TALK AND PERFORMANCE
Many have felt that Judge Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation, in his refusal to reduce
the wages of his employes and the
prices of his product, is contributing
In great degree to the existing hold
up in the construction work this
country so sadly needs. Judged by
the externals that great corporation
lie represents is as arrogantly block
ing the way to re-sumption of normal
conditions as is the labor union re
fusing to permit its members to work
lor a wage that is reasonable.
Under existing conditions none but
absolutely necessary construction
can be offorded, and the price of
steel and the price of labor are big
fuctors. Other steel concerns are re
ducing their prices, but the effect is
of course not comparable with what
would be produced by like action on
the part of the U. S. Steel concern.
Under the last quotations it is selling
its product for $17 a tbn more than
it got in 1914-15 and its pay scale is
150 per cent higher. This has to be
paid by the people who use the pro
ducts. Ts it fair? Certainly that
may be doubted; strong proof would
he required to convince one of the
contrary, and it would have to de
pend on more than the say-so of
Judge Gary, notwitljstanding the high
«steem in which he is held.
It is possible that he sees his at
titude is indefensible and is trying to
get out from under, otherwise what
he said Tuesday would seem inexcu
sable:
•"I think the most important prob
lems before the people of the United
States and of the world today,” he
said, "relate to the high cost of living.
This should and must be promptly
and radically further reduced. It be
hooves all of us to make every con
sistent effort toward bringing about
an early return to a normal and rea
sonable basis of living. Opportunity
for great success and prosperity is
offered In this country and we should
take advantage of it. I have great
< onlidence in the incoming adminis
tration.”
Very good, judge, Now if you will
kindly do your part and not bother
the rest of us with .your advice per
haps the world may profit thereupon.
In this connection it might be perti
nent to inquire if the judge has given
any of his advice to the cement
trust, now under investigation but
not thought to be losing any sleep.
DON’T DARE DO IT
"It was impossible for us to believe
the Germans could be such fools,” is
said to be a remark frequently heard
in London and elsewhere. This
would seem to apply to the German
people, though not to the representa
tives at the London conference. They
expressed a good deal in these words,
referring to the alternative In case of
disagreement over the reparations:
"Well, perhaps that is the only way
out. If Brland yielded, his govern
ment would fall; if we yielded, our
government would fall. Therefore
the only course is for the allies to
impose their terms.”
Undoubtedly the German reaction
aries, seeking a return of the old
regime, are prepared to make the
most of disturbances, and very likely
would be able to get control of the
government in event of the present
rulers accepting the terms without
objection. Moreover there is always
the hope, long cherished in the Ger
man breast, of a falling out between
the allies, among whom they have
long and industriously sowed seeds
of dissension. The allies are fully
aware of this and fully recognize the
need of concerted /action on their
part. Yet, human nature is human
nature, and constant dripping will
wear away a stone, so there is danger
for the allies in any cooperative effort
to compel the payment of the repara
tions. A high-spirited people would
much prefer _ to settle the claims,
however,' than undergo the humilia
tion which must attend a forcible col
lection of them.
Is it fair to expect a Legislature
that denied the judges an increase of
salary to add to their burdens the ap
pointment of clerks of courts?
The Bolsheviks And their schemes
of world conquest interfered with by
revolt at home. Evidently the Rus
sian people are in a desperate mood.

