Great Losses Due
 to Strikes in '19

New York, May 19.--An incomplete list of direct losses due to strikes in 1919 places the cost to labor in wages at nearly $725,000,000 and to industry at more than one and one quarter billion dollars, Francis H. Sisson, vice president of the Guaran- ty Trust company of New York told the silver jubilee convention of the national associat ton of manufacturers here today. The chief danger in the present situation, MT. Sisson said, is that the desirability of low prices as an end in itself may be so exag- gerated as to lead to the attempt to force prices down through harmful measures for the control of credit.
 The banker spoke at length on in- dustrial unrest, analyzing it's effect on the country's economic conditions and blaming strike levers for high living costs and increased rents.

 AS TO THIS
That Black -Draught is Excel lent for Stomach and Liver Disorders, Hence Its Great Popularity Mississippi Plant
 CTS IndOrse-
 ment

Houston, Miss.-Mr. J. A. Trenor, well-known planter of this place, recently related his experience in using Thedfords Black-Draught. "I don't believe there is better liver medicine made," said MT. Trenor. "I lse it for headache, stomach dis orders and torpid liver.
 "It is not bad to take, does not leave a constipated condition, and so many of the liver pills and medicines do. It does it's work and leaves you feeling like a new person."
 Thousands of others have found Black -Draught as helpful as MT. Ire nor describes, and valuable rem edy for arrangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. It is purely vegetable, having an active effect up- on the bowels, gently stimulating the liver, and helping to increase the flow  If bile.
 Black-Draught has been found to assist in the digestion of food, and relieves constipation in prompt and normal way.
 On account of Black-Draught's long proved merit and immense pop llarity, many limitations are being of- tered for sale. For your own satis- faction it will pay you to insist upon the genuine, and be sure the pack age bears the name "Thedford's Black-Draught."

24-Hour Clock

France has joined the scientific time
dividing countries and now numbers the
"a hours of the day on some newly-in
vented clocks. The hands of these clocks
make the same revolutions that they make
in the clocks of "primitive" people who
use the 12-hour clock face and they make
the circuit twice in the "a hours. In one
the hours are indicated along a spiral
line, being inside the spiral from 0, mid
night, to II o'clock and outside the line
from midday, IL, until % is reached.
The oath hour is marked by 0, the start
ing point.
In another clock the face presents more
of the familiar appearance but it also has
quite novel features. It has two circles
an inner one, black, representing the hours
of night and an outer one, white, for day.
Beginning after midnight the Roman
numerals are in the inner black circle
from to v, then in the outer white cir
Gle from vi to XII. The color of the
setting of the hour thus shows whether
the hour is night or day. Arabic mum.
berals are used on the outer white circle
from Is o'clock until II o'clock when i
continues on the black from 1S to "a

Political Economy
(0onssnssd from page y.

(O0ntSnNed from page ~
Labor is much in need of protective le-
gislation and care. We also affirm that
Capital has the same need. But Might,
because of might, never makes right. The
annihilation of either one would mean the
perishing of the other. Mob law has
never been right from the crucifxtion of
Jesus of Nazareth, down to the latest
coal strike.
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
SELF" and GAIL things whatsoever ye
would that men should do unto you, do
ye even so to them," is the teaching of the
greatest Economic teacher the world has
ever known.
"The house divided against itself can
not stand" Our country once divided,
under President Lincoln rightly settled
the slave question. Again there was di-
vision over the right way to settle the in
satiable appetite of the glutton John Bar
leycorn, and we believe the history of the
future will record that he has been right
ly taken care of. Either slavery or John
Barleycorn left rampant meant National
ruin. Great as were these questions in
their bearing to our National life, the
economic problems now before us are of
no less import. They must be settled as
speedily as possible, but above all they
must be settled right.

Remarkable War Prophecy

The great war was anticipated in de-
tail ten or twelve years ago by the late
General Nogi. Here is what this distin-
guished Japanese soldier said in a speech
delivered at the time of the siege of Port
Arthur:
"The great war of the future will have
Europe as its field of operation, and will
decide the Franco-G German conflict and
the Anglo German rivalry. France and
Germany will perform that decisive part
in the Belgian plains, very probably near
Waterloo. -. The result of this war
does not appear to me to be doubtful; the
French will beat the German on land and
the English will inAict maritime defeat.
This war will be the lsat struggle by force
of arms which will be produced in our
time."-Exchange.
