FEW EAT REGULAR MEALS.
Natives of India Live on Less Thai

tant factor to be considered in approach

tenths per cent. of the people cannot read
or write. Four per cent. of the inhab-
itants eat regular meals The remainder
eat when they can and where they can.
The average native in India lives on less
food per diem than any other human be-
ing in the world.
Religious prcjudices are intense. Men
willingly die rather than submit to some
dismembering surgical operation, for did
not Allah command them to appear be-
fore him as they left him to come into
the world? The Buddhists will not eat
meat or take even medicine derived
from an animal. They died by millions
during the bubonic plague rather than
take a prophylactlc serum made from pep
sin and beef broth-because the pig from
which pepsin was obtained was unclean
to the Mohammedan and Hindu and the
killing of this animal and the bull from
which the broth was made was against
the tenets Of the Buddhistic faith. l knew

WHY TARIFF is HIGHER
Takes $4,000 Car to Carry Four
Tons of Passengers.

To a few thoughtess persons it is a
strange fact that the railroads should
charge two cents mile for the trans
portation OF passenger while q ton OF
freight. equal in weight to six pas
sengers, Is carried for the extremely
low average rate of seven mills per mile
One can scarcely realize how little
seven mills Is. for there Is no American
money made of this small denomination
There is much greater profit is carrying
ton of freight at this inconsiderable
figure than in carrying the equivalent

lights, lavatories. matrons. messengers,

ton OF baggage. with men to handle 1t.
and there is less responsibility in hauling
freight than in carrying human beings
Freight can get along without sumptuous
depots and magnificent terminals A
$500 box car will hold sixty tons OF
freight, whereas a $4,000 passenger
coach will carry only four tons Of peo-
pie.

are amazed at the degree Of luxury the
American travelling public demands and

HEAVY SEA SAVES OIL TANKER, AFIRE
 IN THE ATLANTIC

Washin gton, Aug. 2S.-The narrow escape of a ships company from death and the salvage Of the ship itself from destruction through the burning of cargo of S,597 tons of naptha and benzine, is recorded in the Canal Record
 LAHabra, one of the Union Oil com pany's fleet, caught fire last F'ebru- ary from a short circuit while the yes sel was in the North Atlantic, waIow- ing through a heavy sea. The con- tents of several of the gasoline tanks caught fire and the crew took to the boats, believing the vessel was doom ed. But, as the tanks exploded, the heavy seas breaking over the vessel washed in through the tank cover apertures and the water noated the oil out and thus extinguished the fire The ship was brought into port and the only loss of life was five of the crew, who had taken to one of the small boats.

CONNECTICUT SCENE OF GREAT
 MOVEMENT TO STRENGTHEN ALL
 LABOR UNIONS, GOMPERS AYERS
eriden Will Soon Be Seat of Campaign That Designed to Increase Membership of Organized Labor to 100000 Railroad Union is Projected By Elm ployes of New England Systems.

New York; Aug. 2S.-A general movement has been started to strengthen all labor organiza tions in the country affiliated with the Aneri- can Federation. At the same time the joint board of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Broth erhood of Locomotive Firernen has is- sued a call to all local bodies of engin- eers and firemen in New England urg- ing the formation of most powerful labor union, through which the indi- viduaI brotherhoods may ~ become stronger to fight for better working conditions and hours.
 President Samuel Gompers of the A. F. of L. announced an intensive organizing movement yesterday, to increase to three million the number of organized workers in important industries. Among the steps in that direction which MT. Gonpers mention ed were the New England labor move ment that is about to be started in Meriden, Conn, and the campaign of the United Mine Workers of America for increased organization.
 "As the trade union movement of America said MT. Gompers state nent, "has won victory after victory it has now reached the point when en- thusiasm and ideals are not inspired by opposition and persecution, but must be the result of conviction based upon understanding and visions of flu ture possibilities. Let each member of organized labor and every labor organization take up the intensive work of labor forward movement for America. Now for the three mill lion rnarK!"
 The Call to Railroad Men
 The call sent by the joint board of the BrotherhOodS of Engineers and Bremen to all local bodies of their or ganizations in New England was as follows:
 .1The Railroad Brotherhoodsg wher- ever organized, are beginning to real ize that all the orders must work to- gether in their struggle with the rail- roads in efforts to gain shorter hours, higher wages and better working con And further, to counteract the degrading effects of abused power of corporate wealth and the demorali- zation of labor saving machinery such as larger locomotives