ENTITLED TO REASONABLE
CONSIDERATION
Those who favor the continuance
of the Medical School of this State
ask that the question be given care
ful consideration. They regard.some
of the .estimates made by the oppo
nents as fantastically exaggerated;
that while it is possible to expend
any sum with which silch an institu
| tion may be endowed it would be im
possible for Maine’s medical school
to obtain any such sums and absurd
to think of asking for them.
The following is an excellent sum
ming up of the reasons advanced by
those favoring the school, and among
these, it is worth while noting, is the
fact that Maine will lose a large sum
of money available for this purpose
if the school is not continued; i -
First—The medical school is be
coming more and more an educa
tional center for the physicians,
health officers, hospitals, nurses and
pebble of the State. A state that has
no medical school cannot maintain a
satisfactory' standard in medicine and
sanitation.
Second—Maine boys should be giv
en an opportunity to obtain a medi
cal education within the State. If
they are obliged to leave the State for
a medical education it is very im
probable that they will return to
practice in Maine. Many of our
greatest physicians have started their
education as poor boys. To such
boys, the cost of an out of State
medical education is prohibitive. For
instance, at Johns Hopkins Medical
College the average personal expense
of each student is approximately
$1200 a year, while at Bowdoin Medi
al School it is between $600 and $700.
Third—If there were no medical
school in this State, the scarcity of
doctors which now exists in many
communities would become more
acute. In the last 17 years the num
ber of medical students in the coun
try has decreased from 28,000 to
14,000.
F’ourth—If the school is not con
tinued. a large sum of money now
available for medical education will
bo lost. With the property now held
in trust by Bowdoin College that will
undoubtedly be transferred to the re
organized school, and with the new
building promised by Mr. Chisholm,
the medical school, if proper arrange
ments are made'by the State, can do
a very useful work in Maine.
AND WONDER AT CRIME?
“Can you expect that a criminal
will be afraid if he can appeal a
crime with the chance of seventy
five per cent that the charge will be
filed, nol prossed or placed on proba
tion. or that if he runs away, his
bondsman will get off for $26?”
So inquired the attorney general
of Massachusetts of the joint judi
ciary committee of his state’s legis
lature at a hearing. Wednesday.
It is a pertinent inquiry, it would
seem, although a child may answer
it, for there is but one answer and
that is most obvious. The criminal
who has money to spend for lawyers
apparently goes about his iniquity,
if not in utter disregard at least with
nonchalant heed of the law.
New York now has a law under
which a man if he gets drunk on
liquor given him may sue the giver
for any damages he incurs. Moral,
don’t give any liquor away while in
New York.

IODINE HEALS
RUNNING SORES
QUICK- RELIEF
Old Sores, Abscesses, Soils, Ring
worms. Chronic Ulcers, etc., are best
treated and most quickly healed by the
application of Iodine, says a well
known authority who also stales that
the wide-spread use of Iodine in army
medical corps, has thoroughly proved
Its great value. He warns, however,
against the use of common tincture of
Iodine, because in this form, it irri
tates and stains the skin. The new
form of Iodine—I.anolated Iodine Com
pound is the best for such purposes.
Tdiis comes in the form of an ointment,
and is practically stainless, will not
irritate, and is readily absorbed by
the tissues. In the Lanolated form,
Iqdlne is easy and pleasant to use and
every disagreeable feature has been
removed. It quickly penetrates, soothes,
cleanses, and heals and is reallv de
lightful. Nearly all local dfuggista
now sell and 'recommend 1-anolated
Iodine, Try it today! We believe
nothing you have ev.cr used will prove
so effective and satisfying.—Adv

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
; ... _
PimplM arc Impurities Sssking an
Optlat Through Skin Poraa.
Pimples, sores and boils usually
result from toxins, poisons and Im
purities which are generated in the
bowels and then absorbed into the
blood through' the very ducts which
should absorb only nourishment to
sustain the body. .
It is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine,
but in many instances the bowels
create more toxins and impurities
than the kidneys can eliminate, then
the blood uses the skin pores as the
next best means of getting rid of
1 these impurities which often break
out all over the skin in the Jorm of
pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted author
ity, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot!
water each morning before breakfast
for one week. This will prevent the
formation of toxins In the bowels, j
It also stimulates the kidneys to nor
mal activity, thus coaxing them to
filter the blood of impurities and
clearing the skin of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and .lemon juice, combined with
lithia. Here you have a. pleasant,
effervescent drink which usually
makes pimples disappear: cleanses
the blood and is excellent for the kid
neys as well.—Adv.

