ORGANIZATION TO FIGHT UNION
LABOR.

ORGANIZATION TO FIGHT UNION
LABOR.
Representatives of every Employers
Association of the country met in Sc
cret session yesterday at the Audi
torium Annex and organized national
body that is to fight union labor and
promote the interests OF employers
and independent workmen by all legit-
innate means. Under the leadership
of President D. nj. Parry, of the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association,
those present framed a temporary or
ganization and made arrangements for
a general meeting in this city late In
October. The officers Of more than
500 employers organizations, repre-
senting more than 7,000,000.o00 cap
ital, according to the promoters, will
be invited to attend
The new association will send out
a hundred paid organizers to form sub
sidiary associations in manufacturing
and business centres. 1t will main
tain a legal bureau to watch over it's
interests. and will probably keep per-
manent LOBBY at Washington and in
every legislature.
1T is the intention of this associa-
ton to choke off the inclination of or
ganized labor to conduct the business
of this country on an unlawful basis"
said Mr.. Parry. 1T is our intention to
throw safeguard around the non
Union workman and the man who de-
sires to work for his own interests and
for whom he phases"

PERSONAL CHARM.
1t Must Be AssiduOusly Cultivated by
the Actress Who Wishes to BE

There are few people except those
who are personally familiar with the
stage who can fully comprehend the
professional life Of one engaged in the
presentation of the higher class drama.
! 1t has become custom of recent years
to attack with more or less ability the
moral and intellectual tendencies of
the stage, and more than one fierce
war has been waged against the So
called degeneracy of the modern
drama. This, of course, arises from
the lack, or rather the want, of more
intimate knowledge OF stage affairs.
l take it that a large majority OF
those engaged in the dramatic profess
sion are DESTROYS Of elevating the stage,
that being common phrase these
days. When we look back over what
has been accomplished for the stage in
the United States during the past Is
years, one cannot help realizing that a
great reform has taken place. and this
reform is for the better. We have bet
ter theaters, both for the comfort of
the players and the audiences.

tors. Some of the best financial minds
in the country are largely interested in
the business.

Psychologists suppose that an impor-
tant part is taken by the phagocytes,
or devouring cells. Some years ago it
was made to appear that some of these
cells are color eaters, and that they
whiten the hair by Selling the pigment
grains and conveying them into the
skin or out of the organism. On fur
Their study the theory has been evolved
that old age itself is due to phagocytes
that destroy the nerve cells. The nerve
eating cells have keen found in the
brains of many old people and old nam
mails, as well as in persons suffering
from nervous disease, but in no case
have they been known to reach such
development-or TO have so nearly
taken the place Ct the nerve cells-as

at the great age of 81, after some years
of feebleness and senility.

ABOUT CHAPPED HANDS.
II n Little Care Ii Exercised, No Won.
an Need Go Around with I'm
attractive Wrists.

This winters trouble with chapped
hands has renewed the interest OF
women, and men, too, in lotions and
other things which help to keep them
soft, and many authorities are
quoted on the subject of the care OF
the hands.
The chief reason of this common
but annoying complaint of cold
weather is that the skin, losing its
elasticity because of a lack of natural
secretion at a time that atmospheric
conditions do not induce perspira-
ton, becomes unduly dry and con-
tracted, and so liable to crack. 1t
is a tender skin that will do this,
because tender skins are thin and
delicate, and cannot stand what
rougher ones will.
Another cause is carelessness in
drying the skin after washing it.
particularly if it is washed imme-
diately before going out into the
open air or directly after coming in.
Very many persons in cold wealth
er dare not wash their hands either
before going out or Immediately aft
er coming in, for if they do, even
though the water they use be warm.
their skin will burn so as to be pain
full, and it will look red besides.
They may avoid such an annoy
ance if they will rub on the hands a
little cold cream or camphor ice, al.
low it to remain on moment or so,
and then remove it with a soft old
handkerchief, either of silk or cam
brio.
Another delightful emollient for
the hands, arms and neck is fine oat-
meal. Put it into flannel bag, boil
and then place it in the water intend
ed for additions, or it may be kept
dry in a jar on the toilet table and
some rubbed on the hands whenever
they are washed. Honey rubbed into
the skin, while still wet, drying it in
as the skin is dried, is also a proven.
tive of chapping.
If hands were dried more carefully
there would be less roughness OF the
skin. A good plan is to dry the hands
we'll, after using the towel, with az
! old. soft silk handkerchief.
| Glycerine is an old friend, but as
alone it is irritating to most skins
it should be diluted with rose water
or pure water, one part of glycerine tc
three parts of rose water. If about one
dram of acetic acid is used to one
ounce of glycerine, it helps to re
move any stain from the hands.
If woman is wise she will take
the precaution to wear gloves whei
busting a room or doing any kind Of
work that will soil her hands.-Chi

we sisters of the stage are in advance
that is, we lead the way-we picture
what is to be rather than portray what
has been. And I am not sure but that
the chief exploitation is that of health.
Surely there is no harder worked
creature than the modern actress; and,
to be able to perform her work, health
is the one great essential. The actress
is literal slave. She can go nowhere,
see no one; she must be careful of her
diet and of her nerves. The routine of
her life must be carried on with alb
soiute military precision. She must
sacrifice all that a woman most loves
in order that she may be physically able
to carry on her work. 1t is the prep
aration of this work, the physical prep
aration, that is so vital to the modern
actress.
This preparation means time and
money; it means, in a sense, life of
luxury, but it is an expensive luxury;
but, after all, this luxury, so-called, is
an extreme necessity. While it is true
the leading actresses of the country
make money in large quantities, little
of it is being saved. Their income
must be spent with lavish hand.
1t is the accessories of ones life-the
life of an actress that are so essential
the masseuse, the manicure, the hair
dresser and the maids-and oftentimes
SO many of them-all of the necessary
helpers in the great battle for health.
There is the cold plunge in the morn
ing that must be taken in the proper
temperature; the drives and other out
of-door exercises-the constant, cease.
less care of the body that takes up
the necessary routine. 1t is never.
ending struggle; therefore l repeat
again that the actress, if she be true tc
her profession, is indeed slave.
The stage of to-day maynot deal with
philosophical religious thought in the
same earnest manner in which it has
done in the past, nor delight in the de-
piction of abstract phases of charac'
ter, but it does present living men anc
women of to-day. To portray the
women the actress is obliged to sum
mon every art and to perfect hersel1
in every physical charm that she may
serve as model for personal attract
iveness.-Virginia Harmed, in Boston
