regarding the propaganda of members
Of the German Embassy and of German
agents disclosures with which the Ger

which was, according to experts brought
into court, 75.5 cants basket.
Donby admitted these facts, but An
attempt was made by his lawyers to intro
ducc testimony to show that he, DENLY,
WINS already under contract with Howclls,
his landlord, to leave all contracting for
disposal of the products to the landlord.
The court refused to allow this evidence on
the ground that DENLY was legally en-
titled to make contract with the Liberty

PACKERS WAGE
ARGUMENT ENDS.
ATTORNEY FOR EMPLOYEES
ALLEGE THEY ARE UN-
DERPAID.

Chicago, March S-Urging that
all six of the demands OF the men
be granted, Attorney Frank p.
Walsh delivered his closing argu-
ments ir the packers wage arbitra-
tion.
In closing the case for the pack
ers, Attorney James G. Condor sug-
gested that the arbitrator fix the
working day for unskilled men at
one hour more than for skilled la
Dor so as to provide for the neces-
sary cleanup of the plants after
killing and dressing beef.
The courtroom was crowded with
stockyards employees and their
friends when Mr.. Walsh began to
speak.
The children of these stockyard
workers are hungry because their
parents cannot earn living wage,
said Mr.. Walsh. They are not
receiving a living wage he said.
"They are insufhciently clad and in
sufficiently shod. The workmen are
making a real sacrifice every day.
What sacrifice are the packers max
ing comparable with theirs
He extolled the virtues OF labor
unions and insisted on the right Of
collective bargaining for wages and
conditions OF service.
Capital may not know it, but it
is the labor union which is going to
save their property and prevent a
situation such as that which has
demoralized Russia said Mr..
Walsh. He then informed Judge
Samuel Alschuet, the arbitrator,
who has been a lawyer all his life,
that arbitrators in labor disputes
should be a man who works with
| his hands.

thin, bloodless and lacking the Pep

wanted to Join the army, and help
shoulder the responsibility that |
felt was duty bound to do, but
after | got in saw | would have
to start in and take something that
would aid me to accomplish my
purpose.
Nov, this thing of joining the
army is about the best thing a young
fellow can do, but it is a real man s
work, and ! secuted around for a
tonic that would go to the root Of
all my troubles, which were con-
stipation and a poor blood supply,
and relieve me of distressing after
meal effects and help me to take on
little flesh that would enable me
to Jump in and prove efficient in
my new duties.
at was fortunate that | was ac-
quaintcd with one Of the represent
atives of the Pep Chemical Co., and
after talking with him he GAVE
me a bottle OF PEP SYSTEMIC
PILLS and urged me to try them.
Here is what he promised: They
will relieve you of constipation, fur
nish you with pure, rich blood, re-
store nerve energy, provide sweet
sleep, and increase your weight
from FIVE to twelve pounds. 1t seems
a miracle that all of this has come
to pass and more so when | gained
the maximum weight he said it wa,
possible to gain.
Il have heartily indorsed PEI
Systemic Pills to my friends at the
camp and now want the public a
large to know that these Pep Sys
tcmic Pills can do the same TO
them.

UnpIeasantness in Home Creates In
tangible ImpaIpabIe Atmosphere,
Driving Children Away.

A few sarcastic words from the fa-
ther, a sharp retort from the mother
that was all. But was it all? What
about the effect upon Johnnie and SUI
sic, sitting there quietly at their eve
ming lessons? And did neither parent
notice that Thomas slipped out of the
house at the first intimation that there
was to be quarrel between father
and mother? For quarrel it really was,
although brief and clothed in the Ian
guage Of educated, respectable per-
sons; and long after these harsh and
unkind words had been spoken the at
mosphere of the family living room
remained charged with an emotional
disturbance in which no one could con-
centrate his mind upon his reading or
study.
Family friction is always fatal to
happiness, says Mary A. Lasalle in
Mothers Magazine, and when there
are children in the home it is almost
sure to work irreparable harm upon
their minds and souls.
One of the most powerful causes of
