Dr. W. A. Evans, health authority and writer of Chicago, last week predicted that the world would again be swept by an cpldemic of Influenza far more severe than last year, when thousands of lives were lost. One thing Is sure, that is. the warm weather this fall has kept the epidemic down, but as colder weather approaches. Influenza Is, liable to break out any time. Dr. Brady says: "No one has as yet discovered a positive method of diagnosing early cases of Influenza from alleged 'colds.'" The utmost care •fcould be taken, therefore, not to Cfttch cold, for colds weaken the resistance to Influenza germs. ^Doctors seem to agree that it is ^jbch easier to prevent Influenza than t* cure it, The secret of preventing Sttfluenza is to keep the germs from lodging and developing In the respiratory organs--the month, nose and throat. No one should be allowed to breathe in your face because the germs •re often transmitted in this manner. Influenza can be prevented; last jBter's results prove that. As a preventive for Fin, Tnrpo has been a pronounced success. Turpo is an effective germicide, combining the oldfashioned remedies of turpentine (Which has always been known as the best home germicide), camphor and menthol in a pure mineral base. These Ingredients have long been recognized aa effective germicides, as well as having really wonderful qualities in relieving colds and congestions. Snuff ll little Turpo up the nostrils several times a day, and the Flu germs will bave little chance of getting a lodging and breeding place. Many physicians and hospitals use and recommend Turpo. Prepare now. Buy a thirty cent jar lot Turpo. while your druggist has a Epply on hand, and use as directed. ist year druggists could not supply the demand.

Necessity of Increased Production to Help Decrease Cost of Living-- Imperative Need of Definite v Program Concerning Labor. ___ P ^Washington, Dec. 2.--President Wdeon's message, which was read to both houses of congress today, only Incidentally mentioned the peace treaty, blaming the delay In ratification as one of the causes of nation-wide unrest. The president said: I hope that congress will bring to a conclusion at this session legislation looking to the establishment of a budget system. That there should be one single authority responsible t'or the making of all appropriations and that appropriations should be made not independently of each other but with reference to one single comprehensive plan of expenditure properly related to the nation's income there can be no doubt. I believa the burden of preparing the budget must, in ihe nature of the case, if the work is to be properly dene and responsibility concentrated instead of divided, rest upon the executive. The budget so prepared should be submitted to and approved or amended by a single committee of each house of congress, and no single appropriation should be made by the congress, except such as may have been included in the budget prepared by the executive or added by the particular committee of congress charged with the budget legislation. Another and not less important aspect of the problem is the ascertainment of the economy and efficiency with which the moneys appropriated are expended. Under existing law the only audit is for the purpose of ascertaining whether expenditures have been lawfully made within the appropriations. No ons la authorised or equipped to ascertain whether the money has been spent wisely, ecosmlcally and effectively. Taxation Question Taken Up. I trust that the congress will give Its Immediate consideration to the problem of future taxation. Simplification of the income and profits taxes has become an Immediate necessity. These taxes performed indispensable service during the war. They must, however, be simplified, not only to save the taxpayer inconvenience and expense, but in order that his liability may be made certain and definite. With reference to the details of the revenue law, the secretary of the treasury and the commissioner of Internal revenue will lay before you for your consideration certain amendments necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the law--recommendations which have my approval and support. It is of the utmost Importance that in dealing wtth this matter the present law ahould not be disturbed so far as regards taxes for the calendar year 1930, payable In the calendar year 1921. The congress might well consider whether the higher rates of Income and profits taxes can in peace times be effectively productive of revenue and whether they may not, on the contrary, be destructive of buaineas activity and productive of waate and Inefficiency. There Is a point at which In peace times high rates of Income and profits taxes discourage energy, remove the incentive to new enterprise, encourage extravagant expenditures and produce industrial stagnation with consequent unemployment and other attendant evils. The message th^n discussed the favorable balance of trade and the need of adjusting our economic life to the changed conditions and of abandoning the policy of isolation. In the matter of recognition and relief for returned soldiers the president repeated the recommendations in his last message. He also urged tariff revision to pro&eot our chemical and dyes tuff industries. He continued: Farmers Are Praised. Peri ng the war the farmer performed a vital and willing service to the satin. By materially increasing the production ot his lana, he supplied America and the allies with the increased amounts of food necessary to keep their immense armies in the field. He indispensably helped to win the war. But there is now scarcely less need of increasing the production in food and the necessaries of life. I ask the congress to consider means of encouraging effort along these lines. The Importance of doing everything possible