Voters seem to realize the vital consequence to the outcome of the Dillon & Douglas Butter Wrapper and the Heclzer Flour and Cereal propositions, judging from the way these articles of redemption are coming in. The ; many dealers selling this Butter should make it convenient for every voter without exception to serve it at his table, having the twin satisfaction of casting a nlcst telling number of votes and of consuming the very. choicest Butter product on sale anywhere. The foundation upon which to build the millions of votes yet to come should be the label or re- demption features such as Heck CTS Flour Sacks and Cereal packages.

Gasoline Takes Fearful
Death Toll in Michigan

An advertisement is appearing IN
many newspapers throughout Michigan
which advises housewives to save money
by doing their own dry cleaning, this to
be accomplished by adding certain In
gredient to two gallons OF gasoline
placing both in q wash boiler or dishpan
to complete the cleaning outfit.
So alarmed is John T. Winship, state
commissioner of insurance, by this ad-
vertisement that he has written letters
to the Michigan newspapers urging them
to warn the women of the state against
this mixture, fearing that it may be the
cause of many terrible deaths. He says
that there is no danger in combining this
particular chemical with gasoline, but 1t
MUST be done in the open air; further
more that the majority of women have
no conception of the danger Of gasoline
inside the home. Since the beginning OF
last year twenty women and children
have been killed by the careless use
of this explosive material.

BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-That
unemployment is problem which
congress must seriously consider,
is set out clearly in the results made
public today OF an Investigation
made by the Bureau Of Labor Sta
tistics OF the u. S. Department OF
Labor.
A third Of the workers In the
Pacific Coast and mountain cities
are out OF work. Some have no
work at all. while others are on
part time. In San Diego In June
and July, 29.2 per cent Of the city's
workers were on part time. while
1871 per cent had no work at all.
Unemployment was worse in the
cities than'in the country and worse
in the larger cities.
The inquiry covered the cities OF
Butte, Los Angeles, Oakland, Og-
den, Portland, Sacramento. Salt
Lake City, San Diego. San Francis
CO, Seattle. Spokane and Tacoma.
The Department did not attempt
to canvass every worker in these
cities, but enough were canvassed
In each city to be sure OF the pro-
portion. A total Of 36,537 families
were personally visited, in which
there were found to be 4s.333 wage
earners. OF these. IL was found
that 6,37s were wholly unemployed,
while 9,971 were working on part
time. The total unemployed were
1873 Ter cent of the total number
OF wage earners visited, while the
part time workers were 200 per
cent. Taking the unemployed and
the part time unemployed together
II Is found that 33.1 per cent or one
third OF all the workers were a. the
time OF the investigation June and
July, 1879 either out Of work or
earning only part pay.
The highest percentage OF I'M
employment was found In Portland
Oregon. where 20 per cent OF the
wage earners were out OF work
and 17.3 per cent were working part
time only. The lowest percentage
was found in Ogden. Utah. where
only As per cent were unemployed
and 1913 per cent working part
time. The cities showing the larg
est percentages of part time work
ers we're: San Diego, 29.2; Oak
land 26.9; San Francisco. 25.4: Los
Angeles Gal: Sacramento. 23.7.
