The representative says: Take
the egg, for instance; 1t doesn't cost
the hen any more to lay an egg today
than 1t did 100 years ago, but we pay
more than our grandfathers did be-
cause we don't let the hen lay the
egg where we can get out the back
door ourselves and pick It up. The
farmers wife in Idaho goes out and
gathers up an egg. keeps it till a man
comes along with buggy and takes
1t from Ter. He crates. sorts and
packs 1t along with others and then
carries It to the railroad. 1t is laid
in April, May or June; you don't get
IL until the following Christmas. and
you have to pay for its keep all that
time, pay for the cold storage. pay
the railroad rates, the expense OF the
man who went around in buggy and
gathered 1t and the initial price of
the farmers wife in Idaho. 1t is the
same all along the line"

VIZ ASHINGToN.-When it comes to
w a keen understanding of domes-
tic economy, there is no man living
who has anything on Representative
]. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia.
He has completed a list of luxuries
which shows that the candy con-
sumed in a single year represents
the cost of a complete chain Of canals
from Boston to Key West; that the
jewelry sold represents twice the cost
of building the Panama canal. and
that the nickels annually dropped on
soda water counters are sufficient to
establish a complete inland water
way system.
The statistics with which Represent
ative Moore backs his assertions are
colossal. They represent his investi-
cation into the reason for the high
cost of living, and prove that the in
dividual himself is in a large meas
ure responsible for the decline of the
dollars value.
According to Mr.. Moore, the boys

Economy Board to Save Millions

The heads of the executive depart
ments have received instructions to
pare travelling expenses wherever pos
sible. This order is applicable to the
war and navy departments, as well as
to all other departments of govern
ment.
OF course, the largeness of the item
for travelling expenses is due in great
measure to the laws under which men
in the navy and in the army, either
as officers or privates, receive travel
allowances. The travel expenses of
the department of agriculture and
the department of the interior are
also necessarily heavy. and the same
is true. though not to so great an ex-
tent, of the post office department.
The Injunction that has gone out
simply is that travel pay must not be
authorized except where travel on
government business is absolutely
necessary.
Soon after President Taft entered
the White House, and long before the
present economy and efficiency board
was created, instructions went out to
the heads of the executive depart
ments to curtail travelling expenses
wherever possible.

Walnut Catsup.

There are various recipes for ma
king this relish. The following will
be found a good one: Select fine firm
nuts; they are best when fresh and
soft Pound them well, reducing them
to a pulp, then put to soak in vinegar
enough to well cover. Add to this
after two hours two tablespoonfuls
of salt one teaspoonful of horserad-
ish, one teacupful of mustard seed and
garlic, two ounces of allspice, two
ounces of cloves, two ounces of nut
meg, one ounce of black pepper and
two ounces of celery seed. Boil all for
an hour. Then strain through hair
sieve and bottle, sealing the covers.

If pan is burned or blackened,
rub the inside of it with hard crust
of bread dipped in salt and afterward
wash 1t with hot soda and water.
Add a little soda to the water in
which you wash your plates and
dishes. The soda loosens the grease
on them and gives the china good,
shiny surface.
Be very careful to keep the lids Of
saucepans clean, for the flavor of one
dish may cling to lid which has not
been washed and spoil second dish
which is prepared in the same pan.
Wash a saucepan in plenty of hot
water; but never wash cake tins or
frying pans. Wipe them well with a
piece of paper. which is afterward
burned, and polish them with a dry
cloth.
Here are few rules 1t would be
we'll to cut out and paste in your
kitchen. They are hints about wash
ing. and will give much success in the
affairs of that very important region
of the home.
Pudding cloths, jelly bags and SO
on should be we'll washed, scalded
and hung up to dry, 1t is not neces-
sary to iron them, but they should be
smoothed and folded before they are
replaced in the drawer.
Stand saucepans, fish kettles. etc,
in front of the fire for few minutes
after washing them, so that they may
be thoroughly dried inside. This
makes them last longer and helps to
keep thom in good condition.

HEAVY STRIKE LOSSES.

