WITH THE EDITORS
"THE WANDERER."

Seattle is distinctly favored and enriched by
the current presentation of "The Wanderer," a
dramatization of the Bible story of the prodigal
son. Such production glorifies the stage, as
such classics as ben Hur," "Quo Vadis," "The
Servant in the House" and "The Passing of the
Third Floor Back" glorifed it in the past. AS a
spectacle it excels these and in it's portrayal Of
scored figures and pictures of Biblical times
stands out as pre-eminent achievement. Abound
ing in Oriental splendor, as it must in truly de-
picting the PARABLE it's background is impressive
ly simple. Reverence personifed is disclosed in
the lesson taught. All in all, it embellishes the
Scripture and becomes something more than the
pleasing entertainment Of a passing hour. Such
a production obviously could succeed only at the
hands of real artists. Stagecraft alone would not
suffice. Actors who live and feel the parts port
rayed are required necessarily. That so elaborate
play with the original cast and scenic accessories
should be seen outside the large Eastern cities is
a matter of wonderment That it should reach
this distant point attests it's inherent and sur
passing merit. And in it's presentation here as
already said, Seattle is peculiarly and richly
favored
Not to see "The Wanderer" is to allow OPP
portunity to knock at the door in vain and to miss
a dramatic feast offered once in generation

Keen desire to play the game :w
And stick in it? Can't you hand
Granddad something SOS he'll stand =,
Like the leader of the band,
Stead Of just poundin' some

When you say, you're CROWN young,
Granddad! Don't just use your tongue

His face into yours and ticks,
AS if .sayin' There! take that!
But I'D rather chase the cat"
Prove your words and prove your grin;
Puts understanding in.
Don't palaver him and say
How he's younger every day ~
And the In treat him like ghost r
Keepin' him shut out of most N
o ,your everyday affairs ~
Worries, triumphs, hopes and cares.
Keep old grandad in On shares .~...
In the family. His advice - ,
Is worth askin' once-or twice. ..'.
I've known folks who overdid
This young" business, till they slid :

S'posed to do what he was bid.
Sure! it takes some pains to hold III
Grandad in the family fold,
Not too young and not too old,

On his holdin' up his end, 4
Like an equal and a friend.
Everything "takes palms, you see,
Everything, except to be
Tightwads on the family tree!

CONsCRIpTING WAR PROFITS

In fixing coal prices the price had to be high
enough to stimulate production by allowing profit
to the least efficient mines.
This meant an abnormally high war profit to the
most efficient mines.
In fixing meat prices the same policy had to be
pursued. The stock raiser had to get price that
would stimulate production and the least efficient
packer had to have price that would give him
profit and keep him busy.
That meant abnormal war profit for the highly
efficient packing trust.
There seemed to be no way to curb profteering
bysprice fixing The only way left to prevent
pr(hteering was for the government to recover ex-
cess war profit by Taxation ,sn
That is, Uncle Sam had to let the efficient win

TURKS STARYE AND KILL
10000 BRITISH PRlS0NES


taken by the Turks have been starved
to death or killed by Turkish brutal

The total number Of British and In
dian prisoners taken by the Turks up
to July I, 1918, is 1929.
OF these, the Turkish Prisoners Of
War committee considers it unlikely
that more than 5000 officers and
men. II that many remain alive.
| Prisoners in Germany, as miserable
as is their lot, are far better off, the
report in Commons shows, than the
unfortunate victims of Turkish neg.
lect and brutality.
! And starvation cannot be kept away
from prisoners in Turkish camps by
means Of food parcels from home.
Even when it was possible to send
food parcels to these men, three out
of four were never delivered, and for
five months now the parcel post to
Turkey has been entirely suspended
by Austria.
Apart from famine. the men in the
Turkish camps die from lack of cloth
ing, blankets and medical supplies.
Officers may have money sent them
from home with which to buy the only
food they get But this is paid in
Turkish paper, which has decreased
in value so that with the exOrbitant
prices charged the prisoners for food,
they are little better off than the prt-
Yates.
There are, cases Of officers in Turk
ish camps having exhausted all their
savings at home through this Turk

food. And Turkey shows no interest
in exchanging prisoners, knowing the

SPEEDING UP.

