Regular Habits Produce
a Beautiful Complexion
Daily elimination rids the system Of poisons.
Women should realize that!

n TANY women complain
MI daily Of their complexion,
= of their headaches and gem
eral i'll health, little realizing
that the trouble is constipation.
Women, too, are much more sub
ject to such congestion than men,
and much more careless Of it.
The result is seen in lusterless,
4 weary eyes, in sallow, pimply
complexion, in lassituGe, bad
breath, and in that word so often
used, ''indisposed." 4
AT the FIRST sign of these symp-
toms the wise woman will take a
laxative, and will see that the
young girl and others in her care
do likewise. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is tho favorite with thou
sands of women because it is mild
and gentle in its action and in the
end trains the stomach and bowel
muscles to do their work naturally
without the aid o. medicine.
This combination Of simple lax
alive herbs with pepsin, which can
be bought at any drug store, is
also a very sterling tirst-aid in
colds, fovers and other sudden ills

PREACHERS SON NEARS

Hervey B. Coppedge Narrates for the
Post-Dispatch Readers His Impress
sions Of an Airplane Flight Last Sat-

flight in a Curtis bi-plane, piloted

two weeks.
had a number OF reasons for
wanting to make the ascent.
Ever since I was a small boy |
have envied the buzzard-not his
ability, however, to extract nutri-
rent from the putrid carcass of
some dead animal-but | have
always envied his ability to sail
the ETHEREAL heavens and gaze
down and mock mans puny
efforts to go from place to place.
And then, too, for the same rea-
son that "the bear went over the
mountain" Ito see what he could
see.)
| have often gone into the bust
ness establishment of our es-
teemed townsman, Squire A. P.
Barrett and listened to his ex-
tended argument that the earth
is flat, and though Messrs. Al
mond Dunn, Will Everett and
myself, not to mention other
prominent scientists, contend
that it is round, still Squire Bar
rett has amassed such an array
of facts, Biblical and otherwise
that he is still able to more than
hold his own in an argument Of
this kind with the most astute
minds of the day. So, thinking
| might get some light on this
much mooted question, too, by e
good survey of Old Mother Earth
from above, | of course, was glae
to be able to look down on the
scenes of my boyhood fromanaltl

but alas, it only the more con

TREAT With BUSINESS,
But: No + (. .'WI1H UNIONS

Protests Of Garyites would rock the
nation, and some business men would
have heart disease, if the government
suggested that they sign an exces-
sive wage agreement with committees
representing their employees and in
structed district attorneys to prosecu e
ON ployers who failed to pay this rate.
But it appears: to be both LEGAL and
moral for the government to sign q
price agreement with committees rep
resenting sugar producers and to in
struct a district attorney to prosecute
those who charge more. than the price

ExPloDES BONUS and
PIECE WORK SYSTEMS

The labor correspondent of Rev
nold's Newspaper of London. pre-
sents these views on the fallacy of the
piece work system:
In theory piece work and payment
by results are quite attractive sys-
TENS, in practice, however, they fall
far short OF their promise. A basis
time for the Job is fixed, and bonus
offered on Jobs completed under this
basis time. As soon as the worker
promises to draw high wages the ten
dency to cut time and prices down
commences, until they fall below a
reasonable minimum which the trade
union assures. 1t is the application
OF the system by interruptions en-
ployers that has caused the unions to
fight the question of payment by re-
suits and similar systems.
Another factor which has carried
great weight with the workers In
their fight for a standardized wage
is that the bonus system means that
while the physical giant might earn a
living wage, the weakest employees
must go to the wall. The fact that in
practically every industry there has
been reabsorbed number of men
BIZ oxen by the war, who must be safe
guarded, has the tendency to increase
the determination Of the unions to re-
sist the employers attempt to force
an issue on this question before con-
sidering the consolidation of WAGES,
annual holidays and other outstand-
ing questions"

SACRIFICING AMERICA.

People may differ as to agents
and motives, but there is no doubt
that America is being sacrificed and
her fundamental interests disre-
garded. The effect is as if some
European country had conquered us
by force of arms and had mapped out
a comprehensive program of exploit
alton.
With the rates of exchange pre-
venting European buying here, we
ought to be doing all we can to make
our prices low and to make freight
rates to Europe low. We would be
able to recover our foreign trade
the sooner. But we are doing and
opposite.
We are sacrificing our govern
ment-owned ships with the obvious
result that they will fall into the
power of the English ocean freight
combine.
We are turning back the railroads
to private exploitation with provi-
sions for large loans and big rate in
creases to enable private ownership
to make a profit.
