SHOPS WHO WILL STUDY THE LABOR PROBLEM

@H HE personnel of the special COM
mission to examine into and
make a study of the labor
problem appointed at the re
cent convention of the Prot
estant Episcopal church in
San Francisco is one that in
spires respect and commands atten-
ton. The resolutions which suggested
and led to the appointing of this COM
mission were offered by Randolph H
McKim, D. D., of Washington and
promptly adopted by the convention
The house of bishops met soon after
and designated Bishop Potter of New
York, Bishop Lawrence of Massachu-
sets and COadjutOr Bishop Anderson of
Chicago. Besides the three bishops it
was provided that there should be three
presbyters and three laymen, or nine in
all, to compose this important body de-
signed to act as intermediary between
labor and capital. The clerical members
appointed are the Rev. Randolph H
McKim of Washington, Rev Charles d.
Williams of Ohio and Rev. George
Hodges of Massachusetts. The lay
members are Jacob Riis and Seth Low
of New York and Samuel Maher of
Ohio. While all these nominees are
prominent men, individually and col
lectively representative of the forces at
present making for humanitarian pur-
of the communities in which they dwell,
our attention is naturally directed to
the three most eminent appointees, the
bishops of the church and future lead
ers of the movement.

venerable Bishop Potter of New York,

APPLES MAKE YOU YOUNG.

AS apples are with us again it is well
to remember that this fruit contains a
larger percentage of phosphorus than
any other fruit or vegetable. This
phosphorus IS admirably adapted for
renewing the essential nervous matter
of the brain and spinal cord. The acids
of the apple are also of signal use for
men of sedentary habits whose Iivers
are sluggish in action, those acids serv-
ing to eliminate from the body noxious
matters which if retained would make
the brain heavy and duh or bring about
jaundice or skin eruptions and other al
lied troubles.
Some such an experience must have
led to our custom of taking apple sauce
with roast pork, rich goose and like
dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples,
either raw or cooked, will neutralize
any excess of chalky matter engen-
dered by eating too much.
It is also the fact that such fresh
fruits as the apple, pear and the plum,
when taken ripe and without sugar, di-
minish acidity in the stomach rather
than provoke 1t. Their vegetable salts
and juices are converted into alkaline
carbonates, which tend to counterfeit
acidity.
A good, ripe. raw apple is one of the
easiest of vegetable substances for the
stomach to dea with, the whole proc
ess of it's digestion being completed in
eighty-five minutes.
A pouItice made of rotten apples is Of
very common use in Lincolnshire, Eng
land, for the cure of weak or rheumatic
eyes Likewise in the Hotel des Inva-
lides, at Paris, an apple poultice is
used commonly for infamed eyes, the
apple being roasted and it's pulp ap-
piled over the eyes without any inter-
vening substance.

teriously disappeared. All efforts to
trace him proved fruitless, and as he
had with him a considerable sum of
money foul play was feared. Four
years later his wife, CHANGING to be in
