Makes All Her Own Dresses

Resignation, But Vows She and Hubby and
Children Will Remain True to Tradi-
tons Of Working People,

Berlin, Feb. 1s,-(By Associated
Press.l-The mistress of the Ger
man presidential residence is a
comely "hausfrau" of medium height
and slender, who up to the present
time has always attended to her own
household duties, done the family
cooking and has even been her own
dressmaker. Fray Luise Ebert, wife
of the president of the new German
republic, was born IS years ago in a
workingman's home in Bremen. She
views her new social environment
with resignation.
Il know we must be prepared for
attacks from the right and the left, ("
she said today in discussing the new
position in which the Ebert family
finds itself Those coming from
the left will probably be the worst.
They will charge us with attempting
to extricate ourselves from the caste
in which we have been reared, but
that will never occur. Whatever
may come we are going to remain
true to our traditions as a plain
workingman's family"
The eldest son of the family
Friedrich Ebert, jr., has entered
newspaper work. The second son,
aged 20, was only recently dis
charged from the army. The only
daughter, Amalie, 10, until a short
time ago was employed as a clerk
by a downtown firm. She now ac-
cords herself on occasion the priv
ilege of riding in the presidential
motor car.
President Ebert lost son in the
fighting in Macedonia and another
in the Chemin des Danes opera
tons.
The family up to two weeks ago
had been living in a suburb of Ber-
lin, but now is installed in official
apartments of the department of the
interior in the Wilhelmstrasse,
which formerly were occupied by
high officials. The permanent off
cial residence of the new president
has not been determined upon, and

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper,

Thousands upon thousands of
women have kidney or bladder trou-
bic and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney trou-
Bile, or the result of kidney or blad-
der disease.
If the kidneys ere not in healthy
condition, they NAV cause the other
dreams to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back,
headache and loss Of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous,
irritable and may be respondent; it
makes any one so.
But hundreds Of women claim
that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by
restoring health to the kidneys,
proved to be just the remedy need
ed to overcome such conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle
TO see what Swamp-Roo the great

will do for them. By enclosing ten

profiteering and violations Of various
regulations regarding tho sale of food

alleged foodless situation. Two thou

LONDON, April e.--Labor's new magma
charta, approved both BY capital and
labor through Joint industrial COM
mittee. has brought bright ray OF hope
into Great Britain's Industrial situation.
practically ending tho greatest industrial
revolution IN the history Of the country.
The fact that representatives OF capital
and labor could drop their age old an
tagonisms to discuss their problems
calmly and intelligently and finally to
arrive at satisfactory conclusion
stands out as the greatest economic de-
velopment OF recent years
After Joint debate of only q month
the Joint committee produced pro-
gramme representing the most humane
industrial scheme ever attained by mu-
tual consent. Its main points are: A
national eight hour day, a national
minimum wage, complete and unre-
strtcted recognition Of the trade unions,
responsibility Of the State for tho unem-
ployed and a national Industrial council
In years to come America may well
turn her eyes toward England and con-
slider how the stanch and clear think
ployers and workingmen settled their
tainty between the signing Of the armis-
tice and the actual peace settlement.
When the time comes for a great con-
test between American workmen and
their employers II will be found that
their demands and counter demands are
almost identical with the problems
bravely faced and threshed out by Great
Britain's Joint industrial committee.
The attitude OF the employers, as
stated by Sir Allen Smith. goes straight
to the heart Of industrial England:
I'VE live near to great and wonder
full deeds. We have an example in
those who fought and died that this
ancient shrine OF freedom might sur
vive. It 10 for US TO mako ourselves
worthy of their sacrinces"
This was the spirit In which England
faced and overcame industrial revolu-
ton.

not granted by Wednesday the Ruhr
miners have voted to cease the so-called
emergency work, with the result that the
mines will likely be flooded with water
after the pumps have stopped.
The miners conference has expressed
contempt for those who recently Joined

never be given work in tho future, but
shall he avoided like a pest"

ment' do SO through the council.

ures apply to the entire Rhineland.
