painters have bad backs and sick kid

chills and the strain of climbing up

trouble
If your back aches, if sharp pains
strike you in the back when STOPPING,

aches. dizziness, rheumatic pains; if
the urine is discoored or passages

THINKS WOMEN
PREFER HOME LIFE

The young people Of Olivet Presby-
terian Church spent a rather exciting
evening last night debating the question
as 10 whether women ought TO be 're-
bottled" after the war. that is, whether
they should continue in their Industrial
jobs when peace conditions return and
return 10 their homes.
Dr. Joel S. Gilnllan, pastor OF the
church, and one Of the speakers, sum
med up the case by saying that the
choice should be left TO the women
themselves. He thought the home in
stlnct was so strongly developed in
women that they would p. efer 10 return
20 their homes II conditions permitted
no high wages Would have so strong an
appeal TO their hearts as home life
would, he thought In the case OF
many women. lt would be a matter Of
having TO earn their living without any
choice'in the matter, the thought.
There were no judges nor any de-
eision given, but there were a numbe-
OF speakers besides the minister. Lester
r. Haislett conducted the debate. Others
who spoke were Mrs Joel s. Gilnllan,
Miss Alice McIntire, Mr.. and Mrs. Comp
ton, Miss Giverdi, Howard Kimball and
Messrs. Van Horn and Peoples.

fine Americas peace aims, and defer
until later the formation OF a league
Of nations and definition Of the free
dom or the seas.
Sherman, Ills, obtained unonimous
consent to speak and declared that
under the Constitution the Presidents
departure rendered his office vacant
and left powerless to enact legis-
lation.
Sherman resolution, declares the
office vacant for the remainder OF the
term, and provides that Vice-president
Marshall shall assume Wilson's duties.
The Knox resolution states that
''The United States entered TO vindi-
cate the ancient rights Of navigation
