"America For Americans
STRIKES IX TIME OF WAR
Tea million young men in this
country have been registered sub
ject to draft. If physically quali
fied, and not exempted, they may
be required to give up theiT busi
ness, their meaus of livlihood, and
even their lives. The pay received
as a soldier will hardly equal the
lowest wage or salary received as
«. private individual. The soldiers
will have no right ot power to
strike for a higher wage. They
must work eight. ten or fifteen
hours, as the situation may demand.
Whether they shall be kept equip
l>ed. armed and fed depends upon
«hose who remain at home.
Under the bills already passed
and still to be passed by congress,
Iho wealth of this country is being
conscripted to furnish the money
needed to carry on the war. This
money taken from incomes. war
profits, estate, etc., will buy the
equipment, the food and the muni
tions required *o keep and main
tain our armies.
.No properly qua'ified man with
in the age limit can avoid going
to war. No qualified person In
tlie United States can avoid paying
the tax out of which oup soldiers
are cared for. "We have conscrip
tion o' men; we have conscriptioc
of wealth. There is only one class
iu the community that is apparent
ly under no obligations, and that is
labor. \Ve need ships to take our
men abroad and to carry the food
to our men and to the allies. La
bor, which avoids going to war on
the ground that it is necessary to
stay in this country, strikes for
wases several time's greater than
the wage of our soldier. Tens of
thousands of miners in Illinois and
Kentucky refuse to produce coal, the
lack of which, is causing anxiety
wot oaly to manufacturers, but to
householders, especially in the
Northwest and in New England,
every day that the strikers remain
out of the mines, just so much coal
fails to bo produced.
The wages paid" the miners are
several times the "wage of a sol
dier; the miner's hours are much
shorten than the soldier's hours;
but : ~ apparently is exempt from
any obligation to this nation in
time Qi war. The owner of a fac
tory, • mine or a farm is compelled
to deliver, at a price fixed by the
government, w hatever the govern
ment wants. The young man duly
qualified is compelled to deliver his
life if reed be to the nation, and to
receive pay of ? 1 per day for four
teen hours' labor. Those jvho re
main at, home to furnish food, equip
ment, coal, munitions, etc., refuse
to -work unless paid several tiems
the pay of a soldier, threaten to tie
up all our industries and to destroy
the produce of out farms, and the
leaders of labor maintain that la

ARMY COURTE8Y I
You are careful to observe the
ordinary courtesies in your civilian
life. You would soon make your
self • ffenslve to all your friends if
you were in the habit of passing
with a cold stare or a discourteous
nod.
i These customary rules of pood
breeding apply in a slightly differ
ent form in the Army. There is
Ithe same reason for them in the
Army as in civil life. Courtesy
helps to make the great Army ma
chine run more smoothly. It is the
outward sign that the right rela
tions *:xist among offcers and men.
Importance Of Correct Forms
Courtesy among military men
is shown by speaking and acting iqj
a respectful manner. It is shown:
also by using the correct form of
recognition. This correct form
when meeting or addressing commis
sioned officers is known as the mili
tary salute. j
Proper Way To Salute
In order to give the salute pro
perly when you are without arms,
first assume the position of a sol
dier (as described in . a preceding
lesson), or if you are walking car
ry yourself at attention. Look
the officer you are to salute
straight in the eye. When he ia
<» few paces away from you "raise
the right hand smartly till the
tip of the forefinger touches the
lower part of the head dress or
tlvA riehl eve. thumhi
anil fingers extended aod Joined,
palm to the left, farearm inclined
at abou* 45°, hand and wrist
straight. Continue to look the of
ficer you are saluting straight in thq
eye and keep your hand in the po
sition ol salute until the officer ac
knowledges the salute or until he
has caused. Then drop the hand;
smartly to the side. The salute is
given with the right hand only."
CManua] lor Noncommissioned Of
ficers and Privates, sec 6.)
You will learn the Tifle salute
after you have reached the train
ing camp. In general it is used
whenever you are carrying a rifle,
except when on guard duty, in
which case you ordinarily present
arms instead of saluting.
Ot> er Army Courtesies
Never forget that it is not only
required of you ajs a duty, but
is also your right and privilege, to
oalute all commissioned officers
and to have your courtesy returned.
This statement assumes, of course,
that vou are in good standing as a
soldier. A military prisoner is
not permitted to salute
It is the custom of the Army in,
speaking to an officer to sjand at
attention and use the word "sir.'*
In all official conversation refer to
other soldiers by their titles—for
example, "Sergeant Smith" or "Pri
vate Brown," not merely "Smith"
or "Brown."
TREAD WELL COMPANY
ERECTING LARGE FOUNDB1Q
The Treadwell Company is erect
ing an addition to its already large
foundry, the new structure cover
ing 50 by 150 feet.
Ia ibe nejv portion of the foun
dry will be installed a complete out
fit of new machinery including an
electric furnace yrhich will alone
coet ic. the neighborhood of $45,
000.
The new building will be com
pleted in a short time and the fur
nace and other equipment will ar
rive and be installed during Oc
tober.
The fact that this substantial out
lay of money is being made now
and at a time when all kinds of
Jauilding material and machinery ii
at too prices is indicative that such,
improvement is badly needed by the
company and that such need is re
quired by more extensive operations
than liave been carried on in the
recent past.
An inexpensive electric fire al
arm may be attached to any electric
doorbell. When a ffre starts and
raises the room temperature even
a few degrees the doorbell will
ring until it ia shut off.
labor bxcept at prices and for such,
hours as labor itself may fix. Com
pulsory arbitration even between
employer and employe is resisted.
How long will the people of the
United States be satisfied to have our
young men's lives conscripted, our
wealth conscripted, and let men
who stay at home refuse to per
form any part except on their own
lerms?—Boston Herald. • _
Money In tho Idea.
"TLere la money in maintenance,"
the Electrical Merchandising Magazine
points out. "Large liotels do not buy
glassware; they contract with a glass
concern which keeps them stocked at
60 much per month regardless of the
amount of breakage. Taxlcab compa
nies in the big cities do not buy tires;
they contract with a tire dealer to keep
their ears equipped at a set price per
car per year, regardless of punctures
and blowouts. Now comes the story of J
an electrical contractor who Is profit- !
lng by keeping the ele:trie equipment I
of his customers in order on a monthly J
maintenance basis.
"The idea is net new. The jjlass man
borrowed it from somewhere; tho taxi 1
tire man borrowed it from him, and so
it goes. Originality is almost an un
known thing. A clever business man
la simply one who udapts borrowed
ideas successfully—and who does It
first In his locality."

Experiment.
If you suffer from backache;
headaches or dizzy spells; if you
rest poorly and are languid iu
the morning; if the kidney secre
tions are irregular and unnatural
in appearance, do not delay. In
such cases the kidneys often need
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for kidney trouble —
they are recommended by thousandf
Read the following interesting state
mast,
Mrs. M. E. Gag en, 1013-A Florida
St., San Francisco, Cal., says: "1
had dropsy and other kidney
trouble and was miserable. My
back couldn't have given me any
more misery if I had broken it,
My kidneys were weak and my feet,
ankles and .hands became swollen, ac
a result. I felt so miserable, run
down and depressed I was discour
aged. I could hardly bend over
because my back hurt me go much
Doan'a soon strengthened and' regu
lated my kidneys. The swelling
went away and I was again well
and had all my former] strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
