Beware the Cough or
 Cold that Hangs On

Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble, You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold ac- tion; it soothes and heals the in- famed membranes and inhibits germ growth.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical author ities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat trouble. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing clements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, and attacks the seat of the trouble.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satis- factory in the treatment of per- sistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Your own druggist is authorized to refund your money on the spot if your cough or cold is not relieved by Creomulsion. adv.

 The guard had fallen back until it ringed the two foreign figures. one standing. the other prone. The tableau seemed to await command from the descending native.
 One of the guards stepped for ward and with gesture pulled the sun-helmet from the head of the standing prisoner.
 Like streamers of light reflected from a golden mirror the hair fell from. the head down past the shoulders. A woman! Grahame's eyes blurred with tho intensity of his gaze, and with fingers that were moist with excitement. he adjusted the focus of his glasses. "Juan!" he whispered hoarsely. "Juan! It's white woman!" She half turned away from the semi-circle of guards. She seemed, almost, to be looking directly at Grahame. The American gasped. He felt curious chill speed across his shoulders. He held his breath, and felt his skin tighten. To some remote cave-living ances- tor of is, the same sensation would have brought erect the coarse hair upon his body. To Grahame, the civilized. that fieeting sense of fear gave way Immediately to hot anger, and great anxiety.
 "Janice." he whispered. Janice Kent!"
 It was odd that he felt no curiosity about how she had come here. The distance between Hollywood and this remote spot in Yucatan, had been brushed away the instant he realized that it was she. Indeed bis concern for her had wiped away every thought except that she was In dire need. and that he. by the happiest stroke of luck in his lifetime. was there to supply that l aid if it were humanly possible to

 The amazing fact was that the skin of some of the inhabitants of this strange city was light,-bronze to be sure. but yet undoubtedly Caucasian.

Rebuilding Unemployed
Council in I'll milton
BY a Worker Correspondent

HAMILTON, Hamilton is re-
building its unemployed council,
which at this time last year had a
membership of 1900.
At the past two mass meetings
we had about 100 new members. We
hope to see this figure grow in the
fall, when the few jobs are done,
so-called relief work for which
laborers are getting only 44c. per
hour, sometimes "a hours a week,
at S1055 week. Then the unem-
ployed will grow to 1000 in Hamil-
ton alone, or we miss our guess.
Most of the credit goes to Ed
Burke, for giving us a lift, talking
Of his past experience of organizing
on the Baltimore waterfront. He
spoke at two mass meetings in
Hamilton, and also two in Middle
town. He talks to the workers in
a way they like.

Hospital Makes
Patients Work So
AS to Cut Staff
By a Worker Correspondent

MERCY HOSPITAL. HAMILTON,
Ohio.-There have been patients
entered in this hospital on the city,
where the relief is supposed to see
to it that their bill is paid, and if
the relief beaureau does not pay
these bills, the county does. This
place was exempted under the N. r.
A. from raising wages. All the kit
chen, cafeteria, orderlies, ice makers,
and such, get the sum of SGT a
month, 10 cents a day, 10 to II
hours a day, six and a half days a
week, both male and female work
ers.
Then the head of the place sends
the Office girl out to these people
that have been in the hospital as
charity patients, to get them to
come in and work out their bill.
When they get somebody to do so,
they come around and tell the
regular workers that they can take
a month off, but without pay. So
far there haven't been many falling
for this scheme.
Some have come in and worked a
week, some a day or two. Then
they don't come back. 1t would be
better if there was a good organizer
among this group of swindled
workers.

