BUTTON WORKERS
ARE INTERESTED
Muscatine Shutdown Declared by En-
pIoyes to &c Merely
Lockout.

Keokuk button cutters are interested
i'll the situation at Muscatine where
the factories are closed. The Journal
says of the case:
With the shutdown of the button
plants, declared to be lockout
against the union operatives by the
local union, and pickets located near
all the factories now closed, the in
dustrial situation in this city today,
is far from favorable. Late happenings
seem to portend more serious develop
ments, but there is no fear of yio-
lence or lawlessness.
The police were called to the Wen
ma plant on East Fourth street yes
terday afternoon to disperse crowd
of cutters which had gathered, and
members of which, according to the
information provided the police from
the factory, had interfered with per-
sons carrying company property. The
police we're not forced to act against
the men, however, as there appeared
to be no occasion for any arrests.

women and children who visited the
factory to secure buttons for carding
purposes, and asked them to return
the packages to the factory. Many of
them complied, while it is understood
that others did not oblige the men,
but no intimidation or coercian was
INDUCED in, according to the men.
Today near the closed plants are to
be seen knots of men, who serve as
voluntary pickets. The man We're not
stationed there by the union, however,
and the leaders OF the workers night
declare that the organization hopes to
secure victory through peaceable
means, and is doing all in its power
to discourage any feeling which might
lead to lawless conduct on the part
of the men. The button manufacturers
are not alarmed, and believe that no
serious consequences will result. Sew
eral OF the prominent manufacturers
have taken steps to discourage the
gathering of any crowd near their
property, and the police department
has been asked to assist in maintain
ing the most peaceable conditions.

aFLETCHERISM,,

The habit of chewing ones food un.
till it becomes almost Iiquefied and
swallowed involuntarily, and eating
certain foods at certain times of the
day is called .Fletcherism' after a
man named Fletcher who advocates
this method as remedy for indi-
gestion and stomach troubles. While
one may get from this system the
maximum amount of strength from
the minimum amount of food, it is a
question as to what extent this prin-
ciple of living can be applied to the
human race as a whole. 1t is an old
and true saying, What is one mans
meat is another mans poison
There is one thing sure however.
much less distress and much more
assimilation of the bodybuilding ele-
ments contained in every day food
would be experienced by people with
poor or impaired digestion if they
would only believe what we tell them
about Vinol.
There is no mystery about it, or
Misrepresentation yinol simply con-
tains the necessary elements needed
to reestablish normal condition of
the digestive system. There is no
need Of going into the scientific rea-
sons WHIT simply does it, that is
all.
Thousands of genuine testimonials
from reliable people prove this claim.
and to further support the fact and
prove our faith in what we say, we
unhesitatingly declare that any one
who will buy bottle of vinol for
stomach disorder and malassimilation,
will have their money returned with
out question if they are not satisfied
that it has not done them good. Nc

The world was never SO truth-teliing

SIaxerx In Old Greece.

The Greeks were slave owners with
a vengeance. All manual work was
done by .'barbarians," as the Greeks
called those who had been captured In
war. The greatest Of the Greeks saw
no evil in the institution. Aristotle Is
quite outspoken In his justification OF
slavery. A certain amount OF mean
work had to be done. he claimed. ana
'.mean natured men" were intended 10
do Il. The slaves in some OF the Greek
states outnumbered the freemen four
or Eve to one. Manual labor came In
Greece TO be thought degradation,
suited only for beings who could not
do the higher work Even freemen
who worked for wages were by Arts
totie placed outside the constitution
And what was true of the Greeks was
equally true of most of the other an

When the family who admitted that
they were moving because the tenants
at the old address made their lives
miserable confded to the renting agent
that they had one peculiarly which
they wished him not to mention to
their neighbours In his building the
agent got uneasy and executed a men
tai quickstep trying to devise some
way to break the lease. But aloud he
said very courteously:
II shall be glad to oblige you II J
can. What is 1t you wish me to keep
a secret?"
"The fact that we pay our rent
promptly on the LIST of every month"
said the head of the family. That
was something that nobody else In the
other house did, and the agent as an
incentive to quick action on their part
published the news of our promptness
The only action 1t stirred them into
was persecution of us, and they car
ried that to such extremes that we
had to move. II you will kindly re-
frain from using us as a club to whack
your delinquents into obedience we
will appreciate it."
The agent resolved not to cancel the
lease, but at the same time he relin
pushed hastily conceived plan for
procuring prompt remittances. - New
