Cholera In Manila.

The outbreak OF cholera in Manila
revives memories OF the terrible
epldemics of the past, especially the
one OF 1902, when there were record
ed some $4,000 deaths out of 100 .36G
cases. Last year there were III
cases reported, with 553 deaths. Since
1902 the health officers have in
trenched themselves behind a sys
tenn of inspection and sanitation that
should prevent the recurrence of the
scourge on great scale, but they
are often hampered by those ignor
ant natives who regard health law.
as oppression, and who hide from the
authorities cases that occur in theii

Good COLOR. For Houscs.

II ia not generally known-not
even among painters-why certain
tints end colors wear much better
than others on houses, and the
knowledge OF just what tints are best

one writer on paint, in u recent
book says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist

those which allow these rays TO pass
through the film.
Thus red is good color because

In general. therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor. so far as wear is concerned.
In choosing the color OF paint for
your house. select reds, browns,
Srays and olives which. considering
the various tones these tints will
produce. will give a wide range from
which 90 choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold

(like grass green. etc.). and the
blues.

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.
Those Who Enjoy 1t Owe a Duty to
Those Who Do Not

The eight-hour day seems to be quite
thoroughly established among those
who labor with their hands. The
to subordinates that the eight-hour law
must be observed on all government
work, whether direct or by contract,
gives an official endorsement to the
short work day, and will lend weight
to the claims of those outside the pale
of the government, who are striving
for eight hours. 1t has been a long
time since the principle was enuncia
ted that the proper division of time
was eight hours for work, eight hours
for recreation and eight hours for rest.
Just how far the principle can be made
to apply to every walk in life, it is
difficult to determine, though time will
probably work out the solution of the
problem, as it has been working it out
in the past. In the meantime, a great
many people, who recognize the oppor-
tunities confronting them, will contin-
lie to work more than eight hours,
some with their hands and many with
their brains. And some of the men
are the best fitted mentally and
physically for the duties of life have
worked ten, sixteen and occasionally
twenty-four hours out of the twenty
four. Work kills mighty few men.
Dissips ton kills multitudes.
But the eight-hour day is all right
provided of course, those who have Sc
cured the short work day known how
to use Alright the other hours that are
to be devoted to rest and recreation.
If a laboring man spends his recrea-
ton time in dissipation, it would be
much better for himself, his family
and the state if he were compelled to
work sixteen hours a day. The man
who works eight hours has a wonder
full opportunity to improve his mental,
will spend his time acquiring knowl-
edge taking healthful exercise and en-
joying clean sport, instead of wasting
his time hanging around booze joints
and denouncing those whose thrift and
common sense has enabled them to
get on in the world, he will prove the
wisdom of granting the eight-hour day
to those who toll The workingman
has become the recipient of golden
opportunity. 1t is up to him to improve
that opportunity. He cannot improve
it by guzzling booze and damning the
government and his more thrifty fel-
lows between guZzles.-Cedar Rapids
Gazette.

Wholesale to country dealers. The
total would mean the employment of

THE WRONG IDEA.
Buy Union Made Goods Because It Is
Your Union Duty.

The other day the editor was in a
cigar store when another union man
came in to get cigar.
What do you want?" queried the
clerk.
The union man named union made
cigar and took it with the remark:
Couldn't call for anything but 2
union cigar with the editor of The
Wageworker standing by ME. He'd
bawl me out
That isn't the idea at all. Union
men ought to buy union made goods
because it is their duty to do SO, not
because they are afraid of being
'bawled OUT if they do not. Every
time you buy non-union goods you are
''scabbing' on your fellow unionists.
That's the whole thing in a nutshell.
