The fascinating stranger grabbed him
with a rough hand and Kissed:

The fierce bloodshot eyes, which

little boy as the man took a stout cord

chair and gagged him with large
bath towel. Energetic Mr.. Jones took
the key out Of the door, shook his fist

Fresh Air and
Food Alone Cannot
Cure Consumption
Something Must Be Done to Check
the Germ Growth If Permanent
Results Are Expected.

Fresh air and exercise, together
with plenty of nourishing food, are a
necessity to the cure of lung dis
eases, but they are not sufficient to
effect permanent results unless some
thing is done to prevent the Tubercle
Bacilli from continuing their destruc-
tive work
Nothing is more effective in doing
this than the famous Swiss remedy,
Sirolin, preparation which has
lately been imported into this coun-
try in large quantities after a long
list of successful cases have been
placed to its credit abroad.
Sirolin agrees with the weakest
stomach and greatly aids digestion.
1t is endorsed and recommended by
the leading Specialists in Europe, and
contains no harmful or habit-form-
ing drugs.
Additional information about Siro-
lin can be secured in this country
from the Sirolin Company, 2:S West
Broadway, New York City.
All leading druggists are recon-
mending and distributing Sirolin with
considerable success.

BUREAU TO UPL|FT
CHILD IS APPROVED
BY CONGRESSMEN
Committee Says Nation
More Jealous for We'll
fare of Animals.

Asking whether the Government
should be more jealous concerning the
welfare of hogs, cattle, insects, and
plants than Of the children of the ma
ton, the House Committee on, Labor to-
day made unanimous report on the
Peters bill to create a chiluren's bureau
In the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
A similar bill, introduced by Senator
Borah of Idaho, is on the Senate calen-
dar, and the numerous advocates of the
bill In both houses will urge immediate
action In order that the Government
may begin the work of collecting data
relating to the problems of childhood.
e The report of the House committee
says the creation of a cfildren's bureau
by the Federal Government will not
invade States rights, Us the chief func-
ton OF the bureau will be to collect in
formation to be made available for the
use OF the States and humane societies
who are seeking to better the condi-
ton of the child. The bureau " i'll in
vestisase infant mortality the birth
and diseases OF children, and employ
ment.
The house committee states further
creation Of the chiidrens bureau. but,
on the other hand, II Is supported by
such organizations as the Daughters of
the American Revolution. the American
Federation OF Labor, the Russell Sage
Foundation, the American Prison Assoc
clation, the National Child Labor Com
mlttee, the Child Saving Conference Of
Worcester. Mass. and various other
philanthropic organizations and persons.
The report mentions as among the bills
supporters. Cardinal Gibbons. Jane
Adams. Thomas Nelson Page, Judge
Ben Lindsey. Judge Julian Mack, DR..
Edward T. Devine, secretary OF the
Charity Organization Society of New
York, and others.
Not less than million American born
children are lost to the country every
edge" says the report.
THE Children's Bureau should be an
authoritative source of information con-
cerning the problems of child life, to
the end that human life and health be
preserved, and human misery decreased.
1t seems to us no more Inconsistent that
the Government should be able to send
out bulletins concerning these problems,
than that we should send bulletins con-
cerning the care of fish and hogs, or Of
cattle, and the preservation Of fruit
trees and the soil"
The report calls attention to the fact
that less than $4,000 annually will be
required for the Children's Bureau, as
compared with the many more thou
sands spent in other Investigations of
animal and plant life.

MACH|N|STS MAY
PETITION CONGRESS
TO INCREASE WAGES
Vote on Action Provided
President Fails to AS
sist Them.

Believing that appeal to President
Taft for more pay will he fruitless,
ma achinists of The Washington Navy
Yard have decided 10 ask cid Of Con-
gress. This appeal has been voted for,
Tut will not be made &c the President
should surprise the machinists by dl-
rcctins the Navy Department to grant
an Increase in wages. This prospective >
~ tion was voted for at a meeting ,,c
Columbia Lodge, International Associa-
tion Of Machinists, last evening, la
Naval Lodge Hall.
Date of presentation OF the petition to
the President Is not determined. Tie
vcte In favor OF pacific measures AMI
against strike was overwhelming, ac-
cording to n statement issued after the
meeting. which was held behind closed
doors. '
Machinists were present who favored
walk-out, and speeches in favor of
hostilities were made. But the first
three speakers. all officials. counseled
against strike. ...
P. j. Conlon, vice president of the In
ternational body: Arthur Holder, rep
resentative of the American Federation
Of Labor, and President Thomas E.
Carroll, Of Columbia lodge, advised
against strike. The names of the pro-
strike speakers are not given "for rea-
sons OF policy."sIt IL stated.
Belief was openly expressed that Pres
ident Taft will not override the Navy
Departments decision, and this Is one
reason why Congress will be asked to
legislate an increase in the machinists'
pay. Another is the privately expressed
opinion OF some of the members of CO.
lumbia lodge that the Navy Department
can do no more than it has promised,
under the law.
The same special committee which
has been acting In the past will take
the petition to the President. the COM
mittee including President Carroll, ].
w. Mcconnell, and Harry Rigby.
President Carroll today said that at
no time was there any likelihood a
vote to strike would be taken. "A few
members would like to go out now as
measure of protest against the Navy
Departments proposition to increase the
pay of part of the machinists but the
great majority of us are not in favor
of such action"
