SPRING AILMENTS
Relieved by A WeIl-Kncwn Medicine
OF Superlative Merit.

Spring ailments are due to an I'M
pure, impoverished, devitalized con-
dition of the blood.
Among them are pimples, boils
and other eruptions, loss Of appe-
tite, that tired feeling, run
down condition of the system, and
sometimes chronic weaknesses made
worse.
Hoods Sarsaparilla combines the
roots, banks, herbs, berries and 9th
er medieinals that have been found,
in many years of intelligent obser-
walton, to be most effective in the
treatment of these ailments.
Successful physicians prescribe
these ingredients for diseases OF the
blood, stomach, liver and kidneys,
and in cases where Alternative and
tonic effects are needed,

Cool-Headed City Employees
Will Avert a Strike
By BILL PRICE.

The White House, in desiring payment of the highest
possible wages to employees of the District government
taking position the Presidents for years
having been in that direction But the White House has
sympathy for strikes directed against Government the
public and the President would doubtless back the Com
mssioners in stiff attitude should the members of the City
Employees Union be unwise to order strike against
municipal agencies affecting the daily necessities of the
people.
Therefore the leaders Of the union who have retained
cool heads will decide to whether they likely
obtain higher wages through inercession of the White
House with the Commissioners by striking The latter
will ALLEVIATE the White House entirely. President
WILSON stood squarely behind Commissioner BROWN
LOW when the latter took his stand against local police
man union reservng strike rights to itself He, doubt
is still of the opinion that union of city employees which
the right to attempt to tie the functions of the
municipality is not proper organization and should be
handled forcefuly if it carries out its threats
The union may get what it is asking if it willingly
leaves to the White House and the Commissioners further
consideration of the question 1t cannot hope to get
anything by strike Right wrong, the Commissioners
cannot afford to yield to strikers against the government of
the Federal Capital They afford to yield to just
requests and demands made in orderly and proper
Moreover they should do if facts Justify The Commis
soners cannot hold out against paying good wages
paid by the Federal Gvernment in the navy yards

Unfair to Army Bands.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
/ don't think that the reorganiza-
tion or increase of pay was Of any
great help to the army bands. Ger
ta.nly il is not any inducemcnt for
a nan in the company to change 10
the band nor for n musician en- the
outside to come into the service. It's
a cinch 1t won't help toward inducing
a man on he inside with seryi,e TO
re-enlist Forty-three dollars a
month doesn't look big to the out
slider. Neither does it to the man on
the inside looking out. There was a
time when third-class musician
drew' nine dollars more than the pri-
vate in the company. There was an
incentive then for the man in tac
company to try to make the band.
Now the difference is 50 insignificant
that it isn't worth while botherirs
with. In fact, it is better for the
man in the company to stay where he
is as with a little attention and good
behavior he can make corporal or
sergeant inside OF six months.
The base pay of assistant band
leader and sergeant bugler used to
be SIS per month. Now it is reduced
to s45. the same as band sergeant.
Before the change these three posi-
tions drew s4S per month and the
first sergeant S51, n difference of
So per month. Now l believe the diff
ference amounts to so. That's the
kick--thc three positions, sergeant
buglcr, assistant leader and junior
sergeant major should have been
placed in the second grade.
The Marine Band is shining
example OF real musical organiza-
ton. The members are paid like mu-
sicians. not like ordinary soldiers.
why not treat the army likewise?
why not pay the band like musicians
and try and improve them. The
bands today are in worse condi-
ton than they have ever been.
OLD TIMER.
The Washington times., 1920-08-03

Some corporations measure their
profits upward of $1,000 per day.
How does that compare with the
workers pitiful demands in these days
of II. c. L.? What is a fair days pay,
anyway? Should it be enough to pro-
vide necessaries, education, pleasures,
and a little for the rainy day? And
has 1t ever been THAT much? Has the
employer of labor so much greater
right to the many pleasures OF life
than the worker who makes it possi.
bic for the employer to live without
doing hard, manual labor?
Capital, at this time, is very much
disturbed because, for the first time
in the history OF mankind, portion
of the workers are getting just a
little more than bare living. They
complain that the people are spending
their money foolishly. All right, but
can they be much blamed for spend
ing money freely after many genera
tions of bondage, poverty, and priva-
ton? And are they half as foolish
az rich mems sons, with their college
educations. when they get a strangle
hold on dads rollr"
Labor can and will be unjust, IL it
ever gets chance, but it will never
be as unjust as Capital has been or
will be again, because neither will
again have a chance to strangle each
other while the public looks on and
suffers. Labor's apparently eXorbi-
tant demands are held up to public

been quoted as saying. relative to
the increase Of crimes of violence or
revolving details throughout the
United States: This is due to the
kind of whiskey that criminally in
clined persons drink. 1t drives them

II that were true. it is in itself an
arraignment of prohibition. AS a
matter Of fact, over sixteen centuries
of simon-pure prohibition in Turkey
clearly point out in countless exam
pies crime of the most revolving kind
in every degree is simply an after
math of prohibition. Prohibition is a
breeder of immortality. Law evasion.
law breaking, and contempt for law
follow prohibition just as sure as
night follows day, and compfate
prohibition in the United states
spells degeneration for the whole
country.
To those who have studied and
analyzed the immoral and criminal
effects OF prohibition upon a mass OF
people. the foregoing harsh facts are
known to be well within the bounos
of truth, and as time goes on the
United states will learn to its sor-
row the truth OF this arraignment.

Wants Manufacturers To Make
Comfortable Shoes.
ihitnr Of THE TINES

To tho Editor Of THE TINES:
You would hardly believe me IL I
would tell you I haven't worn a real
comfortable pair Of shoes for fifteen
years. Up to that time ] wore the
same style shoe and bought 1t from
the same store for about twelve
years. At that time they changed
the style from straight to crooked.
My toes are straight, and the shoes
are not comfortable. IT seems that the
managers or foremen OF shoe fac
tories are the poorest designers and
use less judgment than men in any
other factories. They seem to think

formed feet Now n straight foot In

Warns Americans to Beware of

To tho Editor Of THE TIMES:
Americans should take solemn heed
of the advice of Admiral Benson and
not permit England to pull the wool
over their eyes," for in international
relations the truth, unless 1t suits
them, which II rarely does, is stranger
to British statesmen and diplomats.
even from the "nimble opportunist,"
Lloyd George, down to the meanest of
her exceptionally mean secret service
spies. Americans, their country, their

cule and scorn in the English press
even outside Horatio Bottomley's

The writer lived in London for
eleven years and during that period
heard and read sufficient evidence to
proye beyond the shadow OF doubt
that there Is nothing but hatred and

Englishman for Americans. 1t be-
