the way in which Vienna regards the
reduced bread ration are now at hand.

sent to various personages in Germany
and Hungary, but reassuring replies
are not forthcoming.
The report of the debate in the Mu-
nicipal Council was partly censored. The
Government found no supporters and a
resolution condemning the reduction in
the bread ration was carried unani-
mously.
The same day the Vienna workmen's
council. formed several months ago In
imitation Of the Petrograd soviet. held
an important meeting. which lasted s!S
hours and was attended by 500 dele
gates from labor and Socialist organiza
items. A series OF resolutions which
were passed at this meeting must not

however, should they be dismissed.
There Is tangible evidence Of a con-
centration against the Government OF
the powerful forces of labor and Of a
growing demand for peace. without
which a permanent improvement in the
food situation is an impossibility.
The Viennese soviet wants peace on
the basis Of no annexations and indem-
mites and the establishment of a league
of nations. 1t advises the workers to
avoid demonstrations and possible con-
fllct, but those who understand the
situation say that as soon as the couR-
Gil gives the signal revolt will begin.

TO profiteer at the expense of a ship
yard employe."
He also stated that he had suggest. {.
ed to the Department Of Labor that

In the publishing and newspaper

less talk and less fuss about the ad-

got to be big eaters, because your food

traced to stomach and bowel COM

in the hot sun too soon after eating
hearty midday meal, and also how
liable he is to sudden attacks of stom-

before going back to work. Don't take
chances.
Take care of your stomach, friend.
You know you can't work well with
your stomach out of fix. "Safety first,"
