vertisements, which seek to divert i'm
migrants into the northwest, were held
responsible by several witnesses be-
fore the Federal Industrial Relations
Commission for the unrest that exists
here 1t is utterly impossible, it was
disclosed, to keep all of the unskilled
labor employed throughout the year
People come out here lured by ad-
vertisements, thinking they are getting
into a land of milk and honey Isaac
Sweet, executive secretary of the Ore
gon Civic League, said. And they
find on arrival they must do their own
milking and there is no honey" sug-
gested Commissioner Garretson.

the existence and operation of labor,
agricultural or horticultural organiza-
tiOns, nor can these organizations or
members be held to be illegal combi-
nations or conspiracies in restraint of
trade under the antitrust laws.
To emphasize their views on the
question of labors right, the senate
adds: "Nor shall any Of the acts spe-
Gifted in this paragraph be considered
or held to be violations of any law of
the United States"
The bill marks the end of so-caIled
labor injunctions," which have been
issued on the theory that if workers
quit their employment or induce others
to quit, they can be restrained, be-
cause such actions "injures property"
No injunction shall be issued in
labor dispute unless necessary to pre-
vent irreparable injury, for which
there is no adequate remedy at law.
This is the position Of the American
Federation of Labor,
AS these features of the bill have
been agreed to by the house, it is safe
to assume that the long struggle Of
the American Federation of Labor for
human liberty is nearing its triumph
ant end, and the political policy of the
trade union movement has received its
most pronounced Endorsement.

WAR ENTHUSIASM GONE---
BERLIN FEARS RUSSIANS

"All enthusiasm for the war has dis
appeared; Berlin is panic-stricken,"
says an official dispatch received from
the German capital. Travellers arriving
in Berlin from East Prussia have in
creased the terror with their declara-
tiohs that the Russians will soon arrive
there.
The scarcity of food in Germany, the
dispatch adds, is assuming alarming pro-
portions. 4 Socialist movement against
war is anticipated, though the leaders of
that party have thus far been loyal to
the government
The last landsturm has been called to
the colors to fill up enormous gaps ere
atcd in the western army by the fighting
with the allies, and also to operate
against the Russians.
The German capital is looking forward
to a siege, and cannot be expected to-
hold out more than month, the dispatch
concludes.

1t is officially announced that the
French left, composed of four army
corps, drove back on Guise the Tenth

Further announcements made by the

age Of history
An alloy is compound of two or
more metals. Alloys generally possess
properties vastly different from the
parent metals. For instance. gold is
the most ductile Of all metals. 1t may
be drawn into the finest wire or beaten
into transparent film finer than the
thinneSt tissue. and yet mix the small
est quantity of antimony with gold and
it is not ductile at all Copper and tin
mixed together produce an alloy with
a higher specific gravity than either of
its constituents. and the same weight
will occupy less bulk. Copper and an
timony produce a beautiful violet blue
alloy.
BY mixing together eight parts by
weight of hismuth. five parts of lead
and three parts of grain tin an alloy is
produced which will melt at so low a
temperature that a spoon made of it
will melt when it is immersed in hot
tea, and yet the melting point of each
of its components is at least twice that

TAKING MEDICINE.
There Are Many Ways of Doing It, but
Only One Right Way.

mere Are many ways OF Doln9 IL, put
Only One Right Way.
Take Il fluid remedy from Il medicine
glass or from Il silver spoon Chemical
action of some liquids upon brass
creates liquid that would be fatal if
taken into the stomach, \ good rule
is never to take medicine from any
thing made of the cOurSer metals.
While pouring the medicine from
bottle to spoon or cup hold the bottle
SO that the label is uppermoSt. This
will prevent the medicine pouring over
the label and staining if not obIiterat-
ing it. This precaution, especially in
the case of liquids that might be harm
full if taken by mistake or in the
wrong quantity. is imperative.
Unless directions require you to take
medicines full strength. it is better to
dilute them half and half with water
Never take doses larger than those
specified in the directions Better that
they be smaller.
Under no circumstances take medi-
cine in the dark. The reason is OBJ
viOuS. Read the frequent news of
deaths of persons who have taken
pOisOnS by mistake.
Be sure never to pour medicine back
into the bottle. Never fail to shake
the bottle before taking Il dose OF the
contents If there he any sign of sedi-
ment. shake the more.
Unless directed otherwise you would
better take all capsules, pills or tab
lets with half glass Of water.
Never use liniment near an open
flame. for a liniment usually contains
some cOmbustible element. Always
rub a liniment into the skin until it is
nearly dry.
Be sure to brush the teeth after TAX
ing medicine, since many medicines
contain acids or iron, both of which
are injurious to the teeth.
Keep effervescent medicines in cool
place.-New York American.

GERMAN TRAP CAUSES
HEAVY LOSS TO BRITISH

how a British cavalry regiment suffered
severe loss through ruSe of the enemy.
The regiment, it seems, sighted Ger

decided the battery was unaware of their
presence, whereupon he ordered a cav
airy charge down the valley which lay
between them and the battery.
Unfortunately the bottom of the val
ley had been very clcverly studded with
concealed barhrd wire into which great
portion of the regiment rushed before
the front rank could give warning, I'm

HERO BLOWS up FORT.
Belgian Officer Dies in Effort to BaIk
Germans

The fort of Chaudfontaine at Iiege
was the scene of an act of herosm which
is almost without parallel The fort
commands the railroad from Aix-la-
Chapclle to Liege and the tunnel at
Chaudfontaine. Major Namcche was in
charge.
The place was subjected by the Ger
mans to continuous and violent bom-
bardment 1t was reduced to a heap of
ruins when Major Nameche blocked the
tunnel by sending in several locomo-
tives and wrccking them inside.
Then he determined that the German
flag should not float above even the
ruins of his fort. He lighted the fuses
leading to the mines about the fort, blew
up the powder magazine and persisted.
