HATS OFF TO THE PRINTERS!
Col. Theodore Tlooserelt, in an*
tide In the Kansas City Star, pays
«■ mignty fine tribute to the in*
ternatlonal Typographical Union,
the organization of the printers and
affiliated trades. The colonel bas
es his high tribute to the printers
on the published reports of the or
sanitation's hea& officers at In
dianapolis, and savs:
"The published reports of the

International Typographical nion,
issued from Indianapolis, make a
very remarkably showing and put
that organization hi*b on the honor
roll of America for t<ie great war.
Forty-one hundred Jouneymen mem*
hers tf the union and 700 appren
tices are in the military and naval
forces of the United States andt Can
ada. Seventy-five members have'al*
ready paid with their Uvea for their
devotion to their oountry. The un
ion has paid $22,000 mortuary bene"
fits to the widows, orphans and
others of these men.
"The union, througn its executive
council, has invested $90,000 In
the liberty loans, and subordinate
local unions and individual mem
bers have invested three million
d»Uars in the libe;ty loans. These
are war-time activities.
"During the game period; the In
ternational Typographical Union has
continued all its ordinary benefit
works. It has paid over $350,000 to
fifteen hundred old-age pennsioners,
over 440,000 in mortuary benefits
and $170,000 to the union printers'
home at Colorado Springs. Every
dollar has been paid) by members of
eh© 9rganization in the form of
regular dues and assessments; the
union neither solicits nor accepts
contrloution# to its benefit funds.
During the same period the union
ha8 expended only £1,200 for strike
expenses. The union a^ts in thor
oughgoing, patriotic fashion cm
the conviction that there should 6e
no strikes or lockouts during the
war. Its officers legard themselves
as volunteers in the army for the
preservation or industrial peace, at
least for the duration of the war,
and I hope for long after the war
"Such conduct offers a striking
contrast to the action of certain
corporations which during this war
have refused) to permit their emploj;
es to or-auize. Labor has as much
right as capital to organize. It is
tyranny to forbid the exercse of
this right, just as is tyranny to
misuse the power acquired by or*
gauizaiion.
"The people of the United States
do not believe in tyranny and do be*
lieve in co-operation. T he Interna
tional Typographical Union has
offered an admirable example of
Americanism and patriotism, and
its gratitude is typical of the atti
tude o" organized labor generally.
Hats off to the International Typo
graphical Union, and hats off to
the workingmen andi working women
of the United States."
Tbefe is no oeuer crnss or cm
zenship in. the United States ot*
day than the printers and pressmen
employed on the newspapers of the
nation. The business in which they
are engaged rnakts them, far above
the average in intelligence. They
compose a high-class, well'P3-!^
type of skilled craftsmen, loyal to
the government, loyal to the news
paper proprietors and loyal to
themselves.
A Tew ye»rs "go, the question
came ud as to the best-informed
clasg of men in' the country. By
the orocess of elimination the'judg
es—men of nation-wide celebrity—
got down to two classes—professors
in the great colleges in the country!
an<i' proof-readers rn the metropol-1
itan «ewspapers. The proof-read- j
ers won the distinction and the J
decision was ■ & just one. Proof
readers are printers. They are
supposed to know about everything
worth knowing. They have to cor
rect the proofs of the editorial
writers, who think they know some
thing tnemselves; writers on science,
theatricals, sporting events, and
everything else that appears in the
columns of a metropolitan newspa
per. And they have to know or
lose tneir jobs. They can employ
no camouflage in this position.
It would b« interesting to dis
cover what has become of the dyed
in-the-wool I. W. W. who were so
numerous only a few weeks ago.
It is not probable that they have
been shamed into £Oing to work; for
they l.ave been usually impervious
to moral suasion and their num
bers caa not have been apreciably
changed by industrial conditions.
Like tha hobos In busy as well as
in g'ack seasons, they have been
proud 'n their boast that they never
have worked and n«ver would work.
But it ia bow clear that they have
gon© somewhere, end without leav
ing 3 trace behind them. Can it he
posslolo that the presence of the
BUb-chBaers in this part of the
territory ha<i the desired effect?—

\ MOTHERS' PRAYER
Suggested by a drawing of Ley
dendecker in the Saturday Eve
ning Post.
Almighty God, with grac® divine,
0 guide and guard this boy of mine.
In hoaor bound he goes to fight
For what is just and what ia right.
Although my own Ihi flesh and blood1
A tribute to my motherhood,
In life and death, my child, my Bon,
1 humbly pray: "Thy will be done."
O, give him courage, force and might
To biavely stand in manlv fight,
To crush what's unjust, evil, wrong.
To shield the weak against the
strong.
Thou knowest best a woman's heart.
Its tender love when we must part;
But human rights, my hopea sustain,
"To fold him to my breast again."

