"It. makes no difference, to me whether there is German influence behind these strikes," said the (,'ov-i-inor.

"Willi I he cilizcns' committee unit ed and the strikers in an rnruged frame of mind, the situation was, in my opinion, sufficiently tense lo add my concurrence to recommendalions made by the regular officer, Major lliindcll, sent from houghis, Ariz., that troops he sent here. "I think their presence in Ibe dis trict has avoided a serious clash, which would have led only to loss of life and greater complication, Since ineir annul the district lu,s been reasonably ,pii,., nil hough various picket lines have been maintained.

Hy HILTON IIHONNKlt WASHINGTON, D. C, July 7 "In France the government is going right to Ibe H'oplc with information about tho war, spreading tho news through official bulletins, which are read aloud by the teachers in every school in tho republic. Tho result is a marvelous solidarity has been ob tained and tho French people know what is going on, discuss things iu Iheir community meetings and eomc to tho support of the cabinet in the matters that are of vital import. 1 would like to see our public' schools used in Hie same way." Kelley Kiirtlici'N Measure. The speaker was Congressman Clyde Kelly of I'illsburg, who bus in troduced a hill "to establish direct contact between tho people and the iiutional government by the eroiition of a war information commission." This commission would bo composed of cabinet officers, wilh u civilian chairman to ho named by the presi- lciit. 1 would bo their duty to pro aire informal ion concerning all branches of the government and issue weekly liullelins. Citizens of any public school dis trict who had organized u community association to meet ill tho school would be entitled to Ibis bulletin. Kelly frunkly says he got all his ideas on the subject from Hie French sys tem. Over there the government gels out a "bulletin Ailiniuislriilil' ' each week. For instance, one called "The Hook of Gold" contained a list of casualties. There were also lists of men cited for bravery, or who were given military medals or who were promoted. A communication from a cabinet tiinis- ter told Hint Hie United Stales Jind entered the war, discussed the reus. ons that impelled this action, and set forth how this should cheer the al lies. I'lllze School House. 'Your plan is very good," 1 said to Kelly, "hut won't congressmen make Hie natural objection that these hul- Vtms are not needed here because' r people are the greatest renders of newspapers in Hie world? " "People rend Hie' newsiianers in .heir homes," said Kelly. "The ob ject of gelling them to the si bool louses is to discuss the news. Think what it would mean if every week we could get men and women by the mil lions to go to their schoolhouscs ami discuss getting behind the next lib erty loan, or the Hcd Cross, or food conservation, or any of Ibe all-ini-'lortanl things Hint are guing to arise during the war. v "Don't you see bow it would gel 'be people back of Ibe govcrimu til f How it would bring intelligent pies sure lo bear upon congressmen ami senators who were not properly sup porting Ibe president f "In lime of peril the ancient Heb rews used to cry 'To your tents, (I Israel.' This meant they wanted full free discussion of Hie danger. Imi tating them, my hill would say: "To your school bouses, O American,!"' FIRST PICTURE OF NIAGARA FALLS DISASTERiBOY SCOUTS OF l una r I Thoso Irrepressible Boy Scouts of Grants Pass played fast and loose this week with' tho dignity of their commander, Hen Sholdon. Tho lads under the command of Scout Master Sheldon have been camping out this week in the park at Ashland. Mr. Sheldon's discipline was light. Uach boy was required to bo at roll call In camp at 6 a. m. and 10 p. in. dally. The rest of the day they were permitted to spend as they pleased. Tuesday night at roll call the wide awake boys pleaded to be permitted to remain up to witness the Roundup fun in the park and on the streets. Cut Scout Master Sh,e don sternly ordered them to bed at once, and after ho was sure that the order had been obeyed himsolf went down ito see the fun. About 1 a. m. lie returned very tlrod and sleepy. "Oh hum", ho re marked as he started for his tent after he had listened and counted up nil the youthful snorers, "thereby nothing like a good bed." But his bed was gone. So was his tent and all the rest of its contents. Not a vestige in sight. No sound but snores and suppressed giggles. No clue. "Daw gone It," he ejaculated About 2 a. m. the scout master finally found his tent, bedding, etc, oa the hillside about one-quarter of a mile from camp.

I think I have taken a dozen bottles . . . before my little girl came. I was feeling dreadfully bad, had head- ache, backache, sick at my stomach, no energy ... I was very irritable, too, and nervous. I began taking Cardui about 6 months before my baby came. As a result all those bad feelings left me, and I just felt grand, just as if nothing at all was the matter, and when the end came I was hardly sick at all. Since that I have never taken Cardui at all . . . It has done me good, and I know it will help others, if they will only try it." Many women have written grateful let ters like the above, telling of the good that Cardui has done them. Why should it not help you, too?
