BRITISH LABORITE MINISTRY SEEKS TO SETTLE STRIKE New Cabinet Members Busy Early, Though Not Formally in Office. by ED L. KERN, General European Manager United Press. LONDON, Jan. 23.—The first act of the MacDonald government, even be fore it was formally in office, was to attempt settlement of the rail strike. MacDonald presided over the first meeting of his cabinet at the historic residence of premiers at No. 10 Downing St., this afternoon While the government was passing into the hands of its laboring class every effort was made to end the slowly spreading industrial paralysis of transportation. Arthur Henderson already has assumed duties as home secretary, although a seat in Commons must be founci for him before he can be officially given the seals of office. It is characteristic of MacDonald he instructed Henderson not to wait, 2>ut to “get busy and compose the dlf ferences of the engineers and firemen and their employers.” The British spirit of fair play is manifest in ne press and public reception to the laborites.

LEWIS FORCES WIN MEETINGSKIRMISH (Continued From Page 1) was adopted by a substantial majority. Among the speakers who defended Murray was John Hessler, president of the Indiana miners. Lewis Report Adopted The report of International President Lewis was adopted without comment and that of William Green, international secretary, was adopted after a short discussion. Mayor Shank addressed the conven tion, declaring he wished every miner belonged to the union. “The consumer would not kick on the price of coal If he knew the miner got his share,” he said. The hope of miners throughout the world depends upon progress of American miners, John Gay, Albia, lowa, told the convention In a report of tie American delegates to the International Mining Congress, held last August tn Frankfort-on-Main, Germany. William Mitch, Terre Haute, the second delegate, also read his report. The scale committee is to meet at 7:30 p m. at miners’ headquarters. Merchants Bank building. Position Strengthened The position of John L. Lewis, presi dent of the miners, is materially strengthened with the appointment of Frank Farrington, head of the Illinois district, as chairman of the scales committee. Reports that the two ieaders had smoothed out their long-standing dis ferences apparently were confirmed when Lewis named Farrington chair man of the scales committee, the most important post in the convention. Farrington, it is understood, is in accord with Lewis’ belief that the big fight before the miners is for a long-term contract to stabilize the in dustry and eliminate unemployment, rather than a battle for a further in crease in wages. Wage Question Avoided Lewis, in his annual report, avoided the wage question, but brought out the long-term contract proposal as the chief administration plank for the convention to considerHessler, a conservative, was named secretary of the committee. The scales committee wilty consider suggestions on wages and worldng conditions presented by the local unions and ndivtdual miners. Two Candidates Appear Its program, as approved or amended on the floor of the conven tion, will represent miners' demands at the joint wage conference in Jacksonville, Fla.. Feb. 11. Politics began to simmer with the appearance of two candidates for election to the international conference of i miners which will he held at Prague.

What’s the Reason? IN thousands o! homes where one or more of the family are nervous and irritable, the cause may be hidden —hard to understand. But usually, “There’s a Reason.” Doctors and dietitians are very generally agreed that people who are nervous or suffer with digestive disturbances should not drink coffee or tea because these beverages contain a drug, caffeine, and their use tends to increase nervous irritability. Many of us just drift into wrong habits or eating and drinking, though we usually know better. So if there are nervous ones in your family, suppose you make a change—serve Postum for thirty days. Postum is a pure cereal beverage. It furnishes all the pleasure of a hot drink—cheery warmth and good flavor. Postum is refreshing, satisfying, healthful; and there’s nothing in all the world quite so eSective as health to overcome nervousness and make life worth while. Postum for Health

“There’s a Reason 99

Your grocer sells Postum in two forms; Instant Postum {in tins] prepared instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal {in packages] lor those who prefer the flavor brought out by boiling fully 20 minutes. The cost of either form Ia about one-half cent • cup.

Mr. Coolldga recommended as remedial measures: a.. Refunding of “the pressing past due indebtedness of the farmer in the territory most seriously affected. 2. Financial assistance through a Federal agency to enable wheat farmers to make a change from a single crop system to deverslfled farming. 3. “Restoration, wherever it would be helpful of the Impaired capital of banking institutions in the distressed sections. 4. "Creation by private capital of a substantial financing corporation to assist in the plan of bank re-organiza-tions.” 5. Extension until Dec. SI, 1924, of the power of the War Finance Corporation to make loans. This power expires March 31. The President pointed out some arrangement must be made that ■will insure money loaned by the Government reaching the farmers and not being swallowed up immediately by their creditors, the banks. Loans of that sort will not help the farmers a particle, he said. He urged business in the region affected, including merchant insurance companies and the like, to cooperate in every way to help the farmer. Discussing the situation confronting wheat farmers, the President said: "Great number of individual farmers are so Involved In debt, both on mortgages, to merchants and banks, they are unable to preserve the equity of their properties. They are unable to undertake the diversification of farming fundamentally necessary for sound agricultural reconstruction of the area. They are unable to meet their obliga tions and thereby has been Involved the entire mercantile and banking fabric of these regions. "Not only have there been large numbers of foreclosures on actual farms, but there are great numbers of farmers who are continuing in possession on sufference from their creditors. There have been large and Increasing bank failures. Bills have been Introduced providing for the lending by the Federal Government of monies directly to the farmers for purposes of assisting them in conversion of their farms on the basis of diversified farming. “Such legislation, however, will be of little avail unless arrangements have been effected between the farmer and his creditors, by the funding of ppst due Indebtedness and Interest or by similar means, so the loan will inure to the benefit of the farmer himself.” Bush Stands Up for Farmers Farmers are not getting the consideration they deserve In Indiana, according to Edgar Bush, former Lieu tenant Governor. A review of farm conditions was given by Bush at the Gyro Club luncheon at the Lincoln Tuesday.

SOUR STOMACH IS CAUSED BY ACIDS Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of Jad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxic acids. Rheumatism is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are generated in the bowels and absorbed Into the blood. It Is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out In the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this Impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this poison, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling In the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Saks; put a tablespoonful In a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove body waste also to stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Uthia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.—Advertisement.
