BY Edward A. Rich, M. D

A. v. Fawcett, mayor of
Tacoma, now candidate for
congress in this district. has
all his life been man of
action and accomplishment.
At ~ he ran away from
Wesleyan university i'm ILL.,
nOis to join the Union army.
He fought with Sherman to
the sea and came out wound
ed in three places.
"We1l have to cut off
your Leg" said the army sur
geOns.
swell, you won't" said
Fawcett. He still has the leg.
The incident shows the
positive determination that
has made his life in war,
business and politics a sue
cess.
After the war he studied teleg-
raphy and became a station agent
on the Chicago & Alton. 1t was
good business training but ad-
vancements came slowly and al
though he was climbing he re-
signed and became a salesman
for big implement house of Peo-
ria. In two years he was lead
ing salesman with $500 a month.
But the west called him.
He came to Tacoma in 1883
and opened an implement and
seed store. He built the great
est business In the west with
branches at Portland, Seattle,
North Yakima and Bellingham.
BY 1890 he was worth 100000.
Then came the panic, and an
other side of the man of business
and action came uppermost. His
wealth was mostly in notes
against farmers. He could have
foreclosed and taken their farms
and today been a multimillion-
aire.. He refused to become a
millionaire on the misfortunes oil
others, nailed his papers up in Q
box and let them become out
lawed.
Further, he used his ready cash
to relieve those in distress. He
bought flour by the carloads and
invited those in need to come and
help themselves free of cost. He
gave annual Christmas dinners to
$500. His charity was unlimited
and when the panic was over his
wealth was reduced to barely
enough for a nucleus for a new
start in business.
But again he forged to the
front and became not enormously

BRING One PARTY
TN ARMORED AUTO

Alfred Fields Rhodes, late
private in the U. s. army, is in
Tacoma today seeking work.
He was brought here last
night, he declares, with a party
of Other, men, from Seattle by the
Milwaukee railroad as strike
breakers.
The men were kept mt the
Milwaukee dock during the
night, he says, under armed
guard and were prevented
from leaving. He escaped.
Rhodes says the workers
were hired in Seattle under
false pretenses, then were
loaded into what amounted
to an armored auto truck.
The whole machine was
swathed i'm wire netting,
covered with burlap. Tn
der cover of darkness, the
men were unlOaded at the
wharf.
Milwaukee officials today
scoffed at Rhodes story.
I'VE are not attempting to hold
anyone against his WILL" said one
official at the docks.
How could we get work out
of an unwilling employee? Any
man working here can quit when
he wants to, and get his pay
whenever he demands it. We
have made no attempt whatever
to hold anybody who did not
want to work.
Rhodes is picturesque fig.
ure. He was with the army in
the Philippines and there was
slashed In battle by bolos Sc
severely that he lay 10 months
in a hospital.
While convalescent he CHANGED
to observe quarrel between
two carabao drivers. Gen. Aron-
do Sheivio, half Spaniard and
half Chinese, strobe forward and
struck one of the combatants.

Keep Milk Sweet.

The approaching warm wealth.
err will make it necessary for
dairymen and housewives to take
special precautions to prevent
loss thru souring of milk and
cream. AS milk is an ideal food
for both babies and bacteria, it
frequently happens that in warm
weather the bacteria are the
first to enjoy this delicate food.
Tho the acid developed in the
milk during souring is not harm
full to the health of adults, it
is injurious to infants, and dis
tasteful to many older people,
and will surely cause dairymen
to lose money.
A successful dairyman near
the Missouri College of Agri-
culture has solved this problem
by removing the causes. Since
dirt is loaded with bacteria he
first keeps both dirt and bacter-
ia out Of his milk, by using a
small top milk pail, by keeping
his pals, cans, strainers, and
other milk utensils clean, anC
by keeping his COWS free from
dirt and filth. This can be cheap.

Automobiles, not germs, are to

paralysis that has swept the country
according to the assertion made by
DR.. J homas F. Harrington, Deputy
Com of Labor of Massa-
chusetts in an address before the
annual convention of the American
Public Health Association, who
says: "Infantile paralysis is due
to chemical agents, namely gases
and fuses given off in the atmos-
phere by the combustion of oils
and fluids used in automobiles "
Mr. Harrington declared. "Cases
of gas and fume poisoning and
cases of infantile paralysis agree in
every essential.

Farmer Boys.

The boy problem is not exclu-
sively city problem, although it
is generally thought of in that
light. In connection with the
drift cityward Of rural population,
the Country Gentleman points out
that fundamentally it is boy
problem. Keeping the boy on
the farm is a problem which i'm
mediately concerns the rural parent
and which generally and seriously
concerns the whole country.
The FARMERS boy is boy first
of all. Whether he becomes q
farmer depends upon many things
He must be given chance. He
wants, and has perfect right to
expect, something more than food,
clothes, lodging and meagre
amount of spending money on
rare occasions in return for hard
work. he wants time aud means
for that play that keeps Jack from
being a dull boy-and a dissatis-
fed boy who will accept the first
opportunity to leave the farm.
He wants and has right to ex-
pect, family finances making it
possible, something more than a
mere country school education.

Who Forgets!

"And know by these that God

The line qouted above came back
to the writer with the query: "Do
you believe what you have written
there?" And the query was signed:
"In the dark"
And why should not one believe
that God does not forget; is not the

On the bright side of the ledger

we remember that God is our
father aud man is our brother; il
we are unselfish, loyal, and above
all, if we are helpful to those who
need it, we feel within our own
souls that we are close up to the
divine presence, and something
almost as tangible as hand touch
warns the pulse to a Joy beat.
But the same God who promised
reward said also: Il will repay
And sometimes the coin in which
he pays is as a silence that grows
like a solid wall between our soul
and him. We build that wall by
our own hard thoughts, our unkind
deeds, our bitter words, our cold
neglect of those who lean-perma-
nently or momentarily-upon our
hearts for the succor of an aims
or the cheer of tender word.
And when the intangible wall
is there between the soul and God
we lose the comforting sense of
