Iransients'
Conditions
Are Depicted
BY a Worker Correspondent

hJ NOhOi correspondent
LEBANON, Pa. - The idea that
only through combined and mass
action will they secure some relief
from their misery is penetrating the
conscience of the people Of our
backward community.
The grievance committee of the
Lebanon Unemployed Council is
compelled periodically to visit in a
mass the Relief Board and demand
coal, clothing and food denied to
many on the slightest pretense. The
Council is usually successful. But
we have in town hundreds of des-
titute families, who, because of
their ignorance or timidity are APP
plying for relief individually and
are usually denied the meager
hand-out.
But, miserable as is the condition
of hundreds of workers families
who have to depend on relief or
psrt-time work, the condition of
the people who belong to other
communities, transients looking for
work, is still more appalling. It is
not an exaggeration to declare that
stray dog is treated more human
ly. The police are always on the
watch for strangers STABILITY dressed.
and they are promptly chased out
of town if they cannot prove any
means of a livelihood. Many of
them perish but nobody cares. Po-
lice and the press are usually anx-
lous to see that She public should
not be aware of these cases. Once
IN while, though, a corner of this
heavy blanket of silence is lifted
up and the public can see the grue-
some, rotten view of our capitalistic
civilization"

ANOTHER NEW DEAL" STUN


Faribault, MINI.
Dear Comrade Editor:
In the December issue OF the
Daily Worker, Comrade S. R.. of
New York, suggests the issue of a
one cent pamphlet on Coughlin. to
be distributed all over the United
StateS-say million COPIES. I be-
lieve it would be one of the best
pamphlets for educational work.
There Is no doubt that this hypo-
critic and agent of the Wall Street
bankers, and the Roosevelt criminal
N. r. A. New Deal" is one of the
greatest stunts ever pulled in order
to keep the workers divided, to lead
them to Hitlerism, and to finally
lead them in front of the Gar to
be murdered off by the hundreds of
thousands and thus cause another
Bloody Sunday.
II such a pamphlet is printed. we
could use five thousand here as a
starter. LIE us hear from some of
the other comrades on this matter.

ton in the formation Of bunion,
such as you have, is the factor Of
irritation. That usually comes from
shoes that fit improperly at just
that particular point.
If this bunion bothers you a great
deal, whether you wear shoe or
not, it is advisable to have it re-
moved by the knife in competent
physicians hands. To prevent it
from coming back, correct shoes can
be worn only after three weeks have
passed after the operation.
A correct shoe in your case should
be one where there is broad or
bulldog toe box" that is in the
front of the shoe where all the
toes must have enough room. Then
see that the shoe is long enough.
Length should be measured from
the heel to beyond the longest toe,
which may be the second and not
the first toe. The top Of the shoe
should be Of soft leather to give the
toe a chance to spread when walk
ing or standing. Most important,
however, is that the inner part Of
the shoe, running from the inner side
Of tht heel to the large toe, should
be a straight line, not bent as in

Our Reply

Our Reply
It would have helped us in an
swering your question had you given
us your age and sex, and stated the
presence or absence, now or in the
past, of any other urinary com
plants.
In the first place, eloudiness is
significant only in freshly passed
urine, since any normal urine will
turn cloudy in time due to the
growth of bacteria and the precip-
itation of the salts it contains.
Freshly passed urine may be cloudy
when passed soon after a meal. but
this may be due to any number of
causes, as well as gonorrhea. 1t may
be due, in woman, to the presence
of vaginal discharge; in a man, to
mixture with seminal fluid, follow
Ing sexual activity or excitement.
Aside from such contamination with
other bodily secretions, it usually
means an obstruction or infection
somewhere in the urinary tract.
If you are a man, and have never
had an acute discharge, it is almost
certain that the case is not gonor-
rhea; if you are woman, it is quite
improbable, but one cannot be Ger
tain without an examination, since
gonorrhea in the female OCCASION
ally gives practically no symptoms.
Especially if you are much wor-
ried, or if you have other urinary
complaints, we advise you to see a
local doctor or clinic and have your
urine examined, to rule out any
serious cause and put your mind at
rest.

c. c., Maspeth, n. Yin those
who have poor circulation Of blood
there sometimes appear dark red
patches, usually on the heels, bor-
ders of the feet, toes, fingers. ears
or nose. These parts are cold to the
touch, tender and when exposed to
warmth they are apt to burn and
itch intensely. In extreme cases
the parts are of a purplish red color,
and blisters and ulcers may form
from ordinary rubbing. The condi-
ton is brought on by exposure to
cold and usually improves in the
warm months-though not always
in the severe cases. There is, Of
course. no seasonal relief for those
who work in butcher shops where
they are always exposed to the low
temperature Of the refrigerators.
Warm wooden socks should be
worn and the feet should be washed
daily in hot water, rubbed briskly
and quickly dried and powdered
with talcum powder. The wearing
of warm shoes-such as sheep-lined
ones is very helpful. For the re-
lief of the intense itching and burn
ing apply calamine lotion. For in
ternal treatment we would suggest
that you take Is grains of calcium
lactate three times daily.

General health is usually good if only
growing pains are present while if there
are joint pains, the general health may

uncommon in the child with mere

NeU Probate Code
NOLU in Effect.

The new Probate Code for Minnesota
went into effect on Friday and it's pro-
visions are expected to clarity certain
sections of the probate laws and place
them in better working order.
Two important provisions stand out.
One of them relates to the death of a
married man and the other relates to
guardianship of minor females. They
provide:
When married person dies, the sur
viving spouse will be entitled to half
OF the estate instead of one-third as
heretofore.
If girl under Is years marries, the
new law provides that guardianship on
her person shall cease but shall con-
tinue on her property until she is le-
gally Of age.

IMMIGRATION
ON INCREASE
Report of Central Office Shows
Gain in 1885 and Instructs
Citizenship Applicants.

The st. Paul Office is in receipt of a
letter from Col. w. D. Mccormack,
commissioner of immigration and ma
turalization which states:
"Since April IA, last, 1,576 applica-
tons for certificates of arrival with
oney orders and photographs attached
have been received in the Central office
direct from the applicants, instead of
through the field offices. 1t is obvious
that this course can only result in de-
lays in issuing the certificates of arrival
as in each instance the application and
money order must go back to the field
Office for accounting purposes and re-
ference to the appropriate port or office
for verification of the arrival.
Applicants for naturalization are
notified that unnecessary delay results
in forwarding such matter to WASH
ington. Many ordinary inquiries re-
garding immigration and naturalization
matters are forwarded to Washington.
This should not be done as the general
rule of the Washington office is to re-
fer all such inquiries to the district
office for reply.
The fiscal year for the district office
ended on June 80, 1885. The district
comprises "a ports of entry in the states
of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, the upper half of Wisconsin and
the counties in the western end of the
northern peninsula of Michigan.
For the fiscal year ending the last of
June, the volume of traffic through the
"a ports of entry was 958,115 as COM
pared with $3.50 for the fiscal year of
1884. The number Of aliens who en-
tered for permanent stay was 1,73O
for 1885 as compared to 1911 for 1884.
629 were rejected by the boards of
special inquiry in 1885 and 891 in 1884.
Number of aliens deported this year
was 81 while the count stood 112 for
last year. Number of aliens natural
lied were 1923 for 1885 and 2,312 for
1884. Petitioners denied citizenship
were IS for this year and AZ last. There
were u convicted for entering Illegally
this year and SO for the last fiscal
year. There are 247 clerks of court
handling naturalization matters in this
district, according to o. B. Holton,
