all the sessions of the commission
hearing, has an answer to that question,
as we'll as some interesting hopes Of
what will grow out Of this investiga-
ton.
"Join the Consumers League" is the
answer which Mrs. Nathan makes 70 the
question of what can be done. AS pres
ident of the Consumers League of the
City of New York. Mrs. Nathan has
been working for years to improve the
condition of workers.
"As a matter of fact" said Mrs.
Nathan in her home yesterday, when
she was asked to talk about the report
Of the commission, there was nothing
startling or new in the report of the
commission to those of US who have
been working along these lines.
u do not mean to deprecate the work
Of the commission, understand. The
work was done in a scientific manner
and is Of great value. For one thing,
the members were trained investigat-
ors, but no charge OF Partially or bias
could be brought against them. For
another, being state commission, it
ha- mandatory powers. If the Con-
sumers' League sends out an investi-
gator an employer can show his pay
rolf he likes. If he does not like
he does not show 1t. But an investi-
gctor for the commission could not be
put off. 1t must be plain to any one
that the employers who are perfectly
willing to show their books have moth
ing to fear. 1t is the man who is pay
ing starvation wages who does not
want to show his payroll But he could
not refuse the investigator who came
to him with the authority of the state
back of him.

now and then asked pointed questions,
was Miss Rose Schneiderman, OF the
Woman's Trade Union League. Miss
Schneiderman, like Mrs. Nathan, was
not surprised at the findings Of the
commission.
Workers Must Organize.
"There is only one thing | can see
which can better conditions" said Miss
Schneiderman. "That is for the work
ers to organize. Commissions may
work for months, as this one has done;
they may tell to the world what they
have discovered, but what good will it
do il the workers themselves do not
organize?
"For years trade unionists have
known the conditions which exist
That is why we have talked organiza-
ton all the time. But many times
people paid no attention to us. We
were 'agitators.' But now the commits
sion has worked for months in a sci
entific manner, and its report is just
as full of sob stories as anything we
have ever said.
mo one, however preiudiced, can say
that this investigation was not thor
ough. In the matter of wages the COM
mission investigated 100000 cases.
When that number has been put on
record il cannot be said that the cases
are isolated or unusual. The industries
covered, which were chosen as typical,
we're candy, paper boxes, mems shirts
and department stores.
$4,000 Earr Less than Sc a Week.
"And what does the commission fndf
That $4,000 women earn less than SO a
week, and for most of them the work
is only seasonal. Yet the cost of liv-
ing is not seasonal. One must eat and
sleep and have clothing all the time.
Some one asked me if the women
and girls whose wages were shown to
be so low we're not inefficient. | don't
think really answered her. How could
one answer such a question? Probably
the workers are inefficient But why
shouldn't they be? How can they be
anything else, existing on starvation
wages? And there is just this | would
like to ask every one who asks that
question-how efficient will! the next
generation be if this one lives "a it Is

The Lazy Woodpecker.

Woodpeckers are the greatest stay-in-
beds OF all the American birds, while
robins are among those who stay up
latest at night and get up earliest in the
morning. A New Hampshire naturalist
has recently made such careful observa-
tions of the sleep .labits OF native birds
that he can now tell pretty closely the
minute when any particular bird will be-
come sleepy in the evening or will wake
up in the morning.
BY timing, day after day, the last notes
heard from various birds, and by listening
in the morning for their chirpS and calls,
he has found that their sleep habits are
very regular, though in the busy months
OF spring household responsibilities they
are apt TO get up earlier than at other
seasons.
On the average, downY woodpeckers
were not heard from after half an hour
before sunset and pileated woodpecke's
after an hour before sunset. They slept
in the morning until ten or twenty min
utes after sunrise, in contrast TO the robin,
which is up more than an hour before
sunrise, and the wood pewee, which is
up an hour and halt before sunup.
The robins, pewees and thrushes, ne
found, generally retired for the night
about half an hour after sunset; so the
woodpecker usually took two or three
hours more sleep than the pewees or the
robins.

Trolley Line Coming2

There is more talk about trolley rail-
way lines through this section, AM the
project now being discussed is system
that shall extend from Washington 10
Staunton by The way Of Frederick and the
towns OF the Shenandoah Valley. VIM.
n. Hamilton, OF Washington, who is in
terested in the movement, has written TO
the mayors OF Frederick. Charles Town
and other towns inquiring as TO the matter
OF franchise and what encouragement for
the enterprise may be expected from the
people who live along the proposed route.
The plan now suggested is to connect
with the line Of the Old Dominion Com
pany. running from Washington City TO
Great Falls, cross The Potomac river at
that place. and build through Montgomery
county TO Frederick. Here connection
might be made with the Hagerstown and
Frederick system, and from Boonsboro a
new line could be constructed 10 Keedys-
vile, thence TO Sharpsburg and Antietam
Battlefield, and Shepherdstown, Charles
Town, BeryvilIe. Winchester and on
down the valley to Staunion. We hope
that the proposition may soon assume
tangible form.

