Makes Life Worth Living

@You cannot be Constipated and happy
at the same time. If almost everything
you eat distresses you, and brings on
headache, gas on the stomach, heart
burn, etc, you can easily eliminate
these conditions by taking SEVEN
BARKS, the favorite root and herb
remedy for stomach disorders.
SEVEN BARKS will expel the dis
tressing acids, and dangerous poisons,
and help you back to good digestion
and active health, making life worth
living again.
Do you sleep well? or are you trou-
bled with almost sleepless nights :
While there are many causes for sleep
iessness, it generally happens that de-
ranged stomach, liver or intestines are
the real cause of the trouble. If your
appetite is not good, or food distresses
you, or the bowels do not move daily,
you can get quick relief from these
disagreeable conditions by simply TAX
ing 10 to 20 drops of SEVEN Banks
in little water after meals; this IS
natures remedy made, from the ex-
tracts of Root and Herbs, has stood
the test for. nearly so years, and will
certainly give you a feeling of new life.
If you would have the glow of health,
and Danish the blues. don't neglect to
ask your druggist for Sc We N
BARKS, Costs but SO cents. 9

COSSACKS AS STRIKE

How we'll justified was the opposi-
tiOn of some Of the assemblymen of
New York in opposing the establish

grounds that the troopers, OF "cos-
sacks would be used on the side of
employers to coerce striking workers,
is demonstrated in the labor dispute
at Rome, n. Y, where the metal
trade are in conflict with the masters.
On July IA, the cossacks were dis
patched there at the request of the
mayor to the governor, and on the
following day the New York Times
was able to report glOatingly:
"A few broken heads and the ar
rest of between thirty and forty for
eigners, among the striking metal
workers, put a decidedly different
complexion on things today. This re-
suit was brought about largely
through the efforts Of the state
troopers, assisted by the local police
force and deputy sheriffs. No
crowds were allowed to congregate,
the troopers riding their horses
through and breaking up such as

1T WILL TAKE WORK
To Win Victory Shaft For Newark
Get Busy and 1t Is Ours

The sale of War Savings Stamps
in Ohio has taken a tremendous squirt
Last week Warren County alone sold
more than $4,000 of War Stamps,
Licking County 100000, Ross $685.
600 and Franklin $4,000. The sale
of War Savings Stamps in Ohio to
date totals 1925, 100000.
Warren County during the last few
days has taken the lead from Licking
IN the race Off the $4,000 Victory
Memorial shaft. Morrow County is
third with Ross closely pressing for
fourth place. The contest opened nine
weeks ago and will close August 81.
The memorial will go to the county
selling the largest percentage of it's
1919 War Savings quota during the
months of June, July and August.
The jump in sales of War Stamps
Is Indicative Of the continued popu-
larity of the governments savings
campaign. The new $10O and $1,000
treasury savings certificates are prov
ing very popular, especially among
farmers. Thousands Of dollars of
wheat money are being put into the
new "grOwn-up bonds"

DIVISION OF LABOR

All of the able-bo people il
society are divided for the purpose
of economic investigation in two
classes,-the workers and the idlers
The workers produce goods and serv-
ices in return for the goods, clothing
and shelter that they use. The idlers
use food, clothing and shelter with
out producing corresponding guam
tity of goods and services.
Among the workers there are
again two classes,-those who can
get jobs and those who cannot. At
the minimum there are always about
100000 unemployed workers in the
United States. At times this number
rises to four, five or even six millions.
Those who get jobs produce for, a
wage or salary. The unemployed
beg, accept charity, live on their ac-
cumulations, or starve.
Division of labor occurs among
those who get jobs. In reality, there
fore, what we see in society is not
division of labor but division of pro-
duct. Division Of labor occurs only
among one fraction Of the people,
the employed workers. Division Of
product occurs every hour of every
day among all people who use food,
cIp ch 81
gests that instead of calling it
division of product, we should call
it "a seizure by the strong of the
labor of others" In one of his essays
C'What Shall We Do Then") he
points out the method by which the
idlers seize the product created by
the workers, adding, "We have spe-
cialized ourselves. We have our spe-
cial functional activities. We are
the brains of the people They feed
US and We have undertaken to teach
them. Only in the name of this have
We emancipated ourselves from labor.
Now what have we taught them?
lhey waited year, tens, hundreds
of years. And still We discuss and
teach and amuse one another, and
have entirely forgotten them"
Society has no division of labor.
Instead it has a division of product.
To the workers go subsistence; to the
idlers the first fruits. For these first
fruits the idlers have agreed from
time immemorial to use their minds
and hearts in the interests of society.
Instead they have used their energies
wholly for themselves. What wonder
nat st. Paul and Captain John Smith
and Nicholas Lenine all agree that
"He that will not work, neither shall
he eat"

EVERY LITTLE BIT ADDED, ETC

An old saying has it that "every
little bit added to what you've got
makes just a little bit more"
Which nobody can deny.
Some folks want so much and they
want it in such hurry that they go
out and try to get everything in a
minute-and smash something in the
effort.
That is not the way of American
Labor 1t takes long look back over
a half century of experience and it
picks out the safe, sure way of add
ing little bit more to what it's got
By this method it has kept on
getting-AND KEEPING just a
little bit more right along until today
American Labor has got more of the
real stuff of life and liberty than
Labor in any other country on earth.
There are a few, scattered here
and there, who would like, even in the
face of the evidence, to gamble every
thing on dramatic grab for the
whole works-Whatever that may be
after which paradise forever if the
grab succeeded; the black pit if it
didn't, which it wouldn't.
Samuel Gompers has said many
times that it is American Labor's aim
to make each day better than the day
before. The common sense and sure
ness of thought that lies back of that
simple statement has put the average
American workman years ahead of
the average workman of any other
nation, and nothing on earth can
change that fact.
Sometimes gamblers make big
winning. Most of them then proceed
to lose their winnings. Society and
social progress is not something to
gamble with. Neither is the life of
the Labor movement something to
gamble with.
Think over those sayings, make
each day better than the day before"
and "every little bit added to what
you've got makes just a little bit
more"
