secure more satisfactory terms of em- ployment. Labor unions are specifical- ly allowed to organize and to combine among themselves or to enter agree ments with employers, and similarly employers are empowered to combine among themselves to promote their own ideas of proper relations with la bor.
 In registering under this act cor porations must file their articles of in- corporation, names of members and all other information prescribed in regu- lations to be approved by the presi- dent; shall give the names of direct ors and managers and shall set forth in detail all contracts and combina- tions they may have made with other corporations or associations. and if within thirty days this statement Is not dlsapproved by the commissioner of corporations. then no prosecution shall lie on account of any of the con tracts or combinations enumerated, but the commi toner may at any time withdraw his approval of the registry and require modification of any of the agreements that may have been made on pain of prosecution If the modified tions are not made.
 No statement of combinations or con- tracts filed by a corporation shall be disapproved unless it be in 'unrea. sonable" restraint of trade or com. merce. This is highly important. as the insertion of the word .'unreasona- bIe" utterly changes the force of the act. Under the law as now standing any combination in restraint of trade, whether reasonable or unreasonable. Is unlawful. Railroads having cor tracts or combinations in restraint of trade are to file these with the inter state commerce commission instead of with the commissioner of corporations, and the same general procedure Is ap- piled. If they are not unreasonable" " they will be legal. and no prosecution will lie oz account of them.
 The bill seems certain to be an issue of the first magnitude in the coming campaign The Democrats are going to oppose It with great vIgor. as will Senator La Toilette. and it Is expect cd several other radical Republicans will take active sides with them La bor is not at all pleased with the con oession made to it. the fact that labor unions will continue liable for dam ages caused by their actions being the basis of their dissatisfaction

 s'Is it not of the utmost importance fin order that our influence may bt felt that we should maintain navy and army commensurate with our re sources. with our coast line. with the extent of our country and our popula tion?
 "I do not say this in any jingo spirit No one hates war or the prospect oi it more than I do. But I am confident tElHI Enf VI 1NA navy America should be commensurate witf our resources and that the reorganiza tion of our army should he such as tC permit of it's speedy expansion undel stress of emergency"
 Ambassador Takahirs told his audi tors something about trade relations between Japan and the United Ststei and the world and 10 put in a goot word for the coming international ex position to be held under the auspices of the Japanese government In TOky' in 1912.

 Federal Registration of Corpora

 Washington, March 24.-The Nation al Civic federation bill, aimed to re store to labor unions their right tt strike, but leaving the boycott, picket ing and other weapons of organized labor under the ban of the law and dealing with national control of cor porations. was introduced in the house by Representative Hepburn.
 The bill was prepared by the fedora. ton after conference with the prest dent and representatives of capital and labor. It is designed to relieve the stringency of the sherman antitrust law and the suppressive effects of the recent supreme court decisions. It is the first formal step toward carrying out the presidents programme of leg. islation.
 Defeated in his efforts to get from the administration the legislation de manded by labor. President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor will turn his attention to congress and sndeavor to have that body amend the bill along lines that he will suggest. Pending the outcome of these efforts he will prepare his plans for a fight at the polls. It Is believed that another address to organized workingmen will be shortly issued by Mir. GOmpers-

BOY MAKE MONEY.
Set Up a Lemonade Stand That Proved
Profitable.

An energetic boy of IA years of age
decided to try his luck at making
some pocket money during the sum-
mer vacation. and this was his plan,
which, l must add, proved to be a
very good one, for during the first
weeks trial he cleared about SO.
AT the i%uncture of two popular
street car lines, where the travel was
extensive and constant all day long,
the boy took up his stand. A large
umbrella formed his establishment and
a little empty goods box, turned bot
tom side up, was his counter. On
this counter stood his stock in trade.
namely, a large wooden pail full of ice
water, neatly covered by a towel,
several tightly corked large-mouthed
bottles and a half dozen drinking
glasses. Also, behind the counter,
resting on the ground, was another
large pail of water from which he kept
the drinking glasses cleansed.
Now, il was the contents of the bot
ties that furnished the most appetiz-
ing and refreshing, as well as whole
some, drink to passengers transfer
ring from one street car line to the
other. In these bottles was the fol-
lowing mixture: To one pound of
granulated sugar had been added 80
drops of essence of lemon; 2R

The Dou.

