ASTH MIA Simple, Harmless Remedy Brings
 Quick Relief.

Many cases of immediate relief and rapid recovery from bronchial asthma of long standing and other diseases of throat and lungs are being credited to discovery made by Dr. Eugene How ard of Worcester, Mass Dr. Towards s prescription, which Is totally different from all usual methods of treatment for these affiictions, is called Oxidaze and comes in the form of a tablet which the patient allows to dissolve slowly in the mouth. Its curative, healing juices thus mingle with the saliva and enter every crevice of the irritated bronchial membranes. release the muscular con- striction of the bronchial tubes, open up the air passages and regulate the spasmodic lung action. These tablets, though pleasant to the taste. are so powerful and rapid in their action that many users who for years were obliged to sit up in bed gasping for breath and unable to sleep report that they now put single OXidaze tablet in their mouth when going to bed and can then lie down and breathe easily and nat urally and get a good nights restful sleep Lee & Osgood and many other local druggists who handle Oxidaze tablets sell it on the positive guarantee of money back if 1t does not give i'm mediate relief.

SERV-US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed mince meat is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception Of spices and entrants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation III the factories in which IL is packed is beyond reprOach as the competition today in these lipes necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best favored apple known. The raisins used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- Sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar. the different grades merely representing the differ eut fiavors or different granulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand picked by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house. wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean it may be. and make up the filler for her mince pie. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in minCe meat is of the choicest and to- day the same Corn-beef which you and I would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat. There are very few pies made which can be used as handily by the house. wife as mince meat for all it requires iG a firrla and heinz haar ten minutes and it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having it ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect- ed company aI.d it will be a good dessert free from dirt. IL is our thorough belief that a mince meat pie made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good.
 For many years mince meat was considered a winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had to increase its capacity during the summer months until today it runs every day of the year with a regular force of helpers. We ship goods to every part of the country the entire year This of course means a great increase in the use of these goods over when mincc meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an in- creased sale over the former winter consumption.

SEARCH FOR OIL IN OHIO.
Facts About the Geology of Woods
 field and Caldwell Districts.

The search for new oil and gas pools in southeastern Ohio has been so thor ough and persistent that the casual observer might conclude that the chances of finding new producing areas are slight. There is, in fact some ground for that conclusion as to
 parts of Monroe and Noble counties, where there is almost no area as large as l square mile that has not been
 tested at one or more places by the drill. The most encourag ging feature in this region is the number of sands in which there is hope of finding pools. no less than eight sands being produc- tive at one place or another and some single wells, deriving oil from several sands. The shallow depth at which oil Is found is also an inducement to drilling, especially in the Caldwell dis trict, where the Buell. Run, Macksburg 500 0-foot, and other sands are produc- tive within a few miles of their out crop, at depths of 100 to 300 feet. The Berea sand has yielded a good output

The Needs of the 23d.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | inclose a request for subscription
which ! have just received from commit
tee OF ex-members of the 23d Regiment,
y. G. s. y. Y, which committee is attempting
20 raise additional funds TO meet expenses
which should be met by the United States
Government.
When the Odd was first ordered out | sent
a check in answer TO previous call for sub
criptons for the same purpose; but as a
citizen of the United States who pays his
income tax. it seems TO me an outrage that
there is no way Of compelling the United
States government to do its duty in properly
equipping its soldiers, particularly those who
are being called upon to do work for which
they never enlisted.
Last year the cost Of our pitiful little army
was more than half as much as the cost Of
the great French army in peace time. Under
these circumstances the fact that the govern
ment was unable TO properly equip 10000
regular troops for Mexico was disgraceful;
but the fact that they either can not or will
not properly provide for the National Guard.
which Wilson has seen fit 70 call upon TO do
regular army duty, is more than disgraceful.
Is it necessary for the citizens of the
United States TO wait until Election Day TO
punish the men responsible FOR this condition
of things? A. F.. CORTIS.

Concerning Labor Organizers.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Can there be imagined more pitiable
spectacle than is presented at this time. when
the business Of great city and the comfort
and livelihood Of its millions are subject to
the wills and whims Of a few men? The sit
uation IS the more disgraceful and intolera-
bic from the fact that these men are worth
less trouble-mskers and blatherskites, unwill-
ing to work, except with their jaws. and skill
full in melting their dupes to riot. They have
already tied up several lines of surface cars,
and they now, forsooth. threaten 20 tic up
the elevated lines and the subways, That
.hey should be allowed to make such threats
and 60 unpublished is disgrace 20 the gov
eminent that permits it.
The customary rioting has already begun.
1t will continue until it is put down with a
strong arm. or course, in the end the riot
ing must be and viii be put down. at what
ever cost Then IL will be found that the
killed and wounded include strikers, strike
breakers, policemen and innocent citizens
perhaps even women and children who have
been attacked for the crime of attempting
20 ride in the cars against the strikers
wishes. One class. however. certainly will
not be among the killed and wounded. These
are the men who are responsible for the
trouble. but who, themselves, always manage
TO keep out of danger.
These agtators are unqucstionaby the
enemies Of the community, and it is out
rage that they should be allowed 20 work
their evil without punishment. II there is no
,N.sting law that will admit Of their arrest
and restraint, it is a condition Of intolerabe
inbecility. and all decent citizens should
unite in demanding that the needed protec-
ton be given by legislation, and with the
least possible delay. W c. c.

IS 1T POETRY
Greetings to the New Verse, Last OF the
Arts TO Awake.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Curiously enough poetry IL almost
the last Of the arts TO hear the new claim
which nature has lately made upon our ex-
pressional faculties. Rodn led the way in
sculpture with the "Balzac" and his drawings
.or the "Jardn de Supplice"; Matisse and
Pcasso followed soon in painting; music was
not far behind. with Debussy, Strauss. Schon-
berg and Scrabine. Poetry is awakening
slowly, at last.
IA it poetry? What is poetry? These are
questions which arise in the mind OF the
disturbed laity but do not occur to artists.
Art is expression, or frst-hand reaction to
life Poetry is the expression Of poet and
If poets abandon the pleasing obvious
rhythms of certain precise forms in lltera
ture, il is because poetry is no longer made
primarily to be sung or intoned, as it was in
Chaucers day. What has been done has
cen well done. but there is limit to the
mount we can stand of anything even clas
steal poetry Poetry for most people is only
the reiteration of noble sentiments in metr-
cal form. and mighty limited number Of
noble sentiments at that. For years poets
have been despised for their untiring appre-
Citations OF spring no less than for the length
Of their back hair. The poverty Of the breed
has been provcrbial. Now people read and
pay for what, until Mr.. Warner can find
better term, we will call poetry, but if he has
been unable in thirty years to feel the magni-
tude of giant like Whitman, even if he be
rot IN sympathy with him, does it matter
what he thinks about it?
Men have become aware that things are
being said which they wish to hear: need
IL being filed Anybody can appreciate the
beauty Of the stars. the grandeur Of noun
tain. the depth of the sea or the charge of
The Light Brigade. The ancients have most
thoroughly expressed 1t in every possible
Fnd Of verse.
Now we are tired Of spring poems, unless
the author can shed new radiance on that
unsettling season in some personal and par
ticulsr way. The spring has been released;
the new poetry is the rebound.
