equivalent in number to many times the
population of Portland must die old maids

In Norway and France the lot of the

Potatoes, Please; Not Pebbles.

From the London Chronicle.
Potatoes are used for other than
feeding purposes writer in Notes
and Queries recently recorded the
case OF man who has filled cabinet
with series Of small wrinkled OBJ
jects which look and feel like large
pebbles" They are not pebbles, how
ever. but potatoes. which have become
petrified by being carried a long time
In the pocket. Each potato Is marked
with a small label bearing an inscrip-
tion such as Carried from November
II. 1878. to May Is. 1880. Very effii-
cacious." The collector claims that the
potato carried in the trousers pocket
has proved to be the best of the many
remedies he has tried for rheumatism.
He carries a potato until the return OF
the twinges seems to testify to the de-
cline of its curative properties Then
he takes a new potato and locks the
old one up in his cabinet.

Mushroom Mistakes.
From the New York Times

That mushrooms are as nutritious as
beefsteak is popular fallacy encouraged
until recently by scientists. The agarics
contain as much nitrogen as meat. But
nitrogen is not digestible protein. The
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation points out: Mushrooms contain a
large portion Of nitrogenous matter COM
parable with chitin, which is the pro-
verbally indigestible protective covering
of the lobster. The Journal says:
1T can readily be shown that an indt-
vidual would be obliged to consume many
Kilograms of fresh morsels to obtain q
days requirement of protein. which is
easily satisfied in the form Of beefsteak"
This explains why even the so-called
edible mushrooms often upset their eat
ers' digestion. Nevertheless. Prof. Men
del of Yale, who has analyzed the edible
fungi, believes that, though no. essential
foods, they are useful dietetic accessories.

FUTURE LOOKS GOOD
William O. Huber Pleased
With the Labor Outlook.
ADVANCE SINCE YEAR 1899
Chief of Carpenters Brotherhood
Says Differences Between Capital
and Labor Are Disappearing.
ADVANCE SINCE YEAR 1899

Organized labor is increasing in num-

These are opinions held by William o.
Huber. president of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners. who has
arrived in Washington for the annual
convention of the big national organza-
ton, which assemblies Monday.
In the thirteen years of his incumbency
of the presidency of the brotherhood Mr..
Huber has seen its membership advance
from 10000 to 25O,OOO. and the pay of car
penters has doubled or more than dou-
bled in that time. Work hours have been
materially shortened, the skill of the
worker is vastly greater.
Conditions Improving.
achievements of organized labor in mind
Mr.. Huber sees no reason to entertain
any view regarding the labor situation
that does not acknowledge the influence
for better exercised by the union.
Labor and capital, through mutual
recognition of their Importance.
strength and power, are learning to
treat with each other on terms of mu-
tual advantage and progress. In this
yeSpeCl CouultlOIS are sttddhs
proving and not retrograding, in the
opinion of Mr.. Huber.
II am an optimist." declares Mr..
Huber "The condition OF the labor
ing man improves every day, am con-
fident. There is seldom step back
ward in his progress. This is the re-
suit of my practical observation, and
not theory.
Il have been president of the brother
hood since 1899. an office that has brought

carpenters has doubled all over the

cases has trebled. Moreover, the capa-

Eight-Hour Day, More Work.
