notable manifestations of patriotism
no less than the shipyards. In many
establishments thruout the country
workmen have taken solemn pledges
to stand by the nation at all times,
to do the best work within their
power and to exert every effort to
defeat the foe.
In most places employers have
given their best to the nation. There
have been instances of disagree
ment between workmen and factory
owners, and these the government,
thru the department Of labor, Is
eradicating as best it can. 0" .
The employer does not realize as
the workman does how cost OF .liv-
ing mounts from day to day. The
employee is none the less patriotic
because he insists upon maintaining
good living conditions for his family;
the man who is satisfied with his
job and whose domestic affairs are
not continually worrying him can
give the most effective service.
Most employers have shown a very
real appreciation Of their work
mems problems. Occasionally there
is an employer of the old school,
one whose mind has not kept abreast
of the times and who does not
realize the great demands that war
has made upon the family income.
Such men, who thought SO a day
good pay before the war can see no
reason why SO is not good pay now,
in spite of the fact that commodities
have gone up in general from go to
rs per cent. a. a.N
The war has been the means of
spreading social education to quart
ers where otherwise it might never
have come. The really big men Of
the employing class now realize that
workmen are most efficient and loyal
when they are we'll treated; that
it is better for the workman to have
a fur coat and automobile than not.
The workman, on the other hand,
has come to realize that mere posses
sion of an automobile and fur coat
by the boss is no reason for the work.
mans chanting a hymn of hate.
That is the message that the war
is bringing to the employer and the
employee who will survive in the
new time-large production will
mean plenty for all provided there
is the tolerance and respect on both
sides that will lead to industrial
peace. The new era is at hand; the
old-time business autocrat and the
old-time labor demagogue are both
non essential in these times.

WAR RESULTS IN
AN AWAKENING
Labor Difficulties Have
Been Ironed Out and
Things Going Well.

How war is ushering in a new era,
an era of industrial peace based
upon industrial understanding, has
been strikingly illustrated by series
of conferences, held under the aus
pices Of the information and educa-
.tion service OF the U. s. department
Of labor, at which representatives
of workman, both organized and un-
organized, have met manufacturers
from all parts Of the country.
These conferences have shown
conclusively that. patriotism knows
neither wealth nor station. The
factory hand and the coal miner have
shown q spirit of self-sacriflce not q
whit less inspiring, and on the other
hand no more inspiring, than that
of the man who has given up his
business, built up by the painstak-
ing effort of q score of years. to
serve the nation in olive drab or by
hard work-in some highly technical
position, without pretense of COM
pensation. .:eae-t .se -a
From this spirit Of common sacri-
fee, and of mutual concession for the
common good, q better understand
ing has grown up between employer
and employee that will, II main
tanned and nurtured, build q new
world after the war.
Such names as Hurley, Vanderlip
and Schwab are as widely known in
America today as those >of Pershing
and Sims. War has converted all
America into a great communal en-
terprise, as the department Of labor
conferences have brought out-the
object of which enterprise is the ma
TONS salvation from enemy destruc-
tion. To accomplish this end, all the
industries that make the war go on
to a successful finish must be con-
Quoted with the greatest efficiency
possible. Workmen and owners are
doing their share.
Efficiency in itself, in the sense
of careful management and economi-
cal business practice, is not sufficient
in times like these. A broader ef-
ficiency is necessary, based on the
spirit of service to the nation; an
enthusiasm animating worker and en-

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate TO
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, VIgor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepare
tons and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy, de-
Veloping arms, neck ana bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines ~ health ard beauty.
there are evidently thousands OF men
and women who keenly feel their ex-
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Jul bodies need
modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that will supply this defici-
enCy so well as the organic phosphate
known among druggists as b!tro-phos-
phate, which Is inexpensive and Is sold
by Washburn-L Lyle and most all drug
gists under a guarantee OF satisfaction

This increase In weight also carries
with 1t a general improvement in the
lack Of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive %thinness, soon dis

pale cheeks glow with the bloom Of
perfect health.
CAUTION Although b%itro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed ror relieving ner-
Nousuess, sleeplessness and general
weakness, 1t should not, owing TO its
remarkable flesh growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire
TO put on flesh. adv.

rious conditions prevail at some Of Mis-

lack OF room to take care Of needy per

DR.. Willis VALLEY, superintendent Of
