ONTBOL of labor power In Germany has been absolute under the old regime. . The arrangement formerly in force there contrasted strongly with

the present plan of control in America , through the United States Employment Service. Just how each workman has been chained to 'his job in Germany may be realized when it is known that he could not change posi

written consent either of his employer

or of a board of seven members appointed by the military authorities. The board of seven included an army officer as, chairman. -two government officials, two employersand two workingmen. ' The workingmen therefore, not only had small representation on the board, but were denied the opportunity of choosing their own representatives, . Any violation of the regulations concerning migration from one job to another was punished by heavy fine or imprisonment. "

D i rt rt e r S o r i e "William," cried the astonished lady, "what on earth are you doing standing before the mirror making those dreadful faces?" "Well, my dear," replied her husband, "I am to receive a presentation at our club meeting tonight and as I am not supposed to know any thing about it I'm practising a look of intense surprise!" " "Walter," said the diner, "it says here on the menu 'green blueflsh." " "Yes, sir. That means fresh right from the water, sir." " "Nonsense!" said the diner. "You know well enough they do not take blueflsh at this season." The waiter came up and looked at the disputed item. - "Oh, that, sir," he said with an air of enlightenment, "that am hothouse blueflsh, sir." "How is Robert getting on at col lege?" asked the minister, who was being entertained at dinner. "Splendidly," said the proud father, who then went on to tell of his son's various social, athletic and scholastic successes, and the minister said it was a fine thing to be college bred. That ereningyiittle James, who -had been an interested listener, said: "Papa, what did Mr. Brown mean by college bred?" ' Oh, that," said papa, who had been looking over his son's bills, "is a fouryear loaf. Pastors Asked to Set Aside Jan. 19 as Health Sunday The government, through the public health service, has asked Richmond pastors, In connection with pastors all over the country, to set aside Jan. 19 as Health Sunday. Ministers are asked to preach on this Sunday on the responsibility of the churches ln maintaining clean communities for the protection of ; returning soldiers and the community at large. Cardinal Gibbons Makes Appeal for Armenians BALTIMORE, Dec. 31. Cardinal Gibbons has issued, the following appeal to all Christians for aid for the Armenians and Syrians: "The attempt to relieve and save the starving peoples in the near east deserves the sympathetic support of all Christian people. Not only have the Christian inhabitants of Turkey been impoverished and decimated by a succession of wars, but; deportation and massacre have destroyed many fathers and mothers, leaving hundreds of thousands of orphans to be fed, clothed and provided with homes. The Ameri can committee for Armenian and Syrian relief is to undertake to raise in January , a large sum for this purpose. I hope that all who have given freely for this and other forms of war relief will be generous still in the face of this greatest tragedy of the war." New York to Purchase ; r Milk for Poor Babies ... NEW YORK, Dec. 31. Following reports that because of the high price of milk, babies were dying on New York's East Side, and 'small children attending schools there had been found in the last stages of malnutrition, the Salvation Army and the East Side , citizen's relief committee last night announced plans to provide free milk for all children.. The relief committee , decided to send milk each day to school buildings where teachers will distribute it, and the Salvation Army ' announced . that, besides itself providing free milk for babies, it would ask business men and society women to supply a quart a day to a specified child.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels and Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander of the American squadron which arrived from abroad recently.' Admiral Henry, T. Mayo, commander of the U.

After the great naval review which welcomed the ships home Secretary Daniels of the navy received Admiral Mayo aboard the Mayflower, President Wilson's yacht, and thanked the commander on behalf of the nation for the services of himself and his fleet ia the war.

Dorsey Noland on Crew of U.S. Ship Once Infamous German Raider

A Richmond boy, Dorsey A. Noland, of 119 North Nineteenth street, son of Mr. and Mrs. V. D. ; Noland, is a member of the crew of the ,U., S. S. Vou Steuben, former German steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm, now undergoing a period of inaction in the Morse dry dock at New York City. The crew of 1,150 men are telling strange tales of the nine voyages overseas the ship has made as a transport.. On the decks one can still see long rows of rafts for use by the men when the life boats are filled. And in the lookout are the numerous telescopes which were needed night and day. The New York Evening Sun says: "One twist of harmless looking apparatus serves to awaken a pandemonium of bells and siren toots as deafening as New York's peace celebration was, for this was the danger signal during the tense days and night3 of the war." . I This year the Von Steuben acted as a Christmas ship, playing Santa Claus to hundreds of children of American; soldiers and sailors. A great Christmas tree was set up in the ship's; dining hall, and each child received a present from its branches. But it was with quite a different ! celebration that this ship sailed the southern seas on Christmas 1914 as a German raider and again in 1917 at' Christmas time when she was crossing the Atlantic with American troops. The Kronprinz was the ship that slipped out of New York harbor a few days after Germany had begun the world war, and under pretence of obeying orders to report In Bremen, headed for South American waters. There during her 255 days as a raider she sank twenty-eight vessels, destroyed millions of dollars worth of property; and had many encounters with French and British cruisers. Her orders were to keep afloat and to do what damage she could, so she attacked only merchant ships and ran from everything that looked like a war ship. Her speed was 25.3 knots, therefor it was not difficult for her to out distance the craft she feared. The Sun in a recent edition relates the following tales of the ship: "A few tales of her engagements with French and British ships serve to emphasize the gallantry of Ameri DON'T NEGLECT A RHEUMATIC PAIN Go after -it with, SloaaV Liniment before it gets dangerous Apply a lUUe, don't rub, let tt Penetrate, and good-by twinge!

ca's Allies. One of these vessels was the British steamship La Corentlna, whose captain, though he bad not an ounce of ammunition on board, refused to surrender and put up so brave a front that it was not until the Kronprinz Wilhelm had fired across her bows and received no answering flash that the helplessness of their advers

ary dawned upon the officers of the raider. "In April, 1915, the Kronprinz Wilhelm, her sides battered, boilers corroded, the walls of her costly, suites and- salon blackened from the coal stored in them, and her starved crew suffering with beriberi, slipped In Hampton Roads for repairs, having evaded the vessels in search of her." Since being taken over by the United States her adventures, though of a dc-'iedly different nature, have been almost as numerous as when 6he was a pirate., She has both convoyed and transported troops. Once she narrowly escaped disaster in a collision with the .Agamemnon. On another voyage she was blown about over the ocean for four days. ' At the time of the Halifax disaster, the Von Steuben happened to be only forty miles away and her officers at first mistook the mountainous peak of smoke for an iceberg. They soon saw flames and the detonations reached them later. Going immediately to the stricken ship the captain sent the crew to aid the workers in efforts to relieve the suffering. The perfume of the violet has been found to be particularly injurious to the voice.

OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have bees benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many' years and never hesitated to recommend, for In almost every" case It shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and varlfltil tesHmnnv nf thnnwinilit vhn have used the preparation, the sueT cess of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root yt due to the fact that, so many people claim, it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
