WEDNESDAY
Have You Many “Off” Days?
Do you frequently get up in the morning unrefreshed ?
Do you have to often whip yourself to the work you
should enjoy ? Is your appetite not as good as formerly
and are you pale nervous and irritable ?
If so look to your blood: you may be developing anemia.

■OBINSON PLANS A
BILL TO MAINTAIN
A SUPPLY OF LABOR
Arkansas Senator Seeks Way
to Aid Working Man Find
Best Paying Jobs.
WASHINGTON D. C. Jan. 2. —
in order to relievo the labor short-
igc throughout the United States
Mid to bring about co-operating be-
wecn the federal government and
.he states in securing a more effect-
ive utilization of the labor supply in
various sections. Senator Robinson
vf Arkansas one of the pioneers in
• curing the passage of the child
abor law at the last session of Con-
gress has introduced a bill to es-
tablish in the Department of Labor
an employment service. The meas.
ure has been drawn alfter careful
consideration of all elements that
bear upon the welfare of the wage
earner. It is designed to assist the
wage earner in securing employment
at the highest figure possible and
as a general proposition to promote
Hie welfare of industries and wage
earners upon a mutual plane of co-
ordination and usefulness.
The committee on labor of which
Senator Robinson is a member has
been hearing of lack of common ana
skilled help in some sections of the
country while in others men are
asking for work. In order to utilize
the instrumentalities of the govern-
ment and thereby promote the best
interests of the economic conditions
of th© country this bill is designed.
The employment service would
take over the employment agencies
now being conducted in the Depart-
ment of Labor in what it is known
ire rather haphazard way owing to
th© many activities of that depart-
ment and organize it with rules and
regulations whereby the states can
co-operate with the government in
iccuring needed laborers in various
sections. The bill is not drawn nor
Is it intended to interfere with the
plans and purposes of organized
labor but more especially to assist
the labor unions in their work.
The director would have at his dis-
posal next year to organize and op-
erate his bureau $750000 while
$1000000 is expenred to co-operate
with the states and after that $2-
900000. Co-operation is to be
sought between the government and
the states and for every dollar
spent by a state in establishing ami
maintaining an employment bureau
i dollar is to be supplied by the gov-
'rnment. Credit is to be given
municipal or other such organiza-
ions that secure employment for
.vage earners. Before a state can
ake under the law a statute must
passed and money appropriated

their emperor is one of the most sig-
nificant and nstructiw intr actes v*
the war. In one respect only it fails
end its failure is merely the reflec-
tion of abortive German diploma^;■
elsewhere. Those ol us privileged to
i watch this German peace advance at
close quarters lealize with satistac-
tiun that the Geiman agents time am.
again lieteat their own ends by ovr-
duing the part. They spend mom >
so liberally that the Swiss suspect

a whisper would persuade they es-
trange by screaming. They beha’ e.

This peaceful though anything i m
silent attack or Swi- opinion relies
bdore all else on two weapons: S’ -
tieties and the press. Societies ap-
peal to the Swiss more even than o
their neighbors. Does rot Roma in-
jiulland relate how a worthy citizen
of Basel hit o.i the brilliant idea ol
founding a society lor those who be-
longed to none onb to find that h
himsell was the sole candidate witi
the ne» essarv qualificati m? This pas-
s.on foi the Verein whether for sing-
ing shouting or gymnastic !$-
turned to excellent account by tlie-
agents ot the ki iser w ith the result
that thousands of Swiss with no par-
ticular affection for that wayward
monarch find themselves enrolled
almost without knowing it in all
manner of societies pledged upenlj
oi otherwise to his glorification.

thinly veiled German effort to set
