The Home of the Soul In olden times, it was believed that the seat of the soul was the stomach, most likely for the reason that a man is never so completely used up as when his stomach is out of order. For the cure of ordinary stomach troubles, there is nothing quite so prompt and satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tablets. They streng then the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. They only cost a quarter. Weyrich & Had raba. Your ad will carry punch if you write it as a plain "selling talk" in stead of trying to fuss it up with frills and exaggerations. Coming! RAIL UNIONS PLAN APPEAL TO HARDING LABOR CHIEFS DECIDE ON LET TEE TO PRESIDENT IN EF FORTS FOR JUSTICE. Cincinnati, June S. President Harding will be appealed to by the leaders of 1.200,000 railway work ers, part of whom have already re ceived wage cuts from the railroad labor board, due July 1, in an effort to stave off further reductions in treir pay envelopes, it was decided at a conference of rail union heads to night. Leaders of the 11 railway em ployes organizations which decided Tuesday to take a strike vote of their memberships, agreed tonight to out line a letter to the president present ing their argument for higher wages or at least no further reductions. A committee of union executives was appointed by B. M. Jewell, presi dent of the railway employes depart ment of the American Federation of Labor, to draft the letter. Cut Due July 1 Approximately $ 110,000.000 will be lopped from the payrolls of the 400.000 shopcrafts and the 500.000 maintenance of way men under or ders of the board July 1. The new rates were branded as "starvation" wages by union leaders and it is their intention, in a letter to President Harding to demand whether the country's chief executive thinks these wages sufficient "to maintain an American standard of living and properly sustain a family." It is understood that the letter will contain specific figures on what the railroad men consider an ade quate wage and will endeavor to re fute the position of the railroad la bor board as set forth in their re cent wage reduction decisions. Plan to Avert Strikes Is Urged at Convention Cincinnati, June 8. Establish ment of national agencies to elimin ate strikes and solve other troubles of the building industry was favored by John Donlin. president of the Building Trades department of the American Federation of Labor, who told the department's annual meet ing here that the "whole nation is tired of strikes and lockouts and dis gusted with institutions that make them possible." "Unless the industry remedies its troubles," he said, "we must admit the industrial court is necessary." For solving the strike problems Mr. Donlin advocated a board of la bor union officials with responsibil ity for strikes, and he compared its authority in strike control with that of congress in making war. For oth er troubles of the industry, he favor ed periodical meetings of the union chiefs to promote harmony among the various crafts and also the crea tion, under supervision of a govern ment department, a council of all elements in any way connected with the industry. "The only way to minimize strikes and lockouts is to minimize such au thority as can order a lockout or strike,'? he said, adding that persons responsible for strikes in cities are "always in the minority" and often include "hired disturbers." Two other departments of the fed eration also held their annual meet ings, the gathering of the metal trades union delegates being marked by the adoption of a resolution ap proving President James O'Connell's report complaining that the govern ment; administration was hostile to labor and added that President Hard ing favored a national board found ed on the principle of the Kansas industrial court. SUCCESSION TO REAViS PUZZLE TO CANDIDATES Lincoln. June 8. Announcement today by Governor McKelvie that he intended to have the special primary and election to elect a successor to Congressman C. Frank Jleavis of this district held at the same time the regular primars- and election are held, has caused much concern among the five republicans and two demo crats seeking the nomination. They don't know whether to file for the unexpired term and the regu- jlar term or whether to file merely for regular term and permit someone who wishes to have the word con gressman attached to his name for the remainder of his life, to get the honor unopposed. The fear is that if their names appear as candidates for two offices, it will confuse the voters. Lieutenant Goveronor P. A. Bar rows, one of the regular candidates for the nomination, took the bit in his teeth and filed for the unexpired term. Other candidates were con sulting with political advisers on the wisdom of the Barrows course. ! WILLYS PE0PEETY AT AUCTION Elizabeth, N. J., June 9.

