uraes Ban on sweatshops.

The public can settle the sweatshop
problem" said Mrs. Henry Moskowitz,
manager of the labor department of
the Dress and Shirt Waist Manufac
turers' association, in the course of a
recent address in New York city. The
public can take stand to buy goods
made in union shops, where the manu-
facturers live up TO standards above
sweated labor. If in department
store you see a shirt waist for 80
cents and another one on an adjoining
counter for 9S cents you may be fairly
sure that the cheaper one was made in
a sweat shop. Soon there will be a
tag selected to be attached to all union
made goods. If the union shops pros
per through increased trade then the
sweat shops will realize that they
must swing into line"

He feeds them well and sees that they

Dr. Moskowitz declared that every

said, "but the government should step

RED DESERT OF WYOMING.
It's Sand Dunes, Color Effects and
Sheep Pastures.

West of Creston is obtained the first
comprehensive view of the Red desert
sf Wyoming. A few miles north Of the
railroad track is great stretch Of
sand dunes. which extends a hundred
miles, from Green river to North
Platte river The dunes. many of
them more than a hundred feet high,
are constantly travelling with the pre-
vailing winds in a general easterly
direction. If few camels and an
Arab or two were added to the scene
the spectator could easily imagine him.
self in the Sahara desert. Frequent
mirages, endless variety of feature and
wonderful coloring make the desert
far from the monotonous stretch 1t
may seem to be at first glance
As the name suggests, the dominant
colors are red-russet brick red and
vermilion-but there is every tone OF
gray and brown, with not few shades
of green, purple and yellow Unlike
the colors of an eastern American land
scape, those Of the Red desert are not
dependent on the season, for there Is
little vegetation to hide the coloring of
the rocks and soil
Despite the sparsity of vegetable
growth, the Red desert of Wyoming is
a winter sheep range. The scattered
bunch grass" which looks so meager
and dry, is, in fact, excellent forage,
curing into hay where it grew and hav-
ing a high nutritive value In sum
mer, when the desert is dry and the
water holes are few, the sheep are
herded III the mountains, where water
Is abundant and grass is green and
tender.
The earlier SHOWS, falling first in the
higher mountains and extending week
by week to lower attitudes, drive the
focks into the rough fall range be-
tween the mountains and the desert.
Here they are held until the snow falls
on the desert itself, but with the first
heavy snowfall they are driven from
the foothills to spend the winter in the
open, where they find pasture In the
spaces cleared Of snow by the winds.
The winds are not tempered here but
neither is the lamb shorn. and Wyo-
ming winter winds make heavy wool

FRIDAY HAPPENINGS.
They Register Many Important Events
In American History.

In American History
Are you a good American and do you
look on Friday as an unlucky day
You are not superstitious and are quite
sure that one day is just like another
as far as national significance is con-
cerned? No doubt that is true, and yet
the Importance Of Friday In American
history, as it has been worked out,
makes an almost convincing showing
for itself. We have not forgotten that
Columbus discovered the new world on
Friday. Oct -. 1892. Did you know
that he also set sail on the sixth day
of the week, that he started on his re-
turn voyage on that day and that he
reached Palos on another Friday? In
addition to six vital points In the Co
lumbus exploration, which were mark
ed by Fridays that day was carried
over into our national experiences with
England.
Cabot's commission from Henry VIII.
bears the date of Friday. On that day
of the week the Mayhower landed, and
on much earlier Friday the town OF
81 Augustine was rounded. One u.
Washington was born on Friday, and
that day marked the seizing of Bunker
Hill, the surrender of Burgoyne at Sar-
atoga, the discovery Of Arnold's trea-
son and the surrender of Lord Corn
wallis at Yorktown. This was In 1871,
almost five long years after John
Adams made the famous motion In the
Continental congress that the United
States are and ought to be independ-
ent." That declaration was made on
Friday, the 7th Of July, 1T76, three
days after the actual drawing up of
the Declaration of independence and
six years after the Boston massacre,
which precipitated the Reyoluton.-St

If placed under the direction Of the de

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE.
President Wilson and Others Approve
of the Movement.

Industrial hygiene was discussed in
Cooper Union, New York, recently by
Royal Meeker, commissioner of the bu-
reau Of labor statistics in Washington;
DR.. S. S. Goldwater. former city health
commissioner; Hugh Frayne, New
York organizer of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor; Or. Henry Moskowitz,
president of the municipal civil service
commission. and Or. Louis L. Harris,
chief of the division of industrial hy-
giene of the department of labor.
The meeting was to explain the work
of the Industrial hygiene division for
the purpose of increasing the interest
of both employers and employees In
better industrial conditions.
President Wilson sent this telegram:
Having received notice of the meeting

Women and the Arts.

l believe that woman loves the arts
better than does man. She is better
ground for the development of great
artist, for she approaches art with
sympathy, while the great bulk of men
approach it with fear and dislike,
shrinking from the idea that it may
distort their self complaceney. The
prejudice goes so far that, while wom-
en- are attracted to artists as lovers,
men are generally afraid of women
who practice the arts or they dislike
them 1t is not a question of sex; it
is a question of art.-W. L. George in

New York, May Headquarters
for the promotion of Elihu Roots nom
ination at the republican national con-
vention in Chicago have been opened
here. Ex-Congressman John W.
Dwight is in charge, and Senator
James W Wadsworth, Jr., will look
after MIR. Roots interests in Wash
ington. Later headquarters will be
opened Chicago.
The purpose of the movement"
says a statement issued by Mr.. Dwight,
is to end the period of quiescence
and to give systematic direction to the
sentiment in favor of Mr.. Root by pro-
viding suitable organization. Since
the statement signed by II eminent
New York citizens in favor of Mr.. Root
was promulgated early in April there
has been no active effort to promote
his candidacy The lack of organiZa-
ton has been felt. Numerous inquir-
les have been received as to what is
being done. There was no means of
answering these inquiries or Of giving
information when it was sought. The
friends of Mr.. Root have felt that there
should be at least clearing house for
information. and that means should
be taken for keeping in touch with
political events, which are developing
rapidly.
From now on there will be an
open, active campaign to bring about
the nomination of Mr. Root at ChiCa-
go. No one who inclines to the sup
port of the former secretary of state
will be left in doubt as TO the move
ment."

Thin Folks Who
Want to Get Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or
More.

I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and
stay that way" declares every eXces-
sively thin man or woman. Such a re-
suit is not impossible, despite past fail
uTes. Most thin people are victims of
mal-nutTiuOn, condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are, when the powers OF nutrition are
normal Instead OF getting into the
blood, much Of the fat and flesh pro-
duclng elements stay in the intestines
until they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and TO pro-
duce healthy, normal, amount OF fat,
the nutritiye processes must be arti-
fcially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can
probably best be accomplished by eat
ing a Sargol tablet with every meal.
Sargol is a careful combination Of six
splendid assimilatiye agents. Taken
with meals they mix with the food to
turn the sugars and starCheS of what
YOU have eaten into rich, ripe nour-
ishment for the tissues and blood and
its rapid effect has been in many cases
reported remarkable. Reported gains
of from 10 to % pounds in a single
month are by no means infrequent.
Yet its action is perfectly natural and
absolutely harmless. SargOl is sold by
