DISABLED VETS
 VICTIMS OF GREED
STATEMENT MADE THAT VocA. TioNAL STUDENTS WORK UNI
 DER ADVERSE CONDITIONS.

Chicago Statements by Col. Chas R. Forbes, director of the United States Veterans Bureau, that condi- tions in private vocational establish. ments for disabled soldiers are "crlm' inal and approximate slavery were denied and confirmed here.
 Vigorous denial came from Charles W. Sylvester, director of vocational training in Chicago, who said there was no basis for including local con ditions in the sensational charges. Men taking federal vocational edu cation in Chicago are not being en slaved, to my knowledge" said Mir Sylvester.
 However, representatives of sol diers' organizations substantiated the assertion by Colonel Forbes that greedy employers-foreign-porn Tor the most part-have exploited the learners" turned over to them TOT instruction. In the small West Side shops and factories, it is said, disabled soldiers, paid by the government have worked out their terms of in struction without being taught any thing.
 MT. Sylvester said the farming. cut" policy, under which disabled men are assigned to industrial plants as apprentices, has made it necessary to put uneducated, foreign-born vet, erans in plants run by men of then own nationalities, where exploitation is not unlikely.
 Removal of all veterans from un' satisfactory plants probably will be the first consequence of the charges made by Colonel Forbes. There have been many instances of men taking training in shops where they were distinct liability. Before the war they were unskilled laborers. They do not use the English language and they spoil materials and damage machinery through ignorance and clumsiness. In spite of this, however, many of the employers keep them until they reach a point where they are worth some thing and then put them on the pay rolls.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita- ble and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to see what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N Y, you may receive sam pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adyertisement.

It was less a woman than an ami
mated scarecrow that broke from a
dense thicket and stumbled into the
mountain trail in the hot blast of
mid morning.
Her cloak was gone and her slip
pers as well; bare and bleeding feet
and ankles showed through the rem
nants of what had been silk stock
ings. Her frock. dripping water from
every fold, thanks to a recent mis-
adventure with brook, was an affair
of shreds and tatterS caked with
splashes Of mud and stained with
green slime; one sleeve was missing
entirely. The barred white arm had
been cruelty scratched by thorns. The
hair falling round her shoulders was
a net of tangles and knots in which
leaves and twigs had become en-
twined. Her face was disfigured with
smears of mud in which tears had
washed pale channels. Her eyes
were red and swollen, her lips pulled,
her look was stupid to the point of
witlessness.
she painted and at times moaned
feebly as she walked-if she could be
said to walk. whose progress was a
zig-zag thing of yaws and veers ike
that of yacht under full sail in a
stiff breeze with no hand at the helm.
In a shallow clearing Of one side
of the trail stood a small shanty of
the crudest kind, crazy structure or
undressed logs and rough planks
weather-beaten to the shade Of slatey
gray. II had a door, however, and
the door was closed. The girl open
ed it simply by falling against 1t. 1t

back into place after admitting her.
The room inside-there was but
one-shOwed evidence Of more or less
recent occupation; half-loaf or stale
bread on the table, some open TINS
holding samples of food from which
an unpleasant odor exhaled. several
empty whisky bottles and ore half full,
emptv cigarette cartons and a vast
litter of cigarette stumps. A frying
pan on the sheet-iron stove held
rasber of bacon in a pool Of coagu-
lated grease. There were tunbled
blankets on a rickety cot in the cor
ner.
The girl saw none Of these things;
or If she saw them, they meant moth
ing 70 her. As II her strength had

shelter Of a roof, she dropped to the
floor and lay there, panting and sob
hing and ouaking nka a child that
has been brutally punished.

chance had led her to a spot where
