Among other things be said: In accordance with a beautiful and j time-honored custom you have met 'thiB afternoon to remember those of jyour numbers who have crossed the 'mystic river of death. Today all dif ferences are forgotten, all distinctions lost sight of. In the sacred memories enshrined with your hearts. "I feel that there is something sa cred in such an occasion. With rever ence and respect you have read the 1 names of your dead, and have place? lyour flowers here, symbolic or your affection and your love: And flowers i never And a sweeter use tnan wnen I they shed their fragrance in such cause and speak of memories that never, never die. "You call your organisation 'The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.' I confess myself agreeably surprised to learn of the strength and influence of your order. "I congratulate you on a member ship of 73,000 men, banded together under the motto 'Sobriety, Truth, Jus tlce and Morality.' "Well may you point with pride to the fact that during the few years of vour history, your order has Daid In honnflta f h a nrinrelv sum nf 130 .MM - uim i ne Droaa nana 01 cnaniy nas ever been open to a needy brother." The speaker dwelt at some length on the thought of "Brotherhood" and what Is demanded In the various rela tions of life. Then speaking of the hazardous na ture of the occupation of the men be fore him. he continued: "Your work is full of danger. When you sit in the cab. your hand upon the throttle, many lives and much valuable property Is In your keeping. Place of Trust. "Your position is one of trust and responsibility. Many a brave engineer has gone down In a wreck rather than prove recreant to that trust. When he so dies, he dies a hero, and is worthy a heroe's grave. With a thrill of admiration we read of the brave knights In the olden days of chivalry. But my praise this after noon Is for the knight In blue blouse and overalls. "It Is the glory of our common human ity, that such heroic qualities often lie, unrecognized In the humblest lives. And when brought to light by some emergency, they glorify not only the man who does them, but all men. who so labor with fidelity that may become heroic. "But while your work Is haaardous. you have the 'Electric Block Signal for your safety. I do not need to tell you that it Is a dangerous thing to ig nore its friendly warning and 'run the block.' "So In all the practical duties of life, an a man among men. as a citizen of the state, as a member of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, you have such a guide. It la conscience the monitor who warns you of dan ger and tells you when the way is clear. "I am sorry for the man who guages manliness by the ease with which he stifles the voice of conscience, or who counts brave the man who recklessly transfers conscience under his feet. "The engineer of a fast train on the Pennsylvania railroad discovered a man on the top of a signal pole at an important junction where three roads crossed. With his fist he was destroy ing the signal lamps! The fellow was insane: and was doing it simply to enjoy the excite ment he would experience in witness ing a wreck. In his madness he was destroying the signal light. Like that, is the man who trifles with conscience God's signal light in his soul. Safety demands that the signal light be kept clear and in perfect con dition. Keep Conscience Clear. So keep conscience clear. Keep it sensitive to the right. For the strong est character will be wrecked without a conscience that beats in unison with the deep throbbing of the heart of God. "Someone reminds us that while the locomotive is one of the greatest ser vants of mankind it also requires great care. All night long in the round bouse, a man has been rubbing down the great iron horse, until every rod and cylinder shines like a mirror.. "When the engineer comes, he ex amines the big steam horse carefully to see that everything is all right. Ail bearings are oiled, and when every thing is ready the engine is run out and hitched to the train. Then for fear something might have been over- an expert mechanic comes along and strikes a sharp blow on ev ery wheel, to make sure that wheel and axle are sound. "This is only a suggestion of how carefully we ought to keep body, mind and soul. Thus shall we avoid wreck ing our lives; and having reached the end of life's division in safety turn in our report, and receive the commen dation of the General Superintendent. So may It be with us. one and all." Miss Beck gave a solo and Miss Marie Williams, a reading, after which the song. "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again." was susig as the closing J. H. Strief, Sioux City, Urges Affiliation With National Union Organization. TAKE REFERENDUM VOTE Points Out Advantages to Be Gained in Being Associated With Pow- erful Federation. That the letter carriers of the United States nuist affiliate with the Ameri can Federation of Labor if they ex pect to secure favorable legislation. was pointed out in a strong appeal which was made to tri-city members of the National Letter Carriers' associa tion by J. H. Strief, Sioux City, presi dent of the Iowa Federation of Labor, at a mass meeting held Saturday even ing at 8:30 at the postofflce building. Otto Behnke, president of the Davenport Letter Carriers' association, presided and introduced Mr. Strief. The speaker commented on the fact that there is now being taken a refer endum vote on the question of affilia tion with the labor federation and that the result will be not known un til July 31. The outcome is being awaited with unusual interest. Mr. Strief enumerated the many advantages which would be gained through association with the labor movement. He told of the powerful ! legislative committees and the work ; which they are doing in Washington, the state capitals and in some of the arger cities. He referred to the nat ural strength of numbers and made the point that the letter carriers could not hope to better their condition, un less they become a part of the great labor propaganda. He explained in detail the relation of the various unions to the central organization and declared the impression erroneous that the American Federation ' of Labor could call a strike. . Labor Cause Grows, "This is a matter which rests entire ly with each separate body," he de clared. "Printers, postofflce clerks and machinists in government employ are now affiliated with the labor organ ization and I hope the time will soon come when the mail carriers will fol low their lead. The labor cause is growing. For the first time in nistory there is a union man in the president's cabinet. William B. Wilson, secretary of labor, carries a union caru ana for eight years was international secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America," faT ' 1 Guide to Safe July Investments .

IF KIDNEYS AND BLADDER BOTHER Take a glass of Salts to flash out jour Judneyi and neutralize irri tating' acids. Kidnev and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidnevs filter this acid from the blood and pass it oa to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and ia very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakneps, moat folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and some times very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a table spoon ful in a glas of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer ia a source of irritation to the bladder and urinarv or gans which then act normally again. Jad ealts is inexpensive. Harmless. and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, an.l is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caised bv uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen did for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. Harper House rharmacy. (Adv.)
