Washington, Sept. 26-The amount of livestock grazed on national forest ranges is more than four per cent. greater this year than last year, near 1y 10, 000,000 domestic animals having been occupied during the summer in converting one of the by-products of the forest into meat, hides and wool, according to forest service reports. During the year past the government received more than $1,O0O,0O0 from grazing fees, of which $350,000 went tA schoAls and roads in the states where the forests are located.

Outline Of Strikes History to Date
Upon arrival in the strike zone |
-ound little on the surface to Indicate
mat a great industrial conflict was
being waged, comparative quiet
reigned. To one travelling through
the strike bound district it would not
appear that $4,000 miners and a large
number of WOMEN were pitting their
resistanc against the combined forces
serving the interests of the Industrial
ears OF the copper country.
The strike is now in its tenth weak
It has run the usual course of all great
industrial conflicts. All the poweus
OF the state and private strike break
ing agencies have been employed to
intimidate and coerce the strikers.
Anathemas have been hurled from,
pulpats by deputized priests, subtlel
suggestions and tricky lies, appeals t.
national, religious and political pre-
JUDGES have been resorted to by a
prostitute press without avail. The
strikers are as firmly resolved at this
stage OF the truggle to win as when
they tiTst refused to enter the mines.
OutraQes:
The reign of terror, which. follow-
ing the importation of gunmen and
militia, marked the month OF August,
had spent its violence owing to the
splendid discipline and admirable sell
control of the strikers, who, in spite
OF outrageous treatment, refused to
be driven to the commission of covert
acts. This is all the more remarkable
when it is borne in mind that many of
the miners are of the hot tempered ma
tionality which are quick to resent i'll
treatment and whose simple sense of
Justice is ordinarily not slow to mete
out primitive form Of punishment to
Offenders. The clubbing Of unoffend-
ing citizens by cavalry who patrolled

The conditions prevalent in the
mines Of the copper country are those
of abject slavery, and greater disre
gard for human lives Is not conceiv-
able. lily ventilated the mines are a
menace to the health of the workers
It is conceded that the span of tram
mer's usefulness is about five years
improperly timIbere& accidents are
numerous. Statistics are not avail
able as the companies conduct hospit
ais of their own presided over by the
company doctor.
The miners spend from 10 to II
hours underground in the mines which
are as much as 1000 feet deep. That
far below the surface the air is hot
and foul. The air pumped into the
shafts is wholly insufficient and can
not reach into the drifts and up the
Slopes, the only air reaching from the
outside being the exhaust from the
drills.
The compensation for work in these
mines varies, but approximates $2.25
per day. 1t is of course contended that
the wage is more nearly $2.75 and
sometimes $500 but it must be re
membered that deductions are made
for supplies, rent, fuel. doctor and
hospital fees.
The most abominable conditions of
all. is the contract system" which
reduces the miners TO industrial serfs
and gives the companies the most alb

By this system a certain piece of work

THE Head
Is the First Chapter in the History
of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head is the first chap
ter in the history Of disease and death.
This has been SO often repeated hat
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of it.
A cold in the head is rarely severe
enough to confine a vigorous person
to the house. AS a rule, it ends in
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people to regard a cold
in the head as of no Importance. 1t is
a terrible mistake, however, to pass
by a cold in the head as a trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses Is sufficient to re-
move every vestige of the cold. How
much better it Is to treat a cold in this
way than it is to allow it to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a cold in the head Is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality a
case of acute catarrh. It ought to be
called So, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
a large per cent. of cases cold in the
head will end in chronic catarrh. I'm
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps 80 per
cent. Of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom Of
cold in the head. Usually where the
| >old is not very severe a tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. It may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack ia
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take a tablespoonful of
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
a t~easpoonful every hour

Hoddy was always set in his dare

had the plans, he supposed that they
could turn the trick without Hoddy's
assistance; only, 1t seemed rather
hard for him not to be in the sport.
He told me that nothing would give
him greater pleasure than to stick his