> My Mother’s Prayer
(Ethel Ward Strickland)
Ah, long ago at ray mother’s knee,
I learned to say my prayers,
When but a child at her side I knelt
Her hand upon my hair.
! "Now I lay me down to sleep,"
Those words I still can hear,
Tho’ many,a day doth lie between,
Ah yqs, and many a year.
j “I pray the Lord my soul to keep,"
Oft stumbling I would say.
i Until at last my childish lips
I Did learn the prayer to say.
! "If I should die before I wake,”
The words meant little then,
! But as 1 older grew I found
They came to me again.
| "I pray the Lord my soul to take,”
When earthly tasks are done,
When all life's burdens slip away
Like mist before the sun.
•
And tho' the lips that taught that
prayer
Are silent now and cold.
The words that then I learned to pray
My heart shall ever hold.
Ah. mother dear, could I but be
A child with you once more,
And say that prayer at your knee.
As in those days of yore.
New ties we form; new friends we
make,
And each may help another,
But there's no one that's half so true,
Nor half so dear as Mother.
.
And when the twilight shadow’s
Shall bring me at last to sleep,
T. know thrft she’ll be praving
That God my Soul will keep.
That he'll lead me through the porta
Ut that country bright and fair,
Where I shall hope at last to hear
Again, my Mother's prayer.
resolutions recommending that
members of the Maine federation of
Vi omen's Clubs adopt one orphaned
Armenian child from the 250,000
now in the Near East have been
approved by the State-wide wom
en's organization. The Near East
Relief cannot consider its work com
plete while there is still one orphdn
ed child in all Armenia unclothed,
uneducated or unfed, and so the
Maine Federation of Women’s Clubs
has urged upon the communities
represented the vital need of con- I
tinuing the work of the Near East
Relief. It was recommended that
the membership should adopt one
orphaned Armenian from the quar
ter-million on whose very lives de
pend the aid the Near East Relief
can give, so that his support is as
sured and his faith in the generosity
of America strengthened.
A mighty slick piece of work was
that done by Morse Willis when he
moved from the Arthur F. Richard
son to the John Hasty place on

try house, 00 feet long and 30 wide
without breaking a single pane of
glass. This was moved in two sec
tions each 30 feet square over a
distance of something like two
miles. In hauling the building four
yoke of oxen and four horses were
used. Mr. Hasty is to go quite ex
tensively into the poultry business.

once a week. Besides all this, I suf

completely discouraged, for nothing I
tried did me a bit of good.
“Well, I 'am certainly grateful to

“A Good Excuse for Studying Poli
tics."— That isn’t the title ot the book
at all. The correct name of it is
“Manual for Maine Government,” but
the 150 pages it contains are so jammed
full of mighty interesting matter that
one forgets he is dlscussing.or digest
ing the fundamentals of political gov
ernment. Henry E. Dunnack, the
State librarian, is responsible for the
work and he has done a job that en
titles him to the congratulations of
male and female voters alike. The
hook has been compiled for the wom
en's division of the Republican State
committee.
But just because it has been gotten
together for the women, is no reason
why the men should not look at it. As
a rhatter of fact, there is more good
solid stuff to It than has been seen in
any smaller or larger book for years.
There are hundreds of things about the
State of Maine—actually hundreds—
that are unfamiliar but should be
familiar.
All forms of local government in
the State, city government, town gov
ernment, the State government and
the National government come in for
their share of attention and are treated
in a way that cannot fail to put the
fundamental principles across, as the
advertising men say. In addition to
discussion on government, there are a
number of other features that tend to
make this little book valuable for any
man to have in his home or his office.

When asked what was her impres

that was her surprising answer—
“They seem to be so modest.” And
it goes without saying that the girls
accept such an impression as a com
pliment.
The succulent onion has a hundred

that an onion is a nice thing to have
around because it absorbs any dis
