TonsiIitis From Bad Water.

That enlarged tonsiis are generally
due to drinking impure water is the
contention of Or. r. Lucas Benham Of
Exeter, South Australia. He says that
in every case he has seen the child

able to get filtered or boiled water
substituted his patients have improved

1t.
The next speaker introduced was

ganizing the molders and also the
miners down ID Virginia He pre-
d 'cted success for he local sI1iaers

ing to hoodwink the machin1sts IN
coming back to work. He said
that the machinists were not in
hurry about winning the strike
down there and that they are now
predicting that the strike would be
won next summer. They are not
afraid of the cold winter because
the winter is alout half gone and
that many of MS men were cow fig
uring on getting out their tents to
go camping along the river.
Mr.. James Henderson Of Detroit
drifted into the city and was quiet
ly seated in the audience. The
Chairman called upon Henderson
for a few remarks and cheers greet
ed him when he mounted the stage
Henderson is also an organizer for
the machinists and is doing some
excellent work for his organization.
Nearly eight hundred people
were seated in the auditorium and
not over FIVE left before the meet

avail, as the Niles company has
never agreed 10 conceede a single

no further overtures to those com

The total number of men effected
by the rike is 1860, This does
not include other trades that are
laid off or worked short time as a
result Of the strike. Ont Of a total
number which came cut ON strike
about 240 men have returned to
work n the various shops, the larg-
est number being at work at the
Niles 460 men have secured posi-

600 men still in the city who are
on strike, Ct this number $50 will
leave for other jobs between now
and January 15th. The balance
of men will be retained here and
taken care Of financially until the
strike is concluded.

DURING WAR
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, June 18.-An official re-
port on labor conditions in Germany
during the year 1914 has just been
issued. 1t shows that the total mum
Der of strikes which occurred in
1914 after the outbreak of the war was
"a, involving only LOO work people.
They were all settled promptly and
not a single strike was under way at
the end of the year.
In consequence of the practical
cessation of strikes after the begin
ming of the war, the total number of
workmen involved in labor disputes
during the year was $4,000, as against
An average of $4,000 for the five years
preceding.

strides made in popularizing educa
ton that Japan like the United States
is beginning to find difficulty in plac-
ing graduates of it's universities. Col
leges, governmental and private are
crowded with students who are unable
to obtain lucrative positions they
have dreamed of. Not enough places
exist in Japanese commercial and
professional life to meet the demands
of the steadily increasing number of
graduates. This years graduates of
the law college of the Imperial Uni
versity at Toxic number 450 and Of
this number only $50 have their future
positions secured.
Statistics show that from 1878 to
1902 students were able to find places
lin governmental service or in bust
ness without difficulty. Since 1903,
however, the situation has entirely
changed. Fifty percent of the gradu
ates have had to wait for one to three
years to find employment. The large
cities are already overstocked with
lawyers. Some doctors of law are
even serving as policemen and others
are experiencing great hardships in
earning living.

ATHENS, JUNE IA great pro
portion of officer losses to the

the Turkish snipers who have specific
instructions to pick off officers. A
correspondent with the French force
writes:
"The danger to officers in this
part of the peninsula from snipers is
very great. Parties of ten or twenty
Turkish sharpshooters crawl past our
lines at night and either hide in tree
or get into an abandoned trench or
shell hole. There they lie concealed

from view, waiting for an opportunity
to snipe at some isolated officer pass
ing within range of their rifle. They
are instructed to disregard firing upon
private soldiers if it involves any
danger to themselves, but to miss no
chance to bring down an officer.
"In many cases the sniper's eager
ness for this duty is assisted by
stories of the huge loot to be obtained
from the pockets of the officers. Some
of the snipers who have been caught
were found with lrage sums Of British
and French money, as we'll as other
