PAY OF LABOR LEADERS.
Trades Union Officials, as Rule, Re-
ceive Small Salaries.

Trades Union Officials, as Rule, Re-
ceive Small Salaries.
Enemies of trades unions find their
greatest enjoyment in the denunciation
of labor leaders whose chief object in
life is to wiring high salaries from
their "deluded followers" And
great many well meaning persons are
deceived into the belief that union
officials are rolling in luxury purchased
with the money from organization
treasures. The truth is that, measured
by the ability and industry required Of
him, the trades union official is the
most meagerly recompensed Of man
ayers of important affairs in this coun-
try.
Not because hfs case is exceptional,
but because he has at last been in
duced to speak plainly upon the sub
ject to his organization, the experience,
of James Duncan is cited. Mr. Dun
can, who holds the nOnsalaried posi-
ton of first vice president of the Amer
lean. Federation of Labor, is also the
active secretary-treasurer Of the Gran
tie Cutters National union. He was
recently reelected to the latter Office.
In his letter of acceptance he said:
"The salary for the position l hold
is entirely inadequate. [ could write
on the subject far better if [ were not
personally interested, but as some Of
our members have commented adverse
" on mr silence on the subject I am
taking this opportunity to use the ex-
preston just written. In as far as
the constitutional allowance when
away from headquarters is concerned
it is so far from being fair that ( dc
not care 70 make further reference 10
if than simply this bare mention. Con
ditfons have so changed of recent years
that when, as your representative,
have had to visit large cities on your
behalf and put up at hotels frequented
by men in similar positions the allow
ance made me by our constitution did
not more than pay for my room, and
If l went to the dining room occa-
sionally you will see that the waters
bill could neither in whole nor in part
be paid from the constitutional allow
ance"

BEARS CAPTURE A TOWN
Driven in by Forest Fires They Ter.
roriZe the Population, but Three
of Them Are Killed.

Standish, Mich, Aug. O. Driven
from the lowlands by forest fires, a
small army Of bears invaded this
town, forcing suspension Of business
for several hours and terrorizing the
population. The visit was made just
as the stores We're being opened for
business and men were on their way
to the factories. The invasion was
headed by big mother bear and two
cubs. They chose the principal street
of the town for entry and when they
had driven every one under cover were
bold enough to stop in front Of a gro
Gerry store.
This vanguard was followed by the
main army of four big animals which
raced through the business section in
double quick time. When the in
habitants had recovered from their
astonshment big hunt was organized
and in two hours three of the invad-
ers were brought back as game

CHARACTER IN THE
HAIR.

Auburn hair means a kindly, sympa-
thetic nature.
Straight hair indicates more power to
govern than curly.
Curls denote feeble sense Of right and
wrong, gayety, vivacity, self-confidence.
Straight black hair. growing coarse and
thick indicates more order and industry
than mental power.
Fine brown hair only accompanies excel
lent minds generally the owner has intel
lectual tendencies.
Red hair is strongly characteristic-no
halfway business there 1t usually indi-
Gates quick temper, though there are ex-
ceptions.
Beautiful golden hair is rarely seen on
persons of a gross nature. 1t owner loves
fine arts and possesses exquisite sensibili-
ties.
Hair and eyebrows differing in color are
said to mean untrustworthiness. They in
dictate race mixture, and bespeak wayer-
ing, unsteady nature.
As rule, smooth, fine, softly waving
hair betokens gentleness, quietness, neat
ness. Unduly sleek, straight hair gives
warning of slyness, hypocrisy.

DIABETES
in CHILDREN

we have before US letter announcing
failure In the case of child in Virginia
The distracted father reports that Full
toms Compound helped the child more
than anything else, but that it did not
arrest the progress of the disease, and in
announcing the fatal termination he
thanks US for the effort we made to save
the little ones life This and several 9TH
er failures in Diabetes in children accent
the necessity for a statement that has
already been made public, but that we
feel should be given further publicity.
Before the formulate for F'u1ton's Com
pounds for Bright's Disease and Diabetes
were purchased of the late John J. Full
ton. tests were made to determine their
efficiency. CThirty-six page pamphlet,
giving many of these tests will be mailed
on application. The investigation showed
favorable results in eighty-seven per cent
of the cases treated and we were enthusi-
astic in the belief that this percentage of
all cases Of Brights Disease and Dia-
betes could recover But these tests did
not include any cases of Diabetes in chill
dren, and a half dozen recent failures
compel the writer to say that he does
not believe that it is specific for Diabetes
in children One physician announces the
recovery of a case of Diabetes in a child
thirteen years old, but her death a few
months later (although attributed to an
inherited intermittent heart by the same
physfcian) causes great doubts in our
minds as to the character of the recovery.
And we make this plain statement, that
we feel Is due to every father and mother
who has child With Diabetes, for we do
not want to be put in the position of Civ
ing hope TO parents who have little ones
stricken with this disease. If the writer
had child with Diabetes he would put
It on the Diabetes Compound simply be-
cause it helps these cases for a while
and he knows OF nothing else that does
but he would call in the best doctor OBJ
tainabIe to attempt to keep the acetones
down, in the hope that it would be one of
the exceptions that would recover yet
with small confidence to the outcome
Diabetes in children is rare, and our OBJ
servation has been limited to but few
cases. Nearly all made distinct progress
the first few months. but later the Com
pound seemed unable to arrest the dis
ease While we have had word of two or
three recoveries, they lack confirmation
and not satisfactory. Hence it al
ways distresses us to receive letter
from a parent. who. upon hearing of this
discovery, writes full of hope, asking for
details. for we are compelled to write as
above in all cases that involves Diabetes
in children
In Diabetes in forty and over results
are almost. certain. nearly nine-tenths re-
covering. and at 50 and over, where there
are not complications. the failures are
rare.
In Bright's Disease all ages yield frog
infancy to old age in nearly nine-tenths
of all cases.
