WHY NOT TRY LOvEs
Two thousand years later. it sounds
almost as crazy to us as it did the
day it was said, doesn't It? Wen try
everything else: hate, murder, slaugh-

But we won't try anything as dead
ly, as irresistible as the simple love
and service and forgiveness Of our
brother.
The world would 90 down before
it. Sometimes we catch just
glimpse of the stupendous possibility
of fighting with love. with generosity
heaped upon generosity, with love
piled on top of love.
We see it work in little things. Yet
even where the petty details Of our
pretty lives are concerned, love isn't
an easy agent to employ.
Kindness is a frightfully difficult
thing to manage. Hate is so near
so easy!

President, Union Labor Life Insurance
Company
As president of the Union Labor
Life Insurance Company, labor's
greatest venture into the field of
financial and commercial service, my
Labor Day message to the workers
of America is one of great cheer
one of enthusiasm, one of encourage
ment and promise.
Two years ago our company was
scarcely dream. A year ago it was
a definite idea, but nothing more. To-
day it is so near its final plunge into
actual business that it stands as a
marvel of achievement, something of
which all labor may be proud, some
thing definite and solid for the future.
Through the years to come human
life will be made freer from worry
and want and suffering because this
company has come into being.
Through the years to come children
will find a safer future, mothers a
strong support in time of disaster,
fathers a source of satisfaction and
protection against the unknown.
AS Labor Day comes this year we
are nearing the goal set for the open
ing of our doors for business. We
are proud of our record, proud of the
confidence shown by our movement
in our great enterprise, knowing that
we have built we'll and for the good
of the millions.
International unions, state and city
central bodies, local unions and indi-
vidual trade unionists have generous
ly bought stock in the Union Labor
Life Insurance Company. Each week
they continue to send their subscrip-
tions, each subscription a sound in
vestment in itself and a solid stone in
the masonry of our structure.
By next Labor Day we shall have
written great record of business
progress. That is what we look for
ward to. Meanwhile, our greetings

people-for in tooth brushing, at
least, the word lazy applies to so
many of us.
Listerine Tooth Paste is really very
easy to use. 1t works fast. Just
minimum of brushing and your teeth
feel clean-and actually are clean.
You have the job done almost be-
fore you know it.
This is on account of the way
Listerlne Tooth Paste is made. 1t
contains specially prepared cleans
ing ingredient-entirely harmless to

tial oils that have made Listerine
famous.
And how fine your mouth feels
after this kind of brushing! Then,
besides, you kaow your teeth are really
clean-and therefore safe from decay.

Like most human beings, you prob

little things of life.
You say you brush your teeth, for
instance, three or two times day
where once would be nearer the truth.
Most of US are lazy in the same way
and say the same thing.
In fact, there are still some people
who lie about taking cold bath every
morning. Usually they don't, and
many days they miss the morning
bath entirely
Isn't it true, though, that many of
the little duties of life are more irk>
some than the bigger ones?
Tooth brushing is good example.
Realizing the truth of this, the
makers of Listerine set out dehber
ately to formulate dentifrice that
would furnish the easiest, quickest wdy
