WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has tale to tell of con-
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst OF it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who. the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted of
going without hats. This is the way
he told 1t to an Interested company:
You see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are Just like them"

John B. Lennon, treasurer of the
American Federation of Labor, deliv-
cred recently an address on strikes.
Turning to the amusing features of
the strike question, Mr.. Lennon said:
81 remember a strike of bobbin
boys, a just strike, and one that sue
ceeded. These boys conducted their
fight well. even brilliantly. Thus the
day they turned out they posted in
the spinning room of their employers
mill great placard inscribed with
the words:
1.-The wages of sin is death, but the
wages of the bobbin boys is worse" "

Sheer white goods. III fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau

Natures Gift Wasted,

A Scotchman who recently took the
street car trip on the gorge route, the
New York side of Niagara river, was
much disgusted with the hawkers of
views and TEDDY bears who make
the afternoon hideous and do their
best to spoil natures grandeur. AS
he alighted from the car he looked
angrily at the shouting vendors and
then at the Whirlpool rapids. Whats

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Beine Made by the Ameri.
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
the avowed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular or Allopathic school, Of
which the Association is chiefly com
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is SO firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
sc me 10000 correspondents in ALL
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$1,000 are fully constituted mem

real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
7S1.9l and its total assets are S29l,-
567S9 Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compeA
