their long service.
Such men are still to be found in
the service, and the good Will ana
friendliness manifested by passengers
toward them must in some measure
reward them. Yet those who are
familiar with the old Pennsylvania
standards cannot help noticing the
sharp contrast with present day
methods, wherein the employees seem
to have adopted the old public-bc-
damned policy which the companies
themselves maintained in Commodore
Vanderbilt's day.
Possibly nowhere does one appre-
ciate small courtesies more than when
travelling nor is kindly action more
promptly acknowledged. One spien-

older men can render and that is to
make it plain to the younger ana
newer element that courtesy pays.

A Solution

How to reduce the cost of living
without reducing the standard of
wages. That is the question which
has seemed to he puzzle to the
economists and the welfare workers,
not to mention, those who aspire to
places of power and decision in gov
eminent 1t has been recognized be-
You'd a doubt that much Of the in
creased cost of commodities and
manufactures is due to the greatly
increased wage scales which have
come to pass within the last three
or four years. 1t is also recognized
fact that these wage increases have
made it possible for those who work
with their hands to have things and
to do things which were formerly
far beyond their reach. They have
better houses, they wear better
clothes, they eat better food, their
whole plane of life has been elevat-
ed.
OF course they have done and are
doing good many foolish things
with their new money and a whole
set of books might be written on the
which present day Americans spend
money. but that is another story.
INT 20 inh cto nd ri
Of living has been developed and no.
body with an ounce of brains wants
to see the standard go backward.
Senator Harding in a recent adj
dress has pointed out that the secret
of bringing down costs without af
fecting the wage standard is simply
efficiency in production. Preach 1t,
write it, insist upon it and practice
it. and bring it to pass throughout
all our borders. Pay a man a good
wage and then make him earn it.
Eliminate the ito hell with it, atti-
tude exemplified in the following sto-
~ from Leslies:
The big boss: Bill. you are our
star worker. We have been together
thirty years. Here are two and
half dozen spoiled ties out of a bas-
ket of four dozen from your loom.
Instead of selling this lot for two
hundred and forty dollars we will
only get ninety dollars for it. You
have cost the firm a hundred and
fifty dollars by your bad workman
ship. but your pay remains at one
hundred per cent. You knew when
the first defect showed what to do
and how to do it. But you went right
on turning out defective ties and
wasting the firms money. What is
the matter with you?"
Bill: law. to hell with it. couldn't
he bothered chasing after machin-
ist to fix the loom"

nality of waste and the value of
honest service, not only to their en-
ployers but to themselves, a good

and it will take costly education, of
the same kind as that for which the
public is now paying. but it will

Dear Sir:
That justice may he done. that the

League of the United States is striving

ords of Americas who left their
country in the early days of the war
to fight in the armies ami navies of

these men.
1t is estimated there we-t 100000
Americans in the English Army,
$4,000 in the Canadian. zoo in the
French Foreign Legion and several
hundred in the aviation service, Ee-
sides hundreds of doctors and ambu-
lance drivers.
Shall we permit their names to be
omitted from the war histories of
their native states? Many Of them
endured the torture of the trencnes
for four years and nobly kept up the
Arhedican tradition.
We wish also to include the large
number of eager men who. rejected

In Lemieux Family are
Benefited by Tanlac
"We Never intend to be Without 1t

INV wife, myself and our little boy
have all been so greatly benefited by
Tanlac, that cannot praise it
enough" said Felix LemieuX, we'll
known farmer, living at Hartford,
Me-
For six years my wife was in
such q weak and rundown condition
she couldn't hardly do bit of work
about the house. Often after being
up for an hour in the morning she
became SO exhausted she had to go
back to bed again. She suffered from
indigestion so bad she couldn't eat a
thing without having terrible pain
afterwards. and bloated up with gas
till she could hardly breathe. She
had special treatment and was in
hospital for time, but never got
more than temporary relief and was
getting worse all the time.
But the first bottle of Tanlac did
her so much good she kept right on
with it until now she is like n diff
ferent woman. Why, she can eat
| three good meals a day now and new
er has a touch Of indigestion. She
is so much stronger she can work all
day and never complains of being
tired, and at night she sleeps like q
child. A few bottles of Tanlac have
done more for her than all the other
medicine which cost me hundreds of
dollars.
AS for myself. last winter had an
attack Of the grip which kept me on
the fiat Of my back for ten days, and
after that I had no appetite and
couldn't seem to pick up strength
| So ! took to the medicine that had
{ done my wife SO much good. and in
u very short time | could eat like a
wolf, and was back on the job able to
work as hard as ever.
Then too my little boy was sick in
bed and unable to eat. He was very
pale and thin and seemed to have no
life. But when we started him on
Tanlac he began to pick right up.
He now eats well, has grown quite
fat and the color has come back into
his cheeks and he looks fine. We
never intend to be without Tanlac in
the house after this, and take every
| opportunity of recommending it to
our friends"
