SLEET-WRECKED TREES.
Should Be Trimmed by Experts and
Not by Tree Butchers.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger.


Butchers" with saws and hatchets, are
certain to be much in evidence for the
next few weeks, importuning owners for
Job to ''prune'' and put in shape the
broken trees. If the people are wise they
will be more than ordinarily cautious whom
they employ to do this work. The trees are
in a critical state, and In the hands of an
unskilled person may suffer irreparable In
jury.
The best course would be to employ men
furnished by reputable nurserymen and
landscape gardeners. II this cannot be
cumpassed in every instance, then the owner
should superintend the work himself,
have the broken branches carefully and
smoothly cut away and the wounds COW
cred with mineral paint. If, when this Is
done the trees are much out Of shape 1t
may be necessary to cut away some of
the other branches, So as to make them
in a measure symmetrical. being careful
in every instance to cover the wounds
with paint to prevent rotting. No con-
Germ need be felt for limbs that have be-
come distorted, for it is almost certain
that in time they will return to their
former shape. If. as 1t may happen. nearly
all the leading branches have been broken.
that tree, II 1t Is worth preserving, should
be taken in hand only by skilled man.
otherwise 1t might just as well be rooted out
at once, for, under the treatment of the
butcher 1t will live but for a short time
Providing prompt care is exercised, the
large majority of the trees that are now ap-
pear irreparably injured will by next year
beauty. and some. indeed. will be hand
somer than ever. OF course, none of this
applies to trees that have been previously
subject to the rough treatment OF the saw
and hatchet man. Where the limbs have
been badly broken the trees are probably
beyond hope of restoration.

Oatmeal Mush and Diabetes.

Or. Pavy Of England has shown that diabetes
IS due to an imperfect digestion Of starch and its
absorption in the blood. 1t Is impossible for the
stomach to digest cereal foods taken in the form
Of mush, in which the starch Is less than half
cooked. This Is of the reasons why diabetes
is becoming common in this country and Brit
ish Islands French physicians long ago discovered
that toasted bread dextrinized starch is an
excellent remedy in diabetes. The best dextrnized
food, however, is known to be Toasted Wheat
Flakes, sweetened with Malt Honey, made by the
Battle Creek Sanitarium Food Co. These flakes
are thin thoroughly cooked and Drowned They
are very appetizing, partly predsested and quickly
assimilable.

Eve have an innovation in our town in
the way OF religious meetings. said Sena-
tor ". r. Johnston, Of Charlottesville.
Instead of having services in the churches
this summer on Sunday evenings the minis
tiers have arranged union meetings of the
different congregations which are held on
the college campus. The services begin at
o'clock and last until after usually.
Large congregations are usually present
and the plan is quite a success. The
campus is beautiful in the summer and the
people enjoy going out in nice weather.
On Thursday evenings the people of the
different churches hold a union meeting
at the courthouse. They have first-class
music at these meetings also I am told
that the Frankfort churches have inaugu-
rated the same plan"
Exodus parties" are also a Crawfords-
Vile innovation. The Big Four Railway
is getting ready 10 build a handsome new

Trades Unions to Aid.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-A conference has
been held here of representatives of about
twenty-five labor unions under the auspices
of the Central Federated Union. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was the formation of
plan for aiding the anthracite miners who
are on strike Father Curran, of Wilkes
barre Pa, who tried recently to get the
operators to settle the strike, was present
and was invited TO make an address.
1.-TWO things" he said. ARE necessary
in order that the miners may win. The
first is that they keep the peace; the sec
ond is that they have the finances TO keep
up the struggle The strike as whole has
shown that they can keep the peace. l
hope they may have the funds
After suggestions had been made by dele
gates il was decided to appoint commit
tee to operate with the chairman and sec
rotary in drafting set of circulars asking
for contributions TO the strikers. The COM
mittee will report to the Central Federated
Union on Saturday.

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE)
tai number OF miners up to between 200
and $1,000, and only 20, 900 Of them are or
gained OF the organized miners about
800 have been on strike since April l.
Dolan said finances had been short in sup
porting his district and that proper atten-
ton had not been paid TO it.
MONEY SENT TO DOLAN
President Mitchell showed that money
had been sent TO the Pittsburg district and
that Dolan had apparently been satisfied.
He said the national treasury sent 5000
to Dolan as loan. and he said at the time
that it would be sufficient to end the strike
AT the next meeting Of the executive board
the money was to be considered an appro-
priation. if the district was not able TO
pay it, II was also shown that district
OF organizations had sent money to Dolan.
The controversy made an opening FOR a
vigorous discussion of the pFOpOSitlOn (
President Mitchell as to the bituminous
striking districts sharing IN the defense
fund to be raised. The leaders of the dis
trict organizations took a stand ore LAY
or the other on the manner N which the
ments we're heated Loud applause fre-
Quently interrupted the speakers or con-
cluded their arguments. The Illinois miners
stood solid for an assessment On ths per-
centage plan. They have mat system in
their district and il has been very sue
cessful and has enabled that State TO have
It's Tlcn treasury Many or the miners are
not working full time, some a little more
than half time, and 1t was cOntende that
a levy OF 81 a week would not he equitab BILE.
Those in favor of per cent assessment
said that the miners who are working
steadily better able TO pay more and
that a portion of the earnings Of each was
the only equitable way of making the levy.
SOME MIGHT REFUSE TO PAY.
1t was also stated that some of the min
ers who are short of work might refuse
to pay 81 a week and then the organiza-
tion would get nothing On the per cent
plan it was suggested that the check-off
system would enable the miners to collect
their funds with greater facility.
An argument advanced by those in favor
of the 81 assessment was that the operators
that are furnishing steady work might cut
down operations and then the percentage
plan would not bring in sufficient revenue.
The sure way would be to assess each an
equal amount.
All afternoon this argument was kept
up either upon the manner of leVying the
assessment or the manner in which the
money should be distributed The matter
was finally left to a committee composed of
the district presidents and the national
officers The committee was instructed to
devise plan and report it to the conven-
ton at 10 o'clock this morning.
Mother" Jones arrived from West Vir-
ginia in the afternoon and Immediately
went TO TOmlinson Hall to join in the con-
vention. As she stepped upon the stage
she was greeted with loud cheers Then
kissed him like she would If he were her
long lost son. At this the convention ap-
plauded and then again got down to bust
ness.
