A PROSPEROUS UNION.
Shoe Workerc Report Financial CAIN
and Wage Setterment.

Shoe Workerc Report Financial Gains
and Wage Setterment.
The industries of neutral nations
have been Frustrated directly and in
directly by the war, and there has
been much hardship and loss of en-
ployment by wage earners. says the
Shoe Workers Journal. Our own trade
has suffered in common with others,
and members of our union have suffer
ed much from loss of work During
the last part OF 1915, however, there
has been a vast improvement In busi-
ness and employment 50 that while
we speed the passing OF 1915, we en-
ter upon the new year under much
more favorable conditions and pros
poets
Most Of the severe ordeals of life
are accompanied by lessons to those
who suffer if they care TO learn and to
profit by their experiences however
unpleasant those experiences may be.
The year 1915, with all its hard times,
has served at least to show that our
union is not merely fair weather in
stitution but one that can be relied on
in the most acute periods of business
depression
The financial receipts of this union
for the year 1915 were the largest Of
any year in our history as a union.
The general union share received dur
ing the year amounted to $345,082.37.
The month Of December, 1915. showed
the largest receipts for any month in
our history, amounting to $50, 1868.
During the year sos, HISS was paid
out for sick, death and disability bene-
fits. Strike benefits were only $3.50,
and victimiZation benefits were 1889.
There is more money in the treasury
of the union now than at any previous
time in the history Of the union
The small amount OF the strike bene-
fit is gratifying. because it shows that
strikes cut little figure in our trade
and that we are able to get a fair ad-
justment of our grievances without re-
sorting to strikes. and this is true even
in those centers where our members
are not working under our union stamp
arbitration contract
The process of wage betterment and
the adjustment of wage differences by
mutual agreement have gone steadily
forward during the past year. The
depression seems not to have impaired
the efficiency Of the union in the slight
est degree, and we enter upon the new
year stronger than ever before in spite
of all the opposition we have met

PRUDENCE IN EATING.
HeaithfuI Diet For a Person of indoor
Occupation.

HealthfuI Diet For Person of indoor
Occupation.
In the American Magazine DR. E. f.
Bowers gives a diet suited to the aver
age wealthy person of indoor occupa-
tion.
"An ordinary domestic egg equals
about eight grams of protein. This is
approximately the amount contained
in cubic inch of steak or in a half
pint glass of milk. A generous slice of
bread contains about four grams Of
protein. The quantity Of potatoes or
dinarily dispensed at meal equals two
and half grams
Allowing for our inability complete
ly to extract all the protein from any
given amount of food and convert it
into assimilable pabulum, a liberal
modicum of albumen would be twice
Hindhede's protein formula, or fifty
grams-this. remember, for an entire
day.
Therefore regular egg, five ounces
of beefSteak and glass Of milk should
supply for twenty-four hours all the
plOLciH lllt S9 StCui lc1uItS- i ne Odl-
ance of the diet should consist of
starches. sugars fats and plenty of
cellulose or hay This can best be
found in vegetables, such as tomatoes,
carrots, celery, turnips. beets, lettuce,
squash and all that grand group Of
horse foods containing much fiber and
little nutriment
TRY this regimen for awhile and see
if fermentation, headache, insomnia
rheumatism, nervousness and that
tired feeling" do not disappear like
snow upon the deserts dusty face And,
when they do, remember that the
chances of later developing Bright's
disease, hardening of the arteries and
heart failure have been reduced to the
irreducible minimum.

SECONDHAND GLASS.
Interesting Methods Of a Business That
is Quite Extensive.

is Quite Extensive
The salvage glass industry is OF such
Importance and extent that many deal
ers in secondhand glass specialize in
one branch or another Some, for in
stance, handle only pate glass that
comes 70 them by reason Of the demoli-
tion of old buildings razed to make
place for new structures. Salvage glass
of this sort brings prices not far below
those Of new glass
a considerable quantity of tile sal
wage glass dealers stock emanates
from the plate glass insurance com
panies The methods Of these com
panies in taking over glass vary. One
concern may keep no stock on hand,
simply buying whatever is required to
replace Il broken pane, disposing OF the
broken glass if enough remains TO be
sold, TO the salvage dealer Some,
times a company will have ware
house of it's own, to which it will re-
move broken glass that may still be
in condition to use Frequently it will
happen that only one corner has been
broken from large pane and that this
may be cut down to fit a smaller win
dow.
Most plate glass is insured, but there
is much that is not. In the case of an
uninsured plate that is broken the own
er must, of course, 90 to a dealer for a
new plate. He will sell the broken
plate to the salvage dealer 1t follows
therefore that from insurance COM
panies, from building wreckers and
from owners of uninsured glass the
salvage glass dealers accumulate great
quantities of secondhand plate glass.
Much of this is in such condition that
it may be reset anywhere. Should the
injury consist for instance, of simply
a deep scratch in the center it is easy
to make that plate salable. The Sec
ondhand dealer cuts out strip con-
tanning the scratch and thus have left
two smaller plates. quite suitable for
smaller windows
When injured plate glass is too much
scratched to be available for windows
it is sometimes made into ground or
frosted glass for office partitions or
doors. Salvage plate glass too small
for use in windows is employed for
the glass doors of refrigerators, and
larger pieces are utilized in the making
of glass table tops Small fragments
go to the making of hand mirrors, al
though only clear pieces may be sc
employed Other pieces, too small fol
other purposes, enter into the manu-
facture OF glass signs.
Eventually, when the last piece OF
merchantable glass has been cut from
the damaged piece, there remain the
scraps and fragments accumulated in
the cutting Even these have theil
uses, although they do not bring much

| facture of bottles-W Washington Star.

CHIMNEYS ON LAMPS.
Why They Prevent the Lighted Wicks
From Smoking.


From Smoking.
When a lamp Is burning without
chimney it generally smokes That is
because the oil which is coming up
through the wick is being only par
TALLY burned The carbon, which is
about one-half of what the oil con
tains, is not being burned at all and
goes off into the air in little black
specks with the gases which are
thrown of The reason the carbon is
not burned when the chimney is off is
that there IS not sufficient oxygen from
the air combining with it as it is sep
arated from the oil in the partial com
bustion that is going on
To make the carbon in the oil burn
you must mix it with plenty Of oXy-
gen at a certain temperature, and this
can only be done by forcing sufficient
oxygen through the flame to bring the
heat Of the flame 10 the point where
the carbon viii combine with it and
burn.
When you put the chimney on the
lamp you create draft which forces
more oxygen through the flame, brings
the heat up 10 the proper temperature
and enables the carbon to combine
with it and burn When you take the
chimney off again the heat goes down
when the draft is shut off and the
lamp smokes again
The chimney also protects the fame
of the lamp from drafts from the sides
and above and helps to make a bright
er light because steady light is
brighter than flickering one
The draft created by the chimney
also forces the gases produced by the
burning oil up and away from the
fame. Some of these gases have a
tendency TO put out light or a fire
