LABOR CAN BEST OBTAIN
 ITS ENDS IN POLITICS
OPINION OF HEARST EXPIRE ESSED TO LABOR FEDERATION
 COMMITTEE.

Can Gain Great Deal by Entering tke
 Political Arena--Desirahle That They
 Make a Showing of Their Numerical
 Strength and of Their Power--Labor
 Movement Should Disassociate Itself
 From Partisan Politics.
 Washington, June 20.-'I believe that labor can better obtain it's ends by en- tering into politics and making any req sonable demands of the people and of the government as national factor than by resorting to force, such as call ing strikes. By that mean that labor can gain great deal by entering the political arena"
 This was the opinion expressed by Representative William R. Hearst, of New York, after brief visit to-day to the meeting of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, now in session here.
 MT. Hearst had been invited by Pres ident Gompers to give the cbuncil his opinions as to the question of labor en- tering into politics.
 q told the council that it was my opinion that laboring men should enter politics." said MT. Hearst, practically along the same lines that l have ex- pressed in my newspapers and that it was desirable that they make a show ing of their numerical strength and of their power. would not have them go into politics as partisans. The Labor movement should disassociate itself from partisan politics, and then labor people should regard themselves not SC much as democrats or republicans, but as labor men and use their great strength and their great influence tc elect to congress candidates favorable to them. After showing the great pow CT the labor element possesses they will receive respectful consideration of theii demands"
 | What part will you take in tht i, novement?" was asked
 "The same part I have heretofore 5 taken replied MT. Hearst. My ideal are just the same. My newspapers vii
 treat this question just as they hav'
 treated it in the past. Nothing ha
 been pledged by me in any way and :, don't believe anything will be pledge' ] in the future. As I said, the question a as viewed by me pertains to labor rath 7 CT than politics, to the advantages t 7 be derived by the former rather tha } by the latter. No political alliances, s a far as I know, have been made or a1 0 contemplated"

DEBATE AMERICAN MEATS.
sharp Discussion in the Switzerland
 National Council.

Berne, Switzerland, June 2O.-There was a sharp debate in the national council to-day concerning the proposed interdiction of the importation of Amer ican preserved meats Deputy Steiger asked the federal council to adopt eff fective measures along the frontier for the protection of public health, and M. Ruchet, minister of the interior, who replied in behalf of the government, said the recently adopted pure food law provided the necessary means of pro- lection and the federal council would consider whether emergency measures were necessary pending the application of the law. M. Steiger then expressed himself as being satisfied.
 Two socialist deputies, NM. Pellissier and Burnstein, protested against the proposition to interdict the importation of foreign meats, saying it would be against the interests of poor consumers The deputies accused M. Steiger of ex- aggerating the condition existing ir Chicago and of not having proved g single case of sickness in Switzerland resulting from eating American meats The laws, they insisted, could not pre- 1 vent occasional impurity, but this dit not warrant placing an interdiction or the importation of American meats.

with results so successful that it was
decided to continue the experiment.
DR.. Dunt holds to the theory that n
patient with pneumonia needs all the

A BOYS BREAKFAST
There's a Natural Food That Makes
Its Own Way.

There's boy up in Hoosick Falls,
N Y, who is growing into sturdy
manhood on GrapcNuts breakfasts.
1t might have been different with him,
as his mother explains:
My 11-year-oid boy is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made so by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food At five years he was a
very nervous child and was subject
to frequent attacks of indigestion
which used 10 rob him of his strength
and were very troublesome to deal
with. He never seemed to care for
anything for his breakfast until l
tried GrapeNuts. and l have never
had to change from that. He makes
his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts
food. 1t is always relished by him
and he says that it satisfies him bet
ter than the ordinary kind of meal.
Better than all he is no longer
troubled with indigestion or nervous
ness. and has got to be splendidly
developed fellow since he began to
use Grape-Nuts food" Name given by

Around the SaIton Sink.

San Francisco.-After an eXpendi,
ture of about 100000. the Southern
Pacific officials announce the final com
pletion of new piece OF track thirty
nine miles long in the Colorado desert
which will enable their trains TO ran
without interference from the waters
of the Colorado river which have filled
the Salton sink and ruined about forty
miles of their main line. The new
track will become part of the main
line unless the Salton sink is finally
rid of water by the proper control OF
the waters of the Colorado.
The new track leaves the present
main line at Mecca, station thirteen
miles east of Indio, and joins the main
line again at a place called Volcano. It
is fifty feet higher than the piece OF
main line it suppiants and is about
two miles away from the present level
OF the water in the Salton sink.
