We are very sorry to note that troub-
lie is again in existance at Dunlap over
the union question, as correspondent
writes, and that several have been dis
charged for harboring Pat Cary, vice
president of the U. NJ. w. of A, in
District 10, under the supposition that
he came to reorganize the union at
Dunlap, which once existed at that
place We trust there is some other
reason behind this wholesale discharge,
than the one alleged, for we have al
ways considered the Southern Steel
Co, as friendly in its feelings towards
organized labor, and especially noted
with pleasure the frictionless manner
in which the wage scale was adopted
this year. The miners of Dunlap to-
day are largely union men, skilled and
experienced in the production of coal,
and have taken pride in working
there, feeling that their efforts were
advancing the interests Of friendly
corporation, and hence this action is
like thunder clap in clear sky.
We hope no further trouble will re-
suit, and that if mistake is made
that the men discharged will be re-
instated, union or no union.

WOMAN THE H0ME-MAKER

To the News.
To my young lady friends especially,
you and | should take every advantage
of opportunity to improve ourselves
and be models worthy of emulation.
We can make our homes paradise for
father and brother. God has endowed
us with fine sense of neatness and ex-
poets us to improve the same humid
red fold Upon us is laid the burden
for refinement and our influence must
tend to that end or our life is a sad
failure Our homemaking instinct
surpasses that of man and we can
make our home nest just as pleasant as
can be.
No woman can be happy in the full
sense of the term without home.
Her sphere is home and homemaking.
The school room, the editorial desk and
other professions do not satisfy the
female sex like the home does. Be it
ever so humble it is pleasure to share
with their husbands the burdens and
support of the home. The true woman
never pines. She means something
and does something. Oh, how we like
to look at grandmother old Irish
chain quilt, her old china cups and the
saucers she sold eggs for, the old fash
toned bedstead with its high post and
curtains All inspire us to emulation.
We like to hear those old heroines
talk and tell the stories of their girl.
hood days when grandpa came a-court-
ing We never tire. Then we love tC
prowl among grandmother books and
see what she read when girl and hear
her say, ''Child, this is a book ma
gave me, because l loved to read. "
We open it, thinking it might be al
old fashioned novel or something of the
kind. No, it is a we'll bound book Of
the Life and Times of Early Christians
and Settlers Then she goes away
down into the bottom of the old fash
toned chest and fishes out some ole
magazines, published in 1855. We lool
at them and read the stories of fiction
: in their plain, crisp style, and the per
fectly conventional love stories.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advance
ed knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period that de-
termines its duration, seems to be be-
tween so and Go; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Nature s
best helper after so is Electric Bitters,

talizes every organ of the body. Guar