to promote production along economical lines, to improve marketing and to make rural life more attractive and healthful, is obvious. I would urge approval of the plans already proposed to the congress by the secretary of agriculture, to Becure the essential facta required for the proper study of this question, through the proposed enlarged programs for farm management studies and crop estimates. I would urge, also, the continuance of federal participation in the building of good roads, under the terms of ex isting law and under the direction of present agencies; the need of further action on the part of the states and the federal government to preserve and develop our forest resources, especially through the practice of better forestry methods on private holdings and the extension of the publicly owned forests; better support for country schools and the more definite direction of their courses of study along lines related to rural problems; and fuller provision for sanitation in rural districts and the building up of needed hospital and medical facilities. Blames Government for Unrest. I would call your attention to the widespread condition of political restlessness in our body politic. The causes of this unrest, while various and complicated, are superficial rather than deep seated. Broadly, they arise from or are connected with the failure on the part of our government to arrive speedily, at a Just and permanent peace pennlt|ir.^ return to normal conditions, from the transfusion of radical theories from seething; European centers pending such delay, from heartless proOteerlag resulting in the Increase ot the cost of living, and. lastly, from the machinations of passionate and malevolent agitators. With the return to normal conditions, this unrest will (rapidly disappear. Is the meantime It does much evil. ,, t , It seems to me that in dealing with this situation congress should not be Impatient or drastic, but should aeek. rather, to remove the causes. It should endeavor to bring our country back speedily to a peace basis, with ameliorated living conditions under the minimum of restrictions upon personal liberty that Is consistent with our reconstruction problems. And it ahould arm the federal government with power to deal in its criminal courts with those persons who by violent methods would abrogate our time-tested institutions. With the free expression of opinion and with the advocacy of orderly political change. however fcindamental, there must be no Interference, but toward passion and malevolence tending to incite crime and insurrection under guise of political evolution there should be no leniency. Should Extend Food Control. I renew and strongly urge the necessity of the extension ef the present food-control act as to the period of time in which it shall remain in operation. The attorney general has submitted a bill providing for an extension of this act for a period of six months. As it now stands It is limited in operation to the period of the war and becomes inoperative upon the formal proclamation of peace. It is imperative that it should be extended at once. The department of Justice has built up extensive machinery for the purpose *of enforcing Its provisions; all of which must be abandoned upon the conclusion of peace unless the provisions of this act are extended. During this period the congress will have an opportunity to make similar, permanent provisions and regulations with regard to all goods destined for Interstate commerce and to exclude them from Interstate shipment, if the requirements of the law are not complied with. Some such regulation le Imperatively necessary. The abuses that have grown up In the manipulation of prices by the withholding of foodstuffs and other necessaries of life cannot otherwise be effectively prevented. There can be no doubt of either the necessity or the legitimacy of such measures. The president renewed his recommendations that a law be passed regulating cold storage and that all goods destined for interstate commerce should be marked with the price at which they left the hands of the producer. He also urged the federal licensing of corporations engaging in Interstate commerce. Coming to the question of labor, the message said; Labor and Capital Peace Renewed. No one who haa observed the march of events In the last year can fall to note the absolute need of definite program to bring about an Improvement In the condition of labor. There can be no settled conditions leading to Increased production and a reduction in the cost of living if labor and capital are to be antagonists Instead of partners. Bound thinking and an honest desire to serve the Interests of the whole nation, as distinguished from the Interests of a class, must be applied to the solution of this great and pressing problem. The failure of other nations to consider this matter In a vigorous way has pro duced bitterness and Jealousies and antagonisms, the food of radicalism. The only way to keep men from agitating against grievances Is to remove the grievances. An unwllllngnoas even to discuss these matters produces only dissatisfaction and gives comfort to the extreme elemenis in our country, which endeavor to stir up disturbance In order to provoke governments to embark upon a course of retaliation and repression. The seed of revolution Is repression. The remedy for these things must not be negative In character, it must be constructive. It must comprehend the general Interest. The real antidote for the unrest which manifests Itself Is not sup pression but a deep consideration of the wrongs that beset our national life and the application of a remedy. Eight-Hour Day Is Big Step. Congress has already shown Its will ingness to deal with these industrial wrongs by establishing the eight-hour day as the standard in every field of