Much of Hens Labors Vain.

Between the hen and consumer
there is a waste of $2OO,OO0,OOO worth
Of eggs each year.
This was the testimony given at
the attorney generals "ogg trust" in
quiry by William Mann If the law de-
partment of the New York Central
railroad, who read letter from the
department of agriculture to support
his claim.
According to these figures the
American egg crop is worth $70O.0OO,-
900 a year, and $30.OO0,0OO is lost
through breakage in transit.
The egg as the hen lays it is almost
invariably good egg, ran the evil
dence, but one out of every ten the
hen lays for market is broken on the
way there. Three of the remaining
nine eggs are added before they reach
the consumer, and 40 per cent of the
eggs are good only for strong pal
ates or tanning leather.

Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often

Il gave package of Grape-Nuts to
q neighbor whose 3-year-old child was

time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts
and cream greedily and the mother
continued the good work, and it was
not long before a truly wonderful
change manifested itself in the child's
face and body. The results were re-
markable, even for Grape-Nuts.
Both husband and use Grape Nuts
every day and keep strong and we'll

boys you can find in a days march"
Many mothers instead of destroying
the childrens stomachs with candy
and cake give the youngsters a hand
full Of Grape-Nuts when they are beg

sweets. The result is soon shown in
greatly increased health, strength and

easier position was made for Dillon
than he had before and he held this
for some years. He had learned lot
about steel making, and developed in
to very valuable man. His health
was none too good, however, and the
Carnegie people thought that he
should retire.
Retired With $5ooooo.
1t was a shock to him when he
heard the announcement, but it was

day. At various times some Of the
men who had been influenced by Dill
Ion wavered. No one did more than
the clergyman to hold them in line.
AS he counseled Dillon, he counseled
them. To surrender to force was un-
manly, he declared.
OF all the Homestead establishment,
the only mill that kept going through
out the strike was that small one over
which Dillon had charge. The force
was inadequate, but 1t kept the fires
going and 1t kept turning out material.
Dillon worked night and day, resting
only when he was exhausted. He came
of a fighting stock and several times
when he and his men were attacked
he had to battle for his life. He gave
as good as he received. Once he mar
rowly escaped death and was rescued
from a mob unconscious.
After martial law was invoked the
danger was lessened, but the strug-
gle was long drawn out and the VIC
tory of the Carnegie company was
dearly won, for it left feuds and Bit
terness that lasted for years.
Rewarded by the Company.
In all that strike no man did more
for the Carnegie company than Patrick
Dillon. The fact that he kept his mill
going had a powerful effect Had the
strikers succeeded in closing down
that solitary mill, some of the leaders
think to this day, they would have
triumphed.
When the strike ended, Dillon was a
wreck. His body was covered with
scars from the wounds he had received
in the battles with the strikers and his
strength was sapped by the long strain
to which he had been subjected. May
be the Carnegie people thought his
life would be none too safe until some
of the passion the strike had engen-
dered had subsided. At any rate, he
was called into the Office and given
$4,000 with orders to go to Europe and
travel or rest until all that money
was spent. He never had so much
money at one time before in his life
and his wife took charge of it for him.

II Bladder BotherS You.


When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys Is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance Of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma'
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with llthia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and

are more than sixty vocabularies in
Brazil and in Mexico the Nahua is

keep the men busy, but it was more
difficult for him to chalk up the rec.
ords of what ore they hauled. The
three RS were embarrassing to Dillon,
for he had little schooling in Ireland.
His fingers were gnarled and twisted by
labor and a pencil or piece of chalk
was harder to manipulate than a pick,
shovel or barrow.
1t is hard for a grown man to set
about to educate himself, but Dillon
did so. Night after night he sat at a
table in his home and worked with
book and pencil to master simple prob

learned he never forgot.

He went along happy and contented
until the Homestead strike. Then he
had to decide whether he would Join
hands with the men or stick by his
employers. He had been made sort
of superintendent in one of the mills
by this time. It did not take long for
him to reach a decision. He went to
the clergyman at whose church he
worshiped.
Everything l have in the world
owe to Mr.. and Mrs. Phipps," he said.
'Mr. Phipps is Mr.. Carnegie's partner.
If should not stand by him in this
emergency would be ashamed to
look him in the face again. It is the
first opportunity have had to pay
him back for all the kindness he has
done for me. Is 1t not SOP"
The clergyman told him it was so.
He told him more. It was Dillon's
duty to do all in his power for his
benefactor. The mere giving of his
individual service was not enough.
Dillon was more than popular with
his men. He went among them and
told them plainly and simply his own
story and how he had sought counsel
and direction from his pastor. 1t was
the sort Of statement that had more
direct appeal than polished oratory.
Some men who were bent on strik-
ing hesitated, and then decided not to
go out. On the day the great strike
started, more men remained on duty
in the mill over which Dillon had
charge than in any other part of the
mammoth Homestead plant
The strike was one of the fiercest in
the history of America. The compare
lively few men who remained at work
were shot at, stoned and beaten.

Bill Hits Tipping System.
The tipping Of walters, porters, bar
bers or other individuals would be-
come a serious offense should one of
the new house bills become law. 1t
provides a fine of $1O0 to any firm
which permits tips to be received by
its employees. Employees would be sub
ject to a $50 fine for receiving a tip
fee and the giver would be liable to
like penalty. Thus the tipping system
is attacked by the new bill from three
angles, since the giver, the receiver
and the employing individual or corpo-
ration all would be subject to pen
atty for violation.
