STURDY STOCK
BY HENRY A. McANARNEY.

There have been more than 100000
sturdy men between the ages of 81
and 81 withdrawn from productive in
dustries in the last year-men whose
positions cannot be filed by women.
And these figures are for the United
States alone. They do not take into
account the limitation of the labor
supply thru the natural cessation of
immigration, because of the amalga-
nation of the immigrant class with
the fighting forces of Europe.
The United States must recoup the
industrial deficit Of the entire world
herculean undertaking in normal
times; titanic in the present day. Yet
n task which the country faces with
calm assurance of accomplishment.
The nation has faith in the loyalty,
the patriotism and the capacity Of its
reserve working forces to overcome
the gigantic barriers that obstruct the
way. The time has come when that
faith must be justified.
The nations fighting forces have
proved their mettle on the battle field

WOMEN'S WORK BUREAU
SEEKS TO DISPLACE MEN.

The woman's division of the United
States employment service, Barclay

sires to consult with all employers
who are keeping men in positions
which could be filled by women.
THE quickest way to increase the
supply of men for necessary war
work." said Miss Theodosia E. Raines,
in charge of the woman's division, sis
to displace those men who insist on
sticking to jobs which women could
fill. Where there is coal to be mined
and goods to be sold, it is obvious
that the women could better sell the
goods, and that it is the mans duty

know that the war must be won They
realize that their forces of will and
their indomitable determination are
the guardians of universal liberty.
They are confronted by the supreme
obligation of supporting our magnifi-
cent fighting forces overseas with mu-
nitions and supplies of war, of feeding
the nations allies, of keeping the
whole machinery of life in motion.
Shall they fulfill that supreme OBJ
legation voluntarily and vigorously?
They shall; for they come of the
sturdy stock that stand by their guns
when their country calls.

What's Happening at
COIfax and BrOudWuu?

A week ago construction OF very I'M
portant double track connection on Broad
way and on 18th Street was begun.
This new track, which the Public
Utility Commission ordered the Tramway
to install after hearings year ago, is In
tended to connect Broadway and Colfax
with 10th, 18th and 18th Streets via
direct route The work involves the laying
Of track on Broadway from Colfax to Ceve-
land and on 9th from Broadway to Court
Place, including of course the entire re-
building of the grand union layout Of curves
and crossings at Colfax and Broadway
The work is being done bv the c. S.
Lambie Company, which has been employed
by the Government at the United States
General Hospital at Aurora. The Tramway
itself was unable to handle the work in ad-
dition to the maintenance and other track
construction which has been started since
additional revenue was made available thru
the &c fare Not only are we short Of COM
mon labor but we are also short of super
visory officials in the Engineering Depart
ment, many Of whom are now in Govern
ment service.

these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-calIed Spanish influenza is
Identical with the epidemics of infiuen-

"Epidemics OF influenza have visited
. ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient. spread first TO Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
ilized world. Three years later there
was another aare-up of the disease
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic is
called spanish Influenza there is no
reason 10 believe that it originated in
Spain. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can Spanish influenza" be rec.
osnized7
There is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of Spanish infu-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand. recognition is easy where
there is group of cases. In contrast
TO the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually OCCUR in the
cold months, epidemics of influenza
may occur at any season OF the year
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe in May. June and
July. Moreover, in the case of ordi.
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain. depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final.
ly, ordinary colds do no; spread
through the community so rapidly or
SO extensively as does Influenza.
in most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud
denly. He feels weak. has pains in the
eyes. ears, head or back, and may be
sore ali over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit- Most Of the pa
tients complain OF feeling chilly. and
with this comes n fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 TO l04. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow
In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may he slightly 'bloodshot.' or con
gested' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose. or
there may he some cough. These signs
OF cold may not be marked: never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick

the symptoms as already described.

