The Coal Miners Strike In
Southern Colorado

To those of our readers who are
unacquainted with the coal strike
situation in the west we thought it
would be of interest to give them a
few facts concerning this really seri-
Gus situation at the present time.
The southern Colorado fields are
the scene of the strike and the six
states, namely: New Mexico, wyo-
ming, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri
and Arkansas are suffering most
from it. The United Mine Workers
are trying to bar coal from these six
states. The trouble is the Union re-
fuses to ship coal to the large Colo
rado companies, who have not signed
up with or are not in sympathy with
the Union. In the words of their own
leaders they say: We will stop the
shipment~of coal to any company
which sells to non-union companies
or attempts to fill contract orders of
the non-union companies. The fol-
lowing will show just what is being
done and will enlighten our readers
as to how it affects the large dealer
and in turn just how hard it hits our
extreme measures in trying to supply
our people as best they can. From
the Rocky Mountain news: Next
Sunday Mr.. Hayes and w. T. Hickey,
secretary of the State Federation of
Labor, will begin a secondary course
of action They will tour the state
for the next month, speaking in every
city in Colorado. Hayes will handle
the coal strike situation. Hickey
will give statistics to show that the
unions are mistreated and miners
underpaid in Colorado. He will then
submit the petition prepared by the
miners for the submission at the
next general election of a constitu-
tional amendment providing that
the state shall operate its own coal
mines.
A third move in the miners cam
paign will be inaugurated by the Col
orado delegation to the American
Federation of Labor convention,
which opens in Seattle next Monday.
The Colorado delegation, headed by
State Auditor Roady Kenehan, Chas
H. Meyer, president of the Western
4 ederation of Miners; Ed. Anderson
of the United Mine Workers, and
other Colorado labor leaders, left last
night for Seattle. 1t will ask the
financial and moral support of the
American Federation of Labor for
the Colorado coal miners on strike
If all the plans come to naught,
the United Mine Workers then will
ask for statewide strike. Full
authority TO call this strike has been
placed in the hands of John McLen-
nan, president of the state federation,
and w. A. Hickey, its secretary.

Pictures which portray useless or
filthy extravaganza in elegant sur
roundings have a pernicious effect.
Perhaps you have noticed pictures of
college boys, well-dressed and nearly
always well-piped. Sometimes these
pictures are intended to advertise
clothing of this or that make. Others
are intended to boost the sales of a
particular brand of smoking tobacco.
What sort of advertising does college
life get out of all this?
Even an old pipe-puller is disgusted
at the sight of a steen-year old lad
putting away as if his very life de-
pended on his 4-cycle exhaust. On
the other hand it may be that the
lad is the victim of 4 bad example
and imagines that he is man, even
as the old pipe-puller is a man. Quite
as likely he has been Influenced to an
even greater extent by the pictures
he has seen wherein the smokers
were better dressed. What probabili-
ty is there that the young pipe-puller
will sometime be a college graduate
and wear the clothing advertised by
the pictures he has seen?

Care must be taken in the stories
We give to growing children that evil
is always overcome. Book friends are
very real to boys and girls and in.
fiuence their character. There should
be effort and conflict In their storlea
and daring endurance and steadfast
purpose Stories in which the child
hero acts rightly are particularly
valuable, because what boy or girl
has done appeals more directly to the
childs OVID power. He feels though
he may rot express 1t even to him
self thai what other children have

Watch Your Baby
These Summer Days
Little stomachs Get Out OF Order
Easily in Hot Weather.

During the hot months mothers
should look very carefully to the con-
didon Of the bowels Of babies ana
young children, and, for that matter
it is very important in the lives oi
people at all ages. Care should be
taken that the water is pure, the milk
wholesome and the fruit ripe (though
not over-ripe) and that not toe mucn
of anything is eaten.
When trouble results it is usually
in the form of constipation or OF
diarrboea. If the child loses appetite,
is fretful or languid, and complains
of headache you may look for con-
stipation. Give it a small dose OF Dr.
CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin at night on
retiring. and by morning this pleasant
laxative will have acted and the child
will be its normal self again.
At the first sign OF a summer cold
also give Syrup Pepsin, as tle clean
ing out of the bowels will usually be
sufficient to break the cold. Summer
diarrhoea can be stopped in the same
way by ridding the bowels OF the
poisons and germs that cause the
trouble. This opinion of the value OF
Syrup Pepsin is shared by thousands
of people like Mrs. Ella Denzel, 124

SOME RULES FOR CURING HAM
L. :. Bulletin Describes the Famous
Smithfield Method.

Home curing of hams is probably
not as general as ii was in former
years. Still it would seem that no
farmer who raises hogs should be
without the knowledge required to pre-
pare hams of good quality. at least for
home use. The process is compara-
lively simple and requires no special
skill.
The method of preparing the famous
hams of Virginia is fully
described in report of the Bureau
of Animal Industry. The method IS
as follows:
The flesh surface is sprinkled with
fine saltpeter until the hams are rs
white as though covered by a moder-
ate frost; or. say, use , or I pounds
Df saltpetcr to 1000 pounds of hams
immediately salt with fine IiverpooI
AIT, covering the entire surface
