incorporation Of Trade Unions
BOOT and Shoe Recorder

Boot and shoe Recorderj
The trade union should be COM
PEELED to come within the operations
Of the law. as all other corporate
bodies are; and until this is done
there can never be peace and stabil
ity in industry. nor constancy Of
work and wages for the worker.
Once responsibility and obligation
are made compulsory by law what
will result?
The union will be inspired and
guided by the moral standards OF the
individual worker. The union Will
be a real democracy, and not the cor
poration described as an organiza-
ton without a soul to damn or body
10 kick. Responsibility will bring
prudence if not wisdom: leaders will
be chosen with more discrimination:
all contracts and bargains will be
made with caution and the knowl-
edge that once entered upon they
must be lived up to: ard strikes as
cures of evils. if they come. will only
come after elaboration and weigh
ing of consequences, and not as the
result of impulse. whim. passion or
the malice of the few.
Compulsory Incorporation OF trade
unions means no loss Of rights priv
ileges or security 10 the collective
body: it does mean an increase Of
dignity. standing and importance to
the union and its membership: il
does mean a steadying Of the econ
cmic ship. a promise Of enduring in
dustrial peace and a better day for
employer and employee

OFFICIAL TOTAL
In LOAN DRIVE,
QUARTER BILLION
Officials Believe Subscrip-
tions Will Actually Reach
Half Billion
By associated Press.

Washington, April Ga A quarter
OF billion dollars has been sub
scribed to the Victory Liberty loan
and officially reported through banks
and Federal Reserve district head
quarters to the treasury. This COW
ers probably only the first two days
of the subscription period which
opened Monday, and does not include
the millions of pledges on which sub
scribers are taking their time to pay
the initial instalment. Neither does
1t include officially recorded subscrip-
tions which have not been tabulated
by banks or which are in the process
of being reported to district head
quarters, or compiled there.
Omcials are inclined to believe that
the actual subscriptions already gath
cred by the millions of volunteer loan
workers amount to at least a half
billion dollars.

Strasbourg Storks Are
Back to Nests Left by
Them in Spring of 1914

Strasbourg, Alsace, April "a
Storks, which ceased their annual
visits to Strasbourg in the spring of
1914, returned this week to the old
nests on building on the left side
of the Place de Broglie, in the CEN
ter of Strasbourg. Several of the
birds, the first in five years, now
occupy the nests.
Their unexpected return in the
present circumstances is comment
ed upon with pleasure by the ma
tive population, who have always
held that the storks brought good
luck.
The building to which the storks
returned IS next door to the house
in which on April 25, 1892, Rouget
de Lisle first sang the "Marseil-
laise." The Bank of France re-
Gently has established its offices in
the building with the stork nests.
Before the war the presence of
the storks in Strasbourg induced
many American and British tourists
to come here to view them.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub

bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by
all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening.
gripping cathartics are derived from
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. NJ. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are pure.

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it; no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.
