LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was
supposed TO require meat two or
three times day. Science has found
out differently.
IL IS now common thing for the
family physician to order less meat.
as in the following letter from a N.
Y. man:
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physi-
clan advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. tried sew
eral things to take the place of nv
usual breakfast of chops, fried pota-
toes, etc, but got no relief until
tried Grape-Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for tha
cereal part of my meals for two
years, am now a we'll man. Grane-
Nuts benefited my health far more
than the $4,000 worth of medicine
had taken before.
My wife and children are health
Ter than they had been for years. and
we are very happy family, largely
due to Grape-Nuts.
We have been SO much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that it would be nm
grateful not to acknowledge it.

Former Warden John M. Fox is au-
thority for the statement that a ma
jority of the men imprisoned in the
Workhouse - probably seventy-fve
per cent.-would never have been
there could they have found employ
ment In this connection one magis-
trate said:
my experience is that there is
more distress among the worthy poor
now than at any time in the last
twelve years. / have committed,
chiefly at their own request, more de-
cent men this winter than have sent
there before in any five years of my
term as magistrate"
Distress Among Women.
Mary E. Dreier, president of the
Women's Trade Union League, said:
This year the distress among
women workers has been greater than
ever before 1t is pitiful. The saw
ings of years have been exhausted,
and to this misfortune is added
woman's constant dread of sickness.
Others constantly fear being thrown
out of work, and this is too often the
case. Manufacturers do not now lay
in a large stock which will keep these
women busy. They fill orders on
short notice. They want fifty girls at
once The girls complete the order
in two days, and are then dismissed.
This is true in all branches of gar
ment trades. This high tension is
making the women of New York ply
steal and nervous wrecks. 1t is a
most deplorable condition of affairs"
! Frank Julian Warne, whose efforts
for a bill now pending in Albany,
creating a commission to inquire into
the causes and effects of the unem-
ployed in New York State, and to sug-
gest remedies, are meeting with gem
eral appreciation from all organiZa-
tions, said:
mot wishing to be sensational, but
as truthful as possible in our limited
way of getting accurate figures on
present industrial conditions, it is alb
solutely fair to say that more than
100000 men are looking for work in
New York City alone.
Crowded to the Roofs.
Look at any city institution to-day
where the INDECENT get aid. They are
crowded to the roofs-the city can't
care for more. The hospitals are
filled and so are the insane asylums.
Where will New York place her I'M
fortunates in another year if the pres
emit ratio of unemployed keeps up?
1t is a terrible question to face.
when a city's wardens turn out
1900 prisoners before their terms
have expired to make room for incom-
ing crowds, you may imagine what
demands are made on the city's insti-
tutions'
Professor John Bates, of Columbia
University in Suggesting remedy
for the economic ill, says:
Loss of employment by large bod
les of men personally fit is due to
mal-adjustment, since there is never
a time when there is not within the
limits of society to which these men
belong need OF their labor and a
chance to dispose of it's produce. The
trouble would now be relieved by
migration from populous centres to
the country"
Percy Alden, NJ p, in 1.-THE I'm
employed" says: There is a rapidly
growing feeling that the community
has a responsibility for the unem-
ployed and must discharge that re-
sponsibility, not by inficting pains
and penalties upon the genuine work
er but by enabling himto find work.

New York City.-Suppose a parade
of the unemployed in Greater New
York should start from the Battery
to-day. How far uptown do you sup
pose it's van would extend before the
last man wheeled into line? The an
swer vouched for by the noted charity
labor workers of New York gives
Central Park at least unanimously,
or distance of about six miles.
Herman Robinson, general organ
izer of the American Federation of
Labor, states that at least forty per
cent. of the members of the labor
unions in New York City are unem-
ployed. The latest report of the State
Department of Labor gives the MEM
bership of labor unions in this city
as 100000. The present member
ship should be we'll above $40, 200,
but inability to pay dues has caused
more than 10000 union men to lose
their membership cards.
10000 Idle Union Men.
According to Mr. Robinson there
would then be at least 10000 union
men out of work in New York City
OF homeless men and Migrants the
number is, under ordinary conditions,
about 10000 From such meagre
facts as may be collected the total
number of New York's unemployed is
more than 100000. Imagine such a
host-enough to populate city al
most as large as Rochester.
That the cause of the astonishing
number out of work at the end of
1908 was not due to strikes or sick
ness, but rather to the depression of
business. 1t is represented by the
following table:
Idle on account Of 1908. 1907. 1906.
Lack of work .,...; 10000 eO,7l6 5,799
Sickness, accident, old

A Stupendous Army.
Never in the history of any great
municipality has such a stupendous
army of unemployed been collected
at one time, according to the eco
nomic statiscians who have com
piled the above figures. and others,
for the information of the legislators
at Albany.
The number of families applying
for assistance to the Association for
Improving the Condition of the Poor
for the last six months is fifty per
cent. more than for the corresponding
months of a year ago. In three
months, November, December and
January, 900 able-bodied men, will
ing and anxious for work, came to
this society for aid. The year pre-
vious only nineteen such requests
were received.
Savings banks in the poorer section
of the city report extraordinary
drafts in recent months. The actu-
airy of one of the largest insurance
companies says:
Raise Cash on Policies.
GAS compared with the season of
1907-190S, the loans for the season
of 190S-1909 have increased thus far
over seventy per cent, while the num-
Der of lapsed policies increased to
more than fifty per cent The above
figures speak for themselves, and
prove conclusively that the holders
of smaller policies are terribly af-
fected by the present hard times. I"
This condition is general among in
surance companies.
