P0STMAN'S JOB WAS NO SNAP
Round Trip Between Chicago and
Green Bay Wis, In Early Days
Took Carrier a Month.

A century or so ago, when Wiscon.
sin was the home of the Indian and the
fur trader, but few letters we're writ
ten or delivered. When the officers at
Fort Howard or Fort Crawford wanted
to forward their mail to the outside
world, they dubbed together and paid
a carrier to the nearest post Office,
which was Chicago for the former and
Galena for the latter place. Even
after a government post office was es-
tablished at Green Bay, the contractor
had to hire a woodsman during the
winter season to carry the mail upon
his back over the frozen trails to and
from Chicago.

HOW TO SAVE A BILLION A YEAR.
Cooperation Between Waee-Earner
and Wage-Payer VIII Save
an Enormous Loss,

There is IN estimated waste OF a
billion dollars annually in industry in
the United States, due to labor trou-
bles. This billion dollars could better
be employed to the advantage of both
the man who hires and the man who
Is hired. Capital can gain no advan-
tage by fighting labor, and labor can
gain no advantage fighting capital.

full for, there is coupled with this

who renew the pledges of fealty as

will back them in their noble work

Inactive Kidneys
Cause Disease

I shsil not soon forget the benefits | derived
rom the use Of Foley Kidney Pill. Al A.
Sodfrey, Forest Grove. Oregon.
Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons. past middle age. Proper
action of the kidneys Is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poisonous
waste matter which If permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, rundown men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
joints and fail to realize that rheuma-
tism, diabetes or even Bright's disc
sase may result.
If you have cause to believe that
your kidneys are weak, disordered or
inactive o should act Immediately.
Foley Kidney Pills have been used
by young, middle aged and old with
complete satisfaction. They act quick.

Inc I1GIdlu Was III cIIOI III lllGII-
ing the w. C. T. U. was responsible
for the omission of pipe and tobac-
co in the Christmas bags they so
generously gave the Red Cross for
the soldier boys. The matter of
tobacco was never discussed by the
w. C. T. u, the articles being Sc
lected by the Red Cross committee.
1t is we'll to note that while the in
ton of the National society was I'M
doubtedly to make the gifts uniform
each Branch was requested to select
such articles as they thought best.
The Herald is glad to rectify this err
ror and glad to know the W. c. T.
U. did not select the list. The
members of this organization have
made many self denials and toiled
early and late to get these gifts
ready for the Christmas shipment
and deserve the highest praise for
their patriotic purpose to bring good
cheer to the soldier boys. The first
quota of so bags has been forwarded
and now comes another call for rs
bags. The committee would have
gladly included pipe and tobacco in
the first lot had they been contrib
uted. They are now asking for con-
trlbutions for the second lot and all
gifts of pipe and tobacco will be
gladly received and placed in the
bags. 1t was unfortunate this mat
ter was not brought before the
people when contributions were first
called for, and apparently it was an
oversight, for the good people of Is
land Pond, foremost among whom
are these ladies who have given 50
much, and will continue to work and
give, want to send the boys those
things that will bring them the
most comfort and good cheer.
The governorship question con-
tinues to bob up, and every little
while some one gets quite 'het" up
over it. The Waterbury Record is
n of the latest to fan the fires.
The Records implication that Gov

the people for reelection unless the
Governor can be assured that anoth-
er political berth of pretty good
nature is provided for him is rath-
or d%ictatorY, or a threat, either
which are poor policies in present
sent day politics. There was a
e when certain quarters, the
of which the Record is credited
representing, could say the word
its candidate came into pc wer.
ose days are ancient history. This
teal domineering spirit has met
Waterloo. 1t went once too Oft
% the well of public opinion and
smashed to "smithereens." The

ham would sanction the utter
of the Record. If he does, then
evident he is threatening to run
congressman or senator unless

RAIDS ON HOSPITAL
WERE DELIBERATE
REAL AMERICAN SPIRIT DISPLAY.
ED DURING BOMBARDMENT-
MEN REMAINED AT POSTS.
FIRST U. S, CASUALTY LIST
Correspondent Gives Details of the
Latest German Barbarity-Bosches
Dropped Silver Coins On Camp
AS Souvenirs.