Workers Victims of
Resort RacketeerS
BY a Worker Correspondent


NEW York; just came back
from the mountains. I went to
build Red Builder up to sell the
Daily Worker, and we can find
plenty of readers, even among the
comrades who are sympathetic to
our movement staying there in the
hotels. The workers there could al
ways find time to read a Daily
Worker or book though some
haven't got the price, but those who
are there for pleasure or working
there should be ashamed of them
selves for neglecting our literature.
The cheap concession racketeers
which rent out from the hotel
keepers are paying from 81 200 rent
up to $4,000 and $4,000. Conces-
sions and the sporting gambling
money goes to the racketeers. When
it comes to tip somebody, or for
bosses to pay wages to their work
erS, there's nobody home.
The judges are getting graft for
letting gamblers run concessions, but
the workers wages are kept low.
At Woodbridge, Monticello, Falls
burg, the employment agencies keep
workers waiting for jobs, and one
has to spend his last dime at the
agency to sleep and eat, and then
try to be placed in job at the low
wages they pay in the mountains.
The crooked employment agency
is licensed for 500 year to rob
the workers.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Sufferers from Chronic Disease.

We receive number of letters
daily, from people suffering from
chronic disease, asking us where
they can apply for admission. In
nearly every instance, we are unable
to make. satisfactory contacts for
them. If a person suffers from an
acute disease, such as, pneumonia
or a broken leg, we can always
refer him to hospital where he is
taken care of to a certain extent;
to an extent compatible with the
crazy capitalist scheme that we
have. If the patient is old or insane
or tuberculous, we can still find
some place for him or her.
But when he has chronic dis
ease, the patient is out of luck. He
is driven from one institute to an
other, each one frantic to get rid
of him. And yet, it has estimated
that 10 per cent of the total pop
ulation are suffering from chronic
ailments. One and half per cent
of those over 40 years of age are
completely disabled by their NAL
aides. Many of these could be
taken care Of, at home, if the city
charter did not prohibit it. If it
did not, some way would have been
found to prevent any sensible solu-

Opinion differed as to whether the
new Soviet styles should try to carry
over the old national forms and
characteristics, or should break
with them altogether. Satlkin,
sample selector of the Moscow
Clothing Trust, thought that for
the present it is best to adapt
Partisan and Western styles to So
Wet needs until an indigenous type
of clothing art can be developed.
Hence the request for the estab-

Screams for New
Society, But Asks
Workers to Starye
BY a Worker Correspondent

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-On FRIDAY
evening, July IA. John P. Quinn OF
the Socialist Labor Party spoke to
a large crowd on the Green. A
crowd Of young Pioneers began to
ask questions.
He said that anyone that will call
himself Communist ought to be
ashamed Of himself He denounced
the Unemployed Councils. He said
that by getting a few sops they de-
base the whole revolutionary pro-
gram.
When the time arrives, he said.
people how to run the factories, and
peple how to run the factories, and
so on.
The S. L. p. is in existence here
in New Haven since 1890. No one
ever knew them to take part in
anything for the poor and down
trodden, only to go to the ballot
box with your trouble and vote the
Socialist Labor Party ticket. Yes.
the ballot box, one of the biggest
jokes in this country. In New Jer-
sey they throw the Socialist ballots
into the river, while here in Con-
necticut they plug the voting
machines on the Communists.
He said now is the time that the
working class is going to flock to
the S. L. P. He said there was not
any unemployment problem in this
country 40 years ago. Well if that
is so, why was Coxey's Army organ
lied, for he said the Communists
know nothing about America. He
said that the cooperative common
wealth today would be an estab-
lished fact if it was not for the
automobile, because that alone
created 100000 new jobs for the
country. He forgot to tell about the
millions of carriage workers, horse
shoers, harness makers, feed men,
oats, hay and grain of the farmers.
He didn't know anything about
that.
To my memory, there is always an
army of men looking for work. One
day in June in 1918, when the police
of this city were making bluff of
rounding up all idlers found on the
streets, went into the employ
ment office of the great Martin
Rockwell plant. Mr.. johnson, a
prominent member of the Knights
Of Columbus society, was in charge.
While I was in there 1 counted 40
applicants, 20 men, 20 women. He
hired all the women, and two men.
So you can see there is always an
army of men looking for work.
Every intelligent workingman knows
that the capitalist system is dying
fast and revolution is imminent.
How that revolution is going to be
conducted no S. L. P. speaker can
tell. and they only make fools of
themselves when they admit it.
