JOSEPH DRAKE.

When say that 1 weigh twenty
five pounds more than did a short
time ago it speaks volumes for the
merit of Tanlac." said Jos. B. Drake,
43O Belmont Ave, Springfield. Mass.
"The first thing Tanlac did for
me was to give me an appetite and
tone up my stomach. 1t wasn't long
before l was eating things 1 hadn't
dared touch for years and anyone
to see the hearty way 1 eat now
would find 1t hard to believe that a
few weeks ago / was dyspeptic and
living on the lightest kind -ef diet.
Another good thing Tanlac did
for me was to drive the rheumatism
almost entirely out of my system.
In fact, l can tfuthfully say it has
made me feel like a new man in
every way. 1t Certainly is a .grand
medieine."

II you were told that there is in
Rock Island a family Of six souls

But this is q truthful story of
conditions existing in q Rock Is

in the distribution of The Argus
Santa Claus gifts last Christmas.
The children OF this family receiv-
ed remembrances from The Argus

The family consists Of parents
and four childSsa. They are for
eigners and have been in America
only short time. The youngest
child, Is months old, has pneumo-
MIA and it is feared will die.
The family is not complaining,
but the lady who brought the story
! to The Argus believes there is
/, somebody in Rock Island who has
a bed he would be willing to do
nate to relieve conditions in this
little home With the bed there
should be mattress, spring and

Pride Often a Coed Thino

Don't be too quick to condemn
pride. There are lots of worse traits.
And, common belief to the contrary.
certain amount of pride is good for
anyone. Without it, the sum of hu-
man accomplishments would be i'm
measurably lessened. 1t is real
driving force. If you feel no pride
IN what you are doing, you are not
likely to care particularly whether il
is done well or not If you are lack
ing in pride, ambition will find Won
poor material for DEVELOPMENT
Without the belief in yourself, and in
your abilities. that spells personal
pride. YOU will accomplish nothing
Even the dullest and grayest of per-
sonalitics. discreetly stippled with
pride, will contribute something
worth while. tiny as that contribution
may be. Don't descry pride as some
thing despicable, as unproductive OF
good 1t is to pride that we owe the
grandeur Of the peacock's tail. for
without It, we would never see it..

|GOMPERS RAPS
OF
RAIL SHOPMEN

Washington, July 3.-The ruling OF
the United States Labor Board out
having" the railroads unions now on
strike was denounced by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor in statement
issued tonight as utterly Bolshevik
in character" and an attempt by the
board ito disband unions at will"
The ruling, Mr.. GoElpers added. was
"palpabl too rio culous and fatIous
10 be accepted az permanent Ameri-
can government policy"
Freedom of expression" his slate
ment continued. "vanishes under the
order of the board, but l say now
that the workers of America, either
on the railroads or elsewhere, do not
intend to sacrifice freedom of express
sion and of action.
"The law gives the workers. or the
railroads, the right to decline to ac-
cept the boards rulings. The work
ers of necessity declined. The boara
now declares them 'outlawed.' This
is autocracy with vengeance.
Unions cannot be unmade and re-
made at government dictation. This
is neither the Russia of the Black
Autocrat nor of the Red AutOcrat.
This is America, where the principle
of voluntary action, or conference
and agreement, of freedom of express
sion and Of lawful action is rooted in
our soil and grown into our institu-
tons. =.
THE unions exist for humanity,
for the workers, and they cannot and
will not be destroyed at the whim or
fancy of n band of dictators.
II ask whether the board ordered
the directorate of the Pennsylvania
railroad dissolved and a new amen
able board created when that rail-
road refused to obey the orders of the
boatrd? OF cours, it did not, nor
will it in any such case. The rail-
road labor board is seeking to per-
petuate what it believes to be the ex-
listing dominant economic condition.
But the board is mistaken in its an
alysis of modern trends and funda-
mentalS"
