man, woman and child IN the United States
In his list of luxuries ex-President Eliot
includes tobacco, $1,000, 100000; jewelry and
plate, $780, 100000; automobiles, $500, 200, 900;
confectionery, $500, 100000; soft drinks, s12O,-

ence of opinion as to whether all of these
things should be classed as essential.
Even in war time some OF them were not so
regarded. But the fact remains that this lux
ury bill is almost equal to the nations food
bill and the amount spent in intoxicating
liquors is nearly double that expended on
education.

The Shin Yards Strike.

Seen from this distance the strike Of the
chip yards workers on the Pacific coast seems
foolish, to say the least. These men have been
getting good pay, even considering the high
prices Of the things they have to buy. Surely
it doesn't cost much more to live in the coast
states than it does here and dollar hour
for minimum wage in any industry in Rock
Island would be manIfestly out of proportion
and unfair to the great body Of men and women
who earn their living in other vacations. No
body begrudges workers good wages for honest,
competent service, but it is not right for any
organized body to try to monopolize all the
prosperity simply because It has the power
to do so.
The worst feature is that such a strike
as that on the coast Injuries the whole
union labor movement 1t is particularly true
in the case Of the ship yards workers because
they are working for the government, and if
the industry faf1s to pay out the deficit must
be paid out of the public treasury.

Brad's Bit O. Verse
Pluck Wins.

We talk about fortune. we 20 by
the signs, We are always complain
ing OF luck; but the thing that We
need is 10 cut out the whines, and
develop little more pluck. The
stars in their courses may fight on
our side, and tho fates may kyoodle
and grin; we may follow the path
where bright promises guide: but
we'll have to have pluck if we win.
Oh, pluck is the thing that makes
victory sure. that shows us the way
to the goal, the thing that sustains
Us and makes us endure when
around us the storm pillows rOrS,
Though days may be gloomy and
nights may be long and clouds may
hang heavy and low, pluck tells as
to hustle. and MARBLE a song, and
to boost and to help as we go, T.
brings a bright tinge to the drcari-
est skies, it drives away darkness
and fear. it shows US the pathway
and points TO the prize and gives US
our hope and our cheer. We talk
CT our destiny brilliant and high.
we invite the dear fates to come in,
We expect to make good in the
sweet by and by-but We'll have to
have pluck If we win.

Father and sister were astonished

priscilla was alone with Walter
in the library. She was on the
point OF telling him Of the change

the room which Allen Blair had oc-

chest and returned to his own

"Oh. 1 see it air" breathed Dris-

two thousand dollars.
She could hardly wait until
morning to tell her father of her
discovery. Then, just after break

In our family We have a rare

ma. This disease was Inherited.
The mother had it and died when
under middle age. One daughter
now 80 and one son now SO have
had the trouble most OF the time
since childhood. They have spells
Of severe vomiting. throwing up
much bile. the spells accompanied
usually by swclliuSs Of hand or
foot or face. Two or three spells
Of swelling Of the throat have oc-
Cured, almost straugliGg the suf-
ferer 1t takes about "a hours to
get over a spell. The sufferer is
very irritable and ilI-naturcd dur

have suspected gallstones and ap-
Pendicitis when attending the pa
tents in these spells, but X-ray

specialists failed to disclose any in

Edema means swelling, Anglo

means Of or pertaining 10 nerve
function. So angio-neurotic edema
is swelling due to disturbance of
the nerve control of blood vessels
in the affected region.
The swellings resemble giant
hives, but are not itchy. Some
times the eyes or one eye will be
