THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

AND SUN-TELEGRAM

We can never get the vote until we terrorize the politicians.. Mrs. Pankhurst.

Thel.W.W. The government struck a smashing blow at the I. W. W. leaers of the West when it arrested twenty-seven ringleaders in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana yesterday. This organization, which proposed to tie-up the lumber, mining and agricultural industries of the Far West, has terrorized this section of the United States for months. Violent anarchism characterizes the spirit of the I. W. W. It proposes to gain its end by ordering walk-outs in the harvest fields and the mines. It has suggested that it would not stop short of arson and dynamiting to win its contentions. President Wilson acted wisely and courageously in crippling the leadersof the movement. The United States is in - no mood to be patient with men who are trying to impair the effectiveness" of our mines, forests and fields at a time when their outputs are vitally necessary for the prosecution of war that strikes at the very foun

dation of our national strength. The I. W. W. had decided to call a general strike of harvest hand3 today. Thousands and thousands of acres of" wheat are ready for the

harvest in Washington, Idaho and Montana now. One need not have a vivid imagination to appreciate the seriousness of interference with this work. Enemies within our own country deserve the most rigorous punishment that can be inflicted. The I. W. W. leaders have been loud in their threats and denunciations. Part of their boldness can be traced to the ineffectiveness of local governments to deal sharply with the movement. Federal action usually is effective in quelling out

Letter of a Father to His Son in the

BY AUGUSTUS THOMAS OF,TH E VIGILANTES (Thia letter was written by a solicitous father to his .son about to oo to France. It is a personal letter and the writer never dreamed of publication when he wrote it. But the Managing Editor of The Vigilantes happened to see the letter, and at his urgent request Mr. Thomas, who is an enthusiastic Vigilante and a member of the Executive Committee of the organization, permitted him to use it in The Vigilantes service.)

My Dear Son: I was interested in the report of the boys in their hike under the full packs, and their readiness to fall asleep when chance came at the end of the day. That "dog-tired" fatigue i9 the kind that brings the most complete relaxation and the fullest recuperation. We learn late in life some of us that the secret of recuperation, and therefore the secret of power, not only physical power, but also power mental and spiritual, is the ability to relax. You are probably going to France, and if so will often have great need of the quickest replenishment of your expended strength. Perhaps you will remember more definitely some suggestions about relaxing if I give you the basic reasons for them. I used to amuse you when you were a little fellow by "hypnotising mosqultos." You will recall that a mosquito that would fly from my hand or face when you tried to catch him would sit still for men until I. slowly picked him up. The trick in that was my waiting until I felt hi3 sting, and then taking a deep breath, and "pushing on it" or tensing up. That tension automatically closed all the pores of the skin, and the mosquito who had put his bill into one of these pores found it gripped and held there as a bear's foot might be held in a spring trap. That closing of the pores under tension is one of Nature's means of protection. A man suddenly plunged Into water instinctively inhales and automatically closes his pores. He does the same thing If startled by janger or attacked by any emotional shock. He does it also when making any considerable effort. It Is only with age and some humility that we come to realize how much of our so-called strength comes from outside of us, actually flows into us and through us on what, if the phrase won't frighten you. I might call the "cosmic currents." There Is a little scientific Instrument called the biometre that registers, and to some extent measures, this strength giving current. I hope it won't bore you if 1 tell you of it briefly The biometre Is a small glass bell or dome, inside of which there is a copper needle suspended by a silk thread. The bell rests on a board under which is a coil of copper wire. The needle T Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condit'sn, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulslfied cocoanut oil (which Is pure and en thely greaceless), is much better than the. most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this 'jan't possibly Injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rufi it in. One or two teaspooaVuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the b-H- and scalp thoroughly. T'-ie lathrr rinses out eslly, and removes very particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair Cries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and $IUy, bright, fluffy and asy to manage. Yoi can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to Jait. everyone in the family Jar months. Adv.

breaks of this misguided but

swings free, not quite touching the supporting base. When a man approaches the biometre. with his left hand the needle is drawn toward him slightly but perceptibly. When he ap proaches the bell with his right hand, the needle swings away from him more perceptibly than it swung toward him In the first experiment. , If two biometres are used, one for each hand, the needle in the 1ft one is drawn toward the man, and that in the right one is repelled. That would seem to indicate that a current was flowing into us and through us from left to right. Furthermore - it is possible to produce this interesting phenomenon: if the man tries to affect the current by a tensed effort, the right needle moves further from him than before, but the left one ceases to be attracted and hangs plumb. This would seem to indicate that his effort expended the energy which the right-hand needle registered, and at the same time the effort closed the body to any intake of the supply. It's worth thinking about. Sometime in the early nineties I saw Kid McCoy knock out a fighter named Billy Stift. Between the rounds Stift took the usual rubbing and fanning by his seconds, but McCoy occasionally substituted a system of deep breathing and relaxation as he stood by the ropes. I believe he was the first fighter to spar with open palms, closing his fists only as he struck. I recall some interviews in which he was quoted as saying that he conserved his strength by that manner, being relaxed when sparring and tonsing up only for a blow. The fact was that strength flowed into him in those moments of relaxing as it flows into all of us. The big cats are Instructive in that respect. It's wonderful to watch their complete relaxation in most attitudes. Children, too, have the quality. Great peace is with us only when we are completely relaxed, and "let go," as It were. Maybe there was as much physiology as religion in the injunction "Except ye become as little children ye shall not enter the king dom of heaven." I have sometimes thought the entire purpose of that line lay here Certainly one important value of the prayers I used to say at night to my mother was the great "let go" they gave me when I meant them, and the rest that they immediately brought for the night rest not equalled now by my neglect of them, nor fully attained by my most philosophical substitutes. To relax is somewhat of an art It can't be fully done without a deep breath first, and than the "let go." One can't relax from "half tension" as it were. Often we think we are relaxed only to find, after hours of waiting when utter exhaustion slumps us, that vre have been in some respect holding ourselves away from the bed. A rehearsal in the theatre is a dire thing for tightening one up who is directing It and unconsciously lifting each character. After many years I've come to recognize the condition in time, and often in the dark auditorium when the actors or scrub women can't see me, I lie supine on the carpet in an aisle or the foyer, and with arms outstretched for a minute relax all over. It isn't so simple as it sounds. Even after the deep breath one has to think down to the very finger tips and toes, and by mental command dismiss the accumulated tension. Then last of all, the muscles of the face to let them fall with half-closed eye-lids and the lips slipping away from the teeth as they do on dead men. It's