ACTION TO PRE VENT GOAL PROFI TEERING PROMISED Senator Borah, of Idaho, Declares In vestigation Will be Launched If Methods Ineffective. Washington, June 9. Congres sional investigation of prices charg ed by bituminous coal operators and retailers was promised by Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman of the senate labor committee, at a confer ence with Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce, if the basic price scale established at conferences between Mr. Hoover with committees of producing operators are made the basis for profiteering. Secretary Hoover was said to have assured Senator Borah that in fur ther conferences with operators and dealers he would do his utmost to prevent profiteering and to obtain price adjustments to protect the pub lic, and Senator Borah was under stood to have agreed to withhold any investigation pending the outcome of Mr. Hoover's action. The subjects discussed between Secretary Hoover and Senator Borah were said to have been the price agreements negotiated through Mr. Hoover and possible congressional action, including legislation. It was said that Senator Borah had no desire to interfere with Mr. Hoover's price negotiations, so long as they were not made the means for charging excessive prices, but it was said Senator Borah had ques tioned the legality of the Hoover price agreements. The conference lasted an hour. It was understood that Mr. Hoover would proceed forthwith to securing adjustment of prices based on a maximum price of $3.50 a ton and also to take steps to prevent opera tors from charging unreasonable prices to retailers. SEEK COMMON SENSE IN SKIPPING RULES Freight Bates and Bailroad Wages to be Dealt With from Stand point of Patrons. Chicago, June 9. Freight rates and railroad wages will be dealt with from the point of view of ship pers and carriers by the newly orga nized associated traffic club of America, in an effort to influence public opinion and policies, accord ing to an outline of its objects made by the officers here today. Those who have promoted theorganization sav that its work will be much the same as that contemplated in recent proposals of a national transporta tion institute, supported by both shippers and carriers, "for the edu cation of the public and the support of wise transportation policies." They announce that the organiza tion hopes to impress upon the presi dent and congress "the kind of men that should be appointed to the in terstate commerce commission," al though it will refrain from recom mending individuals. Some of the questions to be con sidered will probably relate to the value of the United States railroad labor board; proposals to amend the rate-making section of the transpor tation act so that "there shall not be a mandate to the interstate commerce commission to make the level of rates such that the carriers will earn an adequate revenue; restoration of power of the state policy in respect to a merchant' marine, and the pro posed St. Lawrence canal. It is estimated that there are twenty-five or more "industrial" traffic clubs in which shippers, but not carriers, are represented. The association which was organ ized at a meeting attended by fifty representatives of twenty-five of the seventy-five or eighty traffic clubs in which both carriers and shippers are represented, will seek to Induce th industrial clubs to become eligible to membership in the association by ad mitting representatives of carriers.

CHICAGO BANKER TELLS FINANCIERS . TO USEPUBLICITY Praises Newspaper Advertising as the Best of All Suggests Support ing with Other Forms. Aberdeen. S. D.. June 8. Competi tion in business is coming back into the world with a vengeance, and the merchant, manufacturer or banker who expects to get ahead from this time on must realize that lie must fight his -way upward, declared Geo. Woodruff of Chicago, vice president of the National Bank of the Republic, in an address before the South Da kota bankers' association here today. "Advertising a Bank" was the sub ject cf Mr. Woodruff's address. Advertising, he asserted, is the most effective of all weapons in the fight for business, and among the various kinds of advertising news paper advertising is unquestionably the "Big Bertha" of them all. "The big idea." said Mr. Woodruff spelling the word "idea," "is to ac complish four things. These four things may be easily remembered be cause written in acrostic style, they spell the word idea. "The four words for which the letters stand are Interest. Desire, Enthusiasm and Action." Newspaper advertising must be supported by more direct advertisinc, he continued This, he said, can be done through house organs, personal appeal letters, blotters, folders, book lets, calendars and novelties. "Bankers who do not believe that advertising pays are steadily retiring to the background," Mr. Woodruff continued. "This is surely not to the advantage of our country, fur bank publicity is daily turning spenders into savers and creating that spirit of universal thrift upon which the future economic stahility of America must necessarily bo based."
