NO STRIKE AT SOUTH CHICAGO.
Illinois Steel Company's Men Vote
to Remain at work.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11-There will be no
strike by members of the Amalgamated
association at the illinois Steel works IN
South Chicago. At . joint meeting Of
the local lodges this afternoon, presided
over by a representative of Vice Presi-
dent Davis, OF the Fourth district, it
was decided by an almost unanimous vote
to remain at work, and if necessary to
give financial support to their striking
brethren in other mills. In statement
to the public defining their position in
the struggle between the association and
the United States Steel corporation, the
men claim that in justice to themselves
and the Illinois Steel company, they
are compelled to disregard the order Of
President Shaffer, as they have no griev-
ances and have contracts signed that
will not expire for another year.
Vice President Davis was in attend
ance at the meeting, but took no active
part in the proceedings and left the hall
a few minutes before tine deciding vote
was taken.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Central
Federated union adopted the following
resolution today:
Resolved, That we admire and ap-
prove the stand taken by Mayor Black,
of McKeesport, in championing the
cause of the striking steel workers and
by standing by what he thinks is right
in the face of abuse and misrepresenta-
ton. He put himself on record as
friend of the down-trodden and the OPP
pressed. AS a rule when city officials
are guilty of any action against organized
labor we are quick to denounce it. Let
us be as quick to praise a man like
Mayor Black, who is not afraid to say
that he will arrest the men who come
to take the strikers places.
Resolved, That we authorize the sec
rotary of this body to congratulate Mayor
Black, of McKeesport, Pa. on the cour-
ageous stand he has taken"

A Strange Custom.

How Centuries ago. st. vitus' Dance
Derived its Name-The Old and New
Way of Treating this Disease.
From Republican Traveller, arkansas City, Kan.
Centuries ago it was believed that by
a pilgrimage to some shrine of st. vi
tus, persons afflicted by irregular and
uncomfortable muscular movements
could be cured, and that is how this
disease, which usually affects children
between five and fifteen years old,
came to be called st. Vitus' dance.
The modern way to successfully treat
this disease is within reach Of every
household, as shown in the following
experience of Karl A. Wagner, the
eleven-year son of George Wagner,
515 9th St., Arkansas City, Kansas,
"Over year ago." says Mr.. Wagner,
''my son began to have twitching In
his right side, which rapidly became
worse. We called in our family physl-
clan, and he told us that Karl had
St. Vitus' dance. For over five months
he was under the doctors care, anu
instead of getting better he continued
to fail
"k. last he became so bad that when
sitting at the table to his meals we
had to strap his right arm to his side
to keep him from knocking the dishes
off the table. His tongue became so
paralyzed that he could talk only in
gutterals. We could not understand
a word he said. His right leg hung
limp and could be pushed back and
forth as if hung on swivel. He be-
came very thin.

that the disease could not be cured, and
il Karl lived any length of time he
would become an invalid.
1--WE had about given up all hope,
when one day lady said to my wife,
If you will give him DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, they will cure
him, as I have daughter, twelve
years old, who has been afflicted in the
same way, and the pills cured her.
"I sent at once and bought box Of
the pills and used them according to
directions, and before using half or
them noticed a change for the better
in his condition, and after using all
the pills I was so well pleased with
the result that I boug1- two more
boxes, and by the time he had used
five boxes the disease disappeared.
"The cure has been effectual and
permanent. and feel satisfied that no
other medicine could have effected
such marvellous results. We feel re-
joiced over the restoration of our son,
and cannot help but feel that DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are the most remarkable medicine OH

present, fully endorsed all the words
of her husband.

A Japanese Beauty's Dinner.

Over eating is not the sin Of the
satin-skinned, almond-eyed, fastidious
flower of japan. She begins in the
morning when she awakes by eating
two little green plums picked in vine
gar and rolled in sugar. A cup Of tea
completes this almost traditional
breakfast of Japan. The dinner is Of
the drollest composition. 1t is brought
in on a tray of red lacquer in micro
scopic cups with covers. A hashed
sparrow, a stuffed prawn, seaweed with
sauce, a salt sweetmeat, a sugared
chilli.
After all these dishes, which are a
mere make-believe, a wooden bowl is
brought in, bound round with copper
and filed to the very brim with rice
plainly cooked in water. The flower Of
Japan fills another large bowl from it,
darkens its snowy white surface with
a black sauce favored with fish, mixes
it altogether, carries the bowl to her
lips and Grams down all the rice, shov-
cling it with her two chopsticks into
her throat. And so ends the dinner.

Besides Their Beauty They Are OF

Besides Their Beauty They Are of
Practical Use In China.
1t was DR.. MacGowan who some
years ago described the manner In
which floating fields and gardens are
formed in China. In the month OF
April bamboo raft 10 to II feet long
and about half as broad is prepared.
The poles are lashed together. with
interstices of an inch between each.
Over this a layer Of straw an incn
thick Is spread. and then coating two
inches thick of adhesive mud Is taken
from the bottom of a canal or pond
which receives the seed. The raft Is
moorpd to the bank in still water and
requires no further attention. The
straw soon gives way and the soil
also. the roots drawing support from
the water alone. In about 20 days the
raft becomes covered with the creeper,
and its stems and roots are gathered
for cooking In autumn it's small
white petals and yellow stamens,
Nesting among the round leaves. pre-
sent very pretty appearance. In
some places marshy land is profitably
cultivated in this manner.
Besides these floating vegetable gar
dens there are also floating ricefields.
Upon RATS constructed as above reeds
and adherent mud are placed as a
flooring soil. which. being adhesive and
held in place by weed roots, the plants
are maintained in position throughout
the season. The rice thus planted
ripens in from 60 to 70 in place Of
100 days. The RATS are cabled to the
shore. floating on lakes. pools or slug
gish streams. These floating fields
serve to 7ert famines. whether by
drought or Hood. When other fields
were submerged and their crops sod
