part of the country in the summer
the country had been here to explore
as she would. With some difficulty
she managed TO wriggle over the fence
and was soon working her way down
a gentle slope heavily overgrown to
where her quick ear had caught the
gufgle and tinkle of water falling over
rocks In moment she was standing
beside a clear. deep pool fringed by
green rushes, formed by natural da m
which had set back the waters of a
tiny brook. She smiled with delight.
And then her smile changed to a
frewn, for beside the pool she saw an
other notice board. She approached
and read it:
NO SWIMMING ALLOWED!
Neither of the boards had carried
signature. What a mean man it
is who owns this place thought Mar
jorie. He keeps people off and puts
up all sorts of notices, and won't even
put his name ON them. Well, l don't

Getting the individual employer to
use scientific methods of handling his
employees is largely a matter of eduea-
ton, and can only be accomplished
gradually, it is realized
The most practical scheme which
the conference has urged upon the
country for quick results is 10 estab-
lish organizations in the states ana
cities to study the local labor condi-
tons. Some of these organizations
have established public employment
bureaus. Jobless men are registered
and connected with such work as the
city and employees of labor can find
for them.
About half of the states have en-
ployment committees and bureaus.
Some are better organized than others
Ohio and Wisconsin have particularly
good organizations.
There is need beside these for a
federal public employment bureau.
Miss Tarbell and other members of
the conference believe. Mr.. Gompers
compared the possibilities of such a
bureau to those of the weather bu-
reau- It would keep in touch with
employment conditions all over the
country and send out regular reports.

BEGINS FIGHT
ON RADICALISM

Rome. April 25.-United Press)
-Italy's finish fight on radicalism
began today.
Tickets for candidates at the par
liamentary elections to be held
May Is, closed today. The issue
was to be fought out by the consti-
tutionalist parties in coalition
against the radicals.
The defeat Of the Socialists was
practically made certain when the
other parties merged but the COM
ing three weeks of bitter campaign
ing are expected to bring bloody
clashes.
The Constitutional parties have
the support of the Fascist, who
admittedly are a dominating ele-
ment.
The Populists. or Clericals, ap-
parently will run second to the
coalitionists and following them
will come the Republicans, Com
munists and Socialists.
The Socialists succeeded in fill
ing tickets in only a few districts
where the Fascist are not strong.
The socialist congress which
meets May 5, is expected to declare
that the party will not participate
in the campaign. The party lead
ers are expected to order the resig-
nation of its 1900 municipal and "a
provincial administrations in Italy
1t is believed that the Socialists
will endeavor to elect candidates in
Rome, Milan and LeghOrn to form
a small block to join the other
groups to demand immediate disso-
luton of the new chamber on the
ground that it represents only the
bourgeoisie.

couldn't use my arms at times.
Why, l couldn't even lift a dish.
My whole body was sore to the
touch and sometimes l couldn't
bear the weight of the bedclotheS
pressing on me.
my stomach was in awful con-
dition, too. and everything I ate
soured and formed gas that would
rise in my throat and choke me. /

getting relief was about ready to
give up but lucky for me heard
so many people talking about Tan
lac I gave it a trial.
Il am like different person
now, haven't a pain or an ache and
feel as well and strong as l ever
did in my life. l am as happy as
can be and it's all due to this Won

to suffer when all they have to do
is to get Tanlac and be strong and
