WHAT AN OUNCE OF GOLD BUYS
IN LABOR

Reprinted from The Valve World.
One ounce of gold buys 1882 hours
of labor in the United States, 50.16
hours in Great Britain, $3.50 hours-in
Japan, 1871 hours in France, and
POI. sc hours in Germany. These fig
ures were given recently by C. ]. Han
non, member of the Births parliament,
quoting statistics before the National
Union of Manufacturers in Birning-
ham.
The figures are interesting for pur-
poses of comparison, especially by the
worker in the United States. He must
know that he comes, indirectly at least
into competition with the workers in
the countries named, and that those
countries are competitors of the Unit
ed States in the worlds markets. 1t
should not be difficult for him to rea-
lison that if we are to meet that COM
petition successfully, and thus to his
own advantage, we must in some way
make our ounce Of gold paid for 1922
hours of labor equal the ounce of gold
paid for the much greater numbers of
hours of labor in the countries named
Our worksr does not wish to give
more hours for the ounce, and We are
not saying that he should do so. Then
he must give something that will be
practical equivalent of more hours
until the total of return from our
ounce equals the total of return from
the foreign paid ounce.
He can make his hours more pro-
ductive. He can become more eff
cient. He can cooperate more effectu-
ally not only with his fellow workers
but with his employers. We do not
know any other way in which we can
make our ounce of gold equal in labor
return with the ounce that will give
us our greatest competition, and we
must equal this if we are to sell our
goods in the only market that offers
an outlet for our surplus.

The Hans Rodd case, which has at,
tracted so much attention all over
the state, was decided by the Supreme
Court recently, against the Governor,
who issued an order removing Rodd
from office as Sheriff of Oneida County
when Rodd refused to release Peter
Christ. Christ had been pardoned by
the Governor after having served a
part of his sentence in the County
jail for criminal contempt of court.
The Supreme Court denied the power
of the Governor to pardon in cases
of contempt

q. s. REPRESENTATIVE HOMER p SNYDER
(NEW YORK;

The Republican administration came
into authority in March, 1921, pledged
to put more business in government
and to have less Of government in
business. That pledge has been lib
orally redeemed. One of the first
Things which the Republican admins
.tratlon did was to impress upon
business interests that it was up to
them to become self-reliant if they
wished to become self-sustaining;
that they must begin to work out their
own salvation instead of running to
the Government for artificial stimulus
Legislation has been enacted wherever
it could prove helpful, but it has not
been permitted to take the place Of
individual energy and thrift
Simultaneously with the elimfna-
ton of Government in business there
was an Injection Of business in Gov
eminent Perhaps what will go down
as one of the greatest pieces of con-
structiye legislation of the last half
century was the enactment of a law
creating Budget Bureau, which
made 1t not only possible but man
datory for the first time in the his
tory of the United States Government
TO conduct the Governments business
IN an orderly manner. It is largely
due to the inauguration of this bud
get system that the daily operating
expenses of the Government have
been reduced in the aggregate over
S2,0O0,O00 a day under this admins
tration.
The business interests of the coun-
try were given consideration in the
enactment Of the new tax measure
Surfaces were decreased. excess profits
taxes were abolished altogether, and
the shipping interests Of the United
Stats-which include practically every
business and industry-were relieved
from the burdensome transportation
taxes that were levied upon freight,
express and passenger traffic.
The Edge Act to facilitate the or
ganlzatlon OF corporations to promote
exports was amended in order to rem
der needed assistance to business in
terests endeavoring to expand Amer
lcas markets in foreign countries,
thereby increasing production and
employment at home.

When one thinks of good, home
baking today, there is always a men
tai picture of grandmother's goodies.
But there has been as much advance
in the gentle art of home baking as
there has in the sciences.
The Educational Department of the
DR.. Price Baking Powder Factory is
doing great work in the Improvement
of home baking. The most helpful
results of this work have been en-
bodied in a new cook book which is
said to be the last word in baking
perfection.
That this book may reach every
home, every grocer has been author
lied to present a copy of the New
DR.. Prices Cook Book to all purchas
ers of DR. Prices Phosphate Baking

Perhaps you have heard Of the Unr
derweight class at school. If not, you
should know of what Importance this
feature of the school life holds out as
a protection to your boy Or girl. The
State Health Department have worekd
out a schedule for Doctors Public
Health Nurses and others interested
in the conrmunity's health, whereby
the normal weight of children is deter
mined. A boy eight years old who is
At inches tall, should weigh so many
pounds, according to the figures. Those
boys and girls that are a certain per-
centage below the required figure, are
said to be in the underweight class. A
marked result of investigation Of eau
ses for the underweights, has been the
outstanding number of children who
were drinking little or no milk. The
conclusion reached in almost every
case is that the children who get e.
nough milk are normal, while those
that drink coffee or tea in place of
milk, are underweight. Milk is the
My complete food. One boy has gain
ed over twenty pounds since his par
ents were asked to give him milk. He
looks like a changed boy since the in
crease in weight, his school work is
better and the boy is far happier and
the parents are glad of the improve
nant in the boy.
If being underweight is bad thing
for the school children, so also is it
for the grown up. Men who find
losing weight should sub
NIT to a physical examination at once.
This IS important as the loss of weight
is usually the symptom Of something
wrong, sometimes with the work and
sometimes, it is something with the
human body that can be corrected
when first detected. When allowed to
become aggravated, it often leads to
