TO BE HAPPY.

For the Register
Ny friend, what are you making
of life: are you looking upon this
globe of ours as place merely for
rest and pleasure, where you may
sit on the soft yeiyety seat of luxury
and be cooled by the mild evening
zephyrs from the west, while your
fellow-man though some misfortune
ordered by divine hand, goes on
groveling in the dust. Alas! my
friend, the more | travel over this
vast universe of ours, the greater
need see for more good samaritans,
is it no true, are we not wasting
golden opportunities that will never
return: 1t may be only kindly
word, or sunny smile to give, but
0 what JOY it may bring to the life
that seemingly one raw of sunshine
has never frightened, then let US use
the words of Abe Lincoln when he
said pluck thistle and plant a
flower wherever one might grow. !"
There is only one way to be really
happy and that is by trying first to
make others happy.

practice and kind temper, and a
strong sense of duty, one may from
the habit of talking every day at
home in the tones one uses when
company comes.
You often hear boys and girls say
words when they are vexed, that
sound as if made up of snarl, a
whine and bark. Such a voice of
ten expresses more than the heart
feels.
Often even in mirth one gets a
voice or tone that is sharp and it
sticks to him throug!, life. Such
persons get sharp voice for home
use, and keep their best voice for
those they meet elsewhere.
We would say to all boys and
girls, Use your best voice at home. =
Watch it by day, pearl of great
price, for it will be worth more to
you than the best pearl in the sea.
a kind voice is Il lark's song to a
hearth and home. Train it 20 sweet
tones now and it will keep in tune
through life.

DAIRY PRODUCTS AS FOOD.

The products of the dairy are per-
haps the most useful articles includ-
ed in the human dict. A meal made
up of dishes into which no product of
the dairy COW enters would not be
such rs to inspire the turnpike
road to peoples hearts find lies
through their mouths, or mistake
mankind Take away the butter
for the bread, the cream for the
coffee and the porridSe, the shorten
ing ia the crust and the biscuits, the
milk in the gravy and in the pud-
dings, the cream for the dessert and
the various kinds of cheese which
please and satisfy, then take away
the milk for the little one and the
meal that would be left would be
neither tempting nor nutritious.
The health of our people depends
so much upon an adequate supply of
pure dairy products that even scar
city is always attended by suffering
and death.
Butter is sometimes referred to as
a luxury. This is a mistake. Butter
is not 4 luxury but one of the neces-
sites of life, and its composition is
such that nothing can take its place
and perform the same functions. 1t
is natures product compounded in
the maternal organism and the pro-
cess is in accordance with natures
law, law which man can initiate but
cannot understand. Man can manu-
facture from various fats and oils a
substitute for butter but it cannot
take the place of natures product be-
cause man cannot understand the
needs of the human body as nature
them.
The animal body is developed best
when nourished by foods which have
been little manipulated by man and
machinery. Dairy products are, as
a rule, consumed nearly as nature
produced them. This is particularly
true with milk upon which the grow
ing body must depend. In the case
of butter only Il small percentage of
other products are added to the fat
extracted from the milk. Man only
manipulates it in order to put it in
convenient shape for use. It can be
still termed product of nature des-
igned as only nature can design for
use as food by the human body.

Dear Editor:-As this is the time

against Wiley, but as it looks,
Hughes is loosing all along the line
and Wiley is gaining ground. Hugh
es makes more enemies by the way
he has acted in thepast. He thinks
there is no man in Cabell county fit
for postmaster and he went up in
Lincoln county and got man and
put him in as postmaster at Bar
louisville.
We have no postmaster at Lesage
as he is mail clerk on the c. & o.
R. R., and they are trying to run
one from Ohio in to take it, and the
said postmaster has his deputy to act.
Well if this don't down Hughes !

fix him. You can hear Wiley all
along the line and that is all we
want and it is not only Democrats
but Republicans. | am as good
Republican as ever walked and if
can down Jim Hughes | will do it.
There is no use for US to keep such

him and eat him, and 50 save feed

Last summer visited West vir-
ginia poultry farm where nearly two
thousand laying hens were kept, =

owner knows his business. He knows
that the rooster is needed in the
breeding pens when he wants eggs
for Matching; and he knows just as
well that the rooster is worse than
useless among the hens that are lay
ing eggs for food. There will be
just as many eggs without the roos-
ter, and there will be saving of
feed for the profitable hens.
In these days of high-priced grain,
It is worth the farmers while to con-
slider the saving that will result from

money, not for the fun of feeding
unnecessary roosters, cats and dogs.

Every one of our girls likes to be
as beautiful as she can. That is
right and proper, but she must re-
member that is not alone the smile
of the pretty face, the tint of the
delicate complexion, the Turing
glance of the eye, the beauty and
symmetry of the person, nor the
costly dress or decorations that com
pose girls loyeliness. 1t is far
more to be found in her pleasing de-
pertinent, her chaste conversation,
the sensibilty and purity of her
thoughts, her afiable and open dis
position, her sympathy with those
in adversely, her comfort and relief
to the distressed, and above all, her
zeal companionship, that constitute

What to do with bad temper.
Starve it. Give it nothing to feed
on: When something tempts you
to grow angry, do not yield to
temptation. 1t may for a minute or
two be difficult to control yourself;
but try it. Force yourself to do
nothing, to say nothing, and the
rising temper will be obliged to 90
down because it has nothing to hold
it up. The person who does and
can control tongue, hand, heart, in
face of great proyocations, is a hero.
The world may not own him or her
as such, but God does. The Bible
says, that he that ruleth his spirit
Is better than he that taketh city"
What is gained by yielding to tenn
per? For a minute there is feel
ing of relief; but soon comes a sense
of sorrow and shame, with a wish
that the temper had been controlled.
Friends are separated by bad tenn
per, trouble is caused by it, and
pain is given to others as well as to
self The pain, too, often lasts for
days, even years-sometimes for
life. An outburst of temper is like
the bursting of steam-boiler, it is
impossible to tell beforehand what
will be the result. The evil may
never be remedied. Starve your
temper. 1t is not worth keeping
alive. Starve it.