Before the war fatigue and its relation to health
was the subject of many Investigations through
out the country. 1t was found that an individual
could not work long hours and maintain his max
imum efficiency and that in the long run the
practice was unfavorable to both employe and
employer.
il Methods devised in many places to speed up
the output of industries are bound to have re-
action not only on the output but on the individ-
ual Physical fatigue from the standpoint of pre-
ventive medicine must be given careful considera-
ton as one of the important factors tending to
lower blood and tissue resistance to infectious
diseases and especially infections associated with
poor ventilation.
With overcrowding, close contact, bad ventila-
ton and catarrhal infections accompanied by
coughing and sneezing, individuals vary in sus-
septibility to such infections, and susceptibility
seems to vary from time to time in the same in
dividual. Age, exposure, fatigue, mental depres-
sion, digestive disturbances, lack of food and un-
suitable clothing are important factors in the in
lection and spread of disease. ..,.~..-a.. -
Factory output must be maintained but so must
bodily upkeep. Some things that aid the latter are
avoidance Of overeating or drinking; do not keep
late hours, get plenty of sleep; eat the right kind
Of food-only little meat in hot weather. Learn
to relax, avoid needless worry and undue excite
ment, wear proper clothing battle often.

is pursuing. 1t also seems to be about the only
sure way to overcome profiteering.

THE CZECHO.SLOVAKs.


The hopes of the Czecho-Slovaks are gradually
being realized.
Great Britain has formally recognized the
Czecho-Slovaks as an allied nation and their three
armies as part of the great allied fighting force.
France and Italy have already officially recog-
nized the aspirations of these people, and the
United States has unofficially through it's Sec
rotary of state expressed the sympathy Of this
country for their cause.
The recognition of these people by the allied
powers is but the carrying out of one of the pri-
ciples for which we are fighting-the freeing of
the smaller nations from any despotic control.
The allies have much to be grateful for in the
struggle of the Czecho-Slovaks for political free
dom. They have kept alive the flame of revolt in
the Austrian empire. They have deserted to the
cause of the allies whenever and wherever pos
sible, fighting under their banners when capture
meant death as deserters. They kept on fighting
the advancing armies of the Germans into Russia,
even though the Russians had fed And now
they are also fighting shoulder to shoulder with
the French, British and Americans on the west
ern front driving the HUN back to his liar.
Political freedom as a separate nation will mean
the end of the sufferings and privations of these
people.

RAILROAD MEN ASK
33 1-3 P. c. INCREASE
Yearly Cost of Wage Advance
Figured at S82, 1000, 900 for
Organized Labor.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE first off
cial indication Of what proposed railroad
wage increases would cost was given
at the hearing yesterday afternoon before
the Railroad Wage Commission, when J.
A. Franklin presented the claims Of the
railway employees department Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
Figuring an average Of % l-3 per
cent increase on the fiat increases asked
the additional cost would be $4,000 900
annually" Secretary Lane, chairman of
the commission, computed.
Mr. Franklin said the estimate seemed
correct based upon increases for $50 900
organized men. He also had suggested
that any increases should apply TO nn-
organized workers Of the same trades,
numbering about 26O, 900, who were not
figured in the rough calculation The
wage basis asked was So a dav for skilled
men, such az carmen, nlachinists and black
smiths; "a 80 day for helpers, and time
and half for overtime, Sunday and
holiday work.
None Of the witnesses before the com
mission has submitted estimates Of what
the increases requested would cost, All
apparently taking the position Of A. Il
GarretsOn Of the conductors, who said
that 10 did not matter what the cost
would be, since the increases were rs.
sentiai 10 maintain the standard Of liv.
ing, and that if an industry did not
maintain the men serving it the industry
did not deserve 70 survive.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POlSONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In 1t,
before breakfast

