Tired, Poisoned Men.
Good Tory "Argument"

Tired business man, this is for
you. Dr. Ochsner of Chicago very
wise, says your trouble is "accu-
mulation of poisonous fatigue ma-
terial." Cumulative dividends are
pleasing, but accumulating fatigue
poisons are not. Poisons accumu-
late in the system and stay there,
as does mercury when foolish peo
pie take it ftfr medicine. Mere rest
won't get rid of the poison, it must
be worked off. And it takes at
least TWO weeks of work to unload
one week's poison accumulation
What comes on' slowly must go
away slowly.
In their fight for power and
against Lloyd George the British
Tories have developed one ingen-
ious idea. They buy Russian rubles,
give them away at public meetings
Baying to the crowd: "The stuff
we are giving you for nothing used
to be real money, until bolshevisni
got control of Russia. Vote for la-
bor and you will get bolshevism,
and money like this."
You may call it a feeble argu-
ment, but it will make votes. The
honest shilling there and the hun-
dred cent dollar here possess elo-
quence unknown to other political
arguments.
England still looks to aristoc-
racy for guidance. Bonar Law's
new cabinet includes two dukes,
three marquises, four earls, three
viscounts and seevral others, sons
of peers.
Labor candidates ridicule this
noble aggregation, but England
still loves a lord.
You have read almost everything
about suicides, from the philoso-
pher that jumped into a volcano's
mouth to the New Jersey man tired
of dressing and undressing every
day—but this is new.
Mrs. Carrie Kimball, discouraged,
killed herself with gas in Paterson,
N. J., and left a dollar bill to help
the landlady pay for the gas. "En-
closed is a dollar bill for the gas
I used."
Those were the honest suicide's
last words. May she find a world
better than this at the other end
of that gas journey.
The Northern Kansas Telephone
and Power company says to em-
ployes, "Save part of your wages
or lose your job.'' The plan works
well. Every employe must save 10
I>er cent. Many save 30 per cent.
It sounds ideal as far as that group
is concerned. But suppose every-
body saved and became independ-
ent at 40, what would happen to
the present social structure? That
the thoughtless majority can be
trusted to go on spending is for-
tunate for the thoughtful minority.
Henry Ford buys the Wayne Coal
company, largest bituminous coal
stripping concern in the world.
Ford has already bought enough
northern forests to supply him with
wood forever, if he takes care of
the new growth.
He owns one railroad, and though
he is not the richest man in the
world yet, coming next to Rocke-
feller, it looks as though he would

J0IIN8T0WN, Pa., Nov. 7.—Tlie
death toll at the Reilly mine,
Spangler, has been unofficially lived
at eighty-two, with thirty-three In-
jured,several of them so badly that
they may die.
Sixty-five bodies have been re-
covered.
Of the eight bodies still unldenti-
lied, it is believed several may
never be identified.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Nov. 7.—
(United Press)—Fifty-one bodies
have been recovered from the
Reilly mine, wrecked yesterday by
an explosion of gases, it was an-
nounced today as rescue workers
continued to clear away debris.
Fifty more bodies are believed
lying in the ruined workings of the
shaft. m
Hope that survivors other than
those rescued yesterday will be
found has been practically aban-
doned. Thirty-one men who were
brought from the shaft suffering
from injuries and more dead than
alive from poisonous gases, were
in Spangler hospitals.
Several first aid men are also
recovering from exhaustion and
gases.
Mine company officials today
still refused to give out details of
the explosion or make public a list
of employes in the workings.
As near as can be estimated
about 140 men were in the mine.
Of these about 39 were rescued
alive though badly injured. With
the 51 bodies recovered, men and
women familiar with the size of
shifts worked at the place, be-
lieved at least 50 more dead will
be found.
The names of the dead were

night in accepting bids for a safe,
the specifications of which, in mi-
nutest detail, can only be met by
manufacturers for whom W. E.
Fightmaster, president of the board,
is a local agent.
Fightmaster hotly denied Tuesday
that the Cotter-Fightmaster Safe
company,631 West Main, had the
exclusive agency to the Herring-
Hall-Marvin safe, bids for which
were submitted Monday night.
Officials from the Safe-Cabinet
company declared that the specifi-
cations called for described the
Herring-Ilall-Marvin safe even in
the designation in the size of the
book container.
J. D. Stearley, secretary of the
school board declared that Fight-
master did not have anything to do
with the'bid which was sent in
From Cleveland, Ohio, direct.
Bids were received Monday eve-
ning from three different safe com-
panies: Western Bank Supply Co.,
Safe Cabinet Co., and Herring-Hall
and Marvin.
Other safe companies, it was ru-
mored, when they saw the specifi-
cations, decided not to bid at all.
It was said that the Cotter-Fight-
master concern were the only ones
who handled the safe described in
the specifications and that it would
be foolish to make the bids in
competition with what looked like
a cut and dried affair.
The various other concerns, how-
ever, after communication with
higher officials in the various Safe
companies, decided to compete.

Stearley declared that he wanted
an extra-good fireproof safe and
that Ihis was all that the board
had in mind in passing the rigid
specifications.
Action was recently taken to de-
cide upon the kind of safe to lie j
bought, reports say. Several of the j
members of the board were In
charge of this movement, among
whom was W. E. Fightmaster.
Three bids were received. The i
first came from the Western Bank |

$1,079.90. This company was un-
able to meet the specifications
called for in the advertisement and j
offered two separate safes at the

The second bidder was the Safe |

who submitted three bids, one of

of $731.00.
The third bidder was the Her-

"We are too free in America to
