N. Y. League Calls Volunteers
to Oppose characterization.
Defeat of Health Insurance Its
First Big Victory.

Syracuse, N. Y. Nov. ga mil
lion volunteers to fight un-Ameriean-
ism wherever 1t appears"
This is the call of the New York
league for Americanism organized
with state headquarters in this city,
to carry on a permanent campaign for
American ideals and principles.
In its initial campaign it attacks the
American association for labor legis-
lation which has no representatives OF
labor Oh it's governing committees and
which it charges is branch of an
intcl national organization with head
quarters ir Switzerland.
The Importance of this frontal at
tack against this foreign propaganda
distributing agency is shown by the
fact that the American association for
labor legislation has worked in twenty
eight states, including Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut
Ohio, Illinois. Wisconsin, Indiana and
Massa chusetts.
In New York this foreign associa-
ton has sponsored compulsory health
insurance, and the Leag for Amer1-
canism, backed by some of the biggest
men in the state, in industrial and pro-
fessional life, has made the defeat of
health insurance its first task
The League for Americanism In at
tacking this proposed legislation has
started with a typical example of radi-
cal PROPAGANDA, and will follow up its
fight ON this proposal with general at
tacks all along the line on every the
ory which controverts American prin-
ciples.
WaIlop Every Red Idea.
"Our idea is.'' said Carleton d. Bah
cock, secretary of the league, which
already has branch offices in Buffalo
and New York City. "is to wallop the
head of every socialistic idea that is
proposed. The radicals have been
having their own way and the League
for Americanism has decided that the
big middle class should have it's say,
and stop this agitation by the parlor
bolshevists, fhe confessed reds, and all
similar groups. The manner in which
the state is joining our organization is
evidence. that the public has at last
been aroused to a recognition that
counter attack is the only way to stop
this radical campaign.
Health insurance is attacked merely
as a starter. It has been proved a
failure in England, where it wrecked
the fraternal orders without any bene-
fits to compensate the members of
these orders, and in Germany there
has been an increase of sickness and
of the number of days of absence, due
to each case of sickness, since it was
inaugurated. 1t is hard to say what
we shall take up next. We shall, how
ever, make a determined fight to the
finish on any campaign we undertake.

Il haven't time" is a frequent ex-
cuse one hears for neglecting physical
welfare. The Interpretation of that
phrase usually is, "I am too busy
making a living to bother about living
rightly"
Good health does cost money 1t
costs time and thought. Like every
other thing in life worth having it does
not come without expenditure of ef-
fort.
Good health means. among other
things, q proper supply of food.
Hastily eaten meals at irregular in
tervals bring about digestive troubles.
Badly cooked food or diet that is not
we'll balanced in time weakens the
body and makes it prey to disease
germs.
The body must have plenty of fresh
air, night and day. The bedroom
windows should be flung wide open at
night SO that necessary oxygen may be
obtained. Stale air in stuffy rooms
causes headaches. The human body
can live many days without food; it
cannot live more than a few minutes
without air.
Exercise is another necessity. Civ
ilization has relieved US of many bur-
densome tasks which primitive man
had to perform with muscular force.
Our muscles are still pr1mltlVe- Iney

Grownups need play and recreation

With spirit light and free,
While visions sweet of boyhood days
Come ihronging back to me.

In quest of berries red;
Or rest beneath the chestnut tree
While birds are singing overhead.
With boyish glee I seek the lake,
And there in breathless silence wait,
While unsuspecting pike
Are nibbling at my bait.
In JOY I HE me to the swamp, .
And there unsling my trusty gun,
And fill my game sack bulking Ger

CITY TO BUILD HOMES
Louisville VIII Spend Million Solving
Housing Problem.

Louisville Will Spend Million Solving
Housing Problem.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 29.-The set
ting aside of million dollars by the
city for erection of model cottages to
be sold to workingmen at reasonable
rates, is being considered by the
Louisville board of trade. The board
recently received a. report from a
committee which investigated the plan
adopted in st. Louis to relieve the
house shortage.
The st. Louis plan, similar to the
Louisville project, was devised by the
ST. Louis Chamber of Commerce, and
nearly $1,000, 900 worth of stock in
the new Home and Housing associa-
ton has been sold. Construction of
model homes in groups of twenty to
fifty will be started soon, according
to the committee.
