Cheap Living" Cry Opposed by
Editor.

Billings, Mont, March 10. =
Editor Buck of the Yellowstone
Labor News believes workers should
pay more attention to higher wages
and less to the many cheap living
movements abroad in the land. He
says:
About every so often we read
about some one who has solved the
problem of cheep living and every
capitalist paper in the country gives
the cheap living fanatic oodle of
space in which to set forth in much
detail, his recipe for cheap living.
There is an object ia this cheap
living agitation.
The cheaper the workers can
be induced to live the cheaper they
will be compelled TO work.
The wages of the workers are,
as a general rule, regulated by the
cost of what is actually necessary
to furnish the three things neces-
sary to life, i. e. food, clothing
and shelter
IF the worker will consent to
get along with less food, less cloth
ing and less shelter, thus making
it possible for him to live on less
wages, be will soon find that the
employers have taken advantage OF
mis- consent to the lower standard
and they will compel him to also
accept E lower wage
The only exc, ption to this rule
is in the case of the organized
workers. Through their CO 'lective
strength they are able to demand
a higher wage and as a consequence
enjoy better standard Of living
The workers should disregard
entirely all attempts to foist on
them the cheap living idea ard
devote their attention to the ques-
tion of how to solve the problem,
not of how to live cheap but how
to live we'll.

FaVOrS Restriction.

Washington, March 10, Alex
ander z. Moore, owner of the Pitts
burgh Leader, who was in the city
last week, is quoted as follows by a
local newspaper on the question cf
immigration
we must become for FIVE years
a nation of selhshness that we may
guard ourselves against the cheap
labor Of Europe. Not only in this
must we perfect ourselves, but we
must restrict our immigration. We
ought to put up a sign on Ellis
island so high and so luminous that
ali nations could read it. Standing
room only. There will be a rush
when the fighting is over in Europe
a rush for America, and then we
shall have to become a selfish ma
tion. We shall have to keep EN-
out We wouldn't t invite into OH
homes persons who have the
measles, and we can afford to take
chance with those of the stricken
nations Of Europe, much as we may
sympathize with them

The Careful COnSumptiV8

Practically 80 per cen of tubercu-
| losis is spread from one person to
another py discharges from the
lungs and throat through the mouth
A small amount of disease may be
caused ov injection from tubercu-
lous sores or from milk of infected
cattle, but the overwhelming percen-
! tage of infection is carried from one
person to another chiefly by the
spit or spray discharged from the
mouth and nose.
The Importance, then, of des-
troying utterly all such spit is evil
dent 10 anyone, especially when it
is recalled that single discharge
of sputum from an advanced case
Of tuberculosis may carry billions
of germs. That such spit can easily
be destroyed in ways that will pre-
vent infection, is also evident.
The germs Of tuberculosis are
easily killed by heat. The most ef-
fective method therefore, of hand
ling the sputum is to have the pa
tient use a receptacle that can be
burned. Paper sputum cups for
this purpose can be purchased at
almost any drug store. Paper nap
kins which can be put in paper
bag and burned atregular intervals
are also good. Pieces of cheese
cloth or similar cheap material
which can be burned are preferable
TO handkerchiefs.
Any consumptive who carefully
follows these precautions will do
much to keep his desease from
spreading TO other members of his
family and to his associates. But
besides these, in order to be safe
and to insure against infection Of
others, the following rules should
be obsesved:
/ Always sleep alone in room
with plenty of light and air.
2. Cover the mouth with cloth
or paper when coughing or sneez-

A new method of utilizing coal
In competition with oil fuel is being
tried at Vancouver. Those con
Quoting the experiments claim that
crushed cea! can be supplied to
steam producing furnaces by the
same method that oil is utilized.
The new process is of special inter
est to British Columbia, as it is pro.
posed to apply it for smelling pur-
poses in the big mining plants of
the province. 1t is claimed that
seven tons of copper ore can be
smelted with one ton of coal by this
process, whereas formerly the ratio
was ton of coal to a ton of ore.

