Through our non-partisan political
policy we have been able to secure
remedial legislation in Congress and
the various states to benefit not
only labor but all the people.
We fought the white plague, the
narcotic menace, freed the seamen
and eliminated to a marvellous ex-
tent sweatshops and tenements.
We secured the creation of the
Department of Labor, the secretary
a member of the Cabinet, and were
instrumental in establishing the
women's and children's bureaus in
that department.
In fact every legislative proposal
advanced by the American Fedora.
ton of Labor has been for the
benefit of all our people either
directly or indirectly.
This is only a brief outline Of
the things done by the American
Federation OF Labor. Yet there are
a thousand and one other improve.
ments in our economic life that
are to be credited to it's persistent
agitation Therefore labor has
much to be thankful for an this
Labor Day.

THREE PAINFULLY
INJURED AS. CAR
RUNS INTO TREE

Plans of joining their husband and
father at Tulsa, Okla, were rudely
interrupted this morning for Mrs.
William Bezdecheck and her two
small children when she crashed into
a tree at the corner of Sixth and
Holt street while driving her car
home from the business district.
Mrs. Bezdecheck and the children
were taken immediately to the Ell
Centre hospital by Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Kenyon who witnessed the ac-
cident. The small son was badly
cut about the mouth from flying
glass and the little girl was severely
bruised in the body.
Mrs. BezdecnecK was perhaps the
most seriously injured having been
thrown violently against the steer
ing wheel. She was lifted from the
car by witnesses of the crash and be-
came unconscious before she could
be taken across the street to the
hospital.
1t was learned later at the hos
pital that while painfully hurt, none
of the three was seriously injured.
The accident. however, will prevent
Mrs. Bezdecheck and the children
from departing tomorrow, as plan
ned, for their new home in Okla
homa.
According to eye witnesses of the
accident and the police report Mrs.
Bezdeeheek was driving south on
Sixth street and was part way
across the intersection at Holt when
the car driven by j. Roy Salassi, a
volunteer fireman, coming west on
Holt swerved along side of the Bez.
decheck car forcing Mrs. Bezde'
check over the curb to crash head
long into tree.
Eye witnesses stated that Salassi
was travelling fast but not at an
excessive rate of speed. 1t was evil
dent from the tire marks that had
both cars continued on their way
that the two automobiles would not
have collided, according to the police
department report.

Fer centuries we have be-
lieved that bile was harmful
nauseating substance that made
us sick, or bilious. Medical
science has now proven conclu-
sively that bile is in reality
and in fact, veritable health
giving and life-sustaining fluid
with many all-i.nportant func-
tions--and that biliousness is
not due to too much bile. butto
a lack of it.
In attempting to stimulate the
liver and increase tho bile flow
Calomel is the dru. that has been
most widely used throughout the
world for many years. And now
science has proven that this poison
ops, nauseating chemical has nc
action whatever on the liver or bile
flow and that it confines its action
10 the intestinal tract. 1t is n pur
gative and nothing else.
Here is what an. eminent author
ity has to say about Calomel:
Contrary to the belief ad-
hered to for many years. calo-
mel has no action on the liver
or bile flow. This belief ex-
listed and was basec on the col
or of the stools after the admin
istration of calomel. 1t has.
however, been thoroughly de-
