An irritable and fault finding dis
position is often caused by indiges-
ton. A man with good digestion and
bowels that act regularly is usually
good natured. When troubled with
indigestion or constipation take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. They also
cause a gentle movement Of the
bowels.

i WOULD RATHER


/ would rather go to the forest, far
away, and build me a little cabin
build it mysself-and daub it with
clay, and live there with wife and
children; and have winding path
leading down to the spring where the
water bubbles out, day and night,
whispering a poem to the pebbles,
from the heart of the earth; q little
hut with some hollyhocks at the cor
ner, with their hammered bosoms open
to the sun, and thrush in the air
like a winged JOY would rather live
there and have some lattice work
across the window so that the sun
light would fall checked on the babe
in the cradle-I would rather live
there, with my soul erect and free,
than in a palace Of gold and wear a

| SHOOTING CONTINUES
There has been saootfne n various
sections of the city all day and this
continues tonight, causing dozens OF
riot calls. Most of this appears to be
hoodlumism, without injury to any
one.
How many were killed and wounded
remains largely matter of guess work.
tSome sections in which the most serious
clashes occurred have not been searched
thoroughly and reports conflict as to
the number of casualties which may be
concealed there Two men are known
to have been killed. IA others, eight
white and six negroes, are in hospitals,
OF these, four. two white and two ne
groes, are not expected to survive their
wounds. Sixteen wounded white men
had their slight wounds dressed at one
hospital and departed without their
identity being made known. Many have
had injuries dressed by private physi-
clans at their home

Lieutenant Payne was killed acci-

machine gunners with several other
officers when the party was fired
upon by negroes from a second-stcry
window. Payne and his companions
replied with their automatics and
sought cover Just as Lieutenant

to every citizen of the country to con-
tinue to give his personal support in
this matter and to make it as active
as possible. Let him not only refrain
from doing anything which at the mo-
ment will tend to increase the cost of
living, but let him do all in his power
to Increase the production and further
than that let him at the same time
himself carefully economize in the mat
ter of consumption. BY common action
in this direction we shall overcome a
danger greater than the danger of
war. We hold steady a situation
which is fraught with possibilities Of
hardship and suffering to large part
of our populations; we will enable the
processes of production to overtake the
processes of consumption; and we will
speed the restoration of an adequate
purchasing power for wages.
Il am particularly gratified at the
support which the governments policy
has received from the representatives
of organized labor and earnestly hope
that the workers generally will en-
phatically endorse the position of their
leaders and thereby move with the
government instead of against it in the
solution of this greatest domestic prob
lem.
Il am calling for as early date as
practicable a conference in which
authorized representatives of labor and
of those who direct labor will discuss
fundamental means of bettering the
whole relationship of capital and labor
and putting the whole question of
wages upon another footing
