NEED CO-OPERATION
It cannot be pointed out too
often that the national recovery
.administration is seeking to work
out a revolutionary plan to im-
prove business and industrial con-
ditions in the United States, hop-
ping thereby to make things bet-
ter both for the workers and the
employers. To accomplish this
.sympathetic co-operation between
all those involved is absolutely
.necessary.
Speaking in Washington a few
days ago the NRA counsel, Don-
tainly, revision back to former
conditions or a disorderly chaos
in business would not result in
benefit to those who are employ-
ed, for normal busniess would be
destroyed by fear as to the fu-
ture or any breakdown in the feel-
ing of security which people
have to have for normal relations.
On the other hand, business
leaders must with the same pat-
ience reconcile themselves to the
.idea that a new day has dawned
i in this country. Never again will
I big financiers and industrialists
be allowed to lead the country in-
to such an economic and financial
morass as it has been with diffi-
culty wading through for nearly
four years. These “captains” of
industry and finance should
know, as everybody else does,
that the economic systems which
they engineered and operated
broke down with terrific effect
upon those involved therein and
that they have forfeited the right
to manage a nation’s industrial
welfare.
Labor, capital, and the general
public must all pull together for
the ultimate success of the NRA.
We must all have trust in the in-
tentions and purposes of those
who are entrusted with the ad-
fore.
aid Richberg, warned that unless v ________....
there was better understanding of ministration of th enew plans. We

"“war between various groups of jng time to work out and adjust
employers and employees which! the inequalities and injustices

more or less frank warnings and LAmerican prosperity may not be
it may be that he is trying to brought back upon a safer and
force everybody to realize the j sounder foundation than ever be-
\21ecessity for co-operation but,
then, on the other hand, he may
be voicing the apprehension of the
administration itself.
The new program involves tre-
mendous changes in our economic
«et up. It will bring to the labor-
ing people greater gains in wages
and hours of labor, eventually, if
not immediately, than any other
movement which has occurred in
this country. Working

SHEPPARD DIDN’T LOSE
Political comment in Washing-
ton and in Texas seems to agree
that Morris Sheppard did not
lose by campaigning strenously
in this state for the endorsement
of the Eighteenth amendment. It
seems to be the idea that the
men senator was what is colloquially
referred to as “a game little

jlili Hu j ru l me cjululh uuc guy.” At least he said what, he
NRA to adjust business and in- j thought, said it to anybody who
dustry to new conditions. Cer-. would listen to him, and vept on
1 saving it after it seemed the un-
popular thing to do. And by some
quirk in human nature, even the
wets admire him for that.
As a matter of fact the wets
are not so vindictive as the drys.
Vindictiveness is more apt to con-
sort with virtue than conviviality,
anyhow. The wets have their
beer and are in a fair way to
have their hard liquor. Sheppard
fought hard, but he fought fair-
ly, so the wets are willing to let
it go at that.
Tom Connally is charged with
“playing politics,” on the liquor
question. Officially dry, he kept
his record consistent, but didn’t
wear out any shoe leather dur-
ing the campaign or acquire any
sore throat. After all, it is but a
question of vieivpoint and tem-
perament. Advocacy of prohibi-
tion has been something of a ca-
reer with Sheppard; with Con-
nally it has been an incident. The
point for Texas is whether it is
better to retain the advantages in
the senate of seniority position al-
ready held, or to shelve men who
have served the state with credit
in behalf of those more loquent
of the new day and the New Deal.
Logically, it should take a mighty
good man to dislodge either of
our Texans in the upper chamber.

Advertising.
Advertising lias become quite
an art. Some time ago the writer
recommended to a druggest in a
large city an article of merit.
“Has it been nationally advertis-
ed?” was his query. “No, but it
is exactly what it is recommend-
ed to be,” was the reply.
“That does not interest me,
things sell because they are ad-
vertised and not because they are
good,” he answered.
What a reflection upon the in-
telligence of the American peo-
ple. It is quite true that thous-
ands of the purveyors of harmful
and useless patent medciines have
become rich through advertising
alone.
Some time ago a campaign was
begun for selling coffee. A man
of note wrote an article in which
he stated that coffee contained
no injurious drug, and could be
drunk in large quantities without
detriment. The article was pub-
lished in all the leading maga-
zines and newspapers.
It ay as ascertained that the
scientist Avho Avrote it had been
paid $50,000 for the article and
large sums have been spent by the
coffee dealers in getting it be-
fore the public. The scientist
kneAv that coffee contained caf-
fein, Ayhieh is a poAverful drug.
It is a stimulant and much used
in medicine.
Coffee is hurtful to children
and large amounts cause nervous-
ness, insomnia and other harmful
results in adults.
Beer is hoav advertised exten-
sively,- as a useful tonic, and blood
builder. It is neither. It is Avell
knoAvn that the habitual consum-
er of beer becomes fat, as a rule.
His liver deterioates, and he is
an inviting host for disease.
In vieAv of the fact that the re-
peal of the 18th amendment is
being agitated in America. France
has begun a campaign for most
deceptive and insidious advertise
ing on the virtues of wine. They
even go so far as to say that Avine
is superior to milk for children.
So palpalble is this falsehood
that it seems as though no one
Avould be misled by it. Yet so
gullible are so many people, that
they Avill fail to see that the
French Avine dealers are merely
putting on a campaign of mislead-
ing adArertisements in order to
prepare a field in America into
which their great surplus of Avines
can be sold at a huge profit to
themselves.

Begin Taking Cardui ^
Today If You Suffer
Like This Lady Did
“WHEN I was a girl, I began tak-
ing Cardui,” writes Mrs. Maggie
Stanfield, of Crandall, Ga. “I was
very irregular for twelve months.
Nothing did me very much good
until my mother began to give me
this medicine. Then I got all
right, stout and well.
“After I was married, I was in
had health. I began taking Cardui
again. I was troubled with my
back a lot. Was awfully restless.
I could not sleep well. I just
weighed 90 pounds when I began
taking Cardui. I improved rapidly.
Before long I weighed 126 pounds.
I felt fine. I was able to do a
good day’s work.” •
