Value of Shorter Workday.

Writing of the philosophy of the
shorter workday, Samuel Gompers, ed
itor of the American Federationist,
says in part:
"As a matter of fact the entire his
tory of the world demonstrates clear
Nv that the workmen whose hours Of
daily labor are comparatively low are
those who receive not only compare
lively but actually higher wages, and
this is true as between the workers
of any of the countries on the face Of
the globe.
This is equally true as between
any two states or cities in any coun-
try. It is true as between any two
industries in any one city. and 1t is
even true as between two different
establishments in any one industry in
the same vicinity.
wherever the hours of daily labor
are longest the wages are lowest:
wherever the hours of daily labor are
shortest the wages are highest. In
truth, the same economic law governs
even in any one given large industrial
establishment. In such an establish
ment, having in view, of course. only
the wage-earners, we find that those
who enter 1t earliest in the morning
and leave it latest at night receive the
lowest wages paid to employees in that
establishment, while those who enter
It latest and leave it earliest in the
afternoon or evening receive the high
est wages paid to any of the employees
therein.
This is due to economic law, and
is founded in the philosophy that the
wage-earners whose hours of daily toll
are long become physically enfeebled,
mentally dwarfed and stunted, and
have few wants apart from their bare
necessities of life; while on the other
hand the wage-earners whose hours of

Child Labor and Consumption.

Says DR.. Louise Fiske Bryson oil
New York:
In New York 10000 children. too
tender to even know what work
means. are at work, and stunted and
diseased bodies are to be their heri'
tage. They are old at seventeen;
their lives are over at forty. And
the pity of it is that not necessity,
but greed-pitiless, grasping, selfish
greed-is the source of this lament
able condition.
Poor little things, they are rather
damned" than born into the world.
Under the conditions in which they
are brought up it is producing ma
ton of dwarfs. To thousands of little
children the country is free in only
one sense-free to die in.
Abolish child labor in the tene-
ments, in the stores, in the shops, in
the mills and laundries, in the streets
after night, and you will blot out con-
sumption.

In Defense of Old Men.

One union in Chicago has taken up
the "old man" issue and has placed a
clause in its demands that age shall
not bar a man from employment. pro-
vided he is able to perform his duties.
This demand has been made by the
iron and heavy hardware employees
union, whose members are employed
in wholesale hardware houses. 1t is
said to be the first step by the Chi
cago unions to protect old age and
fight the young man idea"

truth. at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoon
fui of this remedy. and when the cough
ing spell would come on at nightI would
take dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off aud would go to sleep perfectly
free from cough and its accompanying
pains To say that the remedy acted
as most agreeble~ surprise is putting
it very mildly. l had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because had never tried il for
such a purpose. but il did. and it seemed
with the second attack of coughing the
remedy esnsed it to not only be of less
duration, but the pains were far less
severe, and had not used the contents
of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid

HEFE'S TO DAD.

We happened into home the other
evening and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red,
What is a home without a mothers"
Across the room was another brief,
God bless our home Now what's the
matter with, "God bless our dad?'' He
gets up early, lights the fire, bOils an
egg, grabs his dinner pail and wipes the
dew of the dawn off the grass with his
boots while many a mother is sleeping.
He makes the weekly handout for the
butcher, the grocer, the milkman and
the baker, and his little pile is badly
worn before he has been home an hour
He stands off the bailiff ard keeps the
rent paid up.
If there's noise during the night dad
is kicked in the back and made to go
down stairs and find the burglar and
kill him. Mother darns the socks, but
dad bought the socks in the first place
and the needles and yarn afterwards.
Mother does up the fruit; we'll, dad
bought it all, and jars and sugar cost

Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, caryes them himself, and draws
the neck from the ruins after everyone
else is served. What is home without

what is a home without a father? Ten

BRAlN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tues. They have dispelled the silly
notlon that one kind of food is needed
Ior brain, another for muscles. and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of a
BODY, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is DESTROYED by
Indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates the
liver to healthy action, purifies the
blood, and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get this reliable
remedy at Ell leading druggists. Price
