"From many sections" the board as

difficulty does not lie in systematic
strikes, but in the indsposition OF
workers to increase production and to
keep steadily at work. The reduced
output as a result OF very short hours
or the suspension of work given
number of days a week has proved to
be national problem. The disposition
of labor to pursue such a policy is
ascribed by many to high wages and
the desire to employ the increased pur-
chasing power thus obtained in the
purchase of leisure rather than goods

WARNING ISSUED

New York, December 3l.-All wood
alcohol is poisonous and it does not
possess a single property by which any
one except a chemist can distinguish 1t
from ordinary grain" alcohol.
This warning was issued tonight by
DR.. Reid Hunt, professor of pharma-
cology at the Harvard Medical school,
lin a statement explaining the dangers
of the poison prepared at the request
of the American Chemical society. The
only safe course to pursue" since the
sale of genuine alcoholic beverages is
illegal he added, is to refrain from
drinking anything purporting to be
such a beverage
"Poisonousness is an inherent quail
ity of wood alcohol continued DR..
Hunt who Is noted authority on al
cohol and it's effects.
1T is impossible to prepare nom
poisonous wood alcohol"
The odor. taste and appearance Of
the poison liquid and pure alcohol is
"strikingly alike" he explained, and
neither the consumer nor the saloon
keeper, no matter how familiar he is
with alcoholic beverages, can "distin-
guish between them with a certainty
The professor Sid that individuals
vary considerably in their susceptible
ity to wood alcohol. Some die or be-
come blind from amounts which seem
to do no harm to others. A half glass
full he added, generally caused the
, death of the drinker or permanently
blinded him.

MAIN OBSTACLE IN
WAY OF AGREEMENT

the administration senators would be
willing to go in regard to article 10.
NO NEW SCHEME
Secretary Tumulty said the purpose
of his call on Senator Hitchcock was
to obtain, at President Wilson's re-
quest, the latest information about the
Senate situation. He declared he did
not take to the capital any new com
promise scheme, though it is assumed
that the democratic Senate leader took
the opportunity to inquire about Mr.
Wilson's attitude toward compro-
mise.
The meeting tonight of the foreign
relations committee democrats was un-
derstood to have taken steps to reduce
to a definite form democratic proposals
for redrafting the republican reserva-
tons The subject was considered in
the light of the information obtained
during the day by Senators Hitchcock
and Pomerene, and with a view 20
framing programme behind which the
administration forces could unite.
II was the first attempt of the DEM
ocratic members to get together on
such programme. Those who were
present declined to discuss details OF
| the meeting, but said some progress
| had been made.
EAPEOl FAD oOLO llOAN
| Besides Article 10, the majority res
ervation regarding voting power in ;he
League of Nations figured prominently
| in the days discussion. Some admins
| tration senators took the position thai
the reservation would completely dis
qualify such dominions as Canada ano
Australia from voting on any question
Among the republicans. however, ther'
was a feeling that if the Article II
qualification could be smoothed out
| the issue over voting power easily
could be disposed of. Much the same
opinion seemed to be held by both dem
| ocrats and republicans in regard te
suggested changes in regard to Shan
tung and in the preamble requirement
| that the other powers must accept the
Senate's action afIirmatively. 1T wa
declared that while no attempt hat
been made sto settle these issue
while the Article 10 disagreement con-
tinted, there were indications that they
would be rendered much less difficult
once the main issue was decided.

HOBBY FOR SAVING
MARKS LOWDEN RULE
PEOPLE Benefit BY BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION OF ILL.,
NOIS EXECUTIVE.

Gov. Frank o. Lowden OF Illinois
has one hobby in the administration
of public affairs. That is strict econ
omy in the expenditure of the peoples
money. He has given Illinois bust
ness mans administration.
By efficient management he was able
to reduce the tax rate in Illinois 80
per cent in two years, thus saving
100000 annually to the tax pay
ers. Illinois was the only state in
the Union to reduce its tax rate dur
ing the war. In many states taxes
were increased.
While most public executives were
talking about it, Governor Lowden
actually planned and put into effect
comprehensive reconstruction program
for Illinois year before the armis-
tice was signed. Governor Lowden
has demonstrated in Illinois that good
government is profitable investment
for the people. In discussing govern
ment the governor said:
"Our public business is the most i'm
portant of all our business. We too
often say that our private affairs will
not permit us to interest ourselves in
public affairs. We seem to forget that
if government were suspended for
single day our private affairs would
be of no moment-that ruin would
rule all about us. But government
is not automatic. Perpetual motion
is an idle dream in government as in
mechanics"

THIS IS WORTH READING

I
The experience of Mr.. E. J. Tou-
palik, 1888 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: 81 have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
l would catch cold and become so
hoarse l could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter Twas taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time l had
used three-fourths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. It is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheulnatirm,
pins in the back, side and loirs,
blsating, belching gas, Indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some Of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
PE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet c., liquid
form.