National Preparedness

New York, March 10.-The
Washington correspondent of the

to "federalize' the state militia
unless there is included provision
against It's further use IN the sap-
preston of strikes. Another de-
claration by the A. F. of L ex-
ecutive is that the burden of costs
for increasing armament mnst be
distributed equally among all
classes, instead of bearing most
heavily on the wage earners and
consumers, as heretofore.
The fact that we have chosen
to call onr system OF government
in the Unired States a republic, !"
Mr.. Gompers soid, docs not in
sure either protection or peace.
Preparedness is an economic as we'll

The principles of human welfare
cannot be ignored in plans for ma
tioual defense any more than they
can be IGNORED in industry or com
merce. The safeguarding of hui
man rights ard freedom are of fur
damental Importance, and are cor
related with uetional defense.
They must not be sacrificed to any
false concept of national defense.
To what end will nation be
saved if the citizens are denied that
which gives life value and purpose2
The preparedness favored by labor
must be genuine. There must be
no sham, no pretense, no halfway
measures. There must be indus
trial, commercial political social,
moral as we'll as military defense.
Citizen so'diery must be established

We must put an end
to the present wasteful and unfair
administration of our military af-
fairs.
ITO say that we will leave the
administration Of such powers in
the hands Of the privileged few is

only be 10 the hands Of TIE dem
ocracy of America. Wherever the
spirit OF democracy is absen, there
the accompanying evil of militarism
fastens il deadly clutches upon
freedom and civic opportunity, ju,t
as, conversely, where the spirit of
democracy obtains it is to the aboli
ton of military castles and the Vi
,ious dangers OF militarism

paredness, must be against enemies
At home as we'll as enemies without

Workinu the Air Brake.

Contrary to the general impression,
the air pressure used in the air brake
on railroad cars is applied to hold the
brake shoes away from the car wheels.
The instant that the air pressure is
released the brake shoes are forced
against the car wheels, bringing the
car or train to stop. 1t is the re-
leasing of the air or the passage Of the
air through the valves that causes the
whistling noise heard under the cars.

Spring Chicken Crop.

As spring is the season Of the
greatest activity in the poultry
yard now is the time for every
poultry man to be sure that his
flock is in condition to bring the
largest possible returns during the
matching seasons. In this connec-
[tion E. P. Clayton Of The Miss is
sippi A. & NJ. College. offers the
following timely suggestions to
poultry owners.
Select the eggs for breeding from
those hens which are found to be
the heaviest layers. Select only
the large well.shaped eggs using
the small ones for the table. Put
the hens to sitting by first Of
February if possible as the pullets
hatched in February, March. and
April will be the best layers during
October, November and December
when the prices are highest.
If you have an incubator and
have not yet had sufficient exper-
ience with it to have self confidence
begin at once and bring off . hatch
as soon as possible to get the ex-
perience. Resetas soon as the first
hatch comes off. Keep the incu-
bator going till the last Of April.
When the little chicks are hatch
ed out in bad weather keep the
brood in a dry, warm house, with
plenty of ventilation. Little chicks
do well in cold weather if kept
warm. Wet weather hurts worse
than cold; so keep them in q dry
house.
Watch for lice and mites. This
winter has not been cold enough to
keep them from breeding. They
will worry the sitting hen and kill
the little chicks. Spray the roosts,
nests and walls with pure coal oil,
being sure to fill all cracks and
crevices. Keep this up all spring
and summer every two or three
weeks and you will have no trouble
with them.

Start The Garden Work.

With careful planning and a
little effort every home in Mississip-
pl can have q good garden that will
furnish wholesome food the year
round. Since January is the month
for planning the garden and order
ing the seed, it is one Of the gar
dener's business seasons.
In urging every farm home to
start the year right, E. F. White
of the Mississippi A. & M. College
makes these timely suggestions /:
Make . complete plan Of your
garden as it will be in 1916, and
send postal cards to some reliable
|seedsmen and nurserymen asking
for their catalogues. Let your
plan provide for all the things the
family will like. and aim to have
the best garden in your county.
In order to have this best garden
start working omit now. Clean
up the garden spot, repair the
fence, gather up all the leaves and
trash ]; burn all refuse that is not
good for manure; put away all
stakes and supports, having no
thing around to shelter harmful
insects from destruction by cold
weather. If possible plow the
garden and give it q good applica-
|tion Of air slaked lime.
Have plenty Of refuse hay, sedge
straw. or pine needles on hand to
come. Protect the asparagus and
strawberries with this mulch at
once. Strawberries will soon start
runners, and these need to grow
over q straw mulch in order to
keep the coming crop Of berries off
the ground.
