"DUMMY" HAMS FOR SUMMER,
Butcher shops Provided with Fine limitations While the Real Meat
 Goes Into the Cooler

In the good old summer time hams must be put away in the butchers ice chest like all other meats. The conse- quence is that for many hours of the day the show windows of butchers shop looks as barren as Yorkshire moor. says the New York Times. One of the large western packing firms has orig mated the idea of furnishing butchers who patronize them with dummy hams. to be hung in the windows while the real thing is in cold storage. This idea has the double advantage of advertising the particular brand of ham, and of giy- ing the butcher the appearance of con- tinuous prosperity, even in the hottest weather. The imitation hams are made of wood. They are covered with can vas, like the real hams, and fully stained, through. Nine out of ten passers-b by would not know the difference.
 Tn an Eighth avenue butcher shop one day lately they were short of dum- mics, and the boss decided to stuff three of the hams with sawdust A hungry man came along, grabbed one of them, and ran up the avenue. He was caught, but instead of prosecuting, the butcher gave him dime to buy something to eat. He explained that the laugh he had watching the crowd chase the man up the street until a policeman stopped him, and his dismay when he discovered that he had nothing but sawdust hem, was well worth ion centS

Frairpoint, Miss, Aug 3rd.-One of the strangest cases ever reported occurred here recently. The son of MT. c. L. Butler was very ill., The doctor said he had some dis ease of the spinal cord, and treated him for two months, but he grew worse all the time, and finally the doctor told MT. Butler that he did not know what was the trouble.
 The boy would wake up in the night and say that he was dying. He,would be nerv- ous and trembling and want to run out of the house, saying he saw ugly things which frightened him.
 His father was very much discouraged till one day he saw new remedy called Dodd' Kidney Pills advertised, and he at once bought some and began to give them to his boy.
 He used altogether eight boxes before he was entirely cured He has not been troubled since, MT. Butler says:
 T feel it my duty to tell what Dodd $ Kid ney M Pills have done for my boy. All this this speak for itself"

COMPLAINTS OF MINERS
Heard at Meeting of Board of Concilia-
 tion Yesterday.

New York, Aug. 23.-The board of con ciliation of the anthracite strike com mission met late to-day at the offices of the Lehigh Coal company in this city. There were present W. L. Connell of Scranton, chairman of the board; S. D Warriner oss the Lehigh Coal company. representing the operators, and District Presidents Nichols, Dettrey and Fahy, representing the mine workers. Carol D. Wright, the umpire of the board, was also present to receive three grievances of the mine workers which the board of conciliation could not agree upon. @
 MT. Fahy, on behalf of the miners. submitted the grievance of the employees of the Lehigh Valley Coal company at Centralia, who allege that the company reduced the price of powder fifty cents per keg and retained 6 per cent. of the increase granted. The other companies it is alleged, reduced the price of pow der s1.25 a keg and retained 1-2 per cent. Centralia men ask for an equit- able adjustment in price and percent age.
 On behalf of the operators Mir. Warri- ner admitted the truth of the miners allegation, but argued that he difference in conditions at Centralia and those ob- taining at other mining centers, justified the increased cost of explosive. Umpire Wright took the matter under advise ment. .
 The next grievance was submitted on behalf of the employees of the Pennsyl- vania Coal company at Dunmore, who claim that they are made to suffer by being underpaid for driving roadways owing to changes which have been made.
 The umpire also reserved his decision on the matter. The miners employed by the Northern Anthracite company in the Bernice fields submitted grievance to the board, claiming that the company has not paid the 10 per cent. increase awarded by the strike commission.
