OUR SYMPATHY TO
A BROTHE REDITOR

\ Nevada editor has given part Of
his all to his country. J. Holman
Buck, grand old man OF Nevada jour
nalism. master OF the quip, wioldor Of
the pen of sarcasm, beau brummel Of
wit, stood with barred head and
streaming eyes before the bier Of his
eldest son 4 short time ago. After all
is said and done it matters not how
sou may be endowed with this
worlds goods, material or otherwise
Nature may equip one with cxtraordi-
nary mentality, but the cut Of sorrow
becomes all the more keen because Of
that superiorarity. We venture 10
say that no man could be more proud
to give his flesh and blood In the
service of his native land than our
friend Buck, and yet the poignant
grief must have come home to him
tofold. when he viewed the remains
of his boy. with the thought that the
ravages of disease prevented his sol.
der son from performing a greater
service to his country.
Personally we knew neither Buck
nor his son. but we have known grief,
in its most poignant form. and we can
the feeling OF our brother
journalist, now passing down the
shadowy side of the mountain Of If,
and deprived of the greatest comror,
of all, the presence Of his own.
We bespeak the intervention of
Divine sympathy for our friend. for
he is our friend despite our lack OF
acquaintance; may some other com
fort come into his life that may par.
TALLY remove the soaring sorrow now
upon his soul. and may the thought
that his boy died in khaki hold at
lest some small degree of sweetness
for the bitterness that now must lie
within a heart deprived Of lifc's
sweetest possession, the love Of
child.

There should be no ceasing in your
labor for the Red Cross. Buying a
membership does not fulfill your duty
as a patriot You should buy another
membership and get your neighbor to
do likewise. Or you might pledge a
certain amount monthly for the sup
port of the work of the local chapter.
Or, if you are a woman, you might
devote a few hours now and then in
labor at the chapter headquarters.
What we all must realize is that the
Red Cross must. be supported every
day in the year. We must become pos
sessed of the Red Cross spirit with
the same enthusiasm as prevails in
other communities 1t is squarely up
to us-you and and all OF us-to
keep the Red Cross going.

Sentenced to Work.

Judge Church., IN the circuit court,
yesterday, ordered that four prisoners
who had pleaded guilty to offenses
when arraigned before him work out
their sentences on the streets Of the
city of Rock Island. The men will
be allowed $3.50 per day for labor that
they perform. On this basis one will
work 40 days and the others %. They
have been assigned to the department
over which Commissioner N. E. Juhl
has charge. The commissioner pro-
tests against the innovation on the
ground that the city must make hous
ing provisions for such charges and
must take care of them in the event
of illness overtaking them.
Judge Church has opened the way
for the permanent enforcement of
plan that The Argus long has agi-
tated. During the winter months
there are few days when there are not
as many as 100 prisoners confined in
the county Jail. The majority of them
are able to perform physical labor,
and would be better for it if they
were afforded an opportunity to exer-
else their bodies in the open. But the
idea Of putting these fellows to work
has not been met with favor until it
reached the court Of Judge Church. In
many other cities use has been made
of this idle man power. There is no
reason why similar returns should not
be had from it in Rock Island.
At any rate Judge Church has started
something. 1t may be little awk-
ward in getting the system in salts
factory working order, but if there is
a disposition to support it, in time
every prisoner at the county Jail will
find that he will have a season of SER
vice to perform rather than lying on a
cot and idling out his sentence, get
ting three square meals a day, with
plenty Of literature and smokes and
everything.
Also, if the word went out to hobo
land that those who get in county Jail
here are forced to work out their SEN
fences there would be an immediate
falling off in the guest enrolment at
the institution on Fourteenth street.

The Tri-City Federation Of Labor

The Tri-City Federation of Labor
last night sent letter to President
Wilson urging him to ignore demands
for the resignation Of Secretary of
War Baker This is neat compliment
to Mr.. Baker, and doubtless will be ap-
preciated both by him and the presi-
dent. 1t is charged that the large
manufacturing interests of the nation
are helping to create prejudice against
the secretary because of his fairness
in dealing with labor. 1t is fitting
that the local federation should have
raised its voice in behalf of one who
is not only proving capable member
of the cabinet but is likewise aiming to
do the right thing by the man that
labors for his livelihood.

More Scared Than Hurt.

More Scared Than Hurt.
Letter from reader dealing with
a popular OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ALL
ment:
We find much pleasure in reading
your column and have come to place
great reliance on your medical judg-
ment. my husband is professional
mani. Yet l am coming to you for
advice on a subject that has caused
me no end of worry since our daugh-
ter was born She is now Is years
old. She has always been constipated.
For months no natural or unaided
excavations occur; Il have to employ
enematta or laxatives. Then for
weeks at time the bowels will act
naturally, only to be succeeded by an
other period of months of obstinate
constipation. We have had the advice
of some excellent physicians without
any appreciable benefit. An X-ray
picture Tor several of them threw
no light on the trouble We have tried
about every scheme OF diet, exhausted
the mineral oils and faithfully fol-
lowed courses of the various mild
laxatives. We have insisted upon reg
ular habit Of answering or helping the
call Of nature, as suggested in one of
your talks, but all in vain. l am ter
ribly worried. know that troubles
of this kind lead to about everything
else. The little girl is perfectly well
aside from this troubles doing fine
work in school. Is there no relief?
AS matter of scientific truth, con-
stipation and autointoxication are not
synonymous. Authorization is not
ed in marked degree in great many
individuals whose bowels act with per-
feet regularity. Indeed, the condition
is frequently seen in patients who have
chronic diarrhoea.
Good physicians, some whose prac-
tice Is limited to stomach and intesti-
nal troubles, assert that most OF the
symptoms-headache, that tired feel
ing, mental depression droVsiness,
sometimes nervousness or restless
ness-popularly ascribed to failure of
the bowels to act, are in reality caused
by worry about the failure of the
bowels to act.
We advised the writer of the letter
that her own condition was much more
serious than her daughters. The
daughters health is perfect; we have
the mothers own word for that. But
how long will the mother endure con-
slant worrying?

Large employers Of labor are not
to be permitted to engage women
where it is still possible to provide
men in sufficient numbers to operate
their factories. The newly created la
Dor administration has announced that
Encouragement Of such practice is
to be it's policy and that it is to keep
close watch that no unfair advantage
is taken of conditions created by war
in calling many factory workers from
