Before the Toothbrush.

Before the invention of toothbrushes
people used to clean their teeth with
linen. This is evident from William
Vaughan's Fifteen Directions to Pre-
serve Health published 1902, in which
the author tells those who want TO
keep the teeth white and uncorrupt''
that they must wash the mouth after
every meal. "sleepe with the mouth
somewhat open 80 and In the morn.
ing take linnen-cloth and rub the
teeth well within and without" In
yaughan's time several varieties of
tooth powder were known. the recipe
for one Of the simplest being as fol-
lows: "Burne a piece of Corke till ii
looks like a Coale, then take it out OF
the Eyre and 1t will fall to ashes
wherewith rub your teeth."-London

COMMEND ORGANIZATION.
All Members of Industrial Commission
Favor Trade Unions.

Favor Trade Unions.
In the midst of the numerous con-
dieting and disjointed conclusions
reached by members of the federal
commission on industrial relations, fol-
lowing its long study of the subject,
one point OF general agreement stands
ont conspicuously. says the Chicago
News All the nine members are agreed
that organization of wageworkers. as
we'll as organization Of employers, is
eommendable and useful.
Naturally the four members selected
to represent the labor element express
this view. In the special report signed
by Professor Commons Of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and Mrs. Hartman
of New York, who represented the
general public, it is asserted that 1.-The
labor unions are the greatest Ameri-
canizing agencies in the country" The
members of the commission who rep
resented the employers of labor frank
ly recognize the evils for which some
employers are responsible In their rela-
tons with wageworkers These mem
DelS COuCluut lAdl VI SdulHdllOuS Vi
employers must purge themselves of
such abuses. They say, If we were
wage earners we would be unfonists."
1t further appears that they would be
determined advocates OF trade union
ism in every sense of the word. This
report, however, does not fail to call
attention to the abuses for which some
trade union members have been re
sponsible.
In short, the representatives of the
employers declare that serious abuses
exist on either side in the Industrial
field and that these abuses ought to be
removed. Then strong organizations
of employers. dealing honestly, openly
and sympathetically with strong or
ganizations of wageworkers. would do
much to allay Industrial unrest. THE
ideal day In the industrial world" it is
true, will be reached when all labor
disputes are settled as a result OF rea-
son and not as a result of force.'
Possibly this does not go to the root
OF the trouble. More elaborate sug-
gestions of socialistic remedies are
made by other members of the COM
mission. Nevertheless, the idea Is
wholesome and good and fundamental
in so far as the direct relations of
workers and their employers are con-
cerned Its adoption would be un-
deniably beneficial.

Curious Tricks of an Old Time invssti.
gator of Electricity.
III. g. Wells has called attention In
~'The World Set Free" to a half for
gotten worthy who, in ''the SPACIOUS
times of great Elizabeth" loomed large
indeed. Science, TO be sure, does not
forget him, and one great English poet,
Dryden, has proclaimed with resonant
emphasis:
Gilbert shall live until loadstones cease
TO draw.
Nevertheless how many young stu
dents of electricity today ever heard
OF William Gilbert?
ut was Gilbert, Queen Elizabeth's
court physician, who first puzzled his
brains with rubbed amber and bits of
glass and silk and shellac," says Mr..
Wells, land so began the quickening
Of the human mind to the existence OF
this universal presence. And even
then the science of electricity remained
mere little group of curious facts for
200 years, connected perhaps with mag
netism-a mere guess that-perhaps
with the lightning. . Except for
the lightning conductor, it was $50
years before electricity stepped out OF
the cabinet of scientific curiosities into
the life of the common man"
Gilbert's theories and guesses about
magnetism-he concluded that the
world is vast spherical magnet-were
serious and farreaching, and he en-
bodied them In a book with q ponder
GUS Latin title-the first great book on
physics published in England. But his
experiments were chiefly of the curio
and plaything sort. An English col
lection of EliZabethan letters and an
ecdotes of court life quotes the opin-
ion of provincial young lady of quail

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
STRENGTH IN UNIONS.

Women are learning the old
story of strength in union. They
are developing u sense of respon-
sibility, keen appreciation of
justice and their industrial rights
and knowledge of the way to en-
joy and maintain them.
They have learned they must
achieve their own freedom-that
they must work out their own
betterment. Others can help,
but the women themselves must
do the work.
The greatest thing about hu-
man freedom is the self reliant,
resourceful spirit. conscious of
its responsibility and able and
unafraid to accept the results of
its own determinations. This is
the spirit unionism instilled into
women workers. rs.-American Fed

LIBERTY FOR SAILORS.
Under American Law the Seaman Ia
No Longer a Slave.

No Longer a Slave.
Yes, 1t is true the Sixty-third CON
gress passed acts of legislation which
will be remembered when nearly all
others enacted by it have been forgot
ten or have been superseded. When In
the Clayton act it laid down as def
mite principle of policy on the part of
the United States that 'the labor of q
human being is not commodity or an
article Of commerce" it distinguished
between persons and things in such a
way as no congress or other laWmak-
ing body did at any earlier peri
cd. The labor power of a human be-
ing is the most personal of all things
on earth. 1t grows with the human
growth; it decays in sickness and old
age and ceases at death: ii cannot be
divided from the possessor thereof: II
cannot be separated from the person
and If the judiciary had recognized
this distinction between persons and
things. between the labor power and
the products thereof. there would have
been little necessity for any amend
ment to the Sherman antitrust law.
This same principle runs through the
so called 'seamen's act" 1t makes
the seaman for the first time In seven
centuries the owner of his own body:
it makes it possible within the 1uris-
dfction of the United States for these
seamen. not only on vessels OF the
United States. but on all foreign yes
sells, to assert their rights as human
beings, as persons created in the image
OF God. endowed with certain inaliena-
bic rights, among which are the rights
of liberty, equality and the pursuit of
happiness. = Andrew Furnseth, Presi-
dent international Seamen's Union.

VILE, n. Y.-The federal council has
issued it's long-expected order resu-

is fixed at 220 marks $3.50 per ton for
the Berlin district, at 2l5 marks
(s53.75) for the eastern district ana zoo
marks (s57.5O) for the western district
The price of wheat is fixed at ~
marks (S1O) above that of rye. and be-
ginning with certain date the regu-
lations provide for bi-Weekly increase
of 1k marks (37 cents) per ton.
Barley, to be used as fodder, and oats
are placed at uniform price per ton
throughout the empire. These prices
remain below the average of last years
figures. The regulations also PROVIDE
for the creation of an imperial fodder
board, whose duty shall be to supply
all classes of cattle, swins, fowl ralsers
with oats, barley and molasses substi-

TURKS CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
OF CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT

Reports from other large cities of
the empire show that the celebration
vas carried out generally. after the
fashion followed in the capital. A fea-
ture at Adrianople was a military re-
view attended by the heir apparent.
The newspapers, commenting on the
occasion, review the history of the
present war, asserting that Turkey
participation was unavoidable and
wise, because only through giving
Turkey a concrete basis information
ally could it's people hope to enter upon
an era favorable to economic and social
development. This also was the burden
of many of the addresses made
