WHY NOT GO STRAIGHT?
[Cedar Rapids Gazette.J

A movement has been inaugurated
to reorganize the national guard IN
Iowa. The guard should be reborn.
There is need, ungent need, Tor IL.
The reasons given for the desire TO
organize it Immediately are adequate
in the minds of those who are asked
TO do the work The nation needs a
prepared. organized force now as 1t
has not frequently needed it before for
the preservation Of internal ORDER
That does not mean the guard would
be called on to carry policemens paily
clubs, but that it would stand as
moral force which any individuals or
organization. lawlessly inclined, would
be slow to arouse.
William z. Foster, radical leader OF
the steel strike that failed. is not the
only person in this country who is
boring from within" A great many
incipient worm holes have been start
ed. They are growing. And the
worms are multiplying. They are
growing sufficiently numerous to be
making plans for concerted action.
And reports from Washington az TO
what action they contemplate are
serious and SOLDERING indeed. Hence
the request for reorganized national
guard.
Il IL too bad that in Iowa Wa have
gone at the proposition wrong end-to.
AS has not infrequently been the case
before, we have put the cart before the
horse. And the prospects are far from
promising. The whole nation knows
rather we'll what the Iowa national
guard regiment, the 16sth, did in the
recent war. The war department.
knows well enough the excellent clas-
sification of the s7th brigade, Iowa's
national guard troops in the S4th
division.
Now comes the governor Of Iowa in
an effort to form again the national
guard, and he totally and significantly
ignores the old organization. The
guard troops received rotten treat
ment at the hands Of the war depart

LABOR ON THE FARM.
Huntington Hawkeye.l

There Is something wrong about the
farmer and his labor. 1t was reported
from Sioux City recently that farHl
laborers were coming TO town at the
rate Of ESQ per day There was no
more work on the farm and they were
left to shift for themselves. Surely,
there Is plenty OF work that could ana
ought to be done on the farm AFTER
the corn crop Is gathered.
And In q few months the farmer.
will be crying for help again ana VIII
be appealing to all sorts OF OFFICIALS TO
provide them with workers. III they
do not get this help they will be sore
ly troubled and II they get 1t they
will have to pay very high wages, ana
then they will again be sorely troubled
The present system 10 bad for the
farmer, and it Is bad for the far"
laborer. The farmer never KNOWS
whether he will get the labor that ne
needs when he needs 1t, and he never
knows what kind Of labor he Is goinS
10 get. The employer In the city
would not think Of doing business IN
that way. He builds up his workins
force and he Is loath TO lose good
man.
Tho farm worker who Is not steadily
employed. will in the course OF time
become a wanderer, a HOBO, ana
thru no fault of his own. He must
seek work In other parts OF the
country.
II would In the long run prove
profitable for all concerned II the far-
rner were TO employ his labor by the
year, insteal of by the busy season.
If he kept the men or most Of the men
the year round. he would have them
at hand any moment when they were
needed, and would not have to spend
DAYS and weeks seeking them. II
would be profitable for everybody
And the man, who got steady twelve
months in the-year Job In the country
could work for less than the other
who would be employed when tho need
Is most urgent and the work 10 the
hardest,

A DECIMAL POINT IN HISTORY.

New Years day, 1920 not only be-
gins a new year. It Is a decimal point
between epochs. All things have not
become new nor have oil old things
passed away but are in q state flux
with the old and the new together in
the crucible. The war is over and is
not over. Labor troubles are settled
and not settled. National and inter-
national policies are and are not In
ternal difficulties rise and fall like the
waves Of the sea, now quiet and
hopeful now rough and threatening.
Business and commerce sail with the
wind behind but within sound of the
breakers. 1t Is a new year with much
to be done and more to be maintained,
with mighty prospects Of good and not
less mighty opportunities Of evil THIS
Is q New Year day to b taken Sc
riously and whsrstrom to look forward
in all purposefuInsss and sssiousnAss.
For the coming year must not merely
be constructive; upon It II laid the
burden OF preservation Of policies and
traditions essential TO the future safety
and prosperity and even 70 oit.seaship
Of the nation.
Mems minds on this New Years
day are In a state to match physical
conditions. The winds Of opinion drive
here and there, cross currents Of do
siro and interest veer and drift across
the course alike Of the greater ships
and the cockboats Of lesser under
stan dings and mentalities. It is hard
to steer q straight course. Yet dis
aster wa!ts on either side of the true
direction.

Everyone Should
 Drink Hot Water o in the Morning
Wash away all tho stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before
 breakfast. e. t.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gas sy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says well-known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate i'll it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the en- tire alimentary tract, before putting moro food into the stomach.
 Get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost taste less, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphat- ed hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweeten- ing and purifying, s2 limestone phos- phate and hot water before break fast. act on the stomach, liver. kid neys and bowels. -(Advertisement)
