Leading men OF organized labor, while
disposed to give John d. Rockefeller
credit for doing something to ameliorate
the condition OF his 10000 coal mine
employees in Colorado and confess his dere-
liction in the past, do not believe his
"own union" of miners and company Of
ficials will prove lasting palliative.
From his cell in the Las Animas coun-
ty Jail at Trinidad, John r. Lawson.
executive board member OF the United
Mine Workers of America, and highest
official of that body in Colorado, issued

Recent Opinion of State Official Gave
Liability Insurance Companies Priv
ilege of Writing Compensation.

State Insurance Commissioner Tag
CART having ignored the protests OF the
Ohio State Federation OF Labor and the

Some time ago the Federation asked
Attorney General Turner if he was in

Federation could expect his cooperation
in a suit to test the correctness of this
decision
Attorney General Turner has written
the Federation to the effect that he il

In spite OF the governors effort to get

SUITABLE FOR FLESHY MAID
Many Fabrics Especially Adapted to Her, and Some She Should Be
 Careful to Avoid.

The girl who is too fleshy should never wear shiny stuffs such as satin. They catch the light on the curve of your figure and make you look much steuter than you really are Soft dull stuffs are the right things for you.
 Never wear blouse of one stuff and the skirt of another, but always have whole dresses or costumes. 4 contrast ing vest collar or front on a dark dress is quite allowable
 Wear stripes or plain stuffs rather than checks or lowered patterns. Don't have contrasting belt--it cuts you in two and, by taking away your height, increases your apparent width.
 Wear becoming collars. High ones are very unbecoming to thick throat and, besides. you are nearly sure to har a pretty neck-most stout people have-so you may as well show it.
 Let your indoor skirts touch the ground always. Have them made close-ftting on the hips with a good flare out at the foot. A skirt which draws in round the feet always in. ereases the apparent size of the hips.

The Warriors Lance.

The lance has been more or less ridieuled by military experts, on the ground that it is out of date and cum bersome, but the weapon still has it's advocates, who point out it's value in shock tactics and in cavalry charges In the German troops. for instance, the lance in the hands of the Prussian uhlans remains a formidable weapon.
 Recently attention has been invited to the fact that the lance point often makes too deep a wound for the shaft to be withdrawn quickly, and that therefore the lancer must run the risk of having it wrenched from his grasp in the charge. In view of this, experi- ments have been made with a new kind of lance carrying ball below the base of the lance head. It is said that the new arm is just as effective in dis abling an enemy and is free from many disadvantages.

PLEASURES OF FILM ACTING
Man Had Been Told It Was Bore, But on Experience Found It
 Far Otherwise.

Say" said Harry Mestayer, they told me film acting was a bore. Take it from me, it's a cinch. 1 went to a studio today to be photographed in a production. First. the director gave me a cigarette to smoke. Then he handed me a glass of beer. I finished four cigarettes and four glasses of beer before the scene was taken. Next very pretty actress was ushered in and told to kiss me. She gave me a rather cold earess. and the director he was a fine fellow, believe me demonstrated
 Whats the matter?' he asked. Don't you like MT. Mestayer?'
 Why, I've only just met him. she replied.
 Well, kiss him as though you meant it.
 She did We had to rehearse it five times and then do it while the camera was working. I understand here will be more cigarettes, beer and kisses tomorrow. I'm going to give that director a box of cigars if he puts in enough rehearsals. The pic ture business! Say, This is the life. J Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph

KEEP HANDS FROM CAMPING
Or if They Are Now In Bad Condition Here Are Remedies That
 VIII Help.

The first chilly day Is the day one should begin to wage war against ehappea hands. If you can keep your hands from becoming chapped in the transitional weather between hot and cold, you will have little difficulty with them later on, for 1t is in the first cold days that they are especially sen- sitiye to cold. Still, 1t is never too late.
 Chapped hands are almost always caused by insufficient drying after washing, or perhaps the water was icy cold and very hard, or used too hot. Both extremes are bad for the skin.
 To preserve the hands in good con dition in cool weather, they should. whenever possible, be washed in tepid water, and if this is softened by a teaspoonful of borax so much the better.
 Be sure to use soap of good quail ity, and when drying the hands take the precaution of rubbing each finger separately.
 If the hands are rubbed over once a day with a slice of lemon and little cold cream, or If mutton tallow is rubbed into them thoroughly before going to bed at night, there will be little danger of the skin becoming chapped or rough.

PRETTY HEAD COVERING THAT IS
 EASY TO MAKE.
Best, Perhaps, In Rabbit Yarn or Saxony-Succes Will Be Sure If One Will Follow the Direc-
 tions Given Here.

How cunning the little baby bonnets are knitted in rabbit yarn or saxony, and so easy to makei Indeed, anyone who can do the plain knitting stitch can make a bonnet by following direc- tions:
 First, 1t Is necessary to find the face size. This will be 12, If or Is inches, according to the age of the child to wear 1t. Four skeins of two-fold sax ony wool will be required. white or pink, as preferred. To make the bon net cast on S2 stitches, using No. ? bone needles. Knit in ridges for 14 inches, or TOT ridges, and bind off
 To make the band round the neck of the crown, with steel needle pick up one stitch from the 107 ridges. Start on the right side and decrease to 54 stitches by knitting two stitches together to end of row Knit 13 ridges on these 54 stitches, then bind of If the bonnet is white, make the turn back flap of white satin or corded silk "a strip of ribbon about 312 or inches wide will answer Decorate with embroidered rosebuds, or, if this is beyond the knitter's skill, bought embroidery could be applied. The outer edge should be trimmed with a frill of narrow val lace and the flap lined with bit of pink india or other soft silk.
 The knitting is laid in three plaits at the ears to shape the bonnet, the stitches to be concealed under TO- settes of pink ribbon.
 The raw edge of the flap is turned under the knitted edge and a cap lin ing of soft white silk fitted in. Then a ruching of lace is sewed in around the face, and lastly the ties of white or pink ribbon are added

STOP EATING MEAT IF
 KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take a Glass of Salts to Clean Kid neys If Bladder Bothers You
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority. because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress. particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu- matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir- ritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid- neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

NOISE AS A FACTOR IN WAR
Those Accustomed to 1t Make Better Soldiers Than Those Who
 Are Not.

There has been growing in recent years a belief that the soldier from the rural districts is not as good a campaigner as his brother-in-arms from the cities. From Europe there has just come one comment from an excellent authority bearing out in way, so far as the British troops are concerned, this conclusion,
 An English sergeant major, q class that is the flower of the British army owing to their system of training, and who is Great Britain's professional soldier par excellence, has expressed the opinion as the result of the Bel gian and French campaign that the regiments recruited in the cities are proving the best on the battlefields because they are accustomed to noise.
 Tt is the quantity of the German shells that is having this effeet," he said, and hellish noise racks the nerves beyond the breaking point for those who live away from the big cities
 Mayor Gaynor wrote in one of his inimitable letters that he could work in boiler factory. Most city dwell lers have to labor under conditions closely approximating such a condi- tion. No one ever believed anything good could be said Of the ding-dong concussions assailing the civic ear; and yet we learn by this testimony fbo+ nf lyip1 hnanr00 O a factor in war.-New York Press.

A "" Bare Neck.

Perhaps the most interesting thing of all is the odd way in which the new stocks are worn. In days gone by their use was limited largely to a closed neck shirt or severe tailored blouse. Now, however, they are worn with various V-neck waists, simply fastened around the neck. leaving the "V" portion bare. Thus the stock Is rendered equally adaptable either for a low or for a closed neck waist.
