Sioux Falls. July An action by

Der of the local Syrian colony, has

LABOR AND BEER.

or the hundreds of tabor unonists

that the majority would vote to have
beer or other liquor restored, since
they have found it quite easy to do

money to spend for useful purposes,
or for pleasures OF other character.

at Looked Like a Sponge Writes
the Noted Poetess, but IL

1t was the late Sappius Peterball
who wrote the classic, 'Idleness." 1t
came to him as an inspiration and it
has afforded inspiration to thousands
who have read it. Now comes Ella
belle Mae Doolittle, the noted poetess
of Delhi, with another great poem
which will inspire thousands, possibly
millions, nthe years to come. 1t is
entitled, Fright and it came into
being just last Wednesday as the re-
suit of an accident. The story is told
here for the first time. and accurately,
too, so historians need not hesitate
to embody this account in their writ
ings.
Miss Doolittle had been to Hodge
blooms peanut stand for bag of the
goodies and was on her way home to
play a few afternoon strains of jazz
on her piano. AS she started across
Rosebud avenue she thought she saw
a sponge in the street. At the mo-
ment she was talking to Miss Cissie
KerZa2Zas.

noted poetess, with her eye on the OBJ
ject in the dust. Il see something
and it shall be finders Keepers
With that Miss Doolittle stopped
and grasped the object. Then came
fright. 1t was not a sponge, but, y
live hop-toad. 1t gave one leap and
landed in the street As the fair girl
stood frightened the hop-toad bumped
away, each leap being more pictur-
esqhe than the preceding one.

TELEGRAPH SERVICE.

The labor troubles IN the telegraph
business and threats of a nation wide
tie up of the Western Union service,
may not be quite as serious as recent
threats of a general telephone strike.
The telephone, which enters so many
of the homes, and most business Off
ces. is a tremendously intimate ele-
ment of daily life. Yet the telegraph
munication. 1t was a great system
and an intimate element in daily bust
ness at a time when the telephone
was only a dream.
Today millions of people use the
telephone every day, who would not
perhaps use the telegraph half a doz-
en- times a year.
Yet the telegraph does its very i'm
portant share of wire communication,
and its business is rapidly increasing.
The clear, definite click of the tele-
graph key conveys a message with
sharp accuracy, and the element of
human mistake is reduced to a mini
mum. OF course operators do be-
come faugued and careless, and their
brain and hand fails to record the ac.
ton of the key. But the element of
error in the telesraphic news in any
newspaper is small. remarkably so
when you consider how much news
matter passes over the wire.
As wealth has increased and people
get into large ways of doing things
they use the facilities of quick COM
municatiOn more freely There are
so many mail delays that many bust
ness firms are using the telegraph
for certain classes of communication
for which letters were formerly dis
patched.
Both parties to this controversy
should feel that the public has a right
to uninterrupted service. While both
the newspapers and business houses
can substitute telephone communica.
ton in case of emergency. the long
distance telephone wires might be
swamped by the volume of business
they would get in case of a nation.

WHEN YOU WAKE
, UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the polsons and toxins from
system before putting moro
food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impure
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generals
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on bathing.

Virginia and Kansas (all dry) and the
city organizations of Seattle, Chicago
and Kansas City (Kans.) went ON rec
ord as favoring prohibition.
Some of the trades, including the
painters, stereotypers and garment
workers also lined up with the drys,
while the typographical unions divid-
ed over it, The fight against the res
olution was led by the Seattle con-
tingent, whose spokesman asserted
prohibition has helped the labor or
CARNATIONS and wage-earners in their
city.
Gompers, like President Wilson, has
been abroad for some months ming
ling with nationals who are addicted
to light beer. There are large num-
bers of foreign workmen in this coun-
try who have the drinking habit in
vogue abroad and accustomed to beer
as to bread. American workmen. to
great extent. have the same habit
but at least away from the centers of
industry they do not make much fuss
about giving up drink. In the dry
states they have adapted themselves
to new conditions without turning
Bolsheviki.
The fear of Gompers that depriva-
ton of beer would turn the labor
forces into reds" and endanger the
country seems to be absurd to those
who know the average workman the
country over, to be a sensible, sober
man, who regards beer as enjoyable
but not worth fighting about after a
majority of his fellow citizens decide
to Danish a traffic that hurts more
people than it helps.
American workmen and voters
thrash out opinions upon prohibition
and other ideas in election campaigns,
and accept the majority decision until
another election comes. when they
reverse or not as they will. But they
do not resent changes by violence.
If the president, congress and the
state legislatures stand by prohibition
and the people wish to go back to old
customs, the advocates of beer may
elect bodies to amend or repeal the
restrictions.
But turn revolutionists, become
bomb-throwers, endanger the govern
ment for beer or because minor
personal right" is denied. Never!
