Every time there is a strike of

men, the press and the public are
jumping all over the strikers be.

truly remarks the Labor Herald
If man makes more money he
will spend more and the merchants
will get the benefit of this. If
wages are lowered the men must
cut their expenses and the mer

But If good wages are maintained
the whole community is prosperous
and it Spreads all over the country

The greedinesS of manufacturers

FOE OF THE
HUMAN RACE

The most prominent tuberculosis
alcohol will not cure consumption.
DR.. S. A. Knopf says: "Alcohol
has never cured and never will
cure tuberculosis. 1t will either
prevent or retard recovery DR..
Frank Billings of Chicago and DR..
Vincent Y. Bowditch, ex-presi-
dents of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis; DR.. Lawrence F.
Flick of Philadelphia, and DR..
Edward l.. Trudeau of Saranac
Lake, the founder of the anti
tuberculosis movement in this
country, are all of the same opinion.
1t was stated by DR.. William G.
White of Pittsburg at the recent
meeting of the National Assuci-
alton for the Study and Proven
ton of Tuberculosis, that 80 per
cent. of all the school children in
our large cities have tubercle
bacilli in their system before reach
ing the age of nineteen years.
That tuberculosis is no respecter
of persons is evidenced by the
recent death of the two boy princes
of Montenegro from that disease,
which they contracted from a
maid in their nursery.
There are constantly 5000, 900
persons seriously i'll in the United
States, of whom more than 600, 900
are consumptivcs. More than half
of this illness is preventable.
Consumption is caused by the
poisonous germs in the cOnSump-
tive's spit. The poisonous spit
dries and goes as dust into other
peoples lungs. a little poisonous
spit when scattered in dust, is
enough to infect dozens of people.
That is why careless splitting is not
only dirty but dangerous.
The number of deaths during the
four years of the Civil War was
2O5, O7O. During the past four
years 100000 deaths have resulted
from tuberculosis alone in the
United States.

she was gone on this, one Of her many
deeds of mercy.
Alone, Miss Emily entered the room
and went to the window, where she
could watch her sisters tall form
through the fast deepening darkness.
A iamplighter came by as she stood
there and lighted the lamp in the
street below, just in front of the win
dow AS she moved from the window
the audacious CLEAN of light pene-
trated past her, falling directly on the
opened box of keepsakes.
Dreamily, yet half startled, Miss
Emily moved toward them. She knew
we'll enough what they were-the
package of letters tied with q narrow
black ribbon We're Andrew Arnold's
letters of love to Rachel; the little box
beside them held a well known tur-
quoise ring, but the picture that lay
on top, surely she might see that again
after all these many years.
Half guilty she lifted 1t and held it
in the light, eagerly scanning the face
Then, with little sob, she sank on
her knees, the picture still clasped in
her hand, her hidden face resting on
her arms.
Silently thus the minutes passed, vet
Miss Emily took no heed. And so
Miss Rachel, coming home to n dark
ened, unlocked house, found her a lit
tie later.
For moment she stood in the door
way, lost in wonder at her sisters still
form in the lamplight: then she nd
vanced swiftly to her side.
Emily" she said-"Emily, dear, are
you ill?'
Miss Emily sprang to her feet as If
suddenly walked from dream One
hand still held the photograph but
after an instant she dropped it on the
desk. and. clasping her hands, she
cried in low. passionate voce-a new
voice to Miss Rachel:
"Oh. Rachel, Rachel, forgive me.
He did not know; he never, never
dreamed it. You, you only, had his
life and all of it, and. OH could not
help it! Surely have suffered enough,
and 1 never, never meant to wrong
YOU"
Miss Rachel stood so still she might
have been carved of stone, too terribly
beWildercd for the simplest form Of
thought But her sister went on with
her passionate pleading.
Cant you forgive me, Rachel when
he never, never XII ew ana you had all
his love-"
Miss Rachers voice tscGjLlsl.
But Steve-StCphea e1cxfJsE"
lie caught my girlish fancy, Rachel.
But when 1 found out how 1 felt
about-your Andrcw-I sent Steve
away. And the next week Andrew
died so suddenly-his heart all yours
to the last. Oh, Rachel, sister, you
cannot forgive me, I know! 1 will go
away-alonc!'
flush, child" said Miss Rachel
sternly. II have nothing to forgive
You are the greater sufferer, as 70
have always been. But go away 70
awhile I want to be alone"
Next morning the sun had scarcely
dried the radiant dew when Miss
Rachel opened an unused gate and
went over to her neighbours In her
hand she held the tiny package of seed
she had placed last night on her desk
Next year two rows of sunhowers
nodded across the fence-the same low
picket fence-not by any means six
feet high.

