Tw TENS the same day the
past wee. N the same morning pa
per are so much in contrast that II
is to be doubted If even the most
casual reader was not struck by the
fundamental difference.
The first Is the outspoken address
of the Secretary of War, MIR. Weeks
to the graduating class at the Mill
tary Academy In which he plainly
states the hard facts of life as they
are and as "A man addressing men
recognizes disagreeable truths and
the necessity TO frankly face and
overcome them.
The second is dispatch from
Washington telling of a two days
campaign by the National Council
which one of the main features is
to be the plaoarding of the coun-
try with the legend mo More War"
Anyone with any experience in life
knows that most evil is caused, not
through the deliberate actions Of the
really wicked. but through the fail
ure of the morally weak or the i'm
practicable sentlmentalist to face
facts as they are.
As rule, such people do not
commit the evil themselves, but
they. by their actions. open the way
to the doing of evil by others.
Give the National Council for the
Reduction OF Armaments the bene-
Mt OF every doubt Ask in what dl-
rection their work has tended and
what will be the logical result IL they
succeed. The careful reader of their
sees their operations
tending more and more to the day
when the United States will be left
in the face of an arm
ed and bitter world envious of our
wealth. of our relative prosperity
and our excellent future. and in
many cases necessarily and funda-
mentally hostile to the principles
upon which this country is founded.
The proposed action of the Ma
tional Council for the Reduction OF
Armaments In piacarding the coun-
try with signs bearing the legend
mo More War" would be merely
comic II Il we're not for the fact
that It will encourage many moral
weakllngs, male and female,
throughout the country in their in

the responsibility which citizenship
clearly imposes OF defending this
country.

over 26 per cent of the working
population and received less than
20 per cent of the natious purchas-
ing power and product.
"To put it briefly and strikingly;
there were six times as many work
ers in agriculture as I'm railway
transportation and yet they recelv-
ed only three times as much OF the
nations production as did the rail-
way worker"
DR.. Friday closes by saying:
"The farmer may be wrong in his
attitude toward a railway strike,
but 49,. until someone can show
him that these facts are radically
wrong 49,. he will surely continue
to oppose any attempt upon the part
OF railway labor to resist the award
of the board by strikers"

was so disordered that often could

times would actually faint away.
My liver was inactive, my bladder
very weak and my bowels irregular.
Then, besides all of this. I had ter
rlble spells of bloating and swelling.
1t became so bad at times that I
would have to unloosen my waist
and unlace my shoes.
Il weighed 81 pounds when I
started taking Plant Juice. Now
since 1 have taken seven bottles Of
Plant Juice I weigh 115 pounds

My nerves are quiet

Philadelphia with 993,73s, ranks
tenth in postal receipts. Boston, St.

THE NICKEL SMOKE
CONES BACK

From the New York Herald.
The five cent cigar Is coming back
and Chicago is its herald. From Cook
county comes the news that the shop
windows are displaying the nickel
smoke in a profusion of shapes and
varieties and that the return is being
-trumpeted from billboards through
out the city.
1t was sure to happen. All over
the country protests have never
ceased since the five-center disap-
peared during the wartime. And the
cigarmakers themselves knew that
Il was to their interest to bringback
the five cent cigar as soon as they
could. only last June. in conven-
ton at Atlantic City. the National
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association
adopted a resolution asking Congress
to consider in the fixing of the tariff
ra tes on tobacco the best means of
promoting the production Of the FIVE
cent cigar.
It's passing may have helped to
boost the cigarette in its sudden
an dspectacular climb into popular
favor. Many men smoked nickel Gig
ars and thought they were good
enough for a nickel. but later con-
cluded they weren't good enough for
eight cents or a dime. Through
the war years the production of Gig
arettes increased enormously each
year; the cigar output showed nor

advance. In 1916 twenty-five bill
lion cigarettes were made in the
United States. thirty-fve billion
1917 and forty-six billion in 1918.
In 1919 the total advanced to fifty
three billion. but in 1920 there was
a falling off of two billion.
During the same period the pro-
duction of cigars remained in the
neighborhood of eight billion. until
in 1920. when the first decline in
cigarettes is apparent, there was
jump forward OF 700, 100000 in Gig
ars.
The cigar. and not merely the five
cent cigar. will probably win back
In its former favor. It
confers upon the smoker something
which the cigarette does not con-
fer. Give a down and outer a cigar /

HARD COAL NEXT WINTER,
Erom the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
If the railroad shop workers
strike were settled tomorrow, for
the matter OF that IL the roads
went on filling the strikers vacant
places for another thirty days at the
rate they have put on new men in
the last thirty days, that other great
strike, the strike among the soft
coal unions. would be by way OF
settling itself.
The haulage of soft coal. both in
the primary movement from the
non-union mines by the railway
coalers and in the secondary move
ment of general distribution by all
the carriers, is so huge a traffic that
rail equipment is Of cardinal i'm
pOrtance in the coal situation. This
equipment is now assured whether
there is a settlement of the shop
mems strike or whether the roads,
having fought out some go to 20 per
cent of the way in the matter Of
manning the shops, go on and fight
out the other 80 to 40 per cent of the
way.
While, however, the bituminous
situation is safe for the near future,
the anthracite shortage is quite an
other thing. AS against the record
already achieved on the one hand
by the non-union bituminous mines
Of getting out twO-thirds of the
country's soft coal needs, and as
against their capacity to increase
their output under the reign OF law
and order to three-quarters of the
cOuntry's needs. there is on the
other hand and has been for three
months no production at all by the
anthracite mines which had been
thoroughly uniOnized.
1t is true that in that time there
has not been a large consumption
hard coal being used mainly for
heating purposes in the North At
lantic States. So the hard coal sup
ply in existence on April /, when the
strike began. has not been greatly
reduced although it has changed
hands from jObber to retailer and
from retailer TO consumer getting II
into the bin. But there was no con-
siderable excess supply OF anthracite
when the strike began. And 10 carry
over the winter there should be
heavy surplus by now.
If, therefore. anthracite is not
mined in fun supply within a few
weeks some parts OF the East, par
dcularly in New England, are going
TO suffer from lack of hard coal be-
fore the backbone OF next winter is
broken.
Meanwhile, every consumer Of an
thraclte that can use any other kind |
of coal or fuel whatever would be
wise to think about putting in some
kind of substitute supply. The hard |
coal deadlock between union and
mines forces will end some time, it
might end suddenly, but those who
will need coal for heat might as well
get It wherever they can. In the dog
laws Is the time to make provision
'or warmth against the next winters
freeze.
