Canning Bees Held.

In order to secure the gallons and
gallons of canned edibles it was nee
essary to have numerous canning
bees. Forty or more women inmates
of the hospital would prepare apples
all morning and the kitchen help
would cook them all afternoon. The
sight of 40 women slicing apples at
one time is one that seldom is seen
outside of a canning factory-or a
state hospital evidently.
One of the officials at the institu-
ton had something to say regarding
the prolific yield of beans. Some
days they would pick them in such
great numbers as to make me think
I had never seen so many beans be
fore" he exclaimed. The inmates
were picking string beans as late as
the middle of October and the esti-
mate is that $50 barrels of beans
went to waste for want of harvesters.
Some of the canned goods were
prepared in bulk, others were put up
in tin cans The sauer kreut was
prepared in barrels. There are bar
rels and barrels of cucumber pickles,
enough to turn the teeth of the most
rabid small boy on edge.

MEN IN WALKOUT
Laborers at Argillo Plant Re
fuse to Accept Reduction
in Their Wages.
CUT OF TWO CENTS AN HOUR
Officer Declares Concern Can't Pay
More Than Competitions
Hopes of Settlement.

A walkout at the Argillo works at
Carbon Cliff occurred yesterday fol-
lowing announcement by the manage
ment of a wage reduction OF cents
an hour. Thirty-five Iaborers, the ma
jority residents of Carbon Cliff, quit.
A number of the workmen remained
in the cOmpany's employ, however, and
the management anticipates peaceful
termination of the present trouble
within a few days The 9 cents an hour
reduction means a reduction Of from
50 10 $3.50 in the wage for 10-hour
day.
Secretary Fred Titterington of the
Argillo works made this statement:
There is no strike. because there is
no i'll feeling on either side The men
walked out pending the outcome Of
negotiations with the company, their
claim being that the high cost of liv-
ing makes it impossible for them to
live on $3.50 per day On the other
hand, the company cannot pay more
without losing money. Up to last
spring the wage paid at the works had
always been Is cents an hour, but dur
ing Improvements and alterations made
at the plant during the summer. We
paid 90 cents an hour. the understand
ing being that the 1S-ccnt wage would
again be resorted 10 this fall.

INDIGESTION GOES.

Harper House Pharmacy Sells Pre-
scription on the Money Back Plan.
Almost everybody knows that sick
headache, nervousness and dizziness,
are caused by a disordered stomach.
Upset stomach and indigestion
happen just because the food you
eat does not digest-but lies in the
stomach and ferments or turns sour.
You can stop fermentation and
stomach distress in five minutes by
using MI-O-NA stomach tablets, a
prescription that has done more to
cure indigestion and put the stomach
in fine condition than all the spe-
cialists on earth.
A large so cent box of MI-O-NA
stomach tablets is all you need to get
quick ard lasting relief. The Harper
House pharmacy guarantees them.
Mrs. Attic Etson, of SO Dun Road,
Battle Creek, Mich, used MONA
and within two months was in as
good health as ever, and has good
strong stomach. and eats anything
she likes. She attributes her good
health to MI-O-NA.
