Piles Disappear
No Cutting or Salyes Needed

External treatments seldom cure Piles.
 Nor do surgical operations.
 The cause Is nside-bad circulation.
 The blood Is stagnant, the veins haoby.
 The bowel walls are weak, the parts almost dead.
 To quickly and safely rid yourself or piles you must free the circulation--send fresh current though stagnant pools. Internal treatment Is the one safe method. Otntments and cutting won't do 1t.
 J. & Leonhardt, NJ. D.. specialist, set at work some years ago to find real internal remedy for piles. He succeeded He named his prescription HEM-ROID and tried 1t in 1000 cases before he was satisfied Now HEM-RO1D Is sold by druggists everywhere under guarantee. It is a harmless tablet, easy to take. and can always be found at the Fair Depart ment Store. who will gladly refund the purchase price to any dissatisfied GUS toner.

Laws Not Adequate
Laws under which persons suf-

adequate or sufficiently definite.
Numerous patients are in the

If the policy of making the nos

Patients are not afforded oppor-

assistance from the outside world.
Wards Crowded
There are too many patients in
some OF the wards, resulting in
crowded and unhealthy conditions.

under consideration are carried TO

Representatives of some 10 differ

permanent organization to act as a
clearing house for information and a
point Of contact in the campaign to be
undertaken, for no new association Is
to be set up and no existing organlza-

was opposition to extensions or gov

private industry feels should be re-
served to it, and to seek means 10
restrict the activities Of government
which are felt already to be In COM
petition with private industry puSl-
ness and the professions.
There still remains this element OF
selfish interest in the situation, but
the principal outgrowth of this rather
remarkable gathering was the decision
to ascertain the exact facts and to
spread these facts before the people
in an advertising campaign which its
SPONSORS believe will lead to reaction
that will confine the activities or the
various Government agencies to the
field Of governing, and in so doing re-
move from public pay rolls many thou
sands of persons while at the same
time increasing tax returns from pri-
vate industry because Of the added
work which will be turned to it.
More concern IS expressed by the
business leaders who are taking up
this subject because of the activities
Of States, counties, municipalities and
minor political subdivisions than in
regard to the activities of the Federal
Government in fields which private
industry feels should be reserved to 1t.

Apulia Impoverished
By Vagaries of Water

To conquer water with water is the
program undertaken by a reclama-
ton consortium in Apulia- Apulia,
which before 1000 A. D. was perhaps
the richest section of Italy, has in
later centuries become one of the
poorest because of deforestation, soil
exhaustion and general neglect. Its
particular curse has been water, both
too much and too little Of it.
The porous soil let's the rain pass
through to a lower level, leaving the
upper stratum parched during a
large part of the year. while the
subterranean reservoir reappears at
the surface later, through periodic
sinking of the oversoil, and creates
malarial swamps. Ordinary irriga-
ton is thus a useless task But the
experts of the consortium have hit
upon the idea of raising the needed
irrigation water from the subsoil by
means of many small electric pumps.
And these pumps are to get their
power from water imprisoned in an
artificial lake in the nearby hillA.

I;N WILLIAM GREEN

PRESIDENT Anne tricau Federation Of Labor.
With keen awareuess that in the
past year men have made progress i'll
learning how to live together, organ
lied labor has entered the new year
with a compelling belief that far
reaching and tremendous develop
ments lie in the immediate future.
The past year has brought to our
movement definite economic progress.
We have stayed the disintegrating
currents of postwar readjuStmentS
and recorded an increase in member
ship. Not only have we added to our
members, but we have materially
strengthened our cohesive forces. We
have raised wages secured better
working conditions and have made
contributions to more equitable ana
more efficient organization OF industry.
Organized labor has declared in most
definite terms that the interests of
all members of society and all ele-
ments in production are interde-
pendent and that material standards
Of living cannot be permanently
raised except through increased pro
ductivity. On the other hand, organ
jzed labor has declared with no less
emphasis that the ultimate purposes
which material benefits are to serve
are essentially spiritual and that only
bv keeping in mind that workers are
humans seeking the opportunity and
the enterprise worthy to engage the
time and the interests of human be
ings, can equitable and permanent
basis for relations between men be
established.
Promoting Education.
We seek good will and understand
ing not in a spirit of compromise but
in the spirit of q search for truth.
Within our ranks we are promoting
education opportunities and the gath
ering of facts. We are willing to
trust our hope Of future progress to
educational methods. To employers in
industry our unions offer cooperation
based upon collective agreements that
assure equitable dealings. To society
we offer an organized agency capable
of constructive service to humanity.
These are our ideals. Sometimes
we fail to realize them through no
fault of ours, and not only our in
dustry, our employment and labor suf-
fer, but society as we'll suffers. We
think at once of the anthracite con-
troversy. Owners and operators have
sought to profit at the expense of mine
workers and coal users The miners are
making heavy sacrifices for equitable
and constructive principles of joint
relationships. Only by accepting the
principle of collective bargaining and
it's coroilaries can the foundation be
laid for more constructive co-opera-
ton in production.
We are now in the midst of a spe-
ciai campaign of organization and
education by which we move rapidly
through State after State, telling the
story of labor's efforts and purposes
through pictures and the spoken word.
In the near future we shall initiate
sustained campaign to organize
women in industry.
We are developing through our
