WHAT is CONsTITUTIoNAL?-

The big railroad men are taking up
the fight against the 8-hour law, say
ing that it is constitutional At
the same time all the big associations
are backing up the poor owners of
the railroads and are trying to help
them win the fight against the
''heartless brotherhoOds."
The big manufacturers and bust

men because they are afraid that all
the workingmen of the U. S. will de-
mand an S-hour day, which is no
more than their right to demand for
the good Of themselves and their
wives and children. And if this law
is unconstitutional, what then is
constitutional?
Is it constitutional for men to work
Is hours a day and not be able to
see their wives and children, whom
they work for all their lives? Is it
constitutional for poor little girls
and married women, mothers of
small children, to work in shops and
factories from 10 to IL hours a day
for "a or So a week?
Is it constitutional to pay to the

Tin labor must always be the same,
whatever may be the quantity of
good he receives in return. OF these,
indeed, his labor may sometimes pur-

"At all times and places that is
dear which is difficult to be had or
which costs much labor to acquire,
and that cheap which is to be had
easily, or with very little labor. La
Dor alone, therefore, never varying in

Annoyed by Hunters

Farmers are already complaining
of hunters invading their lands
and endangering the stock. 1t is
a punishable offense to enter en-
closed premises whether posted or
not without permission from the
owner or one in charge. The fact
of having hunters license does not
give a person permission to go
where they please in search of game
and to do so may prove expensive.

Couer Manure Box
and Garbage Can

A proper system of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as a method of con-
trolling the fly nuisance. A proper
method of garbage collection and dis
posal is next in Importance. The gar
bage should be drained, wrapped in
paper and collected i'll afly-proof metal
bucket. The bucket should be washed
at intervals with lye soap and water
and then, sponged with kerosene in
water.
The foregoing advice is from the IA
nous sanitary authority, DR.. w. A.
Evans of Chicago. In u local cam.
paign we should utilize this informa~
ton to the utmost. 1t has long been
recognized that swatting the lily would
rid the community of his whole
tribe forever more. We have learned
that we must make war on him early
in the season by getting rid of his
breeding places and his natural
sources of food supply-filth.
Some of us are inclined to grumble
that campaigning against flies is
mighty troublesome. Well, the grum-
blcrs will find it less troublesome to
campaign effectually against flies than
to nurse a member Of the family
through a spell of typhoid fever-and
luch less extensive.

CAT FEEDS STARVING DOG
strange Pair Live Eight Days on
Dried Elk Meat Which Pussy
Furnished Companion. !

Deputy Game Warden Brown is
looking for the hunter who killed an
elk in the foothills of the Olympics
amt left the greater portion of it dried
in It small cabin, says the Seattle Post
lntelligencer.
Browns discovery of the elk meat
deals with the w%anderings Of an Aire.
dale dog.
Brown borrowed the dog from a
friend when he started into the hills
on a general hunt for l~awbreakers.
and when we'll up in the mountains
he lost the dog. He failed to locate
the animal, and later came to town.
thinking it had returned to it's home.
When he arrived he found that the
dog had not appeared, so he started
out again to try to locate the animal.
Brown luckily stumbled upon a
small cabin well up in the mountains,
and here found the dog. Brown inves-
tigated. the shack and found it we'll
supplied with elk meat, but on the
rafters was a small domestic cat that
had become wild. The dog had come
cross the cat, which had sought ref.
uge in the rafters of the cabin. When
hungry the cat ate the dried elk meat
and dropped pieces to the dog below,
both living for more than eight days
in t'iis manner.
