 Scores Action
Scores Action

The State Labor Department is characterized as the "anti-labor department" in a statement by In- ternational Representative Ovide Garceau of the Mine, Mill & Smell ter Workers Union, C.IO. He scored the department for it's failure to act on union charges that black list" has been set up the Risdon Manufacturing Compayn, where a strike has been in progress since Aug. 20.
 Basis of the criticism is the unions contention that the firm has refused to grant separation notices to striking employees wish ing to resign to take other jobs. State law requires that such notices be given a resigning workers within 24 hours, MT. Garceau said.
 He charged that the failure of the Labor Department to act against the company was Gin sharp contrast to the way state agencies of Gov. Baldwin's administration act when employers ask for serv- ice"
 Yesterday MT. Garceau an- nounced that an opinion from the Labor Department had upheld the unions position that the company was legally bound to issue the sepa- ration notices.

Continued from Page D exile the bureaucratic witch doc- tors and throw out their quack remedies" He called for rtturn to private initiative" saying that operating under the law of supply and demand it would soon bring back For Rent" and For Sale" signs. Private builders, he said, "are styrnied by red tape and shortages caused by the misman- agement of impractical bureaucrats and reformers."
 He described the Wagner Ellen der-Taft bill as "a political move to control the homes and votes of mil- lions of Americans" and accused public housing authorities in Bos- ton and other large centers of "try- ing to siphon off scarce materials to build slum clearance housing when they are reeded to complete veterans housing already under construction"
 Thousands of homes for vet erans stand uncompleted with builders unable to get materials through our controlled economy" Hofford said and added, i've need a moratorium on government hous- ing"
 "It's foolish to believe that the city, State or Federal government can wave a magic wand and build houses for veterans when materials are not available. Private enterprise can provide all the housing we need in this country, if given chance" 1" he contended, concluding that we will have a scarcity of houses, and high prices until the OPA is tossed out the window"

 The truck strike in New York was blamed for minimizing the shipment of sugar here during the past week.
 No indication has been given by the OPA if a further extension of the validity period of Stamp 49 may be given.

 Keep Feet GrOOnned
By ALICIA HART

Wearing foot protectors - stock ings minus legs-when you dispense with hosiery is summer must for good grooming. These cotton, rayon or nylon foot coverings make feet feel better by keeping soles from contact with clanmy shoe Innings The protectors shield the shoes from precipitation and dirt which bare feet bring in, an im- portant consideration when you re- member how necessary it is to safeguard hard-to-get footwear.
 You wouldn't think any woman would go into shoe store and thrust barred foot upon a stool to be fitted, would you? Yet shoe saleSmen say that there are wom- en who do. Rightly, of course, a salesman can refuse to fit a cus- toner who shows so little consider ation for the niceties of good groom ing and for the stores merchandise. But when he has to refuse. he's put on spot, and there's no need now that pedal coverings are more available-for a woman to bring em- barraSsment upon either the sales man or herself.

It was not my intention to in- clude peptic, gastric, duodenal, stomach ulcer among the complaints embraced under the general term Yankee stomach" but from the queries in the daily mail it is evil dent that a good many persons who have ulcer or are cultivating the trouble have gone Yankee at least enough to see what the pamphlet Yankee Stomach has to say about it = any one who asks for it in writing and incioses stamped self addressed envelope may have a copy. However, any one who has or even suspects he or she has gas tric or duodenal ulcer will find information and advice more to the point in the booklet So You Have Indigestion" mailed on written request if you inclose with your stamped self addressed envelope a clean dime U. s. I mean clean if you smear it up with gum, chick en wire, pins. staples, adhesive, glue or other unpleasant stuff you will be disappointed.
 A great deal of high school psy- chology has been retailed in recent years in reference to stomach ulcer in fact the sum notion that it is in some way due to anxiety or busi- ness responsibilities has pleased the customers so much that it has be- come cliche in movie and radio chatter No psychologist, I don't take any stock in the idea-not any more than I take in the somewhat older notion-that, well, you know the imposing description of the | heavy strain of executive" life causes whatever the snug ones please to conceal under the name of nervous breakdown" or com plete nervous exhaustion
 Whether stomach or duodenal ul- cer is actually more frequent today than 1t was fifty years ago, I have no idea. If it is more frequent now I do not believe any kind of care responsibility or similar cause is of much importance, compared witt ficiency and (b) constant irritation of the stomach and duodenum.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Heart Tonic

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Heart Tonic
 I am 87 years old. When I am breaking down digitalis peps me up, but leaves me with nausea which spells appetite.
 CMrs. E. C. W)
 Answer-Next time take each dose in or with two teaspoonfuls of an agreeable syrup of vitamin B. complex-and continue taking teaspoon of the B-complex syrup Cor the same amount of vitamin B complex in capsule, pill or tablet form, two or three times day right along, as real heart and stomach tonic. You should not take digi- tails at all unless your physician examine you regularly, and regu- lates your dosage.
 The Best Fertilizer
 We have vegetable garden near the city sewage disposal plant. and the garden was fertilized with sludge this spring Will it endanger our health to eat vegetables from the garden this summer?
 w. RED Answer-No. In fact there is no good reason why the sludge from all sewage disposal plants should not be used as fertilizer-it is the best of all fertilizers. The natural fer mentation process destroys any di- sease germs in the sewage. Eggs
 For two years have had what the doctor called cardio-renal disease. The doctor and a heart specialist discouraged me about eating eggs. However, find that in your CVD booklet you recommended eggs for breakfast. U. S)
 AnsWer-I know of no good rea- son why one with cardio-vascular disease (heaft and artery degenera- tion) or cardio-renal disease (heart and kidney disease, Bright's disease, nephritis) should not eat eggs. Your doctor may have suspected you were allegric to egg white. If not, in your place I'd eat eggs for break fast whenever I wanted them. l hope there is no notion that the albumen (white) of egg has any thing to do with olbumen in the urine. That quaint notion need not deter you from eating eggs.