AVIATION WEEK PLANS
INDORSED BY COUNCIL

Dick Ferris second attempt to get
the Endorsement of the city council for
Aviation week" was successful When
he presented the matter to the council
Yesterday and made it clear to It what
he wanted the council was quick to
order a resolution drawn giving official
sanction to Ferris plans for a world
songress of flying men and machines.
Last week Ferris sent a letter to the
council giving his plans in detail and
asking that body to indorse them. But
the council "shied" at the proposition
because it looked to it like a hidden
demand for money to finance the
project Acting under this delusion,
the council filed the communication.
Ferris yesterday told the council he
did not want money from the city or
any other body, that he intended to
organize a stock company and sell
shares at 81 each, two tickets to be in
cluded With each share. He declared
it was necessary to raise between
500 O00 and S150,000 for the project, and
that ii would be of national and inter
national interest. He plans to have the
Wright brothers. Curtiss, the Lam
berts ana others who are most In the
public eye They will hold an interna-
tional convention and demonstrate
their machines, and it is expected to be
a drawing card that will bring visitors
from all over the world. Aviation
week is to be in January.

COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE
ELIMINATING SPITE FENCES
Will Be a Misdemeanor to Erect a
Barrier More Than Six Feet
High

BY an ordinance passed by the city
council yesterday spite fences are elm
mated from the Los Angeles landscape.
1t will hereafter be a misdemeahor to
erect fence of more than six feet
high without a permit from the build
ing department and fences of more
than six feet can only be built around
such places as amusement parks.
Those fences of more than six feet
that have already been erected will
have to be cut down to the required
heighth.
When the ordinance was before the
council yesterday some objection was
made to it on the ground that it might
not be constitutional TO limit the
height of fences, but Deputy City At
torney Wilson, who prepared the or
dinance, declared that he believed il
was valid and would be sustained by
the courts.
There are several of these unsightiy
fences in Los Angeles, one on Beaudry
avenue being eighteen feet high,

COMMISSION AUTHORIZED
TO CLOSE BAND CONTRACT
Sixty Concerts to Be Given by the
Organization in Next Eight
Months

The municipal music commission was
authorized by the council yesterday to
enter into contracts with Harley Ham
ilton and II. p. Moore to furnish music
in the city parks and Fairgrounds.
The contract with Hamilton will call
for sixty concerts to be given in the
next eight months by band of thir-
ty-five pieces to be selected by Mr..
Hamilton and to be known as the Mu-
nicipal band. 1t is planned to give the
first concert either next Thursday or
Sunday afternoon. Moore is to furnish
thirteen concerts with band of twen-
ty pieces in the Fairgrounds.
OF the $4,000 appropriated by the
council for the band, Hamilton's or
ganization will receive $4,000 and
More's $1,000. Councilman Healy de-
clared yesterday that $4,000 was not
enough. that the council should set
aside 100000 for the Municipal band.
and the other members of the council
agreed with him that more money
would be set aside next year If the ex-
pertinent proved successful.

SITE FOR NEW DAIRY
FARM NEAR PRESCOTT

Prescott, Ariz., Dee. S.-Formal
ratification of the lease of the city's
lands at Del Rio to Fred Harvey, who
will establish a dairy farm there. was
the important feature of the council
proceedings last evening. The lease
as submitted by Paul Burks, attorney
for the Fred Harvey corporation, was
thoroughly examined by Mayor Gold
water and other councilmen and after
some changes were made the mayor
and clerk were authorized to sign the
document. 1t provides for a lease of
ten years from January l, 1910, at a
rental of $4,000 Tor the period, and
the city reserves the right to use all
of the water it may require for mu-
nicipal or other purposes. Harvey

the end of five years. At the eXpira-
ton of the lease Harvey is permitted
to remove all of the improvements,
except the fences, which he may place
upon the land.
