unanimous for the defeated
government and just as earnestly de-
mandatory of the man elected.
~ was a II
q triumph of "Hearst. Hylan and Ho-

put it. The Hearst newspapers ramp
antIy supported Murphy's little lamb.
and we may now expect an era of
trumpet sounding from the Hearst ed

against ALL the others has saved
New York. from the decency and prog

Other New York papers could
not believe that Hylan would be elect

assured by astute politicians Of the
sure victory Of Tammany.
We need not refer to the amazing
certainty Of human hogs determfnedly

lust how leading Democratic news
