AN OBJECT LESSON.


A physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number of
hearty, vigorous old men at the tables;
men whose ages run from 60 to 50 years;

but none OF them feeble or senie?

contrary, they seem to prefer a juicy
roast of beef. properly turned loin Of
mutton, and even the deadly boiled lob

The point of all this IS that a vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty OF wholesome food. and not upon

BOSTON, May 1.-The eight-hour day
was established today in almost every
district in New England where Journey
men OF the building trades have organ
ized. and the concession was obtained with
little friction and only a few strikes. The
most widespread demand for the eight
hour day was made some weeks ago by
the granite cutters throughout New Eng
land, and while at most places the de-
mands were granted, there were few
echoes OF that contention today.
The most important OF the strikes In
this industry was at Barre. Vt. where the
granite polishers went out, and confer
ence in the afternoon failed TO bring about
a settlement.
In Providence. Pawtucket and Boston
there were strikes In other trades. chiefly
among painters. carpenters and kindred
branches. but the numbers out were not
large. No May day in the recollection OF
the labor leaders in New England has
