10 earn a living for themselves ana
their families. And they get we'll not
by taking medicine-there's very little
medicine given at Mount Vernon-but
by consuming large quantities of fresh
air and wholesome food, by resting

ministered by doctors who have made
\ study OF tuberculosis, or consump-
ton.
The first thing that surprises the
visitor to the lifesaving station at
Mount Vernon is the cheerfulness of
the place. instead Of gloomy atmos-
phere, which so often exists around
q hospital, there is a general air of
hope Almost everybody you see,
doctors, patients and nurses, seem to
be smiling. Even the folks who are
sick enough 30 that they have to be in
bed are cheerful and smiling and ex-
pecting to get well. And the very
large majority of them do, too.
The sanatorium, Of course, is for
the benefit Of people in the early
stages of tuberculosis. If the disease
ts taken early enough, 1t can almost
always be checked. Not always, of
course; there are some unfortunate
eases, and there is no cure-all for con-
sumption. Any doctor who tells you
there is, Is lying, and any patent
medicine which guarantees cure for
consumption is a quack remedy and

State Sanatorium at Mount
Vernon Offers Hope to Those
Stricken by tuberculosis.
SUCCESSFUL BATTLE WAGED
" Costs the Poor Man Nothing and
Scores Of Men and Women are
Restored to Health and
Usefulness.

On a sunny hilltop in the ozarks
within rifle shot of the town of
Mount Vernon in Lawrence county
the state Of Missouri runs nfe-saving
station. By means of this lfe-saving
station many people get well every
year who otherwise would die of con-
sumption. The life-saving station is
called the Missouri State Sanatorium
for Incipient tuberculosis, and the
state maintains it so that those suffer
'ers from the great white plague"
who have not the money to go to
private sanatoriums may have just
rs good "a chance to get well as folks
with money have.

AN ouT-oF-pooR scHooLHoUsE,

Grown men and women aren't the
only people who suffer from consump-
ton. In the Missouri State Sanator-
ium at Mount Vernon, where people
in the early stages of consumption go
to get well, there are thirty boys and
girls now. When the first children
came to Mount Vernon for treatment
several years ago, the doctors and
nurses in charge of the sanatorium
realized that 1t wasn't enough to heal
these little folks bodies-that they
must also be doing something for
their minds while they were getting
well.
And so Mrs. c. G. English, who used
to be a school teacher and. is now the
wife of one Of the sanatorium doctors,
opened school for the children in a
room in one of the sanatorium build
ings. Now the children have a build
ing all to themselves, and it's a
mighty interesting sort Of a school
When they aren't in schooHand
school only lasts during the mornings
there is two hundred acres of wood
land for them to explore, and 1t is full
Of birds and squirrels. And there's
q creek on the sanatoGfum grounds
where q fellow can sometimes catch
dsh ii he's patient enough.

it is saving lives every day in the year.
People suffering from tuberculosis
better their chances Of recovery very
greatly by getting treatment early,
before the disease has gathered much
Roadway. And that's exactly what the
Mount Vernon sanatorium helps them
to do. And it gives the poor man as
much of chance to recover his health
as is accorded the man with money.

Pittsburgh, Dec. "A pebble

UNION AND NON-UN|ON
MINERS BATTLE 6 HOURS
Destroy Property at Three
Mines Valued at $250,000,
With Dynamite.

FORT SMITH, Ark. July Is. -
Union miners and sympathizers num-
bering several hundred DESTROYED
nearly everything at the three mines
of the Mammoth Vein Coal company
at Prairie Creek. % miles east of
here, and engaged a force OF non
union employees in battle that waged
from o'clock until noon. Dyna-
mite and fire were used to destroy
tie structures. The loss is placed
at $25O,0OO
The most remarkable incident in
connection with the clash, the result
of a strike of union employees, is that
no one was killed and that only four
persons were slightly injured
The battle came to an end when
the employees exhausted their supply
OF ammunition.
The first attack was made on mine
No 1. where a tipple and smaller
buildings were burned. Then an at
tack was made at mine No. 3. where
a tipple and company houses were
set afire and the machinery and
mouth of the mine shaft dynamited
The attacking force next went to
mine No. 4. the only plant that was
guarded and operating. The en-
ployes we're lodged behind a barri-
cade. while the attacking force took
refuge in the timber and rocks on
the edge of the ridges on nearby
hills The long distance at which
the fight was waged prevented any
fatalities
During the battle the fan house
and bunk houses quarter of mile
from the plant. were set fire. When
the employees took flight after their
ammunition became exhausted, the
attacking force set fire TO 16 coal
cars. the tipple and smaller build
ings
The trouble is the climax of a strike
called at mine No. last April when
the company inaugurated the open
shop policy.

ASK CONGRESS To
TAKE POSSESSION
Of COAL MINES
John D. Rockefeller Condemned
at Gigantic Mass Meeting,
Where Resolutions of Gov
eminent Control Are Adopted

NEW YORK. July 18.-Resolutions
calling upon congress to take posses
sion Of the coal mines in Colorado to
hold them in trust and TO operate
them in the interests Of both miners
and public were unanimously adopted
Friday night at a gigantic mass meet
ing in Webster hall.
Condemnation of John ID. ROckefel-
Ter was heard in the address Of every
speaker and the crowd applauded
bOisterously.
The keynote Of the meeting voiced by
representatives Of all the political par
ties and Of organized labor was gov
eminent ownership, not only Of Colo
RADIO and other mines, but of other
public service corporations
Amos PinchOt, in an address read in
his absence. said:
1T is entirely evident that the great
basis Of industry and sources Of ener-
~, such as coal, water power, oil and
iron ores should be owned by the gov
eminent and either operated by the
government or by private companies
under such leases as will guard both
the employees, the consuming public
and all industries
For this reason ! believe that in
order to settle this great strike and
prevent civil war in Colorado, destroy
powerful and lawless monopoly and
protect all interests impartially, the
federal government should acquire the
mines OF Colorado"
Rockefeller AssaiIed.
John W. Brown, organizer Of the
Mine Workers of America, assailed
John ID. Rockefeller and was heartily
applauded. He said:
The government of this country is
at present at No. &c Broadway. But
"A protest from the depths never
reaches that powerful source.
To-day there is but one solution Of
the problem and that is for the gov
eminent to take over the mines in Col
orado. l have come 5000 miles to
bear this message"
Hugh FTayne, New York represent
ative of the American. Federation of
Labor, said:
"One man alone CMr. Rockefeuer)
by single word could have stopped
all the bloOdshed of the Colorado
strike. UniOnism does not wish to
kill Mr.. Rockefeller but the union
men all over the country do wish to
Kill the vast power which the Rock
efellers have"
Sen. James MARITIME Of New Jer-
sey, came from Washington TO express
his sympathies toward the movement
and to reaffirm his conviction in the
good to be derived from federal own
ership OF public corporations.
