LEARNED A LESSON,

Tn a recent issue of The Outlook there is an account of peculiar and significant case, which is thus briefly outlined by The New Bedford Stand ard:
 In June of 1902, the Eastman Kodak Company had disagreement with a pol tshers union, whose members were em- ployed in its works. The manager re- fused to grant the unions demands but he did suggest that the dissatisfied sworkmen start a shop of their own, omering to lease to them his plant, and agreeing to give them his work at cur rent prices. Thirty-four employees de- cided to accept the proposition, and Formed stock company. They them selves constituted the working force, paying themselves standard wages and sharing in the profits. It has taken less than three years for the concern to come into the ownership of five of the original stockholders, while some of the other twenty-nine are working as it's employees and others have gone elsewhere. The conspicuous feature of the business is that the five present owners, Instead of running union shop, refuse to treat with the local union, and carry on an open shop. when the union insisted upon enforce ment of some of it's rules concerning the hours and other details, the new proprietors announced that they would close the shop rather than comply. So . they have got round with considerable celertty to the point of view which their own employees occupied less than three years ago.
 The significance of this case lies in the fact that these men so pointedly refused to take the medicine they had prescribed for others. The change from employe to employer made all the difference in the point of view. When they occupied the former position they believed in the sacred and inalienable justice of unionism and the paramount rights of union labor. When they be- came employers they saw the other side and were converted from their error.
 It is fair to assume. we think that the five men who eventually came into possession and control of the works were superior to the others. Not bet ter workmeu, possibly, but better man. agers and better business men. They obtained control because they were better fitted for it, we should say. And because they refused to run a closed shop. They soon found that when unions dominate a business they do 1t for their own interests and not for the good of their employers.
 These five men learned a lesson and their action ought to teach one. They saw that the closed shop was illogical and unfair. They have their eyes open to the fact that a man may be a good and trusty workman without belonging to a union. They have further learned that wearing the union label does not make a man a better workmen or a more reliable employe And finally they have learned that this is supposed to be a free country. Are not these good lessons?

WHY IS 4 BARBER'S POLE
 PAINTED WHITE AND RED2

For many years it has been custo. mary fir a barber's sign to be a pole painted in alternate stripes of white and red. It is a custom handed down from the time when every barber was also a Teach" or blood-letter, and the white and red pole signifies the blood and banda9es Blood-letting in those times was supposed to be a cure for al- most every ailment. We pretend to consider that we have advanced won- derfully in the knowledge of medi- cine and surgery in the last hundred years, but doctors still delight in cut- ting people open to cure them of ap- pendioitis To be sure 1t Is one way of curing this dread disease but you wouldn't advise cutting off a leg to cure a corn-and cutting off leg isn't half so dangerous as an operation for appendicitis You can't over-estimate the horror and danger of it. It should only be resorted to in the last extrem< ity.
 Every surgical operation for appen- dicitis is throwing dice with death-4 the chances are about even that you will not come through it alive. Then why take the risk? Milks' Emulsion has been known to cure weIl-developed cases. as we can prove by many testi- monials in our possession. Read what this man says:
 The Milks Emulsion Company,
 Terre Haute. Ind. Gentlemen: I was a constant suffer- CT for five years with stomach trouble which developed Into appendicitis aa diagnosed by physicians and for six months expected orders to be taken to the hospital to undergo an opefation by knife when was induced to try a bottle of Mi1ks' Emulsion and not more than half a bottle was taken by me when was given relief and have no indications of any pain in my side or stomach since that time and can freely recommend Milks' Emulsion to anyone suffering from stomach trouble or indications of appendicitis.
 Yours truly,
 Jack c. Rutherford, Dee. 1s. lsoa Rutherford Printing Go,
 Terre Haute. Ind But prevention is far better than cure You will never have appendici4 tiS as long as you keep your stomach and bowels in proper condition. Con+ stipation is the starting point of most stomach and kidney troubles.
 Milks' Emulsion will positively and permanently cure constipation, for 10 not only acts as a slight cathartic, but 1t aids digestion and stimulates the stomach and bowels to proper action. It lis not only assimilated by the most delicate stomach, but aids in the asa similation of other food and enable the body to properly extract the nutriment which Is so necessary to health and vitality.
 We not only guarantee a positive cure of constipation, stomach trouble and all affliction arising from an una healthy condition of the mucous mem- hrane of the thu cat lungs, stomach and bowels, such as bronchitis, Asthma. hay fever, indigestion and various forms of lung trouble, but we prove our claim by buying a regular 800 bottle of Milks' Emulsion from your druggist and presenting 1t to you free of charge.
