have for some time taught that to give
convalescent beef tea--even the very
strength of the meats to give him q
stone when he asks for bread. What is
needed is to add malt to some OF the pre-
pared food. This fact is not sufficiently
well known to nurses, and hence conyal-
escence is often needlessly prolonged"
About the same time another chemist
declared that oat-meal, as food, had
about as much value as sschips" Stimuli

The strikers held meeting Monday night,
when the matter of requesting the switch
men on all the other roads to refuse to
handle Lake shore cars was discussed at
length, as was also the advisability of call
ing out the switchmen all along the line
1t was pointed out to the men that
t ey could not possibly accomplish
any thlns as long as they spent their time
playing base ball or cards, and that if they
were really in earnest they should do some.
thing to show it. The actual conclusion ar
rived at could not be learned Monday night
as every man in attendance was singuIarly
close mouthed Judging however, from a
few stray remarks made, and the disposi-
ton OF several of the leaders. il is almost
certain an attempt will be made to
can on the sWitchmen at Detroit, buffalo,
Toledo, Cleveland, Elkhart, and many other
points along the line, and that the men EN-.
ployed on the other roads of the city will be
requested not to handle Lake Shore freight

that the only way for the workingmen to
