The disappointing failure Of the presidential primary to indicate

another method of accomplishing this result. As it is impraotcabLe to

SOMETHING TARIFF NEVER DID.

Comes tho news from some of the mining camps of Colorado that
with the increased price of silver there has been a porportonate advance
in the miners pay, in some instances as much as fifty cents a day,
which recalls to mind that when silver wa in its heydey, a generation
ago., men working in the silver mines of Colorado, Montana and Ne
vada received higher wages than those of any other vocation. And
should silver again reach the heights it did at that time, as now looks
probable, big wages will again be paid
The rehabilitation of the old silver mines means much to the west
and will go a long way I'M setting the labor problems of the big cities.
The unemployed of the latter places cannot be induced under any cir
cumstances to go into the farming sections and go to work, but the
lure of rhe mining camps lands them every time.

v ASK PAY RAISE.

The mechanics helpers in the Brooklyn navy yard are not gong
out OF strike for better wages. But their wives are taking up the mat
ter with the navy yard officials, insisting that $225 per day is not
enough for an honest workingman's family to live o properly.
The women take the ground that although their husbands earn the
wage, the wives are the ones who spend it. They are economic experts
in making that $225 feed, cothe and otherwise take care of a given
number Of human beings. AS a body OF economic experts, they de-
mand a hearing and consideration of their difficulties.
This is IN emirently reasonable position to take, and the officials
recognize it. One said, however, that IS the men were o getting as
much as was paid for similar work outside the government employ,
the solution a not IN greater wages for the helpers job, but in work
ing for promotion to the rank of machnsts. Another Predicted that
increased demand would soon operate to raise wages. The navy yard
officials cannot, of course, raise wages without an appeal to congress,

1T is necessary to have one person
who is the engineer and have him as
well informed as possible on his ma

something more about its operation,

through unavoidable accidents, anc
these will be rare.

It is the experts business to locate
trouble, the operators to avoid it. Toe
many are satisfied if machine runs.
That is not enough. Does it run
right? Are all bearings perfectly III
bricated and properly adjusted? Is
there pounding, even to the very
slightest degree? Is the valve anc
spark adjustment such as to give the
highest power? No one can answer
these questions so well as the opera
tor, if only the operator knows. You
can't get an operator who knows
these things for your tractor, but you
should get one who will know when
he has been on the job short time"

BE Moderate in Your Diet and Reduce
Your Weight with Tassco

Lack of fresh air weakens the oxy-

liver becomes sluggish, fat accumu-
lates and the action of many of the
vital organs are hindered thereby.
The heart action becomes weak, work
is an effort and the beauty of the

Fat put on by indoor life is un-
healthy and if nature is not assisted
in throwing it off by increasing the
oxygen carrying power of the blood,
serious case of obesity may result.
When you feel that you are getting
too stout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure has
become joke and your health ruined
through carrying around a burden of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open air; breathe deeply,

CONSULTING DEPARTMENT

Rounding Pullets Into Laying Trim
Have your pullets shown any signs
yet of starting to lay? Or, perhaps
to do any work until spring?
The truth is that when they are
from six to seven months old, they
should begin paying for their board.
1t is a mistaken notion that pullets
cannot or should not lay eggs in win
ter. With a little care they will set
tie down to business in the fall and
stay on the job most of the winter,
and it will not hurt them a bit for
breeding purposes. Why not resolve,
therefore, to do the few things that
are necessary to bring about this
pleasing condition?
The first thing on the schedule is to
separate all roosters from the pullets.
The male birds should either be mar
keted or penned by themselves. The
pullets will then have better chance
to develop and are likely to start lay
ing much sooner.
The next consideration is to see
that the pullets are properly matured.
Winter eggs from pullets are not a
theory but an easily attained reality
if the birds are matured in proper
time. The fact is that we'll developed
pullets are better winter layers than
older hens, and for this reason, many
refuse to keep hens for
laying purposes after their first year.
Your pullets should sing winter
egg songs and pay you just as good a
profit as those of anyone else. They
will if they are healthy and you give
them plenty of such strengthening

Tor the city was considered and the
sentiment of all the businessmen was
favorable to some concerted action
being taken in the matter.
1t is a fact that not only some of
the alleys but many of the back yards
in the city need renovating and should
undergo a general cleaning up. If
property owners and those renting
property see to it that refuse and un.
slightly objects are removed the city
