$100 a year.
Not so long ago in this glorious
republic of opportunity there was
lust one workman, carpenter IN
New England, able to earn as much
as dollar day all year round. Even
now, few, if any, work for one dol
lar day, although many, to the ma

get as little as six dollars week,
and even less.

you may add, "They have been worse,
and will soon be better, bringing
another chance, and perhaps fewer
mistakes than in the most recent
good times.
While waiting for better times, the
wise man makes the best of these
times. Not all are hopelessly discour-
aged. On Saturday, from New York
city alone, two million human beings
went away on pleasure bent. Neces-
sarily they took money with them.
Opportunity, intelligence, resources

other nation possesses are still with
us, if only we know how to use and
distribute them.

HOW LONG, HOW LONG!

A great groan has gone up from
the people. Give US bread. Patience
is being exhausted. After three years
mems nerves give way. They want
action. They want hope. The do
nothing tactics of those who can do
something about it create bitterness
resentment.
There is yet time. Not much, but
yet time. Ours is a patient people
With universal education goes a re-
gard for thought-out plans as opposed
to emotional expression. But respect
for order cannot go on forever when
unemployment mounts, and hunger
grows. Men close to the field report
change In sentiment during the last
month.
Full, thorough-going relief should
be provided at once. Public works
should be instituted. Managed infia-
ton should go forward, and there
after sharp curtailment of working
hours, unemployment reserves built
up, and wages increased as rapidly
as production grows. - Electrical

COMMUNISM

In Illinois the business of picket
ing seems losing some of it's effective
ness. That is good news.
Time will tell what lay behind that
movement against the union. At this
hour it seems more than likely that
communism was the disturbing force.
1t is known, of course, that social
ed frank and file" committees were
active in the leadership of the in
vaders.
Slowly the nation awakens to the
menace of communism. Slowly it
comprehends how vicious is this
thing, and how determined upon the
destruction of every institution
known to democracy.
In Illinois the United Mine Work
ers have stood solidly against the in
vaders, giving US again splendid
example of sound policy.

MORE WAR?

War clouds hover over Europe as
Germany and France contest over
Germany's proposal to reorganize her
armed forces. The Polish corridor
bobs up, not as today's menace, per-
haps, but as the big menace of to-
morrow.
Over the border from Poland looms
the red army of communism, waiting
it's chance to take whichever side will
lead to the most revolution.
In the Far East troops march and
countermarch, killing as they go
with red troops contesting more
ground than is confined in our own
western prairies.
The brown colors of autumn come
upon a world far from orderly in it's
operations, seemingly bent upon more
destruction before man learns bet
ter ways.
AS for the United States, the future
seems to have some brightness. Soon
we shall again hear the strident voice
of Babson telling all and sundry how
the country was saved.
However, we are more than likely
to have omething that looks like
prosperity before we have prosperity
In other words, prosperity for por-
tion, but unemployment for too many
as in 1929.
Shelves are empty and need filling
and soon the process of filling them

They say labor has its racketeers.
WE'LL one thing labor DOES have, is
terrible bitterness toward the whole
gangster business, toward companies
that employ gangsters and toward
the uncivilized, impossible and tyr
annical minority that forced upon the
nation condition out of which gang
sterism is the natural and inevitable
growth.
There's an honor roll of union men
who have fallen under the guns of
gangdom. And somewhere there's the
stain of guilt for every fallen union
man.

THE UNFAIR TAYsTEE BREAI

Lest you forget, Taystee bread is
still unfair to organized labor, anC
SO is all other products of the Purity
Baking Company, in whose plant the
union bakers are on strike. Taystee
bread is the principle product of the
company, watch for it and don't buy
it or any other of the Purity's prod
ucts. The striking employees made a
fair proposition in offering to accept
121a per cent cut in wages. This
proposition was accepted by all other
bakeries in the city, and if they can
make satisfactory profit at this
scale, why not the Purity Company?
1t seems, though, the Purity Com
pany is not satisfied with a reason
able profit must make a larger
one, at the expense of its workers.
But it looks too, like the company has
other reasons for their stubborn stand
against the union employees. 1t is
this: The strikers say the company
has declared it wants "no union re-
strictions." Does the company mean
it wants to run "open shop? Or that
it intends to break the union?
If such is the case, then indeed it
is the duty of every union man and
woman and friend to get back or the
striking bakers in their struggle for
fair and decent living conditions and
give them every support.
Buy only union labeled bake
goods and-buy Hamilton baked
goods. Watch for the label at all
times.

