Three Epoehs in Woman's Life

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
on her career, the first when she
changes from a care-free girl to a
woman, the second motherhood, and
the third is change of life. Most of
the misery which comes to women
through i'll health dates from one or
another of these periods, but women
should remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is a re-
liable remedy and has been very sue
cessful in overcoming the ailments
which may come to them at these
times, as it is natural restorative
for such conditions. Nearly a half
a century of success entities Lydia E.

ESCAPED THE DRY ROT

having the purpose Of their bettere
ment, must, to be successful, recog-
nize, encourage and provide for the
individual ambition to develop ones
powers, to get ahead. Is this being
done in the case of organized labor?
Thinking men, those who realize
the need of labor organizations, who
appreciate the good work they have
accomplished, who are proud of their
stand against bolshevism, and who
are convinced they must be upheld
within a proper sphere, have never
theless perceived the lack of this fun
damental of success. Grading down,
setting the pace of the capable by
that of the incapable, forgetting the
stimulus of pride in workmanship,
desiring to reduce production rather
than increase or improve it, seeking
to evade responsibility, trying to
avoid competition rather than to
overcome it, failing to guarantee
merit a suitable reward and pro-
motion, these have been seen to be
the dry rot to which labor unionism
is subjected.
No one of the many who have rec
cgnized this condition have expressed
it more aptly than did Thomas A.
Edison, speaking recently to a group
of friends gathered to pay their re-
spects on his seventy third birthday.
At this time, when less than five per
cent of the industries of this country
have less than 4S-hour week
straight time, and when organized
labor, in the face of underproduction
and all the ills incident thereto, is en-
deavoring to force industry into the
44-hour week, Edison's words are
especially significant. He said:
II am not against the eight-hour
day, or any other thing that protects
labor from exploitation at the hands
Of ruthless employers but it makes
me sad to see young Americans
shackle their abilities by blindly
conforming with rules which force
the Industrious man to keep in step
with the shirker. I have always felt
that one of the principal reasons for
American progress in the past has
been that every man had a chance
to be- whatever he wanted to be. - =
To-day am wondering what would
have happened to me by now if fifty
years ago some fluent talker had con-
verted me to the theory of the eight
hour day and convinced me that it
was not fair to my fellow workers
to put forth my best efforts in my
work. l am glad that the eight hour
day had not been invented when I
was a young man. If my life had
been made up of eight-hour days, I
do not believe 1 could have accom-
plished a great deal This country
would not amount to as much as it
does if the young men of fifty years
ago had been afraid that they might
earn more than they were paid.
There ought to be some labor leader
strong enough and wise enough to
make trade unions a means of fit
ting their members for better jobs
and greater responsibilities"

Just after lunch the governor sent

senger, carried the message but met
Lieutenant Governor Cooley outside

the messenger gave him the with

age in his pocket and for the time be-
ing disappeared.
The governor sent a second message,
this time to tho secretary of the SEN
iatc. II was his intention to have his
forces led by Senator Elliott move to
go into executive session when the
Withdrawal message would be pres
ented. This would take Stephan's
name from the committee on educa =
tion and give it back TO the governor.
At the same time Senator Elliott had
a second message from the governor

that the name be confirmed without
going TO "A committee.