kind and in sending to the prison dangerous leaders.

Only Hard Blows Will Win No commentary is needed on the appended press dispatch from Paris. PARIS, Aug. 18. Major Gen. Pershing, the American commander, told The Associated Press today that the war can be won only by hard and forceful blows delivered by a well-trained American Army working in conjunction with the allied armies. Deploring the lukewarmness of the American people in regard to the war, General Pershing added : "Every man, woman and child should support the Administration in its determination to arm and equip the American Army and to keep up its morale and that of the allied armies. This war will not be won by talk or by subscribing to the Red Cross. The American people must come to a full realization of what the war means. It can be won only by striking hard and forceful blows, not otherwise." The General was very emphatic in the interview, which lasted but a few minutes.

The Need of a County Agent If Wayne county farmers and township trustees believe that a county agent is an ornament and a needless expense, it will surprise them to learn the United States Department of Agriculture has adopted plans to increase the number of county agents and home demonstration agents. The plans formulated contemplate the extension of the men county agent work to all rural counties in which there is need for the work and the placing of an additional agent in some of the larger counties already organized. The number to be employed will depend upon the number available. This indicates only too plainly that a county agent is absolutely necessary if our acres are to yield greater returns. The government would not be spending thousands of dollars for this work if it did not bring golden returns. Every merchant, banker, and business man, as well as every farmer, will benefit financially by the presence of an agent. Under the plan proposed here, the federal government will pay practically all the salary of the agent.

National Army quite astonishing what a refreshing indulgence even a half minute of such relaxing is. As I've said, it's an art to do it, and very useful when you get it. The Japs are past masters at it. They were taught it and practised it conscientiously in the Japo-Russian war. After lying supine for a minute, each Jap soldier would be taken by the head by a comrade, and firmly pluued until the packed vertebrae of his spine were drawn apart and released from the day's pressure on them. Recalling your physiology lectures, you will remember that each spine bone has its two wings or flanges, each pierced by a small hole about the diameter of a lead pencil. Through those holes the great trunk nerves travel with the smaller nerves branching from them. A few hours' march, even without gun or pack, sags the vertebrae together as tight as their cartilege cushions will permit. Lying down helps greatly to remove this pressure, butthe Japanese slow pull on the head .does it at once. A man can do it somewhat for himself by lifting his shoulders as he lies on his back and "hunching" them along as if trying to get them as far as possible from his belt. When I'm on my back for my two minutes' rest cure, I take two or three such hunches at intervals, trying to hold my gain each time by an anchorage of the shoulder blades against the carpet. Generally I can hear the veretbrae as they slip from their packed contact to an easier adjustment, especially if in my hunching I have lifted my head so that some pull is put on the spinal column. Sixty seconds of such rest is worth an hour in a chair. Richard Harding Davis told me, or maybe it was Irvin Cobb, "I heard tell of the German soldiers utilizing even a few minutes' halt to throw themselves on the ground flat and extended." I wish you'd try it, especially over there when they send. you and I fancy it will help if you really believe and know, as you yield yourself to the ground, that it is somewhat more than rest know that into your submissive body the divine and wonderful currents are flowing, curative, restorative and replenishing. It's really the "Big Medicine." Affectionately, FATHER. (mNSFORK, IND. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Harris gave a dinner in honor of their son, Orville.

NO STAMP ON CHECKS WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. In disposing of minor disputes of the war tax. bill, the senate today by a vote of 38 to 22 struck out the provision inserted by the finance committee for a one cent stamp tax on bank checks, drafts and certificates of deposits, designed to raise $10,000,000.

WILSON WILL GIST COAL PRICES DOWN WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 The president will take some action in the coal situation early next week. He carried back to the White House from the trade commission a mass of statistics on coal production cost and will go over them tomorrow. His decision probably will be announced Monday.

Who cares? Corns or calluses i lift off without any pain. it Because Etyle decrees that women crowd and buckle up their tender toes in high heeled footwear, they suffer from corns, then they cut and trim at these painful pests which merely makes the corn grow hard. This suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and women are warned to stop it. A few drops of freezone applied directly upon a sore corn or tender callus gives quick relief and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts off without pain. Ask the drug store man for a tiny bottle of freezone, which costs but a few cent3, but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. Freezone dries in a moment and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding skin. Keep a bottle of freezone v Women! handy on the dresser and never let a corn ache twice. i WOLVERINE FURNACES Terms to Suit, Prices will advance. Order now Bert D. Welch e4 South 18th St. Phone 2321