CHURCH and RED
TIE-UP CONDEMNED

New York City (ILNS)--Threats
of protest within the Methodist
Church organization piled up here
this week as members had called to
their attention extractes from Bulle-
tin No. 8 of the Methodist Federation
for Social Service, avowing cooper
alton between that Methodist organi-
zation and avowed communist outfits.
The bulletin is four months old, but
it's contents have just begun to at
tract general attention.
Over the signatures of Bishop
Francis J. Mcconnell, president, and
Harry F. Ward, secretary, it is de-
cfared:
sThe federation has continued to
cooperate with boards and agencies
within our own church and with many
groups outside the church working
definitely for new social order.
among these may be mentioned
SeVefdl departments VI lHC fCuSAe "a
Council of Churches, the American
Civil Liberties Union, the League for
Industrial Democracy, Labor Re-
search Association, international La
Dor Defense, Committee on Militarism
in Education, Fellowship of Reconcil-
iation."
In the same Bulletin Bishop Nc
Connell says: eve simply cannot be
respectable"
In the list of organizations with
which this Methodist organization
avows cooperative relations one is
completely communist and the others
excepting the Federal Council, are
either socialist or some shade Of pink
intervening between socialism and
communism.
The international Labor Defense is
openly and avowed communist, the
United States Branch of the Interna-
tional Red Aid, headquarters, Mos
COW.
1t is believed something close to
CONSERVATION will follow general un-
derstanding of these Moscow and pro-
Moscow affiliations.

And, strangely all our acts

To shape themselves to that

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.

ny LOOAN OLENDEN1NO, vi. IL.
1t is a commonplace to say
that we regulate the amount
of our food intake by the sensa-
ton of hunger. The appetite
is one of the most sensitive
mechanisms of our body and
while it is not so absolutely
dependable a guide that it will
maintain us at exactly the
proper weight, still the rule
holds that if we are hungry we
should eat and if not. we
probably don't need to eat.
In fact, if we obeyed the
dictates of appetite to the
extent mentioned in the last
phrase above-to the extent
that we do not eat if we are
not hungry-it would probably
be a more accurate guide to
weight control than we think.
There is another form of
starvation. however, for which
the appetite gives no warning
signals whatever. And that is
one of the reasons why the
Importance of vitamins was dis
covered so late IN the history
of civilization.
The body can be starved for
the need of these essential food
elements and yet no special
bodily sensation such as
appetite, be felt at all.
In the cast of absence of
Vitamin A, about all that is
noticed is a lack of regular
growth in children. Severe cases
of Vitamin A starvation result
in an eye disease, but such
cases are rare.
Vitamin B tarva tion is
shown in the development of
neuritiS called "beri-beri." Where
originally observed. in the East
Indies, this disease occurred
from eating a rice dish in
which the rice grains were

licle was removed. Yet this
dreadful disease developed with
out the body experiencing any
yearning for the whole rice at
all. That fact prevented, for
many years, a recognition of
its cause.
Vitamin C starvation results
in ScWrvy-bleeding gums and
bad teeth. Mild forms of it
may occur and be evidenced
simply by the occurrence of
many cavities in the teeth and
rapid decay. And yet this may
go on to serious lengths with
out the body notifying the
higher centers by the sensation
of craving for the fruits
lemons, oranges, etC.-which
contain Vitamin C.
In the same way, Vitamin D
starvation is made known only
by poor development of bones
and teeth.

The hog-badger is not unlike
our American badger as far as
the body is concerned. It's
principal point of variance is
that it has a long sharp nose

which it uses in roofing around

and bulbouS roots.
We we're making our way
