Warning.

The soliciting of advertisement and
cash moneys in the name OF organized
labor hes in some portions OF the state
assumed such shameless proportions as
to endanger the good name OF organlz-
ed labor and some of it's representatives.
whose names, in some cases, have Deen
forged to so-called credentials. For
these reasons we wish to announce
tnat any soliciting of advertisement is
in the name of the Wisconsin
sin State Federation OF Labor should be
treated as humbug and any person
presenting himself as solicitor OF ad-
yertisements in the name of the State
Federation of Labor should be de-
nounced as swilder.
While the organization approves OF
advertisements by it's official. organs
the Social democratic Herald of Mil
waukee and the Sheboygan Volksblatt,
these publications must and can stand
upon their own merits.
Article Is, section l OF the consti-
tuition in part provides that the officers

! Dung Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
mall and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
If food, but because the food
Ices not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

Captain J. H. Alexander, who for four

this morning that his services would be

F. Page Of 7this city, was kidnapped six
years ago, while on a farm near Granite
Falls, where she had been sent by an out

Holt probation officer. 1t has been
stated that the mother did not know of
the child's whereabouts for four years;
that the little one had been abused, and
that the mother is now trying to regain
possession of her offspring. Z
.E Mr.. Holt says that the records show
that the. Page children were committed
to the training school by an order Of the
probate court, issued before the children
were in possession of the officers. An
attempt to take the little folks was baked
and later, while they were out in the coun-
try, Lilly was found and taken in charge
by the school authorities. There was no
kidnapping. Now the mother wants the
child, but the authorities have not de-
cided whether it is best to allow her petit