The dog is mans most faithful
friend. A man may lie, but a dog
won't; a man may get drunk, a man
may SANDER his neighbor, a man may
embezzle and defraud, a man may
borrow money. a man may steal
money, a man may go into politics. a
man may knife his best friend. a man
may run people down with an automo-
bile. a man may gamble himself TO
ruin. a man may waste his substance
in riotous living, a man may go TO
heaven-but "a dog won't. Can these
things be truthfully spoken Of the
other friends man has about him?
asks Success Magazine. There is a
strong affinity between man and the
dog; IL must be the affinity of con
trast. Yet any man will resent being
called a dog. Possibly the dog would
resent being called a man if he IN
derstood-I do not know. / only know
hat the maxim works but one way;
and If we should say, Man is the
dogs most faithful friend" there
would be many to cavil, saying that it
was mighty rough on the dog.

EYESlGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-Baby's Head
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all n sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went On until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tors care. but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was sevan months old I started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months cur baby was a different
girl. You could not see a sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had a sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,

An Artists Generosity.

The famous painter Corot and his
sister were joint M of some
house property in the Faubourg Pois-
s%onniere. One day one of the tenants
"a tailor-came to Corot and said he
could not pay his rent.
What can | do for your asked
Corot. II cannot intercede for you
with my sister, because l am not on
good terms with my family CAS- a
matter of fact, Corot was regarded as
a failure" by his family.) How
ever" he added, here is the money
to pay the rent, only don't let anyone
know ! have given it to you"
The tailor after this used to return
periodically when his rent was due and
obtain the money from Corot, who re-
marked on one occasion, Il appear to
be very generous, but / am not, be-
cause / get half of it back from my
sister as my share of the rent"

TO IMALS.
A Plea for Better Treatment of the
Brute Creation.

II is absolutely in~conceivable that
man is not ashamed to abuse innocent
animals az he does-as if all nature
belonged to him, and as If he were not
a guest, by sufferance, upon the earth.
upon which he cannot remain, and of
which he cannot say that it belongs
to him and that he can do what he
pleases with il. And if man really
imagines that he is the lord of the
creation-which he, nevertheless, has
neither designed nor made, and in
which he can neither better nor alter
a tremendous responsibility toward
his interiors and must, perhaps, some
time give an account Of the way in
which he has treated these animals,
writes Carmen Sylvia, in the Century.
If eternal retributian is a reality, if we
are responsible, what shall we then
suffer for the way in which We have
treated Gods creatures! No animal
is bad-only hungry; man first teaches
him to be vindictive when he has ex-
hausted his patience. But how long an
animal suffers with patience before he
takes revenge! How long a dog or a
cat will let itself be tormented by
children, without defending itself, and
yet how savagely it can bite and
scratch. How well it could defend
itself if it were not better and more
patient than its small tormentors!
And so it is cowardly for children to
torture animals. They know that the
animals are good and do what they
please. Shame on them!

"THE PALE GIRL
Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause,

In cold weather some people think
a cup of hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is-fcr a short time but
the drug-caffeine-acts on the heart
to weaken the circulation and the re-
action is to cause more chilliness.
There is a hot wholesome drink
which a Oak. girl found after a time,
makes the blood war1a and the heart
strong.
She says:
Having lived for five years in N.
OAK, l have used considerable coffee
owing to the cold climate. AS a re-
suit / had a dull headache regularly,
suffered from indigestion, and had no
life in me.
Il was known as the pale GIRL and
people thought / was just weakly.
After a time / had heart trouble and
became very nervous, knew
what it was to be real well. Took med
icine but it never seemed to do any
good.
"Since being married my husband
and I both have thought coffee was
harming us and we would quit, only to
begin again, although we felt it was
the same as poison to us.
Then we got some Postum. Well,
the effect vas really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now, headache
gone, and / have a great deal of en-
ergy had never known while drink
ing coffee.
I haven't been troubled with indi-
gestion since using Postum, am not
nervous, and need no medicine. We
have a little girl and boy who both
love Postum and thrive on it and

So Much Alike.

A curious story went the rounds
some little time ago about a lovely
foreigner, n of whose verbal slips
gave King Edward occasion for a
hearty laugh. A very lively person
age, with a delightful accent, she
made such a favorable impression
upon the king that he asked her to be
his partner at bridge. But, sir" she
said, Il really don't know how to
play" The king would take no de-
NAL, however, and she became rather
embarrassed. Il assure you, sir" she
said, Il don't know the difference be-
tween a king and a knave." There was
an awkward silence, and then she real
lied what she had said, and was COW
cred with confusion. The king, of
course, laughed it off, and now tells
the story with gusto.