has been definitely stated that they are
quartz miners in northern California
These men are believed by the detec-
tives to have placed the dynamite that
they say destroyed the Times building.
The boat has been found at Oakland,
but the men have not been taken ipto
custody
The Times building was destroyed by
an explosion and fire at l o'clock Satur-
day morning, and 81 lives were lost, prin-
cipally in the mechanical department 1t
II not known whether it was a dynamite
or gas explosion; but during the day
bombs were alleged to have been found
at the residence of Otis and at the home
of the secretary of the Manufacturers
association.
The writer is not so narrow as to say
that the explosion could not have been
caused by dynamite being placed by
some member or members of organized
labor. for organized labor includes all
who will Join their respective organiza-
tions to honorably protect their interests
by selling their labor to the highest bid
der; and it can be easily understood
that organized labor can easily have IN
its fold some who may become infiamed
by the unwarranted, bitter and never
ceasing attacks OF the relentless Otis
and his hired men who are skilled in
the most bitter abuse that can be COM
piled from the English language.
But we do protest. and that protest
is concurred in by an thinking men, that
as soon as the fire occurred the Times
managament should at once, without the
slightest time for Investigation, place the
blame on ORGANIZED labor. If any organ
izatiou or any coterie caused this calam-
ity. they could not have devised in
century a more eGectiye way of dealing
a death blow to organized labor on the
Pacific coast
II it should be proven beyond doubt
that organized labor did this awful thing,
then organized labor must pass on for
generation before hey can ever hope to
overcome the Just criticism that Will be
meted out. But we say here. and future
evidence will show, that no officials or
respousible men in the labor movement
had any knowledge Of the terrible AFFAIR.
The reward is 50 large that an at
tempt will be made to place the blame
on someone that the $4,000. offered for

their effort and place the treasures OF

some irresponsible person or someone

caused this dreadful blow to the labor
movement
Gen. Otis. owner of the Los Angeles
Times, was arrested Tuesday on charge
of criminally libeling Andrew Gallagher,
a local labor leader. He will be given
a hearing on a habeas corpus petition.
President James NJ Lynch of the In

the following statement relative to the
explosion that wrecked the plant of the

reasoning enemy of trade unionism and

sion which wrecked its plant and with
out awaiting any investigation as to the
cause of the catastrophe. it should
charge the disaster to the trade unions,
as was done by the Times assistant gen
eral manager. The Typographical union
resents and refutes this charge. We have
defended ourselves against the attacks
made by the Times as best We could,
but we have always fought fair.
THE International Typographical union
is not a law-breaking. dynamiting insti-
tuition; its record of more than sixty
years existence is an honorable one and
entirely free from resort to violence of
any kind. 1t has won its cause and
reached its present position of strength
and influence solely through the justice
of its contentious and the lawful and or
derly manner in which its aims have
been prosecuted and made effective.
NO one regrets the Times catastrophe
more than l do. and especially the loss
of life following the explosion On the
other hand. We are determined to pro-
tect ourselves against the opportunity
that will be embraced by General Otis
and his subordinates to attempt to
fasten the explosion on the trades
unions. l have caused to be sent to our
representatives in Los Angeles the fol-
lowing telegram:
"Tn conjunction with president and
board of trustees of No. ia. take such
measures as may appear necessary to
protect International Typographical
union and local union from any charge
of completely with alleged dynamiting of

explosion was caused by faulty gas
mains and due entirely to unsanitary
condition OF Times plant"

One of the greatest calamities in the
printing trades and one of the greatest
blows that was ever dealt to organized
labor occurred when the Los Angeles
Times was burned to the ground last
Saturday morning. II Is believed by
great many that the fire was caused by
A gas explosion in the linotype room and
that the bombs found at the home OF Otis
and at the home OF the secretary of the
Manufacturers association were placed
there to create sentiment against union
labor. In piping printing office the gas
pipes for the machines are run under
the floor. Escaping gas beneath this
aoor would be so confined that the ex-
plosion would be terrific. This would
cause the breaking of pipes to thirty
machines and other places where gas
was used. precipitating a flood of gas
into the building. which would cause the
ere 10 spread as rapidly as it did. EN-
ployes who left the building shortly be-
fore the explosion say that gas was very
had in the room at that time. The bombs
that were found at the two other places
could have been easily planted there
after the building burned to place tne
blame on union men by the hired detec-
tives that are always on hand IN every
city to do the bidding of the master.
Another theory is that men were hireo
Inv the enemies of union labor to blow up
the Times building and plant the pomos
in other places to deal a crushing biow
to organized labor; but that the dyna-
miters who are alleged to have been
hired made a mistake in the time ana
did II nm hour too soon They were sup
nosed to have waited until the building
was vacated. The supporters OF TINS
theory point to the fact that Otis had an
auxiliary plant ready for operation IN an
other part of the city, and to the fact
that the bombs at the other places did
no damage. They were carried about py
detectives and exploded after the detec-
tiyes had carried them about for a wniie
cut them open, examined them. and when
through with the examination the detec-
tiyes ran away hurriedly.. Then the ter
rible bombs exploded. The bold detec'

But the late dispatches take an en-
