WILL NOT REDUCE Wages
Railroad Administration Makes innp0r
tant Announcement Concerning
Conditions to Follow Peace.

The railroad administration plans no
reduction in railroad employees wages
under peace conditions, and likewise
no material lowering of freight and
passenger rates. it was stated authori-
tatively. Both are likely to remain at
the present levels, although with many
readiustments, during the period of
changing the nation from war to
peace.
Even with recent advances railroad
wages now are not as high as those
paid for similar service in war indus
tries, it was declared, and consequent-
ly railroad administration officials feel
that there is no war bonus to be taken
off the wages of rail employees.
Events of the last days have caused
a pronounced movement of men from
war industries to the railroads, where
they are insured greater permanency
of employment, officials said. ManyS0f
these, particularly laborers, will be
given work on the railroads delayed
program of improvements, which have
been held up mainly because of lack
Of labor.

WANT CHILDREN
BACK IN SCHOOL
Movement for Normal Conditions
Now War Emergency Is
Considered Over.
APPEAL TO STATE OFFICIALS
Department of Labor Asks Their Co
operation in Matter So Important
to the Country-other Items
of General interest.

A movement to secure the return to
school of thousands of children who
have been drawn into industry during
the war emergency has been begun by
the children's Labor bureau of the de-
partment of labor.
An announcement said letters had
been sent to all state officials respon-
Sible for enforcement of school attend
ance and child labor laws asking their
cooperation.
The bureau also has enlisted the CO
operation of the local child welfare
committees of the council of national
defense, federal employment service
and boys working reserve.
Thousands of children, the an
nouncement said, were drawn into I'M
suitable occupations during the war by
the attraction of high wages. In many
instances children under fourteen are
being employed more than eight hours
day, it was said, and children as
young as five years have been found
| in Industry.
Women employed in war industries
must be protected during the period
of industrial transformation from I'M
employment. A relapse to lower wage
standards and unsuitable conditions OF
employment threatens, said state
ment by Mary Van Kleeck, director OF
the women in industry service of the
| department of labor.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub.
fishing attest to its virtue.

modern man higher state Of mind |;
alcoholism degrades the whole man !;

"The modern ethic holds love Of

the modern man sentimental phil.
anthropy but the consciousness OF
responsibility for the alienation Of
physical and intellectual need. But

SALOON TAXES.

The brewers in Reading, Pa, are
taking stand for lower valuations on
the various saloon properties scattered
throughout the city. They claim the
town council should consider, when fix
ing tax valuation, the fact that pos
sible prohibition will cause deprecia-
ton In the value Of these properties.
Ordinarily saloon properties are val
ued at higher figure than those adj
joining because they bring much
higher price In the market
On the other hand, saloon, because
Of its usually undesirable character,
depreciates the value of other proper
ties in its neighhorhood. Are they
not entitled to a reduction because OF
depreciation caused by the presence CT
the saloon?

THE WINE DELUSIoN.

DR.. William Brady, in the Chicago
News, recently exploded the old sur
perstition that wine Is strength
building tonic. He says:
For a long time there has been a
suspicion growing among thoughtful
physicians that alcohol does not de-
serve the reputation our medical ia
Tiers gave it in medicine. First it was
proved beyond question that alcohol
was not a food. Then it was settled
that alcohol does not stimulate the
heart or the brain. Then it was found
that alcohol does not help digestion,
but rather inhibits or delays diges'
ton.
