every good American citizen, regard
less OF his place in society or his af-
filiation with others of his class. 1t is
to be an "open shop" administration,
so to speak, toward the success of
which every man and woman will be
invited to contribute. The huge Re-
publican majorities rolled up in in
dustrial communities prove that
President Harding will have the
friendly support of labor in general.
But that support will be given volun-
tarily, and Mr.. Gompers' attitude one
way or the other will have no effect
upon it.

HOW TUBERCULOSIS SPREADS.

Farmers Bulletin, No. 1069, issued bv he U. s. Department of Agricul- should be in the hands Of Con- net.s.cut farmers who are fighting tu- berculosis in their herds. Elimination of bovine tuberculosis not only will help the public to safer milk but will bring profits to the dairyman by 1n- creasing the efficiency of his herd.
 s.The tu1berculous COW is the great est source of danger to healthy cat tle'' reads the bulletin. "Any reacting cattle not promptly removed from the herd constitute a constant source of infection.
 sHTuberculous cattle, sooner or later, begin to give off the germs of the dis ease. These germs escape by the mouth. nose and bowels, in the milk, and other, discharges. The discharged germs are carried in the air for a time until they fall to the ground.
 s"AnimaIs in adjoining stalls may take in the germs in the feed they eat and thus contract the disease Continuous water troughs in barns containing diseased cattle are a source of danger.
 Drinking holes containing material from infected animals are likewise dangerous.
 '.Failure to clean and disinfect the premises occupied by the diseased cattle constitutes another source of danger.
 Infected milking tubes and the practice of feeding calves with raw milk from tuherculous COWS are other means by which tuberculosis spreads in herd"

MEN STILL MISSING IN ACTION
 MAY APPEAR YEARS HENCE

According to The Home Sector, the ex-soldier's magazine conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, there are still be- tween 250 and 300 members of the American front-line still unaccounted for.
 In speaking of this war mystery of missing men the ex-soldier's maga- zine says: Soldiers who go into battle are like men who go down to sea in ships. There are those who return and those who do not, those who dwell for years in a twilight zone of uncertainty, neither life nor death, from which no word ever comes back to the shores called home.
 "A few weeks ago the newspapers of the country announced that there were no more members of the A. E. F. missing in action" The only reason they are not missing in action is that they have been presumed dead.''
 There are still between 250 and 300 members of the American front line Army unaccounted for, who, car ried on the rolls for months and months as missing in action, seems to have disappeared from the battlefield

THOMAS NELSON. A sIGNER.

There are three transcendently great documents of the world. And they are Great" because they have as- sured---and will assure---to man his primal rights that he had when he stood every inch a man in the first morning of Eden, free, under the glad bondage to Law and to God
 The first of these great documents is Magma Charta, which England com pelled the iron-clamped soul of King John to sign on June 15, 1215.
 The second document is the Declara- ton of Independence on July 4, 1776
 The third great document is a League of Nations for Brotherhood, Equal Privilege, Equal Opportunity and the smashing of the possibility of international slaughter.
 Unperceived by themselves, each of the signers of the two great docu-
 nnets, Magma Charta and the Dec Iaration, were working towards a League of Brotherhood.
 A signer of the second' great docu- ment, the Declaration, Thomas Mel son, died on this date in 17S9. Thomas Nelson was born at Yorktown, Vir- ginia, in 173S. His father was a rich merchant, and sent the boy to Eng land for an education. Nelson was educated at Cambridge.
 The quaint mansion of the Nelson family stands today in "o1e Virginny. D Thomas Nelson returned to. America in 1761. When not yet 21 years of age he was elected to the House of Bur- gesses where Patrick Henry had made l his immortal speech. In 1774 he had 1 become q statesman of some note. IT l 1717 he was appointed brfgadier gen. eral and commander-in-chief of the i Virginia forces. His services elicitel
 the personal thanks of Washington
 In 1779 he organized the militia to re

