tremist views, to be found at Gary
and in other steel towns; there is
no doubt that there is considerable
violent literature" in circulation in
these towns. There is no doubt,
also, after the workers went out,
that the familiar tactics of the strike
persuasion verging always upon
intimidation-did take place at Gary.
All this is true.
Fine, Bright City.
But let US look more CLOSELY at
Gary. Here is a fine, bright city of
some $4,000 people. 1t has an excel
lent Carnegie library, an impressive
Y. M. c. A. building, good churches,
superlative schools. 1t lives wholly
upon mills owned by the United
States Steel corporation. A few of
the workmen, largely Americans, are
highly skilled and we'll paid, often
owning their own houses, sometimes
having few shares of stock in the
corporation. But the great mass Of
the workers are more or less uu-
skilled foreigners. There are AZ
different nationalities, speaking 20
or 80 languages. The majority work
II hours a day and many seven
days week.
To an extent which at first amazes
the inquirer. these are young mar
ried men. Forty-hve per cent of the
Serbiaps and 48 per cent of the
Roumanians in the steel industry
are single men, according to the
United States labor reports. Even
of those who are married large
proportion have left their wives at
home (o2 per cent of the Croatians,
40 per cent of the Italians). They
are strong boys or young men,
largely peasants ga per cent? from
farms in southern or eastern Eu-
rope. About one-third of these men
are Is years of age or under
hardly more than boys-87 per cent
are a. years old or under. The steel
workers themselves assert that a
man is ''old at 40' in the steel in
dustry; that men cannot stand the
strain of the long hours and the
neaVy work. W
Prohibition an Aid to Unrest.
Consider these masses of young
men-peasants, who came to golden
America to make, instantly, their
fortunes. They were willing to work
all hours, all times, where American
workmen would not and could not
work; they got as much money as
possible; in as short a time, either
to bring their wives over from Eu-
rope or to go back there witt, their
earnings The poorest of them
lived, and still live, impossibly
crowded together-sometimes a
dozen men to a room-in the very
cheapest places they could rent

There is no doubt that what Judge
Gary calls "outside agitators" did
come in and organize the steel

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DR..
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DR.. Pierce manu-
factured this Discovery" from
roots and barks "a corrective
remedy, the ingredients Of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping US healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.

LIFE is A FUNNY PROPOSITION

Man comes into this world with
out his consent and leaves against
his will. During his stay on earth his
life is spent in one continuous round
of contraries and misunderstanding
by the balance of the species. In his
infancy he is an angel; in his boy
hood he is devil; in his manhood
he is everything from a lizard up;
in his dctaga he is a fool. If he
raises a family he is chump; if he
raises a small check he is thief
and the law raises the devil with
him. If he is poor man he is a
poor manager; if he is rich he is
dishonest. If he is in politics you
can't place him and he is an unde-
sirable citizen. If he is in church
he is q hypocrite. If he is out OF
church he is a sinner, and is damned

EDUCATIONAL TOOTH TALK-13
Don't Wait

There is nothing spectacular about
the process by which tooth decays.
The microscopic germ, while eating
its way, so to speak, through the
walls of the house that shelters the
nerves, goes slowly; it works its way
through the hard, outer layers and
into the small inner chambers be-
fore the victim knows it is present.
1t is in no hurry, but if left alone it
reaches its goal. Many physical all
ments require quick action; not so
the tooth. 1t may be months before
quick stab of pain warns the pa
tient that the germ has reached the
nerve. A rush to the dentist then
convinces the victim that he has
sacrificed a perfectly good molar on
the altar Of neglect. Care in time
would have saveH u it.-Dr. H. M.

Plaintiff alleges the view Of per-
sons approaching the grade crossing
was obstructed by houses, bushes,
fences, shrubbery, trees and other
objects so that it was impossible for
anyone approaching the crossing to
observe or hear any signal that
might be given until one was almost
on the crossing. On the day of the
accident, it is stated, there was no
sign board at the crossing to warn
travellers of the approach of train.
S. R Muir and David Cline, code

cording to the petition. Negligence
and recklessness on their part by
running train "at high and dang

A Dire Necessity

To the Members of the National Re

This letter tells what should be
none to prevent the commercial and
industrial cataclysm that now threa-
tens this country, which every one
who reads the daily papers must see
is coming, within a pear or two, per.
haps sooner, unless something is done
and done quickly to prevent it

address, predicted it for 1921.
Every business concern that has
ever at any time during the twenty
years since it was organized been en-.
rolled as a member of the National
Reclamation Association, will re-
ceive this letter. 1t should be real,
every line and word of it, carefully,
, thoughtfully, slowly and studiously,
from beginning to end, the moment
it is received
Don't lay it aside to be read some
other time 1t is better to spend a
little time that way right now and
earn that there is a plan to safe
guard against this impending danger,
than to refuse to read, refuse to
think, refuse to be warned, refuse
to build safeguards, and just grope
along blindly with the crowd, and
finally be swept over the precipice
and pitched headformost into a seeth-
ing crater.