1t wiu require about nine more weeks
to complete the construction of this new
track, providing an average gang of fifty
laborers can be held on the lob. The Lam
bic Company reports that the highest num-
Der of men they have been able to get has
been forty, but in spite of this handicap
they are just about keeping pace with the

Broadway and 10th Streets are torn up
with this work the business houses on these
streets, and their customers, will be greatly

Motorists will also find the streets some

around them. We want to assure all Of
them that we are going to leave nothing
undone that will speed up the completion
of the construction.
The only delays that can oocr- are
those resulting from lack Of sufficient labor
and adverse weather conditions If W. can

The Christian Science View.
Times Republican

In the issue of your paper Nov.
appeared an editorial headed Pseudo
Science," II consisted of an excerpt
from an article in The Christian
Science Monitor and an attack on the
statements made therein. Altho its
author does not agree with the ideas
he quoted and frankly states his OBJ
iections, I recognize evident
honesty of his thought and respect 1t
AS the attitude OF the Christian
Science Monitor is the expression of
Christian Science you will Of course
allow me a few words in reply.
Christian Sciepce freely accords TO
all those who differ from it the rag mt
to hold for themselves whatever op!n-
ions may appeal to them. Therefore, 1t
is not at all in an argumenta1ive spirit
but in one Of fair-play that approach
this matter. When viewpoints are
exact opposites the only thing left TO
do IS to agree to disagree in the spirit
of kindly tolerance.
If one really believes in the existence
of deadly germs and in matter as in
ielligcnt to injure man there IS no
other conclusion to be drawn from
the statements quoted from the Chris
tian Science Monitor than that it's
argument is "sophistical and i'll
founded" Likewise lis assertions that
some day the world will come to sec
that what it calls contasIon is a men
tai contag ion and what ii calls infec-
ton is the Infection of one mind from
another" would be considered mis-
leading and such as would actually
jeopardize the public health"
If. like doubling Thomas. one insists
upon the material view point. nothing
will satisfy him but material things.
If material things are all that are to
be ceen. the lot of mankind is most
unhappy one. But this is not the
case. There is another viewpoint from
which to look out upon this material
world of ours and that is the Christian
Science view point. The bible tells us
to look not at the things which are
SEEN hat at the things which are not
seen: for the things which are seen
are temporal; but the things which are
not seen are eternal" However para
doxical this may seem to the mater
| ialist, Christian Science has shown and
IS today showing thousands Of people
| how to gain this higher view point
| how to lift thought above the con.
temptation of matter as substance
how to verify the scriptural teaching
they that are after the flesh do mint
the things Of the flesh; but they that
are after the spirit the things of the
spirit"

BRAVE RECONSTRUCTION CRISIS NOW.

If you have a good JOB today hold on
to it. The munition makers are COM
ing home soon and they will all be
looking for jobs like yours. 1t has
been estimated al along that from two
to four persons are employed at war
work for every person enlisted in the
army and navy. We have four millions
under arms hence from eight TO six
teen millions have been engaged in
war work.
Munition making will cease within
few days. Civilian work viii in
crease but not in any such volume as
munition work. Overtime and $50 per
day are going out with the war. In
experienced and incompetent persons
who have been doing at work which
DO will be separated from their JOBS
first. The advantage and economic
necessity of being skilled at something,
the ancient wisdom Of having a trade
will return as the selection of workers
goes on.
We may look for newspaper an
nouncement now of munitions factories
closing. Construction work will not
| begin until spring. Food prices must
| remain high. All Europe has been
| starved and it's cupboard is bare. There
never was a time when the necessity
for saving war so great.
| In hard times when jobs fail and
| relatives come home to board falling
prices of commodities help to soften
| the burden Until Europe can raise
another crop all of Europe is coming
to the United State to board and
prices are in great danger of going up
temporarily at the very time when war
jobs cease and civilian jobs have not
yet been obtained.

waring nations like Russia, Austria
Germany, the Balkan states and our
own allies hungry anad destitute OF
| food but the neutrals like Norway
Sweden, Denmark, Holland anc
Switzerland have all been as neal
| starvation as tho they had been al
war. 1t is the law of nature for a
hungry man to barter everything fol
food and all of Europe is about ia
rush the first bake shop with the des-
peration of starving men. The only
big supply of food is in the United
States and, Canada. South America
and Australia have some stored up but
no such volume as is on hand in NORTH
America Europe is going to buy w
all the food she can get in America
Food prices must remain high until :
crop can be raised in ell parts Of the
world.
Our own people should save and con-
serve as never before. They shoule
save in order to have the wherewithal
with which to buy at inflated prices
and conserve in order that there shall
be a maximum supply for those who
will be clamoring to buy.

Christian Scientists prefer to trust
God absolutely. They believe the hrst
commandment, Thou shall have no
