working Iaborers to leave their wives
and children and take to the noun

beasts? What are the evils that
have brought Iight-hearted society
women, fond of dinner parties and
dress, to lay themselves liable to a
charge of treason against the state
by hiding machine guns in the cellars
of theirhomes?
To go not too far back, there was
a strike of the Colorado coal miners
in 1902. Men we're beaten up, de-
ported, jailed, shut up in ''bulpens"
the whole sickening story. The
strike was crushed and the coal op-
orators had their undisputed way.
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., de-
clared that he would not compromise
the present strike, because it was a
fight for principle.
Well, in 1902, the principle" was
maintained, and what followed? De-
cent American, Welsh and Cornish
miners being unwilling to work as
slaves, the coal operators opened up
an advertising campaign in Greece,

four nations into one, animated by a
fury of hatred which is simply incon-

They owned the land on which the
miners had to live, the homes they
had to rent, the stores at which they
traded, the churches at which they
worshiped.
They built stockades about the

pitched battles.
am considering the situation, to
try to throw some light upon the
meaning of it, and more especially
upon the question: What is to be
the outcome of it?"
Here is the question l want to put
to you: Suppose this revolt had not
been of Colorado alone, but had in
cluded the miners of a dozen states
or of the entire nation. What then?
"Impossible!" you say. But why?
Have not the things that caused this
revolt been done in other states of
our union?
In Colorado they had an armored
car with a machine gun that travelled
up the canons and rained death upon
the tent colonies Of the strikers. They
call it the Death Special" and in
West Virginia the name was the
Bull Moose Special" but the differ
ence in the name was the only differ
ence.
In West Virginia they had all the |
phenomena of government by gun
men; wholesale arrests without war
rant or charge, Imprisonment incom-
mudicado, beating up of strikers,
abusing of women and children, mid |
night raiding of homes and deport-
ing of undesirable" they had the
same in Michigan more recently, in
Idaho and Nevada some years back.
Does it seem to you impossible that
these miners could learn to COM
bine?
l CAN ASSURE YOU IT DOES
NOT SEEM POSSIBLE TO THEM!

Claims Of "cure" for Consumption

In spite Of the statements OF num-
Der OF individuals who have recently
claimed that they have found "cure"
Tor consumption, the National ASCOT
alton for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis, the highest authority on
this disease In America, declares that
there is no information at hand to JUS
tify the belief that any specific cure
for tuberculosis has been discovered
which deserved the confidence of the
medical profession and the people.
Backing up these statements, the
United States Public Health Service
declares that outside of the three es-
sentials in the treatment of consump-
ton, namely, rest, fresh air, and good
food, there is no drug known, how
ever rare or expensive 1t may be that
has any curative action in this disease,
and all remedies advertised as such
are to be avoided. Patent cough med
icines are harmful; radium, X-rays or
electricity in any Of its forms have no
special value In tuberculosis Of the
lungs. No serum has yet been found
that will cure 1t, and there is no plas-
ter or poultice which has any effect
on the disease itself"

You can obtain DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents

Phones for Turkey,

The Anglo-French Telephone com
pany, which secured concession from
the Turkish government for Constan-
tinople three years ago, has completed
its installation, and the official inaugu-
ration of the public service has just
taken place. About $4,000 miles Of
wires have been laid. This includes
eight submarine cables under the
Bosphorus, the Golden Horn, and the
Gulf of Ismid. There are already 1000
subscribers. The operators are all
native girls-Greeks, Arnenians and
Jewesses, and even seven Turkish
girls.

Ancient oet-Rioh-oulck Schemes.

About the year 1920 a great many
Englishmen invested millions of
money in companies which we're or
ganized for such objects as Wrecks
to Be Fished for on the Irish Coast"
For Making Oil From Sunflower
Seeds;" For Importing Number Of
Large Jack Asses From SPAIN" For
Wheel of Perpetual Notion" and,
most extraordinary of all, For an I'm
dertaking Which Shall in Due Time
Be Revealed" The promoter of this
last company received more than 1000
subscriptions during the morning on
which the offering was made, and dis
appeared the same afternoon with
more than 1000 guineas.
The Englishmen who parted with
their money for such ludicrous enter
prises were not, unfortunately, the
last of their kind.-The Worlds Work

panner Of safetv nLamps. y

The comparative futility of mechan-
ical devices for reducing the dangers
of mine explosions is still shown. A
few years ago it was thought that the
safety lamp was going to do the serv-
ice, but now it is established that
safety lamps are not always safe by
any means. Experiments have shown
that a small piece of picture wire
across the terminals Of one of the
small two-volt batteries of the safety
lamp Immediately becomes red hot
hot enough to ignite gas. In fact
miners have managed to make i'm
provised cigarette lighters out Of the
current thus produced. II looks as

chief danger to the miner lies in his
own carelessnees.

Crane Seed Oil.

Oil from grape seeds has become a
byproduct of the wine industry in por-

Association of Commerce and Trade,
published in Berlin, says that the first
pressing, obtained cold, is Of edible
oil; that extracted by pressing and
heating is dark and bitter, and is used
for lighting purposes and in the max
ing Of soap. 1T is described oils used
in the textile industry. About %
pounds of oil may be expressed from

Good Cheer Aids
Digestion OF Food
DySpepficS Can Make the Rest OF
fhe Family Happy by Using
a Lax0tive- Tonic.

The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend SO
much ON the good digestion of each
individual present that the experiences
of some former dyspeptics who over
came their trouble should be of inter-
est to those now suffering in this
way.
The best advice one can give-but 1t
is advice that is seldom heeded-is to
eat slowly and masticate each mouth
full carefully. However, II slow eating
and careful mastication fail the next
aid is one close to nature, Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. This remedy Is
an excellent digestant, and in addition
to helping in the digestion Of the food,
acts gently on the liver and bowels,
Kidding them of the accumulation of
waste that should long ago have been
passed of. 1t is safe, reliable, pleas
ant-tasting, and results are guaran-
teed.
Maj. s. Martin, Of Joplin, Mo-, now
n, thinks DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
has helped him to a longer and hap
pier life. He has not felt so good In
years as he has since taking this ex-
cellent medicine, and in spite of his
n years he says he feels like boy.

Hyqlenlc Salts for the Bath.

A physician who believes in baths
as a tonic advises the use of EPSON
or Carlsbad salts-preferably the for.
mer-for a general inauguration. They
should be used not more than twice a
week.
Take one ounce of the salts to a
pint of warm water for a sponge bath.
For a large tub bath use a pint of
salts to tub of warm water.
Purchase the salts at wholesale
drug house. The usual price in guam.
titles is four cents a pound. This
salt water makes an excellent tonic
and carries off many impurities
through the pores of the ska.
