SCORED BY THE
LABOR COUNCIL
Rear Admiral Melville's
Assertions Condemned.
His Recent Interview in a
Philadelphia Paper Is Held
to Be Misleading and Un-
warranted by the Facts.

At meeting of the Central Labor
Council OF Freeland and Vicinity, at the
Municipal hall this afternoon, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted
Whereas, Rear Admiral Geo. w. Mel
vile, of Washington, d. c., in an al
legged interview published in the Phla-
delphia Record on June s, 1909, grossly
misrepresents the existing facts and
Pennsylvania, by stating that 90 per
cent of the miners have struck without
cause and against their will and were
induced to do so by idle agitators, and
Whereas, Rear Admiral Melville, dur
Ing his visit to Freeland and vicinity,
found that miners and mine laborers
live in houses that are habitable, and
that many of these houses have lace
curtains at the windows, and was sur
prised that miners should strike for the
means to obtain and enjoy any further
luxuries of life, therefore be it
Resolved, That since Rear Admiral
Melville has failed and refused to deny
the authenticity Of the interview ac-
credited to him by a responsible news
paper, but evades the issue by claim
for friendship for both operators and
miners, therefore we, the representa-
tives of the eleven local unions com pris-
Ing the Central Labor Council OF Free
land and Vicinity, on behalf of the
miners and mino laborers OF the terri
tory toured by Mr.. Melville, hereby con-
demn his published statements and
sentiments as false, misleading and un-
warranted and brand the uncalIed- for
traducing of the leaders OF the mine
workers union as base fabrication
which cannot be supported or proven
by it's sponsor or any other person.
Resolved, That we request the press
of the country to give publicity to this
official refutation of the allegations and
illusions contained in Admiral Melvile's
interview, for the purpose OF correcting
any false impressions which his asser-
tions might convey to people not thor
oughly informed upon the justice OF the
miners strike and our right to endeavor
to improve our conditions SO that lace
curtains and habitable houses will no
longer occasion surprise to those in high
stations of life who may honor our re-
pinn with THAR nrasanca
Resolved, That the above preamble
and resolutions be and are hereby unani-
mously adopted by the Central Labor

Mechanical Institute, under whose aus
pices Rear Admiral Melville delivered
an address here on the 4th inst, wrote
on Monday to Washington, asking for
statement relative to the correctness OF

courtesy and their claims politely
sneered at.

inquiry was received yesterday, and is
as follows:

If You Have Pain In Your Back
Do Not Be Deceived You Have
Kidney Trouble, and You
Do Not Need a Physician
to Tell You So.

Let us give you piece of advice:
Pain in the back is an almost infallible
sign of kidney disease; a surer sign is
the condition OF your urine. If you
have pain in the back then look to the
condition of your urine. 1t is easily
with urine, after it has stood "a hours;
II it has sediment, If it is milky or
cloudy, if it is pale or discoored, stringy
or ropy, your kidneys and bladder are
in dangerous condition and need i'm
mediate attention, or the consequences
may prove fatal
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem
cdy is the one medicine that really
cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep-
sia and chronic constipation, and it will
take you but short tria! to convince
yourself of its wonderful curative power.
g. f. Sammer of No. 400 Tioga street,
Syracuse, N. Y, in a recent letter SAYS:
Il was afflicted for years with
severe pains In my back and kid
neys. l tried many doctors and
many medicines, but got no relief;
for over two years | scarcely had
good nights rest on account of
backache in most distressing form.
L bought bottle Of DR.. David Ken
nedys Favorite Remedy and com
menced to use it, and | must say
never imagined | should find such
wonderful cure. Why l feel like
young man again in spite of my SO
years"

FLOWING TO BE A LUXURY.
DR.. Gatling's Scheme for Making Easy
the Tilline of the Soil.

From the ST. Louis Republic
From plowing to automobiling seems
far cry, yet those two extremes are COM
bined in the latest invention of DR.. r. j.
Gatling, originator Of the famous rapid
firing gun which bears his name
AT the age of seventy DR.. Gatling has
conceived the idea of replacing farm horses
with gasoline and changing the adornment
of farmers hands from callouses to chauf-
feurs gloves.
In other words, plowing is to be revolu-
ttontzed, as was modern warfare.
Many years ago the cradle took the place
of the sickle, and that was later driven out
of the field by the reaper, which. after
short but useful career, was replaced by
the self-binding harvester, each in its
newer and better methods, cheapening the
cost of producing wheat. During all this
time, while the methods of harvesting the
crops We're being SO much bettered by in
Producing labOr-saving machinery. very lit
tie progress has been made toward cheap
ening the cost of preparing the land for
the seed
1t has remained for DR. Gatling to invent
a motor plow, driven by gasoline engine
of suficisnt power to propei the plows at
any desired depth between one and
twelve inches. The truck is built similar
to those trucks used with traction engines
except that the steam boiler is replaced
by strong platform. on which is placed
the gasoline engine. 1t is connected with
the traction gearing by series of wheels;
to this truck is attached d set of disc
plows
With this machine it is estimated that
one man can plow from thirty to thirty
five acres in a day. TO plow this number
of acres in one day with the ordinary plow
would require fifteen men and thirty horses
All that is required to operate the Cat
ling ploW is for the farmer to sit upou the
cushioned seat of the truck and work the
controller, which is not unlike those at
tached to automobiles. If he happers 10
be indisposed. his wife can take his place
1t is generally estimated that the cost Of
plowing under ordinary conditions is 81 30
per acre, and then the further preparation
OF the ground by narrowing and rolling il
costs another 30 cents per acre BY the
process of plowing with the Gatling ma
chine the ground becomes thoroughly pul-
verized and the rolling is not required Dr.
Gatling is having his plow made in St
Louis, and is going to form a St Louis
company to carry on its manufacture and
distribution when it is ready for the mar
ket. AS yet his plans in this latter re-
spect have not assumed definite shape. The
sample plow is now nearing completion
and will soon be ready for inspection
When seen at his residence, $3.50 I,indell
boulevard, he requested that nothing be
published about his invention until after
the model had been completed He de-
clined to talk about the wonderful mechan-
ism of the plow, fearing that the publica-
ton of his statements would bring numer-
Gus Inquiries, which, he said, he would
nave no time to answer just now.