Loss OF Appetite.

We all know there are certain chronic
diseases that cause, among other symp-
toms, a great loss of bodily weight.
Among them are tuberculosis and cancer,
often diabetes, especially In the young,
and, of course, any trouble with the
mouth or throat tha. makes il difficult to
swallow. But there are cases in which
there is loss of appetite and weight that
are more difficult TO understand. Some
are so mysterious that the physician can
not make a satisfactory diagnosis.
Such case pursues its course appar-
emily unaffected by any treatment. until
by and by the patient begins to get well,
or else to show other symptoms that dis
close the real nature OF the malady.
One sort of anorexia, or lack OF appe-
tiie, seems to be purely nervous; young
girls are especially liable to il. II some
time occurs without any other symptom
of nervous trouble, and may bring the
sufferer so near to complete starvation
that her friends are greatly alarmed. The
patient has no taste for any article OF food
whatever, and can be persuaded to eat
only the tiniest quantity at a time. OF
course she rapidly becomes pale and
emaciated.
In the early stages of the trouble her
family usually Try TO mag" her back to
a normal habit OF eating. and accuse
her OF "being IN love-" or Of wishing
to look slender and interesting; all to no
avail. Later il becomes clear that some
thing really is wrong, and the physician
is called. That course should not be too
long delayed, for long period OF starva-
ton, even if recovery occurs. often leaves
serious physical weakness behind it.
The diagnosis of a careful physician is
" orth much family guessing II there IS
a latent tuberculous state at the bottom OF
the trouble, a speedy examination, and
then persistent course OF treatment, is
the best thing that can happen.

st. Louis was tried. He got so weak
and thoroughly run down that he de-
clares he could not walk more than
a hundred yards without resting.
Few people understand that catarrh
Is a constant drain on the system.
The discharge of mucus which is
going on in such cases is largely COM
posed of blood serum, and is a great
waste. Sooner or later it will weaken
the strongest man.
According to reports received from
Mr.. Johnson, he was in a desperate
condition, but he found relief from
his trouble. We will let him say how
he found it. His own words say:
my friends told me to take Pc
runa, and l did so. / now feel that
Peruna has saved my life. 1t is the
best medicine on earth, and 1 would
not be without it."
This seems almost too good to be
true. No doubt there are some read
ers that will think so. The abov
statements, however, can be verified
by writing Mr.. Johnson.

Friends.

So many people come and 90,
And there The pleasure ends,
For just few respond in kind
These few we call Our Friends.
They are the blessing OF our lives,
Those chosen few we know;
Through them our hopes take nooler
form
And by their faith We grow.
And often when the solitude
Brings out our human needs,
We take our friendship rosary
And count ifs precious beads.
One at time they walk with US,
And lend friendly hand
These ones apart from all the rest
The few who understand.

To Prevent Hog Cholers.
Charleston, w. Va,
February IS. 1914.

TeUIudIl 20, iSlf.
Editor Reeister-The State Department
of Agriculture, at Charleston, West Viz
ginia, desires to call attention Of all par
ties who own hogs throughout the State
TO efforts which are now going to be put
forth for the control and eradication OF
hog cholera
With our meagrc appropriation tor the
control of diseases among our domestic
animals il is impcss bic fOT US to furnish
Tree OF cost hog cholera serum for all
parties applying iOr line same, but il is
our purpose wherever there is an out
break Of hog Cholera throughout the State
10 send one OF our consulting veterinan-
ans with sufficient hog cholera serum to
vaccinaie the hogs already exposed and
those within The neighborhood on ad-
joining farms, and the consulting veter-
inarians are instructed TO give advice to
the farmers so that the disease may not
spread beyond the limits of the quaran-
tine.
Farmers aid hog owners everywhere
are urged 10 listen TO and obey the sug-
gestions and orders OF the consulting
veterinarians OF this department, and in
the case Of an outbreak OF hog cholera
notify the department al once, either by
wire or letter, giving approximately the
number Of hogs exposed and the number
on adjoining farms. This information
should be carried by telephone message
or telegram, because when there is an
outbreak of hog cholera it IS necessary
that action be taken quickly 10 prevent
its spread.
II is true that great percentage oi the
diseases among hogs is hog cholera, but
sincerely trust that farmers will be rea-
sonably sure that they have properly
diagnosed the case before they put the
State to the expense necessarily incurred
in making examination.
Hog cholera serum will be kept on hand
at the department for sale al 2 cents per
c. c., in yials Of $50 or 500 c.