 of it on his own personal security

IS
 BIG FACTOR IN
 SELLING GOODS

While all kinds of advertising are helpful, some advertisements sell more goods than others.
 Many authorities on advertising eX- pound labored psychological theories, as to how copy with sales force can be produced. These theories may be correct But they are not easy to grasp, and the every day merchant and ad writer finds it difficult to ap- ply them.
 The theory of successful advertising is really quite simple, and can be briefly stated. The Times will soon begin publishing a series of Feature Talks on this subject, hoping that 1t may accomplish something in assist ing it's advertisers to realize the full possibilities of good publicity work
 This series also should interest ambitious young people who would like to fit themselves for business suc- cess. It would be well worth their while to take a little time for prac- tice ad writing following the sugges- write a good advertisement is one of the best recommendations in seeking a business position. Good publicity work with the mod l ern touch not merely is an amazing booster for any store, but it helps the whole community where the store is located. It gives the outlying coun- try the idea that a town is full o1 | life, and is in touch with the enter prising business spirit of these hust- ling days.
 The business men as a general thing write excellent specimens of adVer. Using. If they ever fall short of the
 mark, the trouble is lack of time rather than ability. Probably though they will be glad to compare note!
 on this subject, and get a newspape1
 mans point of view as to how an at with sales punch should be done.

How to Keep Baby
 Smiling and We'll
See that the daily functions are regular and normal

\ you can't expect the little
 ones to be happy and play
 ful when the head feels dull and the stomach bloated. The normal habit of children is to be happy and when you notice them cross and fretful you will usually find constipation is responsible.
 Perhaps they have missed that daily function so necessary to comfort and health. Look at the tongue and see if the breath is bad. Watch for belching. These are the ten-tale symptoms of con- stipation. Tonight give little of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which you can buy at any drug store, and it will act in the morn ing and the troublesome symp- toms promptly disappear.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin. Unlike the harsher physics it acts gently and without gripping so that while grownups can use it freely it can also be given to a tiny baby with perfect safety. Thousands of American families would not think

MANY POSITIONS
 SECURED BY K-C
 FOR WAR HEROES

Approximately 193.000 former sold iers, sailors and marines were placed In jobs throughout the country dur ing the year 1919 by the nationwide employment bureaus which the Knights of Columbus established Immediately after the demobilizatton of the A. E. F. and home troops commenced. The work of helping the veterans to get back to jobs was carried on in all the large cities where the Knights established enl- ployment huts and solicited jobs for the men
 The lowest amount of wages which any one of the 1s3,O0o positions paid was SIS per week with a high aver age of $40. The number of jobs se- cared represent a. recapftulation which shows g. weekly payroll ex- penditure of 0,00G,000. All sorts of. novel schemes were introduced by the Knights to find jobs for the men, One of them involved the canvatssing of employers by the soldiers them selves. The men who went out to talk with the business men were paid four dollars per day and had the privilege of accepting any good op- portunity which presented itself. In the smaller towns and cities the work of job hunting was done by the local councils of the Order.
 New York City took the honors in employing discharged service men making room for 24,500 men within a period of seven months. Other cities which did good work were:
 
 Portland. Providence, Jersey City Baltiore, Bangor, Bridgeport, Rich nond, Schenectady, Buffalo, and ofTors

Is expressed In resolutions adopted at
a meeting OF the executive committee

follows:
1T Is the desire OF the Delaware ned
Cross 10 record permanently Its eppre-
cIatlon OF the noble character and high
services OF It's beloved president,
General Charles Bird.
when the National ned Cross was
re-organlzed In 1900. General Bird was
chosen as one OF the Central Commit
tee. and held that distinguished office
In the national organization until after
the breaking out OF the Great War.
With characteristic self-forgetfulness.

lson might have his place on the COM
mittee.
In 1904. when the Red Cross organ,

eral Bird was chosen as It's head. n,

enthusiasm Joined with sound sense
and thoroughness 10 make him beloved
by all who had the privilege OF work
Ing under him lie remained president
and chairman by the unanimous choice
OF the chapter from the time OF hi:

During the Great War. General Bird
visited headquarters practically every
day. and took the keenest interest In
every detail OF the work. He was ever
ready to prefer others TO himself. and
TO encourage the youngest and most In
experienced workers. In the tender
ness and strength Of his personality, he
embodied the ideas OF the Red Gross In
a remarkable degree.
Therefore. Resolved: That the Del

recognition OF the irreparable loss sus-
talned by Il in the death OF It's pres-
dent, and
Further. Resolved: That these resolu-
tions be spread upon the minutes OF