TROPICAL FRUITS IN CUBA.
A Great Commerce in Them Likely to
Be DeVeloped

Augustus In the New York Observer
A great commerce is yet to be developed
in Cuba in the line of tropical fruits The
oranges are the best in the world, of rich
flavor and full of juice growing in great
pTofuson, never in danger from frost and
furnishing a crop that can be counted
upon. There is no doubt that oranges will
become one of the future important exports
Of the island. The banana has already
been made an extensive fruit of COM
merce, whole ship loads are carried from
the West Indies to the farthest regions of
the temperate zone and the trade is stead
lily increasing. 1t is a most nourishing
fruit, and we do not know half of its uses
The natives of Cuba roast and boil the
banana and use it in place of bread.
The pineapple grows wild in Cuba, but
il Is tanned and cultivated with great sue
cess. We know nothing of this king of
fruits in our northern cline. A pineapple
or two with bread and coffee make a de-
llcious breakfast, appetiZing, invigorating,
satisfying. The fruit grows upon single
stem, which rises a foot or eighteen inches
from the ground. The plant bears only one
fruit each year, but will continue to bear
for several years if properly cultivated. 1t
is multiplied by planting slips as cabba ges
or IettuceS are grown.
Northern palates do not readily assimi-
late the sweet and luscious tropical fruits,
though some become fond of guaVa jelly
especially when it is served with cream
cheese. and others enjoy the acid of the
tamarind. 1t requires a residence in warm
countries, where the system Graves con-
slant moisture and is benefited by fire.
quent use Of sweet and juicy fruits, to ac-
quire d thorough taste for the mango, the
sapotiila, the custard apple, pomegranate,
citron. green fig, cocoanut. breadfruit and
other tropical fruits. Nothing can surpass
in delicacy and heaithfuness the orange
and the pineapple, where they are natives,
but all of these other fruits mentioned have
only TO be known and used in w;-rm wealth
er to be enjoyed. and if properly prepared
and moderately eaten they are most health
full. Too many travellers gorge themselves
with unknown fruits, mixing sweet and
sour and using sense Judgment In
their choice. and then wonder that nature
revenges herself for the abuse of her boun-
ties and the breach of her simplest laws.
The United Fruit Company has acquired
large tracts of land in Cuba and If the is
land secures under the regime a stable
government and reasonable prosperity the
United States will enjoy in large meas
use the benefits of the change by an in
creased Importation on favorable terms of
some of the richest gifts of God to man,
flowers and fruits and all agricultural and
forest productions.

SCOTCH FARE LAUDED.
Oatmeal, Scenes and Haggis as Pre-
ventives of Dyspepsia.

From the New York Sun.
Defenders of the Scottish national fare
OF oatmeal, scones and haggis have been
few. To the ordinary bill of fare nearly
every nation save the Scotch has contribut-
ed something, but Scotch dishes, except at
distinctively Caledonian functions, are gen.
orally escheWed. A Scotch physician has,
however, come forward recently with ar
guments in favor of Scottish cooking. He
says, for instance, that dyspepsia and den
lists are practically unknown in Scotland
outside OF the large cities, in which the ma
tional cooking Of Scotland is discarded for
foreign dishes and foreign ways.
1t is fact that though distinguished in
the field of medicine, the Scotch as den-
tlsts are little known, and while the details
Oh cases or dyspepsia are less easily pro-
curable, IT Is certainly not a national all
ment In Scotland. The Scotch show no
partlal1ty Tor pies and pastry, and in the
highlands they are much out of DOORS
two reasons which might be taken to ac-
count for the absence of dyspepsia apart
from the Wholesomeness of their diet.
The Scotch are a hardy race, and in one
particular at least they have been able in
recent years to impress their views upon
the people of other countries namely, in
the more general use of cereals The popu-
larlty of cereal food has vastly increased
In the United States in the last ten years,
and II the advocates of Scotch cooking, or
rather of Scotch fare, have been unable to
get recognition for their views at the din
ner table, they have been more fortunate
at the breakfast board
