It Is composed of a spread eagle, bearing on its breast an escutcheon with 13 stripes, and in Its talons holding an olive branch and 13 arrows, symbolic of both peace and war.

Belgium, Sept. 2.", (By The Associated Press) .Scattered over the low lying country between Vpres and Dixmude. scene of many a battle, are thousuiuls of German prisoners un der guard of British and Belgian sol diers as well as civilians who have been called into the gigantic task of clearing up the battlefields ana once more mak ing it (it for habitation. They are stack- ing shells, recovering brass cases and burying trie dead. There is a military efficiency cjbout their work and the prog ress they are making is most gratifying for all the governments concerned. One nii'v still see the rui::s of many British and Belgian tanks, caught in he German she'l . now twisted and broken wrecks. Now they lie rusted and neg le.tel, mere shells of the once powerful machines which went into action. Some of them are almost !,uri ! in the mud. others hung precariously on the edge of dilapidate I trem-hts, while still others stand high in the fields where they were abandoned by s.n h of their crews as sur vived. .Many ol them are torn and rid dled as though their heavily armored sides wise little more than paper. I'erbaps The most impressive feature of this dead and hlackt ned landscape are ti.e trees. Gaunt and stark, stripped of every limb and branch, they stand out against the skyline, so many lifeless sticks. Whole villages have disappeared, ground by the big guns into mud or dust without one vestige remaining to mark their location. This is true of I'oelcip pelle, whose former existence would not have been suspected had not a Belgian major volunteered the information that here his battalion had once held its main street for three days. Many live shells still remain in the fields, and today as a party was passing within a few miles of Dixmude they were startled by the explosion of one of these "dials" Reconstruction is oging forward. Near the shack reared by one thrifty Belgian who lias returned to the site of his for mer home is a disabled tank, a shell having ripped through its side and ex ploded in the interior. Prom one side of the tank to that humble shack, stretches a clothes line, and on given days the family washing is hung out to dry. Children of that family play in the broken tank, enacting, as they have of ten heard related, the grim story of the battle. That is, tl.ey play when they are not at work, for Belgium is using even its children to rebulid its homes. WORKING WAY BACK FROM THE ARCTIC ! NOME, Alaska. Sept. 20. Mai tin Kil I in and Adclbert tiumuer. the hot two members of Yilh.jaliuur Stelan.-soa 's Canadian Arctic Expedition to leave the Arctic, are reported aboard tin' Hading schooner Anna Olga which i working its way toward Nome along the northern coast of Alaska. Killin and Gumaer were not members of Stefausson's original party. They were members of a party Storker .tork son. Stefausson's lieutenant, led onto an icefloe last year in the hope that the Arctic drifts would ":;rr.y the tloe west ward to Siberia. After spending eight j months on the ice the men found them- 1 selves about fifty miles from their start ing point. They al came ashore and Storkcrson and one other memlier head- 1 ed overland for the outside world. Killin and Gumaer boarded the Olga anil start ed for Nome. Storkerson 's trip outside was his first in eleven years. He has been an ex plorer, trader and trapper along the northern rim of the continent ever since 1908. He expects to associate himself with Stefansson in handling the Canad ian government's i roposal to stock the northern tundra plans with reindeer. BERLIN, Sept. 2J The Bourse Gaz ette states it has information that indus trial interests and big business in gen eral are planning a common campaign against the government 's proposed meas ure legalizing employes' councils with administrative or advisory functions. One of the chief objections to the projected measure is that it will give em poyes ' who become members of advisory boards or directorates access to balance sheets and to business secrets generally. OASTQNIA.N.Cl SOME THOUGHTS ON . "SLAVERY" THEN AND NOW. (Written For The Daily Gazette.) '' .Massa had a workng man He also hail a mule; Couldn't tell to save my s.uil Which was the bigger foi l; The man he fed on liver. The mule he fed on hay, And worked them hard every day.'' The above lines were penned to illus trate the condition known as ''Slavery'' in ante -helium days. For the benefit of the many who have been born since those days and whu are today governing our country, yet know but little of the-trials and difficulties of the days gf shivery, we feel 'that a few lines here will not be amiss. In those days our laws permitted men to own other men as chattels, to be s id from fhe ''hloik'', just as a hog or mule or any brute is sold today, to the highest bidder. Ti.e owner of such a man-slave was known as ''Massa'' or ''master.'' The word ''Massa'' was i; ed by the slave when speaking to or of his owner and master. We have no such w.rid in use today which carries a like meaning. The word ''boss'' approaches it only in the sense of a manager, and not personal ownership, to be trafficked as ti e manager sees fit. Abraham' Lincoln, Mi sled be G.id, was ti e man who wrote a different meaning to the word ''master'' as used in ante bellum days. Our present, day word 'boss'' is griiss, uncouth and cruel, and should be replaced by that of director, and is not a proper word. Men-slaves in those days were known as chattel slaves, which they literally were. Since the abo lition of 'this condition, in its stead, we have a condition of wage slavery where the man, no matter what his former con dition of servitude, is but a slave to the owner of all kinds of property where la bor is required to the successful handling of such property. To the slaves or labor ers is given the mime of wage-slaves. While the owner of great properties does not literally own the laborers personally, yet he has it in his power to say how this laborer shall be treated. This laborer must live and the man of property dic tates how he shall live, whether he is to have nothing but "liver", the i hi apest of foi d, for his services, or whether he is to be treated .as a man with a son who I , ves his family and tries t) wnrj-i.ip his G,d according 'o his light, by being giv en n only 'liver", but :.'. hast a ' ' s uidioi.e" :'. times, and r decent place in w: i. b t i .Iw.-ll and reas iriaMe hours .if' res' w,.i"i i;i .i e ijiiv himsi'lf and re 'Mpei'ite hi- vit il and !'at fading powers of labor.

When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, consti pated and all knocked out. just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dod son 'a Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable sulwtitafe for dangerous calomel. Take a siMnful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today y.m 11 lie sick and nauseated tomorrow; bt-sddes, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson 's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full unbition and ready for work or play.
