In response to a resolution of In
quiry by Senator Borah, the senate
received recently the report OF Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Nagel
on his investigation of the conditions
of labor in the steel industry. This
report shows that 1t is the common
rule in that industry to require twelve
hours work day for seven days in
the week and that the average wage
is from Is to 25 cents an hour. This
schedule is applied to at least one
third of the 10000 workers The in
vestigation covered all of the 344 steel
plants in this country. And the re-
port contends that much of the work
is no more necessary to be done on
Sundays than in any other industry,
for the seven-day schedule is not con-
fined to the blast furnace section.

TESTIMONY ON SUFFRAGE.

Hon. ]. 8. T. MCGOWAN, premier OF
New South Wales and leader Of the
labor party in Australia, brother Of a
former citizen of Keokuk, while in
New York with his wife on their way
home from the coronation, talked at
length Of the effect Of woman suffrage
in his country. He said that the per-
centage Of women voting was greater
than of men. He believed that the eff
feet was to make the women more
instead of less womanly and the polit-
ical meeting had become orderly as
compared with former times. He adj
mitted that about 10 per cent Of the
women vote is reflex" or follows
the stand of the husbands or brothers
or sons or father, but he added that
the rs per cent of the independent

DEATHS FROM IMPURE FOOD.

Rutledge Rutherford, editor Of the
National Food Magazine of Chicago,
has printed list Of deaths and sick
ness traced directly to the eating of
adulterated food within year The
list totals 1,12o deaths and 26,582
cases of illness. But this serves only
as foundation on which to base an
estimate Of the actual number of
casualties not reported and superin-
duced by a weakening OF the system.
He estimates the total of children
alone killed in this country in year
as 100000 and he believes that a
third of the cases of sickness of
adults could be traced to the same
cause, and that the total of deaths
would reach half million.

Hundreds of half-sick men and
women in Newark, who really do not
know what is the matter with them,
are suffering with the same trouble,
which is nothing other than hat dis
tressing and all too common malady,
nervous debility, say the specialists
who were sent here to introduce this
new medicine. This distressing con-
dition of the organic body Is always
found existing with the greater per-
centage of the population of all the
large cities, where the strain and ex-
element incident to modern life is
too much for the constitution of the
average person.
THE symptoms of nervohs debility
are plain to those who understand the
nature of this disease. Nervousness,
stomach and bowel troubles, imperfect
digestion, constipation, headaches, list
lessness, poor circulation, cold feet, are
characteristic. "Tona Vita was discov-
market for the first time in this u
try for the relief of those afflicted with
this very trouble.
"Our preparation acts like a true

or woman, and proving a lasting source
of benefit and relief. When b%uoyant
spirits return and depression gives
