In view of the information given in the
press dispatches that the present labor
unrest is engendered and fostered by
the Russian leaders, Lenine and Trot-

their Indignation toward such trait

ators and Representatives in Congress
a demand for the arrest and sever
punishment of every man or woman
who advocates such terrorism. Your
suggestion for direct action is ex-
actly right.
move that a mass meeting at Mex
leo be called at once and resolutions
adopted voicing the sentiment of Aud
rain County against these agitators
andthat copies of said resolutions be
sent to our Senators and to Represen-
tative Clark.

MINISTER'S WAGE LOW.

Considering the number of hours per

At the in%ter-church world movement

secretary Of the Methodist conference
of Chicago, spoke of the inadequate
salary being paid clergymen.
"The number of ministers of all
evangelical denominations who are re-

on the fingers of both hands," said DR..
Hingeley. "The average salary is be-

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE.

ONE of the questions which will be
given serious consideration in the next
few months will have to do with labor
unions and their right to strike. The
following from the Chicago Tribune
along this line is of interest:
"We believe there clearly are such
occupations-in which public safety,
social self-preservation, in fact, is a
paramount right and superior to the
private right to strike.
But there are vital considerations
which must be respected in the appli-
cation of this principle.
First, there will be a tendency
among those who are injured by
strikes to try to bring as many indus
tries as possible into the class of eS-
s~entials.
"Organized labor will have the SUP
port of the public in opposing any such
tendency. 1t ought to have public
support because it is not the interest Of
democratic society or of human pro-
gress to deprive workers of the right to
strike and thus to defend their interest
except where it is certain this right
cannot be exercised without vital loss to
society. We do not consider steel an
essential in the n justifying a pro-
hibition Of the strike. 1t is essential to
industry, but not in such an immediate
relation as coal, water, rail transpor-
~tation, or police protection. Neither IS
the textile industry in this class,
though clothes are essential. A tenn
porary check on the supply Of these
commodities may u economic loss,
but it does not produce a crisis in the
vital functions of society or endangec
life.
at is also a necessary corollary to
any limitation OF the right TO strike
that it shall not permit exploitation Of
the worker either for private or public
profit. Wherever the right to strike is
limited or denied, the means of obtain
ing redress of grievances or betterment
of condition must be made secure.
The employer must be bound as we'll
as the employe and an impartial
agency for promptly adjudicating diff
ferences and for enforcing the conclus-
ions reached must be set up above the
control Of either direct party"

For A Week Stomach.

If you have a weak stomach you
should eat sparingly of meats and
should be careful to masticate your
food thoroughly as digestion begins in
the mouth. Then take one of Cham
b~erlain's Tablets Immediately after
supper for a few days. 1t will improve
your digestion and insure a movement
of your bowels. These tablets contain
no pepsin but strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions
naturally. Adv.

Women Continue To Learn
Hygiene And Home Nursing
lin Mexico!

How to care for the sick in ones own
home, how to detect symptoms and
thus prevent the spread of disease,
how to read temperature, how to
properly make a bed and how to care
for babies, are only a few of the many
things learned in an elementary course
in Home Nursing as given by Mrs.
C. Kunze, the community nurse. The
course which she gives under the dir
cction of the American Red Cross,
consists in fifteen lessons each n
being a chapter in the American Red
Cross Text Book on Home Hygiene
and Care of the Sick.
Mrs. Kunze is now conducting her
second class in which there are en-
rolled about thirty-five women. They
meet on Tuesday and Thursday even
ings at 1880, and at that time hear lee
lures by the instructor, outline the
particular chapter of the text book on
which they are working and see dem
onstrated many Of the theories they
learn.
During the course three practical
tests on such things as making beds
giving baths, making poultices, etc.
are given, and at the end of the fit.
teen lessons a written examination
covering the work of the entire course
is given. If all of these examination:
are passed satisfactorily and if twelvt
out of the fifteen classes have beef
, attended, a certificate in Home Muir
sing is issued by the Red Cross;
modified certificate may be obtaine,
, without taking the written examin
alton. These certificates do not max
of any one a nurse, Of course; it i
not the aim Of the course to fit wome
for nursing, except in the case of com
, mon minor diseases which are are
g for in the home. 1t is the intention
, only to make women better house

: itary and less helpless in their ow,
homes.

strated to her class.
The class which Mrs. Kunze is now
conducting will be ended about the
middle of November, and she hopes to
be able to start another one immed-
lately. During the summer she in
structed her first class and had the
meetings in Mcmillan High School
every day. There were eighteen who
finished the course and passed good
examinations, according to Mrs.
Kunze.
"1f women and girls only understood
just what the course is and the great
need among the majority of us for
just such knowledge as this, l am
sure they would show more interest IN
taking it. But they have the wrong
idea about it. They think that be-
cause the war is over and the need for
nurses is not SO great, that there is no
need to take courses in home nursing.
That is not so, however. What IS
taught in a course of this kind is al
ways and forever essential to all wo-
men. They need such knowledge
every day"
