Good =? Luck on Our Street.

"We've been having lots of good luck
among the farmers on our street this
week." said F. W. North to the Demo
crat, and he then enumerated the items.
Sunday morning, the 18th, cow of
Mr.. North's, for which he paid S65 re.
Gently, was found down and unable to
get up. She had calf about two weeks
old, and was supposed to be suffering
from milk fever, and was treated &C.
cordingly, but on Tuesday an end was
put to her suffering. Examination
showed that one hind leg was broken at
the hip. 1t is supposed that she had
overeaten of apples blown off by Satur-
days gale, and was so unsteady that she
slipped.
A day or two later as q. E. Judd was
driving in his COWS, one of them made a
quick grab at an apple tree that she
passed, and took An apple whole into her
throat, shutting off her wind, and she
died 80 quickly that she could not be
bled, but they bad to take the skin of
and bury the carcass.
And for the third item, Mrs. Annie
Wheeler had two good hogs which were
to be sold and delivered for shipment on
Monday, and one morning the last of
the week one of them was found dead in
the pen.
Misfortunes didn't come singly in that
neighborhood last week.

Thousands of persons drag along
from morning until night without energy
or ambition. They are not sick enough
to 60 to bed but they lack the zsst of
life."
Such was the statement of the Tanlac
health expert, who has created wide
spread comment by his original ideas.
He continued:
"You can't have good health if you
have poor digestion.
1.-THE stomach is the most important
organ in the body and the most abused.
The large majority of people do not take
sufficient time to eat their food. They
give no thought to what foods are good
for them. They simply swallow what is
convenient and pleasant.
1.-THE stomach tells quickly when it is
abused through over. eating or over
drinking. When it warns, take instant
heed or dire results will follow.
"a disordered stomach brings on
headaches. 1t causes constipation, bill
iousness, indigestion, nervous disorders
and other ills.

herbs and berries gathered in all parts Of

RIGHT TO PICKET DEFENDED

Tacoma, Wash.-Anti-union interests
are supporting an anti-picketing meas
ure which will be voted on by the peo-
pie OF this State at the general election
next month
r. B. Hartley non-union shop ad-
vocate, debated this question with Sec
retary Taylor OF the State Federation OF
Labor at meeting held in the Com
mercial Club. The former devoted
much OF his time in making the usual
attack on trade unions and overlook
ing the principle of the question being
debated.
Secretary Taylor said. in part:
"The pending bill is serious and I'M
warranted invasion OF the liberties OF
wolves a principle that is subversive
OF the welfare and liberty OF all citizens.
The organized workers OF Washington
must make the fight for the cause OF
liberty, humanity and justice. They
must defeat this measure in the No
vember election.
"The right to picket is essential to
securing an understanding or even a
hearing for an industrial dispute CO.
operation among workers must be
based upon knowledge of facts. Only
by word OF mouth or some device that
appeals to the eye Immediately, or some
advertising agency, can workers or
strikers disseminate effectively facts
and principles involved in their contests
or the justice OF demands upon employ
ers This measure, which denies the
workers the right to maintain, carry or
transport on any sidewalk, street, public
place or private property any banner,
sign, transparency, writing or printing
deprives the workers of effective means
OF getting facts before the public: ,.5
"There can be nothing wrongful in
securing a hearing Of the facts in a
strike Therefore, as citizens they have
d right to use public places for this
legitimate activity necessary for fur
thering the welfare of human beings.
"If, in the process OF 'picketing,
speaking or publishing in relation to
labor troubles, working men commit
violence, there is ample remedy at law.
But to enact a statute which denies to
them rights which ordinary judgment
dictates to be proper and necessary,
amounts to an outrage that might easily
become very real danger to industrial
peace. To deny men their natural
rights promotes violence, not peace
and quietude. 1t is a physical impos-
sibility to clamp down lid upon a COM
munity seething under oppression with
nut causing an explosion. The tighter
