DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Good Health Is in Your Own
Hands
BY SAMUEL HAMILTON. N. b.

The man who said people dig their
graves with their teeth" uttered q truth
that goes clear to the bottom OF the health
question. Suppose you should take every
thing YOU eat and drink for breakfast,
everything YOU eat and drink for dinner,
everything You eat and drink for supper,
and mix all together in one mass. 1t would
surely be a dreadful mixture TO look upon.
And yet your stomach is obliged to dispose
Of that unsightly mass each dayl Is ii any
wonder so many people have Indigestion,
dyspepsia, backachc, headache, bad blood,
liver complaint, SKIN diseases, NERVOUSNESS,
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis and
goodness knows what else? Yes, people
dig their graves with their teeth, and before
the end comes they pass through one sick
ness or trouble after another You should
be glad tc know that Dr. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
has placed in the drug stores o medicine
called Golden Medical Discovery that can
be dependedAupon to overcome many Of
the diseases named above. 1t may seem
impossible for one medicine to do so much,
but really the whole thing is rs simple as
the figure l. Dr. picrccs Golden Medical
Discovery corrects Che disOrdered condi-
tons in sick stomach, aids digestion, acts
as tome and purihes the blood. When
this IS done, away 90 the diseases that are
caused by a sick stomach. Ii You are
digging your grave with your teeth stop
today. Correct your stomach disorders
right now with Golden Medical Discovery,
and henceforth cat for your health's sake.
If you don't know what foods are best for
you write DR.. Pierce, Pres. Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, ~ Y, and receive conf
dental medical advice without charge.
Golden Medical Discovery is.made with
out alcohol 'or opiates, so anybody and

Secretary Wilson
Seeks to Prevent
Mooney Strike
Head Of Federal Labor De-
partmena Tells Workers
Action Would MOI Aid
Plan TO Obtain New Trial
BY BRIGGS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-An appeal
10 the workers of the country not to
engage in nation wide strike, as a
protest in the case Of Thomas !.
Mooney, convicted Of murder in con
ncction with the Preparedness Day
bomb explosion in San Francisco, was
issued today by Secretary OF Labor
Wilson.
IN telegram to Otto a. Hartwig,
president Of the Oregon State Federa-
tion Of Labor. the Secretary said that
if the evidence now available is suffi-
cient to cohvince jurythat there has
been a conspiracy to convict Mooney
there is ever probability that he Will
secure new trial and nave his guilt
CT innonenceC,etermi by d Jury in
he ilght oa the facts that are now
known 10 exist
The Secretary added that the only
eject q ii strike would be to bring
INTO disreputc ana tend to destroy the
Jury system OF trial. which IS The re-
uit OF 4 thousand years Struggle on
the part Of the messes to pro.ccG mem
selves against criminals on the one
hand and protitecling on the other"
Many labor unions over the country
have voted to strike December as a
protest In the Mooney case Their
&ct+on was taken before Governor
Stephens commuted Moneys death
sentence to lie imprisonment, but Of
ticia.s Of the American Federation Of
Labor have publicly announced that
the Governors action did not meet the
demands of labor in the case
"if Mooney has been guilty Of this
crime said Mr. Wilson'S telegram.
Labor is not interested in protecting
him. If he is innocent, all Of our
people are interested in his acGuittal.
No strike of the workers OF the coun-
Try can facilitate these processes. 1t
cannot produce particle OF evidence
that would be helpful IN securing JUS
tice. \ strike can neither give fair
trial to nor secure fair trial for
Mooney, and l sincerely hope that no
strike Will take place"

British Plans for
Demobilizing Army
Are Now Complete
Getting Men FROM Khaki
Back to Civil Life Is Long,
Hard Task-Many Jobs
Are Ready