"stat>3" of pain, annoying uxinapy
disoidtrs, lameness and nervousness.
You can't be comfortable at work
with darting pains and blinding diz
zy spells. Neglect these ailments
and serious troubles may follow.
Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills at
the first sign of disorder. Thous
ands have testified to their merit,

found Doan's Kidney Pills to be
all that is claimed of them for
backache and' kidney trouble. About
a year ago I had a dull pain,' in
the reigon of my kidneys. Often
I cou.d hardly keep going, my
back ?elt so weak and sore. After
I had taken one box of Doan's Kid

j LAY IN SUPPLY OF OXYGEN
i
Substance Necessary in Human Body
to Produce Explosions, Otherwise
Muscular Power.
|
Ton are a whizzbnng, a five-nine and
a 420-howitzer shell alt rolled into one
—if you only knew It. You can explode
.more forcibly than the 200-pound, thin
shell aero bombs on moonlight nights.
And the only thing that saves you from
blowing yourself up every minute of
your life is nature's provision for dis
tributing the spark throughout your
system.
[ Well, its like this:
I Dr. Ronald C. Macfle of Aberdeen,
Scotland has discovered that every
muscular movement Is accomplished by
an explosion. You are different from
an airplane motor In three essentials,
component matter, design and the man
ner of exploding.
When an aero cylinder explodes,
Just so much gns Is gone, not to be re
generated within the motor. But when
you wield the hoe In your war garden,
your muscles of the Hand and arm are
propelled by an explosion of part of
their own substance. The burnt-up
portion Is automatically replaced by
natural processes.
If you require a great deal of mus
cular power—If you explode a jjood
deal. Dr. Macfle explains—you must
eat starchy foods and take all the oxy
gen you can get.
In other words, "lay cS ' the meat,
eat potatoes and go walking in the
open air at night Instead of going to
the movies.
Luminous Paint Useful.
Many Ingenious uses have been found
of late for luminous paint. Watches
•with, dials which glow in the darkness
are becoming common, and only the
other day on order was given for 100,
000 marching compasses with luminous
needles to be carried by soldiers nt
the front. Immense quantities of lum
inous cloth are used by the soldiers
who go over the top. It is cut into
small rectangles about ten inches long
and fastened to the collars of the uni
forms. The soldiers can thus recog
nize their own men In an Indiscrimi
nate fight In the dark. The luminous
paint Is also smeared on the end of
sharpened sticks which, when stuck
Into the ground, make a fairly clear
beacon. Luminous tape is ulso used
by the mile for a variety of purposes.
In this way the stretcher bearers mark
the paths they are to follow. It has
been found that on a dark night the
luminous-paint Is visible for only 60
feet. A soldier can dip his hand In the
paint and signal by describing letters
In the air or by wigwagging, knowing
that the enemy cannot see him a hun
dred feet away.
Euclid In British Army.
Another war hospital publication to
hand Is "With the Woundetj," the or
gan of the Brondesbury Park military
hospital, which also echoes those high
spirits which seem the peculiar prop
erty of war hospitals. Its cont<*nts In
clude "Euclid In the Army," from
which we extract the following defini
tions:
"All regimental sergeant majors are
equal to anything, but the side of any
three sergeant majors, taken together,
Is less than that of any three brigadier
generals taken at random."
"A major has the shortest temper
between two meals."
We should like to see some more of
these definitions.—London Globe.
The Right Spirit
President John Grler Hlbben Of
Princeton said the other day:
"It costs 510,000 to make an airman,
and no airman should be foolishly
reckless, for his country can't afford
to lose him.
"I like to think of the Princeton boy
who was asked, when he went from
his training camp to the front:
" 'Well, are you prepared to die for
your country7
'"Not a bit of it,' said the young
airman. Tm prepared—and well pre
pared—to make about "six Huns dally