Washington - Commenting on the
losses sustained by the railroads in the
recent strike in England, Reynolds
Newspaper says:
Those who were inclined to pooh-
pooh the consequences of even partial
suspension of work on the railways
should have their eyes opened by last
weeks traffic returns. more dismal
record it would be hard to conceive. The
receipts of the Northwestern show a
shrinkage of 1O1 900 pounds, and those
of the Great Western one of $1,000
mounds, while the Midland, the Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, and the Northeast
ern all sustained losses of about 10000
pounds each. The combined declines OF
10 important English trade lines eN-
ceeded 100000 pounds, representing a
loss of say half a million of the eXpan'
sion which would have occurred under
normal conditions. The passenger lines
escaped much more lightly, the aggre-
gate falling off in the receipts of half a
dozen companies being only $4,000
pounds We note that even the South
western, despite the boasted loyalty
of its staff, was among the sufferers.
When they examine last weeks tratic
returns railway shareholders, we have
not the least doubt, will thank their
stars that even at the eleventh hour the
representatives of the companies CON
sented to come down from their high
horse and meet the mems leaders

"BUTTER AT 30 SOUS
OR REVOLUTION.
People in France Threaten to Revolt if
Prices of the Necessaries of Life
Are Not Reduced

Washington-The agitation of the
women of Brest for cheaper food has
spread to over 40 towns in northern
France and the citizens are now ener-
getically supporting the housewives in
their demands for a reduction in the
prices of the commodities of life. The
situation has become so serious that
Jules Pans, the minister of agriculture,
has been instructed by the cabinet to in
vestigate the underlying causes of the
high prices of food
AT Lille organized labor took an active
part in the demonstration. The General
Confederation of Labor has taken up
the agitation and 6,O00 metal workers
paraded the streets raising their voices
in protest against the high cost of living.
At Douai 1000 persons marched in pro-
cession singing revolutionary hymns and
carrying banners bearing the inscription,

plan not only embraced participation by
employees in the ownership and profits
of the business, but included the prin-
ciple of insurance against illness, acct
dent, and old age at the sole expense OF
the employers and as natural element
in the cost of carrying on their business
TO the best advantage. Undoubtedly the
employers look on this plan from sell
fish point of view. They expect that
under it they will get in the shape OF
efficiency and fidelity ample return for
their outlay. But we do not see that
this can be an objection to honest and
sensible workingmen. Workingmen OF
that stamp are neither beggars nor sneak
thieves They do not wish to get wages
or other advantages that they have not
fairly earned. Mr.. Morrison does the
class whom he assumes to represent a
gross disservice when he assails plans
of this nature. 1t is quite possible that
carried out in good faith on the one
said and the other, schemes of this sort
would tend to narrow the field of profit
able occupation for professional aSlta-
tors. We do not charge that that &C
counts for Mr.. Morrison's opposition to
them, but if we did it would be no more
unfair to him than he is to the employ
ers who are trying to work out a plan
of harmony between themselves and
their men.

WHAT OTHERS SAY OF US.
Members of Labor Organizations Seldom
Solicit Assistance from Charitable
Agencies.

Washington-The Survey pays labor
organizations the following compliment:
"Only small percentage of families
whose heads hold membership in labor
organizations come within the ken of
charitable agencies There are several
reasons for this. The organized worker
receives a better wage; therefore he can
care for his family better than his less
fortunate brother and he can lay up
something for a rainy day. A labor union
represents collective ambition. The pro-
fessional man forges ahead, or tries to
at least, single-handed The mechanic
as a rule, can progress only with the
other mechanics in the same kind OF
work. He can only rise as his fellow
workers rise. The very banding to-
gether of persons in the same trade
means foresight. 1t means that these
workers realize Individually that they
must foregO some liberties, give up part
of their earnings in order to gain more
liberty and better earnings in the end
The organized worker has not the what's S
the use?' state of mind. He has certain
standards which he desires to live up to-
He has certain ideals for himself and
his family.
There is a wholesome pride con-
nected with membership in a labor or
ganiZation, which leads the organized
worker away from ordinary relief agen-
ces His union stands ready to help
him in distress, his help comes as it
would from brothers, from next of kin
II it becomes necessary Tor him to ask
for more help When the resources of his
organization have been exhausted, he
often receives such help from individual
members.
"As matter of fact the labor organi
zation in most cases has strong hold
upon the worker because it means much
to him. He is attached to it more than
he is to his church, because it takes cog
nizance of his present needs. With the
DO 1t Now that we parade everywhere
has come a Live Now. The labor
union is here to serve that Now.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL
INVESTMENT
Nine Dollars a Year Earns 2,851 Per
Cent. Interest and 1873 Hours of
Leisure for Workmen.

