Compensation for Workingmen.

This measure has likewise had two
public hearings before the joint com
mittee on labor and labor statistics.
Representatives of the manufacturing
interests favor the principles involved
in this act, but strenuously oppose the
increased burden of taxation necessary
to raise the funds to pay liability for
all injuries. No attacks have been
made on the schedule of awards for in
juries or death. Some employers would
abolish the first aid fund and have
stated before the Joint committee that
they as individuals would under the di
rection of the state compensation com
mission assume all responsibility for
first aid during the three weeks per-
iod. They have not, however, agreed to
do away with the present system of
taxing the employees with a monthly
hospital fee. Another public meeting
will be held on this issue Wednesday
evening, February Sth, after which it
may be possible to Judge of the proba-
bilities of its success. We are standing
pat for the bill as prepared by the
commission, with some minor amend
ments which will in no way injure it.

SPARE THE OLD THINGS.
A Plea For the Preservation Of Keep
sakes and Sentiment.

sakeS ana sentiment.
Most everything Is being sacrificed
nowadays to the spirit of practicable
ity. Old love letters are destroyed be-
cause desk room Is needed The
AIDES the turn Of the road is sacrificed
to give room to a modern electric sign
that tells the same story The baby's
FIRST pair Of shoes, wee, dainty and soft
as they are, are thrown in the trash
pile that there may be room i'm the top
drawer for the powder box.
All of this destruction of "auld lang
syne" sentiment and the basis of remi-
niscence is chuck full of wrong. The
most interesting place in or near
Washington is Mount Vernon. The
most magnificent square in Philadel-
phia is Independence hall. The most
valuable spot in Texas Is the old
Alamo at San Antonio. Such places
as these contain the story of Ameri-
can history, and the citizen who views
and thinks while viewing-and no one
can view without thinking-becomes
instantly a patriot, likewise better
husband and better father.
Keep the old love tokens. Don't de-
stroy the "old gray bonnets." Treas
ure the little shoes. Save youths love
letters. And we may not have as
much room, but we will have more
sweetness, and there will be more
heart In the world.-Wichita Beacon.

Rheumatism In Pigeons.

Until kept a flock l never realized
the thousand natural shocks a pigeon
is heir to. Among the most insidious
of these is rheumatism. If they sleep
near an open window or in a draft
it is pretty sure to develop, frequently
in the form of wing disease. The ell
bow joint is the part most affected,
probably on account of being the most
exposed aud liable to become chilled.
The main symptom is lump on the
wing and feverishness. A bird so af-
fiicted should be placed alone in a
pen and fed plain food. Pluck the
feathers around the affected joint and
paint the swelling with tincture of lido
dine and 1t will gradually disappear.
