Taking Care of Yourself.

There never was time when peo-
pie paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result Of properly balanced ra-
tions has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind.
It has been found that Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten often and regularly
taking, the place of heavy. greasy
foods will work wonders in thezhealth
and strength of family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Scotch Oats thrive physically
and are always capable of the best
work at school. For athletes, laborers,
it is the best food. 10

WHY We OPPOSE INJuNCTIoNs

Labor injunctons will be Of the during the

Here few points that will floor any defender
of labor injunctions:
From the foundation of our government, injunctons
have been recognized for the protection property
ton 917 of the United States Revised Statutes empowers
the con to prescribe rules for it's application
Rule 3d. promulgated 1885, provides that special nunc

Labor inunctions capitaistc applications of JUS

The labor injunction invented by Alex Smith,
torney for the Ann Arbor railway in the strike of 1894
It was applied by Federal Judge Taft who committed
Frank Phelan to jail for six months and since then
ly every court has granted these writs on demand.
Labor inunctions not authorized recognized by
any legislature.
Labor injunctions deny workers trial by jmy-a
right accorded the meanest criminal
Labor inunctions outlaw acts committed at strike
times but legal at all other times
Labor injunctions empower the court law
maker, judge and executioner
Labor njunctions class workers as property
Labor innctions make distinction between proper
ty rights and personal rights.
Labor injunctons rest the theory that when &C
ton by workers Injuries property fundamental personal
rights can he enjoined
Labor injunctons protect dollars free
Labor njunctons disregard wrongs of workers in
desire to protect gold.
Labor injunctions issued the sole afddavits of
men who place spies in unions.

Labor injunctons still the voice of protest against

Labor injunctions differ from injuncons the pro-