labor. It has sought to find a way to prevent child labor. It haa served the whole country by leading the way In de veloping the means of preserving and safeguarding lives and health in danger ous industries. It must now help in the difficult task of finding a method that will bring about a genuine demonstration of industry, based upon the full recognition of the right of those who work, in whatever rank, to participate In some organic Way in every decision which directly af fects their welfare. It Is with this purpose in mind that I called a conference to meet In Washing ton on December 1 to consider these prob lems In all their broad aspects, with the Idea of bringing about a better understanding between these two interests. Rights of Labor Are Cited. The great unrest throughout the world, out of which has emerged a demand for an immediate consideration of the dim culties between capital and labor, bids us put our own house in order. Ffinkly there can be no permanent and lasting settlements between capital and labor which do not recognise the fundamental concepts for which labor haa been strug gllng through the years. The whole world gave Its recognition and indorse ment to these fundamental purpoeea in the League of Nations. To analyse the particulars In the de mands of labor is to admit the Justice of their complaint In many matters that lie at their basis. The workman demands an adequate wage, sufficient to permit him to live in comfort, unhampered by the fear of poverty and want in his old age. He demands the right to live and the right to work amidst sanitary sur roundings, both in home and in workshop surroundings that develop and do not re tard his own health and well-being; and the right to provide for his children' wants In the matter of health and educa tion. In other words, it is his desire to make the conditions of his life and the On the Links. Dobb--I don't like my caddie^ he "Ihughs every time I play badly.

Collective Bargaining Right. Governments o»ut recognise the right of men collectively to bargain tor humane object* that have At their base the mutual protection and welfare of those engaged in all industries. Labor must not be longer orated as a commodity. It must be regarded as the activity of human beings, possessed ot deep yearnings and desires. The business man gives his best thought to the repair and replenishment of his machinery, so that its usefulness will not be impaired and Its power to produce may always be at its height and kept In full vigor and motion. No less regard ought to be paid to the human machine, which, after all, propels the machinery ot the world and Is the great dynamic force that lies back of all Industry and progress. Return to the old standards of wage and Industry in employment are unthinkable. The terrible tragedy ot war which has Just ended and which haa brought the world to the verge of chaos and disaster would be (n vain if there should ensue a return to the conditions of the past. Labor not only Is entitled to an adequate wage, but capital should receive reasonable return upon its investment and is entitled to protection at the hands of the government in every emergency. No government worthy of the name can play these elements against each other, for theri is a mutuality of interest between them which the government must aeek to axpresa and to safeguard at all cost. The right of individuals to strike Is inviolate and ought not to be Interfered wtth by any process of government, but there Is a predominant right and that Is the right of the government to protect all of Its people and to assert Us power and majesty agralnst the challenge of any class. The government, when It asserts that right, seeks not to antagonise a class but simply to defend the right of the whole people as against the irreparable harm and Injury that might be done by the attempt by any class to usurp a power that only government Itself has right to exercise as a protection to all. Hour of Test and Trial. This Is the hour of test and trlil'<#t America. By her prowess and strength and the indomitable courage of her soldiers. she demonstrated her power to vindicate on foreign battlefields her conception of liberty and Justice. Let not her Influence as a mediator between capital and labor be weakened and her own failure to settle matters of purely domestic concert be proclaimed to the world. There are those In thia country who threaten direct action to force their will upon a majority. Russia today, with Its blood and terror, is a painful object leeson of the power of minorities. It makes little difference what minority it Is; whether capital or labor, or any other class; no sort of privilege will ever be permitted to dominate this country. We are a partnership or nothing that is worth while. We are a democracy where the majority are the masters or all the hopes and purposes of the men who founded this government have been defeated and forgotten. In America there Is but one way by which great reforms can be accomplished and the relief sought by classes obtained, and that Is through the orderly processes of representative government. Those who would propose any other method of reform are enemies of this country. America will not be daunted by threats nor lose her composure or calmness In these distressing times. We can afford, in the midst of this day of passion and unrest, to be self-contained and sure. The instrument of all reform In America is the straight road of Justice to all classes and conditions of men. Men have but to follow this road to realise the full fruition of their objects and purposes. Let those beware wiio would take the shorter road of disorder and revolution. The right road is the road of Justice and orderly process. NEWS OF ILLINOIS General Pershing as a Grammarian. General Pershing, according to Everett T.
