 Henry s. Dennison. president of the big. manufacturing company that bears his name, decried the donina- ton of corporations by stock owners who vote upon questions of which they know. little. He said that this class of directors did more to encour- age the I. w. w. than any other agency. He told how his own con- cern had included the actual produc- ing employees in the stock ownership and direction of affairs.
 Superintendent Spencer R. Gordon of the local charities department told about the change in housing and moral conditions that had been made within a few years at the plant of the National Cash Register Company at Dayton, O.

 E 3. Phosphorus compounds, called phosphates. or phosphatic foods These are adapted to the nourish- ment of the brain and nervous tis- sues. They are especially valuable to those who are forced to endure great mental labor or nervous strains
 By nutrttive value Of foods is meant the percentage of substance which can be assimi1ated in the sys- tenn and be converted into actual tfs- sue to compensate for the natural waste of the organism. There s no natural food (not manufactured which is composed entirely of nutri- tive substances, as 8 greater or less amount of waste is aIwaxB present Sugar for instance contains 95 per cent of nutritiVe value, all of which is under the head of carbonaceous; there are no nitrogeuous or phos- phatic materials. For that reason man could not live long upon a diet of sugar.
