Mars W ill Teach Ut.
McAdoo's 400.
$ ~i00,000.000 for Strikes.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
The stock market had a fainting
fit yesterday because the bonus bill
went through. Railroad and other
shares fell, and .speculators had the
blues.
They showed similar lack of in
telligence when they declared that
the federal reserve plan would ruin
everybody. The federal reserve
prevents panics and has already
saved this country from at least
two old-fashioned “Black Fridays.’
Do intellectual gamblers that sell
railroad stock believe that handing
$100,000,000 to the soldiers in the
coming year will diminish railroad
travel and ticket buying? Don’t
they know that every dollar given
to the soldiers will go into circu
lation and help business? Do they
imagine that J. P. Morgan, Thomas
F. Ryan and th« Vanderbilt boys
buy all the railroad tickets and
.keep prosperity alive all by them
selves?

| MeAdoo, it is said, has already
{more than 40U democratic delegates.
tThis indicates that he alone at this
{moment has any chance to get a
•two-thirds- vote, if his men prove
• loyal. On the other hand, it is said
’that Mr. Cox, who once ran (very
•gently), has arranged with Al
Smith a scheme to eliminate Me
Adoo early in the convention.
The average democrat will he in
j teres ted in the Cox-Al Smith plan
S because it will alienate from the
{democratic party the great railroad
• and other labor support which be
• longs to MeAdoo and that no one
J el*e could bring into the campaign.
r No man ever ran for president
• ■-—
with the labor following that Mc
Adoo possesses.
Republicans, democrats and in
dependents may be interested in the
statement, made on good authority,
but not vouched for here, that La
Follette will run as an independent
republican unless the democrats
nominate McAdoo, and will not run
if McAdoo is nominated.
The reason given is that La
Follette believes McAdoo would get
the big railroad vote upon which
he, La Follette, would count, in an
independent campaign.
The national association of manu
facturers was told yesterday that
labor unions had recently lost 9 per
cent of their membership. Only
20 per cent of workers that might
be in unions being in them now.
That may be, but the 20 per cent
suffice to raise and keep up the
salaries of 100 per cent of the work
ers, thus building up national pros
perity.
It’s also said that strikes cost
the country more than $500,000,000
a year. That’s serious and prob
ably accurate.
Let the prosperous class that
weep about the cost of the honus
see if they ran't do something to
solve the strike problem that costs
three times as much as the bonus
and more. To maintain a constant
industrial civil war costing $5,000,
000,000 every,10 years in a nation
that denounce* international war is
idiocy. Labor and capital ought
to change that.
In spite of bonuses and strikes
there is money left. The great
telegraph and telephone monopoly
will issue 1,500,000 new shares of
stock and the people will scramble
to pay in the $150,000,000 at the
rate of $100 a share. Ingeniously
sold on the instalment plan this
stock issue will strengthen a great
crowd of stockholders, increasing
the company’s support from the
public.
Here’s grief for the vegetarians.
The juice of raw meat helps con
sumptives to conquer the disease,
gaining weight, by rebuilding mus
cular tissues worn down by tuber
culosis. Dogs artificially inoculated
with consumption recover when fed
on raw meat and die of the disease
when fed on vegetables.
Friends of consumptives should
not attach too much importance to
this announcement, but they should
realize how much diet has to do in
lighting consumption. Vegetarians,
idealistic and spiritual, should real
ize that the human body, especially
when weakened by disease, re
quires the food most easily as
similated, which is meat.

Read What This Famous Scientist
; Says about Coffee
4 ~ I
Professor SAMUEL C. PRESCOTT, of Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, after three years’ scientific
research, says Coffee gives comfort and inspira~
tion and is the servant of civilization
“It may he stated that after weighing the evidence,
a dispassionate evaluation of the data so compre*
hensively surveyed has led to no alarming conclu
sions that Coffee is an injurious beverage for the
great majority of adults, but, on the contrary, that
the history of human experience, as well as the
results of scientific experimentation, point to the
fact that Coffee is a beverage which, properly
prepared and rightly used, gives comfort and in
spiration, augments mental and physical activity,
and may be regarded as the servant rather than the
destroyer of civilization.”
This statement, coming from such an unquestioned
scientific authority, will be a source of satisfaction
and relief to every true lover of Coffee and estab
lishes the fact that Coffee is a wholesome drink for
the overwhelming majority of adults.
