IN THE LABOR WORLD

Not even judge nor his sentence can
put a stigma upon my colleagues or my
self or make criminals of us
The foregoing statement was made with
marked emphasis by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation, In
an address. while he was a guest of
the Indian Club of Baltimore at an oyster
roast at Acme Pleasure Shore on Bear
creek. 1t was the first time Mr.. Gompers
has discussed in public the sentence of
one year in jail imposed upon him by
Judge Wright. Continuing he said the
sentence was unjust, and added:
THE injustice of it is shown by the
fact that the very things we are forbid
den to do every other citizen has the
right to do and it is this that we are
protesting against.
Despite the reputed return of good
times and the increase in the various
industries of the country. there are yet
thousands of men unemployed, and capt.
tai was ever trying to force labor to
the wall In order to overcome this state
of affairs the injustice which has been
done us, and assert our rights as free
speaking citizens. labor must organize
more thoroughly. This is the only way
In which we can accomplish those things
for which We are fghting.'
At one stage of President Gompers
speech he remarked upon the presence Of
three photographers, who. he said. had
been photograpling them in all manner
of positions and poses. This" he said
may be bad omen-you never can tell
They may be secret service men'-Which
brought forth a spontaneous burst of
applause from his hearers
James Duncan, first vice president OF
the federation. followed Mr. Gompers.
and made a short audress. He spoke of
Judge Wright's sentence and asked the
question as to whether not it was in
justice to allow other people to say things
that President Gompers and other MEM
bers of the executive committee were pro-
hibited from saying. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Duncans address Max Herzog,
one of the hosts, asked those present to
adopt resolution boycotting prison
stripes unless they bear the union label
This resolution was adopted with up
roarious applause.

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience of a physician from sickness and when needing nour- ishment the worst way is valuable:
 An attack of grip, so severe it came near making an end of me, left my stomach in such condition I could not retain any ordinary food. I knew of course that I must have food nourish- ment or l could never recover.
 'I began to take four tablespoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream three times a day and for weeks this was almost my only food; it tasted so delicious that I enjoyed it immensely and my stomach handled it perfectly from the first mouthful. It was so nourishing I was quickly built back to normal health and strength.
 "Grape-Nuts is of great value as food to sustain life during serious at tacks in which the stomach is so de ranged it cannot digest and assimilate other foods.
 T am convinced that were Grape Nuts more widely used by physicians, it would save many lives that are oth- erwise lost from lack of nourishment.'
 Absolutely the most perfect food in the world. Trial of Grape-Nuts 10 days proves. There's Reason"

Some of the departments of it's work are: Prison-gate and Rescue, Inebriates' homes, Boys and Girls homes, Farm colonies, Emigration, Naval and Military homes, Maternity homes nursing, Samaritan brigades, hospital and benevolent visitation. po- lice court work and Indian school training
 No other religious organization in the worlds history hrs branched out into so many departments of philan- thropic effort and absorbed them as part of it's religious duties.
 Need of Trained Workers.
 The scheme for a University of Hu manity grew naturally out of the de velopment of the 20 other depart- menta. With a field as wide as the world itself the work of the Salvation Army is only limited by the number of workers that can be secured and it's effectiveness by the understanding and earnestness of these workers. As uplift work has grown from local eff forts to help a few into a great i'm elusive movement which must miss none, the problems of organization have grown greater. Charity has he come science and it's application an art requiring the highest development of personal qualities of insight and altruism. There is thus pressing need for workers of quite exceptional qual- ification. These qualifications must first of all be inherent and must then be developed by experience and sne- cial training.
 This is the new work planned by Gen. Booth. Those women. for in stance, who are to go among the slums of the big cities must not only have the desire to help but must know how real helpfulness can best be se- cured. They must understand by a study of practical sociology some thing of the social forces that create this poverty and crime and wretched- ness. They must understand tho dan. l ger of the unwise charity that merely 1 increases dependence and understand 1 the value of better living conditions 1 in raising the moral courage of those to whom fate has been unkind. They must be able not only to correct home conditions themselves but to impart their knowledge and to inspire witt desire for betterment.
 Value of the Organization.
 This will be but small part of the uuiversity's training in social service as planned by the patriarchal evangel ist. but 1t serves to show of what value such an organization will be.
 Of the generals plan for the uni vergity he himself said recently: e want to train men and women to dea with misfortune. I want them in structed to combat with the weak nesaes and sins of the drunkard. tho criminal. the pauper and the would be suicide"

 Not Personal.

After dinner the other evening MT. and Mrs. Brown started to speak of theT respective duties, and soon an argument as to whether the husband or the wife had the hardest work to perform was in full swing. First Brown warbled, and then wifey sang.
 "A wife" argued the good lady, has to cook, wash dishes, clothe the kids, scrub the floors, sweep the house, make the beds, build the fires, carry up coal, nail slats on the back fence, dig"
 'Is that all?" sarcastically inter- rupted MT Brown.
 "No," was the prompt rejoinder of Mrs. Brown. "In addition to those du- ties every wife has to keep her hus- band from making a fool of himself?" Philadelphia Telegraph.

Artificial Wants.

About two years ago I was troubled with my head being scaly.

I started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever l had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush it off my coat by the handful. l was afraid to comb it. But after using two cakes of Cuti- cura Soap and nearly a box of Cuti- cura Ointment, the change was sur prising.

 In a disused burial ground on Mile End road he pitched an old tent and the first Salvationist meeting was held in that tent in 1861. The fiery eloquence of the earnest young preacher caught the attention of crowd of poor Whiteehapelers and be- lore that first meeting was over he had made several conversions, a per, formance that he aas been repeating throughout the world for 47 years.
 How He Started the Army.
 This first meeting resulted in the formation of the Christian mission, from which it was the evangelist's $ custom to send his converts to the ex- isJing churches of the locality, but finding that they were not welcomed and were in danger Of slipping back from sheer want of comradeship and oversight. he set about forming so- cieties of the converted. These he found to be a potent agency for bring ing in more, as the needless Easi ender could be impressed by the words of q former pal when he would not listen to a minister. Sc was created the central idea of the Salvation Army.
 The need of organization becomes apparent, but several methods were tried with little success before Gen Booth hit upon the military idea and named his organization the Salvation Army From that time on the move ment grew amazingly and it has con tinued to grow without ceasing to this day