Washington-Bakers in Cumberland
Md, organized a union in 1902. Previous
to the formation of the union they
worked 10 hours a day and received
wages ranging from So to Sl1 a week. In
the year of their organization they pre-
sented demands for a 10-hour work day
and got il. Since then they have sue
ceeded so well that they now work nine
hours a day, enjoy four holidays a year,
with pay. and receive an average scale
of s2.2S day, $256.6G a year more than
they did in 1902.
union, SO a year, will amount to $50. 1t
sufficient to purchase a comfortable
home. In addition it will have secured
1880 hours, or two years six months
and seven days, which can be spent in
taking care of and beautifying the home,
and in rest, recreation, physical and
mental development
On an investment of 80 a year the
bakers have received in interest 1851
per cent, not including the 1880 hours
which they can now use to their own
advantage. In 1902 the bakers of Cum
berland had only nine hours a day to
sleep, eat, get recreation and devote to
study. Through their efforts as union
men they have now reversed the order
of the day, and have Is hours for them
selves while the employer gets nine.
Organized labor has accomplished
wonders. 1t will accomplish much more
in the interest of the toilers when they
have been taught the necessity for or
ganization.

Elba Strikers.

Rome. Italy-Imbued with the spirit
that made Rome the mistress of the
world striking workers at Elba are de-
termined to win or perish in the battle
they are now waging against their en-
ployers.
The sight of starving women and chill
drCn has often unnerved men fighting
for industrial emancipation, and the or
canized workers of Italy are determined
that the men of Elba will not have to
face such an ordeal They have made
laus to take the women and children
especially the children, from the strike
district and leave the men untrammeled
in their battle to abolish the horrible
cinditions under which they have been
forced to labor.
Many of the dependents of the strik-
ers have been already conveyed to other
districts to be cared for by unionists and
it was a memorable day in Rome when
thousands of uniin men and women gath
cred at the railroad station to receive
group of children who had been con-
signed to their care. Strong men shouted
and wept when the little ones arrived.
The women gathered them into their
arms and they were carried away amidst
cheers to be housed and fed and COM
victory that would ensure comfortable
homes and sufficient food and raiment
for them.

members of the unions are showing a
spirit of self-sacrifice that will carry
their movement to victory.

CHILDREN WIN STRIKE.

Washington-Down in Mobile, Ala,
the children are rebelling against indus
trial conditions and through organization
have demonstrated the fact that even
infants may become power. The
''newsies" have thrown down the gaunt-
let to a publisher and in the lists have
overthrown their opponent.
The little vendors OF newspapers went
on a strike Tor a better share of the
profits, and conducted the controversy so
well that the city commissioners have
been called upon to act as arbiters. The
publisher has agreed to pay the boys
five cents week on each subscriber, but
the lads want more and are prepared to
convince the arbiters that six cents a
week on each subscriber is not too much.
The boys are members of Federal
Union and take great pride in their union
affiliations.

Washington-Governo Francis e. Nc
Govern of Wisconsin has exalted views
on the value of labor. He writes: La
Dor is the only true alchemy. The Ia
borer alone really transmits base metals
into gold by giving value to things be-
fore found worthless. Labor on the
farm, in the mines and in the forest adds
to the sum of raw materials adapted to
mans use. Labor in the shop, factory
and mill fits products thus wrested from
stubborn nature to PRACTICAL ends and
the satisfaction of human wants. The
laborer, therefore, is the real creator OF
wealth; though at times others may be
custodians of it, charged with the duty
of using it for the preservation of the
common good"
