ONE DAY OF REST

The unanimous decision of the
court Of appeals upholding the con
additionally of the law securing to
employees in factories and mercantile
establishments a full day of rest every
week only confirms legally what has
long been recognized morally as one
OF the inalienable rights Of thosewho
labor. Happily the overwhelming
majority Of employers do not need to
ba told by the courts that the en-
ployees are entitled to tw~enty-four
consecutive hours of rest in every

4 E AND HEALTH
HINTS
By DIR. Il. j.. ALzlE
Food Specialist
"EAsY kEEpERs."

stockmen recognize certain
breeds Of animals as being
"easy Keepers" An easy keep
err eats less food than the aver
age animal because it utilizes
better the food that 1t does con-
sumo; there Is more complete
digestion and assimilation and
less waste. The same difference
exists in different animals. The
OK eats a large amount of food
In proportion to it's size and
growth, the goat a small amount.
The same difference exists in
human beings. Some eat large
rations though they do not gain
much in flesh, others eat little
but maintain weight. The stock
man finds 1t economical to Sc
lect easy keepers, and in these
times of high cost of living
"easy keepers" are quite desir-
able In tho ordinary household.
he average person eats far too
much and too complex a diet.
Thorough masticatior and oc-
casional fasting tend to reduce
the amount of food required.
This Is desirable not so much
for financial economy as for
physiological, for every unit of
energy expended in digestion
and elimination beyond what is
necessary, is waste.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-A band of Mexican outlaws, numbering 80, attempted to loot the postoffice and stores at Progreso, small town in Hidalgo county, Texas. The Mexicans gave battle to the United States cav airy summoned to the rescue of the residents of the town by the tele- graph operator before the Mexicans cut the wires. The battle lasted for several hours before the Mexicans were driven back across the border, leaving a number of their dead and wounded on the streets of the town. Captain Anderson, in command of the cavalry detachment, was severely wounded and one private was killed.
 The Mexicans, knowing that the operator had summoned assistance, had taken up positions from which they sent volley after volley into the approaching cavalry. The attempt at ambushing the American soldiers failed but it was at that time that the private was killed.

SENATOR CUMM|NS BOOM |s STARTED
Iowa Starts Campaign to Obtain the Presidential Nomination for
 Their Senator.

DIES MONIES, Sept. 25.-Senator Cummins definitely threw his hat into the ring last week when he permit ted a group of his friends to launch a boom for his nomination as can- didate for President next year. A committee of 100 prominent Iowa Republicans, now being selected by Charles A. Rawson, Chairman of the State Central Committee, will be in trusted with the task of pushing the Cummins boom in the West.
 Strenuous efforts will be made to foster the Cummins sentiment in the five Western States, which will hold their Presidential primaries early next year, in the belief that the other Western states will get into the Iowa band wagon.
 For many months it has been un- derstood that Cummings was a prob able candidate for the Presidency. He has intimated to friends that he would consider becoming a candidate in case there developed enough sen timent to justify his getting into the race. At a formal conference re- gently attended by thirty prominent Republicans, it was agreed that there was considerable sentiment in favor of an Iowa candidate.
 Senator Cummin's swing through the Northwest on his return home from a trip to Honolulu early in the sumner, is said to have convinced him that he has an excellent chance of capturing the Western states in the national convention. With this support he would go before the East as the most prominent contender for the G. o. P. nomination.
 Announcement has been made that the Progressives will have complete ticket in the field next year. George e. White, of Nevada, who ran for Governor last year, may be the lead ing candidate again this year.

FRENCH AGAIN TAUGHT
 IN ALSATION SCHOOLS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-An Amer ican correspondent who recently re- turned from France states that the most impressive feature of the Frer oh reconquest of Alsace, as indicating the confidence of government and people that the occupation will be permanent, is the reopening of the schools giving instruction in the French language.
 He describes a session of the pri- mary school at St. Awarin, where the little ones of new generation have taken up the tasks, the interruption of which, nearly half century ago, has been pictured so poignantly by Daudee in his La Derniere Classe."
 In the first class described, it is still necessary to conduct the Ian guage lesson in German, as the chill dren understand it better for the purpose. It is a class of girls.

ALLIES ASK HELP FROM THE M|kAD0
 e{ a-AF. ... -. -. Iapan May Send Strong Army Against Germans in Russia and Warships
 to the Dardanelles.

TOKYO, Sept. 25.-It is reported hare that the Allies have asked Japan to sand troops to aid in overcoming the Turkish and Teutonic forces guarding the Dardanelles as we'll as to send a strong army to reinforce the retreating Russians. The Japa- nese government is reported to be fayorably considering the proposition as the concessions offered by the Rus sian government for help and has been liberal in the extreme.
 That the military party of Japan, which is in practical control of the Mikado's government, will favor sending warships and troops to the Dardanelles is not doubted, and the campaign will be welcomed by the of- ficers of the Japanese navy.
 It is believed that the Allies fear that the German advance through Russia may not be checked before Petrograd is reached unless a large Japanese force is sent against the Teutons. The Russian field forces are said to be demoralized by their long series of disasters and the new army being created by Russia will re- quire months of training before being ready for service at the front.

American Doctor Says Men Are Bet: ter Fed, Clothed and Eqaiiipped iiIlpsdt
 Than Any Other Troops

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Dr. Walk CT, Jr., who has just returned to this city, after serving six months with the Red Cross in France, states that Great Britain has two million men in France, and expresses the belief that the Allies have started the cam paign to force the Germans from their trenches, where the deadlock has existed for many months.
 Dr. Walker says that while Great Britain was slow to move at first, and were hampered by red tape, that the officials have affairs strengthened out and the men are better fed, clothed and equipped than any soldiers he has ever seen.
 That the Germans will never cap ture Calais is the belief of Dr. Walk CT, because the British have it heav- lily entrenched for miles and have one million men encamped around the city. In the first line of defense there are eight trenches, then a mile of barbed wire entanglements, and an other eight trenches, again a mile of barbed wire and eight trenches, and at the rear of that thex have S5,000 cavalry who have never had scratch. As they could not be used in the field Gen. Sir John French ordered them dismounted and put at trench work in front of Calais. There are 75o,ooo more British troops includ- ing a large force of cavalry, who are with the French army near Argonne.