Scene of the Bombardment of Amer,
ican Hospitals in France-German
'frightfulness" and barbarity reached
new height when Bosche aviators
dropped bombs on this American hos
| pital camp, killing one officer, three
privates and a patient and wounding
10 others.
The officers, men and nurses dis
played real American spirit and hero
ism under the enemy bombardment
from the skies.
With bombs bursting about them
and men already wounded being torn
by pieces of the exploding missiles,
nurses hastened to their aid. officers
stood at their posts, men responded
to every call upon them, and the
first American units to be under ene
my fire carried out the work they
had to do with the utmost bravery.
Following is the first American cas-
ualty list Of the war-the men of
mercy, sent to their deaths by Ger
man frightfulness.
First Lieut.. William T. Fitzsim-
mons, Kansas City; adiutant to the
colonel commanding the Harvard
unit.
Private Leslie G. Wood, Streator,
III.
Private Rudolph Rubino, New York.
Oscar c. Tugo, Boston.
Wounded: Three first lieutenants.
six private, one nurse.
A visit to the hospital camp reveal
ed that there were two raids. The
first took the heaviest toll. But evil
we're deliberate. officers here declar-
cd enemy aviators few over the hos
pitfalls more than once during daylight
hours.
With their markings and their Ioca-
ton there could be no mistake of the
identity of the buildings. The land
marks are also such that they could
he readily mapped by an aviator, and
fhe location of the hospitals fixed.
Nevertheless. bombs were buried down
on the dpserselass buildings with their
scores of equally defenseless attend
ants and patients.
The Chicago Hospital narrowly es-
capped tho fate that befell the Harvard
and st. Louis units. One large bomb
was apparently aimed at the Chicago
from the building, but failed to eX-
plode.

NO COMPROMISE ON
ALSACE, SAYS RlBO7
MATTER CANNOT BE SUBJECT OF
DIPLOMATIC DISCUSSION
PROVINCES ARE FRENCH.

Paris.-France will not compromise
on the question Of recovery of Alsace
and Lorraine, Premier Ribot declared
in an address delivered in connection
with the celebration of the anniver-
sary of the battle of the Marne. He
said France would not consent to dip
lomatic discussion as to whether the
provinces should he restored.
The premier paid a tribute to the
soldiers who fell on the Marne and
to the general who led Frances ar
mics to victory.
France makes pretensions only for
the recovery of its own-to regain pos
session of its provinces, ;wrenched
from it by the odious abuse of force"
he said. Let no one ask France to
compromise upon that question. The
nation could not do it without betray-
ing the cause of justice. What a pre-
face would be given to the peace
which it is sought to found upon the
rights of peoples if the injustice con-
summated half a century ago should
be consecrated anew.
'The restoration of Alsace and Lor-
raine is not one of those questions
that may be given over to discussion
by diplomats. 1t is the very condition
of the establishment OF the rights of
nations which ought to guarantee
peace in the future against fresh vio-
lence."
The premier added that France, in
demanding reparation for devastation
which it had been made deliberately
to suffer, would still be within the
role Of champion of justice.
France does not ask that the ag
gressor be fined" he said, "but only
that the aggressor be obliged to repair
the damage he has done"

HIGHER TAX ON WAR
PROFITS REJECTED
SUBSTITUTION OF FLAT RATE
FOR GRADUATED SYSTEM
ARE LOST.

Washington.-In rapid succession
the Senate bowled over by over
whelming majorities three more pro
posals from the group of senators
seeking to increase the levies on war
profits in the tax bill.
An amendment by Senator Hollis to
tax war profits only at higher rates
and to strike out the finance COM
.mittee's new clause levying $42S,000.-
600 additional on ordinary excess prof
it's was rejected, 81 to II. Then,
without debate, one by Senator La
Toilette to fix a rate of 60 per cent,
designed to raise not less than ST.
800 1000, 900 on war profits, was beaten,
80 to IS. The minimum fat rate pro-
posal of so per cent of the high tax
group presented by Senator Hollis
was voted down, So to IS.
With three setbacks the fight to
substitSte fiat rate for the gradual
ed system of the excess war profits
section virtually ended and the con-
test eHleTeu new stage.
The group still hopes to increase
the tax levy by raising the graduated
rates, but finance committee leaders
are confident that the bill will stand
substantially as now written-provid-
ing for a levy of about one-third on
war profits, or an increase Of 81 1,060,-
100000 over the present revenue of
s226, 100000.
Senators Hollis and Kenyon led the
discussion for the high rates. with
Senator Smoot leading the defense of
the finance committees draft. A bill
totaling s4,00O,OOO,00O was urged by
Senator Hollis, who insisted there had
been a fiat levy of at least 60 per
cent on war profits.
In bitter terms Senator Kenyon
scored the Senate for voting down the
increases proposed. He spoke Of
Unreasonable profits" and said made
quate conscription of wealth and i'm
position of irritating consumption
taxes on the masses of the people
would be responsible for unpopularity
of the bill.
Senator Smoot attacked the Hollis
plan to exempt normal but extremely
large excess profits from taxation, as
serting many millions of ordinary
corporate earnings would escape tax
alton by the proposal.
