overtureS.
Under leadership of the Typo
graphical union, they began in
1879 to draw up plans for ma
tional organization. This flow
tered into an amalgamated trade
congress in Terre Haute in 1881,
a mixture of disaffected knights
of Labor, Socialists and trade
union officials.
This meeting resulted in Or
ganization of the Federation of
Organized Trades and Labor I'M

Your Health

VTOU probably are we'll aware by this time mat
i complete absence of certain vitamins from your
body will bring about certain diseases The names OF
these diseases have been definitely coupled WIN
these vitamn deficiencies.
other diseases probably are associated with
moderate DEFICIENCIES of the vtamins, and there are
doubtless breakdowns of the tissues and functions OF
some parts of the body which can be attributed 10
these deficiencies.
one expert has listed four signs which indicate
whether any damage is due to lack of specific Vita
min.
The first of these is that the condition in ques-
ton must disappear wholly or in part when the
vitamin is taken This will not If serious dam
age to the tissues already has taken place 1t VIII
not occur if the body not absorb the vitamins'
and it will not occur if the condition is due to sew
eral deficiencies and only one is corrected
T1OR example it is now we'll established that de-
fective teeth will develop if the body receives in
sufficient calcium insufficient phosphorus and in
sufficient vitamin G and D. The supplying OF any
one of these deficiencies will not correct the condi-
ton.
The second sign Of vitamin deficiency disease
is that the giving Of the vtamin will prevent devel-
opment Of the disease.
The third sign or test is that it must be shown
that some other substance given with the yitamin is
not bringing about the beneficial result
For example If is now believed that vitamin B
has favorable influence on digestion and nutrition.
If vitamin is given in a preparation containing
sugar, the benefit to nutrition might be due to the
sugar.
THE last test concerns investigations Of tissues
l. and Of symptoms which reveal themselves early,
before the severe disease occurs. For example, mild
disturbances Of vision and night blindness may APP
pear before the serious condition called xerophth-
alma occurs when there is a lack Of vitamn A.
With the X-ray it is possible to see the earliest
signs of ricketts, condition affecting the growth OF
the long bones, due TO a deficiency of vitamln D.
long before the deficiency is observed in the form OF
bow-legs.
You must remember that our knowledge OF vita
minis is, after all, comparatively recent Hardly
twenty years have passed since this conception was
first brought to light.
With the great many studies now being made in
laboratories throughout the world, it is likely that
much additional information of value soon viii be-
come available Particularly important in this con-
nection is the fact that certain vitamins now are
isolated In pure form.

Did He EUer Study History?

DUT Herbert Hoover is nowhere concise IN oeiin-
ID ing Just what he means by liberty. Or. for
that matter what he means BY RECOMMENDATION which
he opposes. His citations hardly are happy.
In every generation" he writes men and
women Of many nations have died that the human
spirit might be free. In our at Plymouth Rock
at Lexington. at Valley Forge. at yorktown at New
Orleans at every step OF the western frontier, at
Appomattox az San Juan Hill, IN the Argonne. are
the graves Of Americans who died for this very
purpose"
NowAir Hoover either understands American his
tory quite mperfectly. or he brazenly perverts it.
It Is the siest thing in the world to mention the
Pilgrims as persons who fought against regimenta-
ton. To be sure some OF the elementary school
books tell the children that our forefathers came to
Massachusetts, to establish freedom Of worship
OF course they did no such thing.
II they had caught one of Mr.. HOovers Quaker
ancestors hanging around the colony they would
have chased him of into the wilderness or put him
into prison Even the most far-fetched and fantas-
tic conception of RECOMMENDATION under Franklin
Roosevelt hardly could match the tight rein which
the community or in other words the state imposed
upon the individual in the days of the Pilgrim
fathers Then there flourished in its 1ercest form
the fact Of party discipline.

Russian scientists. Dmitri IvanovitSch Mendeleeff.
Every high school student of chemistry knows
the name Of Mendeleef because it is practically i'm

Mendeleef was born in Siberia. the last Of seven

Philadelphia printers struck in
1886, and in 1906 scabs were

Not until after these small
local organizations had been
wiped out repeatedly by depres-

Civil war had been fought, and
the free land of the west began

In 1850 the typographical
Union created a national organi-

during the Civil war fostered
unionism. In two years unions
rose from 70 to 27O, and ten ma
tionals we're organized.
BY the end of the sixties, there
were thirty-two national unions.
BY 1872 about 100000 organized

effects on American labor. 1t au-

NTHER immigrants, driven out
~ by tyranny and the persecu-
ton that followed the revolutions
of 1848 in Europe, flocked to
America. Native labor grew I'M
easy.
The first effort to organize labor
on a national scale was in 1854,
when the Industrial Assembly of
North America" met in Louisville,
Ky. 1t failed to raise enough
funds to make a real beginning.
Two years later the National
Labor Union was formed. 1t met
annually until 1872, but dwindled
and faded out of the picture. 1t
sought political means to attain
its detectives.
For ten years no national Or
ganization of labor existed, though
efforts we're made.
Socialists, embittered by the des-
perate railroad strikes of 1877,
formed the Socialist Labor party
on the principles of the class
struggle and a cooperative COM
monwealth.
The Noble and Holy Order Of
the Knights of Labor, organized
nearly ten years before, became in
1873 national secret organiza-
ton, full of rituals, grips, and
regalia.
Under the motto, "An injury to
one is the concern Of ALL" it pro-
posed one mighty union of all
crafts, creedS, and kinds of
workers.
1t stood for the public and CO.
operative ownership of industry,
but opposed Socialist politics. The
knights put on a strong strike
against the Gould railways in
1885, freely using sabotage, and
shortly after that boosted 100000
members. But the knights, too,
withered and died during the
nineties.

-, political set-backs seem only
to stir him to greater efforts. He
lost New Orleans once. Now he's
riding fast and furiously with
splendid chances of getting it
back.
The visitor to New Orleans can
not help but notice the enthusiasm
with which Orleanians ignore the
turmoil in their midst. There is
more concern in the north and
west over the Louisiana situation
than there is right here in New
Orleans.
Natives discuss the weather, the
tourist trade and the drinks at the
St. Charles bar. The tagged
patios of the French quarter
bask serenely in filtered sun
light. The ferns that curl over
French balconies are not ruffled
by the blasting winds of political
discussions.
In Louisiana, you are either for
Long or against him. They don't
have the two-party method of ap-
proach, for there aren't any Re-
publicans to speak of. And the
citizens appear to feel that things

done, after his committee reports,