LONDON, Nov 10 Correspondence
of The Associated Prcssl The British
government has completed its basic
plans for demobilization of the army
and providing employment for the men
whose sole business for four years has
been war. It is calculated that 60 per
cent Of the men in the army will go
back 20 their old Jobs on have new ones
awaiting thcm. but taking care of the
remainder, even though every ounce
OF man power will be needed after the
war. presents a most difficult problem.
ii VIII hc 4 long, tedious task to
transform millions o. men from khaki
tc civil life and this must be done By
degrees. By tho plan agreed upon
these degrees have been fixed upon the
needs OF industry, with certain con-
sdc1ation being given to married men
or those who may be needed in the
home
The government has d record of what
each man is best fitted for in civil life.
The Ministry Of Public Service, which
together with other official agencies,
prepared list Of necessary industries
in the order Of what is deemed their
Importance. The first few arc called
'kcy' trades, many of which produce
materials needed FOR use in other
trades. The idea is that it would be
useless to release a lot of structural
steel workers ahead of thc men who
produce steel The trades list is com
plete but will not be announced because
Of controversies it might arouse.
The fact that man has jol, await
ING him Will not insure his early re-
lease. The government would like to
rc rid Of that class. but il cannot han
die more than half the army at one
time; hence 4 rigid adnercnce to indus
trial needs. A soldier may be dia-
mond setc". with a job to go TO. while
his trench mate may be a railway
brakeman without a Job. The brake
man Will be taken first and given an
opportunity TO 90 to work.
il is reasonable to suppose that rail
way worlmen. if not heading the "key"
list, are very close to the top of it. and
also that miners are we'll up. 1t is
vitality necessary to TO demobilzation
plans to have the railways in running
order and that the miners are needed
TO increase the fuel supply for indus
tries and home comfort. And so on
down the long list until practically
every recognized tradcis included.
When Il man has been selected for
discharge he will be sent to a col
lecting camp. the most OF which will,
of course, be in France. He will then
be sent to distributing camp in Eng.
land, where he VIII receive his allow
ance for civilian clothing. He will be
given months furlough, which will
mean that he will be on army pay
while getting located in new work
From this stage the Minister of Labor
assumes charge. He will have the aid
and cooperation OF local employers,
associations and labor unions. AL
ready long lists OF jobs open to sol
diers have been prepared. 1t remains
for the government, employers and
unions to get the job and the man
together.

Liberty Shaft in
City Hall Park Is
Being Torn Down
Plain Brick Monument
Erected by the Mayors
Committee of Women
TO Be Sold for Charity

The Mayors Committee Of Women
on National Dcfercc, OF which Mrs.
William Randolph Hearst is chairman,
set about the sad task yesterday morn
ing OF tearing down the plain brick
Liberty shaft, the womcn's very own
memorial monument, erected by and to
themselves in City Hall Park A cold
wind blew a dirgc for the occasion.
Little heaps of snow drbblcd to the
ground from the capped top with a
melancholy air as workmcn began
their task
1t promised to be mournful cere-
mony indeed until habtues of the park
perceived that the work of destruction
had been begun at the foundation and
tlrat the park "chimney' was tottering
like a tree about to be fcllcd. Pedcs-
trians gasped and began to walk rap
idly in direction away from the shaft.
One hardy soul penetrated the re-
cesses of the shaft. where three work
men, blue with the cold, were pecking
at the hardened cement, and learned
that the monument would come down
brick by brick and that it would be
three weeks before it could be razed
and the bricks carted away.
The shivering three had been set to
dig out the brick which Pres ident Will
son had signed. There was a technical
reason, however, for the demolition of
the base. They had been forbidden,
said the workmen, TO hurl bricks care
lessly from the top, and in order to
lower them recorously through the in
side of the shaft it had been necessary
TO widen the doorway and insert a
chute.
For the present there is no danger,
the workmen said. and those who wish
to buy brick from the shaft as a
memento may do so in perfect safety,
provided they have so cents. When all
the bricks have been sold the women
of the Mayors committee will auction
those signed by the President, the Gov
ernor and the Mayor, provided they
con be dug out of their cement beds,
and give the money, with the $500
which the contractor IS paying for the
privilege cf tearin down the shaft, to
n war charity.
