tented. Men claim an rights what their
Gathers would have been glad to get az
favors. There are violence and bad
blood and waste, and so there have been
from the beginning. But there have been
also injustice and oppression and greed
from the beginning. While we may con-
denim strongly much OF the violence and
wrong doing Of labor organizations. we
can md many extenuating circumstances.
The same spirit Of independence the

mated the old guilds OF England. and
which have made the Engiishman and
those who have sprung from him the
freest as well as most law abiding people
on the earth, are found within the or

than the number Of such institutions.

WHY sCOTCHMEN GROW TALL


to Make hone and Muscle.
d. MacTavish. a correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune. writes rs follows: An
article In your Sunday paper, giving 3
recipe from French physician. How to
Make Men Tall" must be amusing 10
some of your Scotch readers.
Every intelligent person knows, or
should know. that the bones are the
frame and foundation OF a man or woman.
that phosphates are necessary in forming
these. and there are more phosphates In
oats. barley, wheat and rye than almost
any other food; history informs us that
Highland Scotchmen have been brought
up on this az a daily food, but they do
not only drink the extract OF these CO.
reals. but consume the liquid or extract.
and solid food as well, and have dOno
so for over a hundred years.
1t IL used In the following manner
Morning, large bowl of oatmeal porrid1e;
noon barley broth, cooked as follows: 70
two quarts OF water add two pounds bar.
ley. three or four pounds Of meat with
OK bone. and a few vegetables; cook fos
one and half hours
Oatmeal porridge in the evening again.
plenty OF wheat and rye bread ut each
meal. Food such as this, properly cooked.
is much better than any extracts. AZ you
get the fun benefit OF the phosphatea.
Some people In France and America would
call this pigs food, but IL would be better
for them than some OF the extracts and
solids they consume.
The Germans may get some little henos
fit from the extract of these cereals. but
not the full advantage. II fs worthy OF
note that although many Of the High
fanders are tall. they never get the super.
1uous flesh that a German carries.
