Shun Fake Medicines.

There has never been a time when
"cure alls" and fake remedies should
be avoided as at the present. The sub
ject is especially important Just now
because of the prevailing belief that
some drug is needed as tonic or
stimulant during convaIescence from
influenza. Commercial firms are
grabbing at this chance to exploit va

energy to every one, no matter what

them an opportunity to advertise some.

"flu" while all physicians know that
alcohol itself has never done any good
in that disease.
1t is very true that a tonic NAV be
needed during convalescence, but
should only be used on the advice OF
the physician whose skill carried Won
safely through the attack. 1t may be

But got the message she had pass.

Without bidding me goodbye.
Rest on, dear sister, thy labor is DER
Thy willing hand will toll no more.
A faithful sister both true and kind,
A truer sister you could not find.
Yes | miss you. Oh, how miss YOU
When | see your vacant chair;
But how sad the home is without her
FOR there is no sister there,
She is gone but not forgotten.
The flowers we place upon her grave.
May wither and decay,
But love for her who sleeps beneath,
Will never fade away.
BY loving sister,
Mrs. Annie Henretty.

100000 WORKERS TO Be
NAMED FOR CAMPAIGN
Gompers Says Each of 100000
Unions Are to Have Three Men
in Presidency Fight.

/ Washi ngton, March 30.-Organizod
/ labor rs represented by tho American
Federation of Labor, contemplate put
+ ting into the field during the 1920 po-
litical campaign the largest campaign
committee ever organized. There are
! 40. 900 local labor unions in the country.
| Each of these is being requested IN
letter sent out tonight by the Executive
| Committee of the American Federation
of Labor National Non-Partisan Politi-
cal Campaign Committee, to name three
members to serve actively IN the pollti-
cal campaign.
This is expected to result IN the ap-
pointment Of 10000 members of the
campaign committee by the 10000 unions
These 10000 campaign workers are to
be organized into 10000 separate local
committees, which will be in addition
to the committees to be appointed by city
central labor bodies and other labor or
esnizations. Labor leaders estimated
that there will soon be $4,000 district
committees. with a membership of l50,-
600 engaged in the work OF the non-parti-
san labor campaign.
The interest manifested in the move
ment by labor" said Mr. Gompers,
"surpasses by far the interest in any
previous political effort and indicates
the solidarity of the trade union move
ment in the fight.
IAN example of the manner in which
the campaign is being developed is found
in West Virginia. The Executive Labor
Board of that State has issued call for
n state convention TO be held in Parkrrs-
burg on April | TO devise ways and means
of putting the policy mentional into
effect
Similar action also has been taken in