To feel as fine as the proverblal fiddle,
we must keep the liver washed clean,
almost every morning, to prevent its
sponge-like pores from clogging with in
digestible material, sour bile and poison
GUS toxins. says a noted physician
If you get headaches, it's your liver
If YOU catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery ewes
ali denote liver uncleanliness Your
liver is the most important, also the
most abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins.
Every man and woman, sick or we'll,
should drink each morning before break
fast a glass Of hot water with n teaspoon
ful Of limestone phosphate in it, to wash
from the liver and bowels the previous
davis indigestible material, the pois0ns,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and freshening the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate is inexpensive;
any pharmacist will sell you a a quarter
pound, which is sufficient for a demon
stration of how hot water and limestone
phosphate cleans, stimulates and freshens
the liver, keeping you feeling fit day In
and day out.

PLOT To HURT LABOR
is CHARGED IN HOUSE
Rep. KeatIng Scents Conspiracy
to Belittle War Aid of
Workers.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The charge
that there is a studied and determined
effort on the part Of the House Of Rep
rtssentatIves to minimize the achieve
ments OF the Depar tInent OF Labor and
magnify its faults and to put upon labor
generally the stigma OF Stacking In the
war was made yesterday by Represen-
tative Heating (Col.), chairman OF the
House Labor Committee.
MIR keating's charge came as the re-
suit of battle in the House over the
reference of the administration measure
to provide fund Of $50,00C,000 for
housing munitions workers. The Labor
Committee has had this bill in its keep
ing. Representative Clark Fla moved
To change the reference to this COM
mittee, Public Buildings and Grounds
and the House supported the move, l12
to 80.
Mr.. Heating saw in this bill an attack
on the Secretary of Labor and an effort
to upset the administration plan of giving
the Secretary of Labor control of the big
housing fund. MIR Clark denied that
this would be the effect OF the reference
of the bill to another committee. lt was
suggested also that Mr.. Clark was an
opponent of the measure and would let
| it die in his committee. He denied
this also, saying he acted only because
he did not wish matters which should
properly come before his committee TO be
| sent to other committees.
MIR. Heating in his criticism Of the
House said: There apparently is a
studied and determined effort here TO
discredit the Department of Labor and
labor itself There is also strong dis
position TO put upon labor the RESPONSE

URGE GOVERNMENT
To RUN SH|PYARDS
Officials Increase Agitation as
Labor Troubles Continue to
Delay Building.
WAsnrNfIrnn. Feb. II.


Government operation of shipvards
soon may follow Government control Of
railroads as step necessary TO speed
up the war program and supply solution
OF the problems involving capital and labor
which have hampered construction 10
the point where serious menace 10 the
nations plans admittedly has developed.
Agitation for action IN that direction
made itself heard soon after the Senate
Commerce Committee began its lnvesti-
cation of the chaotic conditions at Hog
Island II gained in force today as n
r.sut OF revelations concerning continued
demands for wage increases, andfapparent
indifference on the part OF many employees.
IL was reported in some quarters that
certain shipyards classified as inefficient,
which arc now operated under private
ownership, although engaged on none but
Government contracts, might be first
commandecred by the Government to
test tho effectiveness OF Federal control.
Apparently the Administration is concern
cd, and may adapt drastic methods.
It is frankly and almost universally
admitted that some action along definite
lines must be taken unless there Is an
immediate Improvement in conditions.
The Shipping Board has the power to
commander the shipyards and assume
absolute control of the industry, thus
making it possible to deal directly with
the workingmen and handle all phases
of the shipbuilding program from the
Government standpoint alone.
Advocates of the communicating pro
gram have urged that the Government,
with private capital practically eliminated
from participation around the council
tables, would be In much stronger posi-
ton to handle the problem of wage ad
iustment, tell the workingmen what was
expected of them and see to it that
slackers were punished and the desired
results accomplished. They feel that the
attitude of labor would undergo decided
