Page Three JOBS OFF 2.7 PCT. IN MONTH, U.S. REPORTS A drop of 2.7 per cent in em rdoyment and 5.1 per cent in earn- *s from March to April, based on returns made by 63,421 establish ments in 1G major industrial groups, is reported by the bureau of labor statistics of the United States de partment of labor, in a statement made public today. The establishments covered in the report had in April 4,513,853 employes, whose earnings in one week amounted to $93,669,953 or an average of less than s2l per week. Seasonal Increase Shown. Increased employment was re ported in eight of these industrial groups. The most pronounced gain was shown in the canning and pre serving group in which a seasonal increase of 29.6 per cent in employ ment combined with an increase of 38.8 per cent in earnings, was re ported. The building construction group reported a gain of 10.7 per cent in employment and 15.9 per cent in payrolls, while the crude petroleum, quarrying and non-metallic mining, and dyeing and cleaning groups also reported gains in both em ployes and earnings. The increases in employment in the remaining groups--electric railroad operation, retail trade and laundries--were small. In the eight groups In which decreased employment was shown, losses of less than 1 per cent in em ployment were reported in the tele phone and telegraph, and the pow er and light groups, while decreases of less than 2 per cent were shown in wholesale trade and hotels. Em ployment decreased 3.6 per cent in manufacturing, 3.8 per cent in metalliferous mining, and 4.9 per cent in anthracite mining. The most pronounced decrease in -bar of workers (12.9 per cent) ,v as shown in the bituminous coal mining industry. More Jobless in Factories. Employment in manufacturing industries decreased 3.6 per cent in April, as compared with March, and earnings decreased 7.3 per cent. Per capita earnings of em ployes in manufacturing industries decreased 3.7 per cent over the month interval. These changes are based on re ports made by 18,254 establishments in 89 of the principal manufactur ing industries in the United States, having in April 2,791,626 employes whose combined earnings in one week were $52,771,568. The chemical and the railroad re pair shop groups of industries re ported increased employment, and the stone-clay-glass products group reported unchanged employment over the month interval. Decreased employment was reported in the remaining 11 groups. Decreased earnings were shown in each of the 14 groups, with the exception of the railroad repair shop group it which a small increase in earning was shown.

Disease is the presence of for eign matter in the system. Muscular tissues and the blood vessels become encumbered by the retention of tox ins which are the undigested and pu t r efying end products of cer tain foods. The heart is a bunch of muscles, and in the blood vessels we have also to think of the muscular walls of those tubes. The health, the elasticity, the pli ability of these muscles depends upon the chem istry of our foods. 'JU John Maxwell. These muscles, as well as all oth er muscular tissues in the body, must be kept supple and pliable if the body is to function well as a whole. If poisonous wastes are retained in the system, particularly where there is constipation, gases are giv en off from those putrefying wastes and get into the blood stream. Those gases contain a certain amount of sedimentary matter, and as this is sent through the blood vessels during the circula- Labor f 'eehngs TODAY.

Michigan St. tory processes, it begins to line the arteries and veins with a sticky, mucoid material, which decreases the diameter of those blood vessels and interferes with the proper functioning of the heart. Its action may be to change the structure of the heart muscles, to decrease their elasticity, to cause a slight shrink age or otherwise slightly change the valves between the auricles and ventricles. Instead of contending that heart disease proceeds either from rheu matism, fever or infections, let us consider that the heart is poisoned by the toxins that caused the rheu matism, etc.; that heart trouble is always the result of a toxic condi tion of the blood stream. Instead of whipping up the heart's action or depressing it un der other conditions, which in all cases produces enervation, it were far better to seek the removal, from the blood stream and muscular tis sues, of the poisonous toxins, by natural methods through the vari ous eliminatory organs. Strychnine, digitalis and various coal-tar derivatives which are so freely used in various heart affec tions are sometimes classed as paralyzers and may do much harm. Cleansing, not stimulation, is the course to pursue. "Stimulants." said Dr. Henry Lindlahr, "precipitate the fatigue products from the circulation into the tissues of the body. They do this by paralyzing the power of the blood to dissolve and carry in solu tion uric acid and other acids and alkaloids that should be eliminated from the organism stimulants benumb and paralyze the inhibi tory nervous system. In other words, they 'lift the brakes' from the motor nervous system, and al low the driving powers to run wild when nature wanted them to slow up or stop." It is rest, not depression, rest and cleansing of the blood vessels by means of the natural juices in alkaline foods, that nature calls for in such cases. The muscles of the blood vessels, as well as all other muscular tis sues, must be kept supple and plia ble if the body is to function well as a whole. When the system is loaded with an increasing quantity of uric acid, the end-products from meat, fish, poultry or other high protein foods; when this acid accumulates in the blood, beyond the power of the eliminatory organs to clear it out of the system, sedimentary matter, lining the arteries and capillaries, throws an extra burden upon the heart, increases the blood pressure in the main arteries, and clogs the blood vessels in the extremities of the body. So much disease is caused by the excessive accumulation of morbid waste in the body, which clogs and obstructs the capillary circulation, interfering with cell nutrition and drainage. The question is: How can this sticky, mucoid material be removed from the blood stream and tissues? It is evident that we must relieve the heart from any strain that is unnecesary. Respiration must also be made easy. The blood, on a low protein diet and when leafy vegetables are free ly used in salad form, will be high in hemoglobin and red mood cells, therefore, respiration can be car ried on with the least exertion on the part of the heart Also foods rich in potassium and sodium are needed.

Uhomas ar rived in Milwaukee just before the convention came to order, after hav ing delivered a se.ies of talks in the Twin Cities yesterday. "But organization and education are more important than number of votes," he added. "If I had to choose between a large organization and a small vote, which I hope I won't have to, or a small organization and a large vote, I'd choose the small vote and the large organization. In a growing party of this sort, it is better to ex ert continuous efforts than to reap a sporadic harvest of many votes."
