The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1909-02-13

I woke next morning with feeling that some
thing disagreeabde had happened and then re-
membered what it 1t that to
have practically breakfast Instead of the pot
of steaming coffee, there the table set with
more raw eggs, cheese and great big pile of ap-
pies, which looked insultingly round and red They
were fanked by cold, unfriendly pitcher of milk.
The cook is long, lean, lachrymose creature,
who has seen better days, and she moved around
the room grooming things to herself II never seen
the hke-they're crazy!'
1t not cheerful manner of beginning the
day.
Nobody knows how great a part food plays in
their lives until they haven't any. AS the days
followed one another, with their horrid process
sion of raw things, I found myself thinking of
meals I had eaten. dreamed of shortcake at
night. IT you've tried it, you can't know how
desolate it is to sit down at table and see moth
ing but cheese and fruit-never anything good and
hot, never anything before you that you want to
eat, and yet to be SO hungry that you could eat
anything at all. Besides it was very bad for my
art.
Now that it's over I'm glad have been through
It, Because it taught me great many things Ever
since then I've been able to understand history
better, because I know how fanatics act and the
curious strength that they have to buoy them up,

felt years younger, and called attention to
how much better we all were looking, and especial
ly Uncle Scion; and really he did seem to suffer
very much less.

news to her with: T., :.

Pauline dropped onto SOFA

"You don't know what it MEANS, she continued,
turning to me, when mother gets a cure for ia

food gave us hives Another time we nearly died
with eating some awful hay cereal. Another time
it was water cure, and we drank and drank until
I felt like artesian WE'LL"
Here Aunt Matilda began all over again all about
the nutritious quality of food while Pauline
fixed her hair in the glass. She has great guam
tity of hair all her own, and she fixes it it looks
like the hair you buy and pin on.
Finally she said: : S.:
'Well mother, it seems to spell empty stomach

At this Gladys broke forth Indignantly.

Arizona republican., 1909-08-26

He has spent the last two years in Kansas. where he picked up some in formation which may be valuable to him and the other farmers of the Salt River valley. regarding the manufac- ture of alfalfa meal. That has become a great industry in many parts of Kan sas and the meal has an extensive. and growing sale throughout the east, where it is used for all kinds of feeding purposes: The meal not only brings out all the sustance in the alfalfa, but includes all of the alfalfa, much of 'which is lost in the ordinary process of feeding.
 Mir. Gulley believes that the meal, which could be made in this country, would be far superior to the Kansas meal, which is frequently yellow. The green is more highly prized by pur- chasers. The manufacture of alfalfa meal is an industry which does not re- quire great deal of capital as a plant can be installed at an expenditure of from $10,0O0 to $15,0O0.

MOTOR CARS TO WINKLEMAN
Made Their First Long Run Through Mesa Yesterday Morning on
 Regular Time.

The new motor cars are gradually spreading out over the country and on account of their quickness in getting over the ground they have begun to leave the impression that there are at least a half dozen of them in commis- sion when in reality there are but two. The trailers were put on yesterday and the initial run made to Winkleman over the P. x F. The cars were crowded on the regular run until Mesa was reached, and many were compelled to stand. The general opinion seems to be that the new cars are about right and that they will be particularly fine during the winter months. The trailer, which was used on the Winkleman run yesterday was complaining of a hot box, as it passed through here and a little time was spent in trying to get it cooled down. The run, however, was made on regu- lar time.

MT. Trahea Relieves the Ennui of Mesa
 Ladies.

Wm. J. Trahea, the well known con- tractor, is suffering with a badly sprained neck as a result of a little at tempt at an amateur entertainment given at the Montgomery house re- gently. It is understood that the young ladies of the place complained that there was nothing particularly eXcit- ing in this old town and one of them expressed a wish that something would turn up. Mr. Trahea, who, above ev- erything else, is polite to the ladies, volunteered to performed a stunt a little out of his line, but nevertheless out of the ordinary enough to be eX- citing. He proposed to stand on his head. He had often been on his ear and did not think there would be any more danger in getting on his head and walking around on the floor in the up side down position. No sooner had he thought of the plan to create the eX- citement than he began making the at tempt. He succeeded in getting the proper position, but he had given too much impetus in the start and before he realized it he had passed the per

NEW USE FUR
 NHEELBARR0W5

Mrs. Zella Nuttan, the archaeologlst was making some excavations in Mex leo. The Indians were removing tho earth some distance from the point of excavation in the customary manner that is, on a piece of coarse cloth tied between two poles, stretcher fashion, carried by two Indians This method seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut tall. SO she ordered several iroa wheel barrows from the city. When they arrived she turned them over to the foreman after explaining to him what they were for and how to use them.
 Next day when she visited the work the Indians had discarded their priml- tive parihuelas and were using the bright new wheelbarrows. As each barrow was filled with earth it was picked up by two Indians, one using the handles and the other the wheel, and carried to the place where the earth was to be deposited All efforts to get the Indians to use the wheel barrows properly failed, and they kept on carrying them until the work was finished

WHEN THE SUN
 GROWS G0LD

pr. Eridjor Nansen predicts the fate of the earth in the far distant future, when Che sun grows cold. The sim pie, low organisms, he says. will prob ably live longest until even they dis appear. Finally, be says. all water on the earth's surface will freeze and the oceans will be transformed into ice to the bottom. Some time later the car bonic acid of the atmosphere will be- gin to fall on the surface of the earth lp the form of snow. Some time after that the temperature on the surface will have reached about 3SO degrees below zero F. New oceans will then be formed by the atmosphere being turned into liquid, and the atmosphere of that future earth will be only hy- drogcu and helium. The sun will go through the same process. It will con tlnue in its way as a dark star through space, accompanied by the planets.

me Kev. simon Iurpie was an elo- uuent speaker, but he seemed to have a list of sermons which, when he once began. he went right through to the end and then started at the first ser mon again. and so on.
 A young man in the congregation was about to leave for South Africa, but the Sunday before he departed he attended the church service.
 In the course of his lecture the min. lster used an Illustration In which were the words, "A man can easily purchase two sparrows for threepence."
 The young man, after being absent for about three years, returned and again on the first opportunity attended divine service. Strange to say, he heard the same narrative by the same minister. the phrase striking him most being about the two sparrows for threepence."
 At the close of the service the min lster, in his courtesy, came and shook hands with the youth and, welcoming him back to hls home, asked him if he noticed any changes about the place.
 The young man, evidently quite un' concerned, replied, Aye, man, there's two or three changes, but there's yin thing I can see-the price O sparrows Is ave at the same auld fgger."-Glas, gow News.

SHELTER FOR
 LIVE STOCK

Every i've stock farmer should pro vide comfortable quarters for hIs stock before colt weather sets in, says Farmers Advocate. Good quarters where live stock can keep dry through the winter storms are necessary. Good shelter saves feed, and feed necessarily saves money Comfortable quarters should not only be provided for the winter months, It is just as necessary for cattle and other live stock to have a cool place for summer as warm place for winter. The proper housing of live stock is matter which should receive the attention of every farmer, It is not extravagant to Invest money ln these things; neither is 1t necessary that the buildings should be of costly material. When animals are kept un' der conditions favorable to them the best results are obtainable.
