In LABOR'S
.... . FIELD

While the recent convention. of the
Minnesota State Confederation of Labor
was larger, in point of attendance, than
any other session previously held. 1t Is
10 be regretted that all the st. Paul
unions could not see their way clear to
send delegates. Minneapolis did much
better In this respect than st. Paul She
had, it is stated, fully forty delegates
on the ground. Had every union In st.
Paul sent its full quota of delegates
which were allowed them, the showing
of this city would have been equally as
good. Afflliation with the state and ma;
tional declarations is quite as important
as membership in union. If the union
protects a workman in his rights, GER
tainiy the federations protect and
strengthen unions. 1t is hoped by the
newly elected officers of the Minnesota
federation that the next annual conyen-
ton at Red Wing will see a much larger
representation from st. Paul.
The delegates from this city to Duluth
speak in highest terms of the cordially
of their reception by the people of the
Zenith City No pains were spared to
make the visit of the ladies and gentle
men from over the state as pleasant as
possible.

About a year ago a doctor and his

time thin and yellow and considerably
out of health.
The first morning the new boarders

lady remarked as she sat her cup down.
This is coffee!' while the doctor added,

said nothing,tb but at the end of three
months, when MisssG. was ready to leave
US for new field of labor, said, IT have
been giving yousPostum Food Coffee all
the time you havea been here" what,
Is that coffee, Rostum?' she said. 1 re-
marked that l had noticed with great
pleasure, her daily, gain in health, and
now that she was leaving us after only
three months atfIour table, she had rosy
cheeks and a plump figure, which was
all the argument, anyone needed to prove
the fact that she fhad been well cared
for, and the reason for her gain in
health was the use of Postum Food Cof-
fee, for no other change had been made
of any account In her food.
The doctor was very much delighted
with the experiment, and discovered that
where he had tried Postum before, he
had been unfortunate in having it under
boiled. Postum must be boiled fifteen or
twenty minutes to bring out the delicious
flavor, and then 1t will suit the taste of
any one" Mrs Florence Dougherty,

ployment of union labor. The receipts
