VALUE OF THE
FIRST AID TRAINING

After a recent cyclone which oc-
CURED in the southwestern part of the
country, late on the afternoon of Fri
day, June l, 1917, miners first-aid
crews from mines some forty miles
from the scene of the disaster rem
dered good service. The railroad au-
thorities, on being notified that the
cyclone had struck Coalgate, Okla, a
mining town, prepared special train
to carry nurses to that place. The
miners were notified and several first
aid teams responded, equipped with
working clothes and miners lamps.
AS it was necessary to search the
ruins for the dead and injured, these
men with the pit lamps rendered val
liable Service in finding the dead and
wounded and in rendering first-aid to
the latter. One of the first aid men
stated that he had assisted the doc
tors in dressing thirty injuries. All
of these men were recently trained by
the bureau of mines representative and
it will thus be seen that the work is
of value to the community in general
as well as to the miners. The first-aid
kits carried by the bureau of mines
contained more than
one thousand bandages, and Red Cross
and surgeons were much sur
prised and gratified with the equip
ment that the bureau men brought.

SHOULD BE MADE IN AMERICA"

1t is to be hoped that no American
army officer will bite at the bait Of
fered by a London tailoring concern
in proposing Ito supply Americans
with standard uniforms for all pur-
military and medical" An ad.
yertisement to this effect is now run
ming in New York papers. 1t strongly
urges the desirability of postponing
the question OF complete equipment
until arrival in Europe. thus avoiding
the errors of inexperience and burden
OF unsuitable outfits, and effecting n
substantial saving in price,
American tailors are perfectly com
petent to supply American officers
with American uniforms fashioned
out of cloth made In America. There
is no better tailoring. military or
civil. in the world. than that turned
out by American tailors, whether to
order or ready made. and no better
fabrics are to be found in the world
than the fabric woven on American
looms. The soldiers we are sending
abroad are all made in America" So
should be all their clothing and equip
ment.

NIGHT WORK FOR
WOMEN ILLEGAL
WISCONSIN COMMISSIONS
NEW RULE.
Order Restores the Provisions of Law
of 1913; Manufactures and Laun-
dries Affected by Decision.

The state Industrial commission has
prohibited night work for women in
manufactures and laundries in Wis
consin. Night work is declared to be
work performed between the hours of
6 p. m. and a. m. Pea canning fac
tories are excepted.
The commissions order is the re-
suit of hearings upon the petition of
the Wisconsin State Federation of La
Dor and other bodies which urged the
prohibition of all night work for wom-
en- and reduction of day labor to
eight hours. The commission disposes
only of that part of the petition which
relates to night work in manufacto-
ries and laundries, and gives notice
that it will make further investigation
of other industries.
This order of the commission merely
restores the provisions of the law of
1913. In a decision last year the
supreme court construed an ambiguous
statute as meaning that an eight-hour
limit applies only when all of wom-
ans work is done at night time.

cheap and not up to standard. Manu-
facturers who use cloth sewed labels,
you Will find, put goods on the market
that any union man or woman would
be proud to wear. When you buy label
articles demand the cloth sewed labei.
! Take no other, for we must have the
label goods of as high standard as the
non-union.
The average business man would
rather lose a sum of money outright
than to lose good customer, and he
will always carry line of union made
goods if the union customer will call
for them. One reason many of our
stores do not carry label goods in
stock is because the union men and
women do not call for them. They
may make demand once. If the clerk
informs them that they don't carry
label goods, but have ''something
without the label just as good" the
average man or woman will-to use
an expression of the street-"fall for
it," They never seem to have nerve"
out buying the something just as
good" If you will only say to the
clerk it must be labeled goods, and a
cloth sewed label at that, and walk
out, it would not be long, especially if
there come the second or third call,
before every store in town would be
displaying union labeled goods in the
same way as now displaying non
union, and every clerk would be
member of the clerks union.
There is probably not man or
woman who wouldn't like to see this
condition brought about, and yet these
very people have the power to do this
very thing if they would only exer-
else it. If they did, it would only be
matter of time until the big manu-
facturers would be falling over them
selves to sign label agreements with
every craft, and in place of only small
Independent manufacturers using the
label, we would have the trusts and
the National Manufacturers associa-
tion split in half.
worker is the same that affects the
entire human race-selfshness-
giving enough thought to the other
fellow. Ii we ever expect to over
come this short-sightedness we must
try first to overcome selfishness and
do unto others as we would be done
by" If we desire others to demand
our label, then we must demand theirs.
We must induce all workers affiliat-
ed with the trade union movement to

WHAT is HAPPINESS?

The aim of human life, no doubt, is
happiness. But, after all, what is hap
piness? Efficiency. wealth. material
comfort? Many by their lives do SO
affirm: few are cynical enough to say
so. and on their death beds none will
feel so. Not even freedom lies in
breadth of heart. And breadth of
heart is that inward freedom which
has the power to understand, feel
with, and, II need be, help others. In
breadth of heart are founded justice,
love, sacrifice; without 1t there would
be no special meaning to any of our
efforts, and the tale of. all human life
would be still no more than that of
supremely gifted animals.-John Gals

oped on commercial basis, and where
the first sugar beet factory was built
in northern Colorado. 1t is also the
location of one of the largest canning
factories in the world. Surrounding
this city is the great cattle and sheep
feeding grounds of the West, as well
as the principal wheat and alfalfa
growing section of the state.
The city is equipped with gravity

ers and other modern improvements.
1t is city of homes, with first-class
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

match boxes, card cases, razor strops
and other articles too numerous to
mention, all bearing labels that will
stay on. Every article l would place
against any non-union article of the
market for quality, price and style.
These goods l have been hustling for
years, yet there were men and women
carrying cards who had never seen
some of the articles before.
One man or woman can't do it all,
and this proved beyond doubt that
we are neglecting our obligation and
killing ourselves. The only way 1 see
out of it is for each state to have
label convention, each union to send
one delegate and there do real work
and cut out the pleasures.
Become a booster for the label.

THE GAY HOBO"

I'd like to be gay hobo, a reaping
things that others sow; I'd like to eat
the bread of life without the work
and fuss and strife. I'd like to sleep
beneath the stars and ride the bump
ers on the cars. I'd like to shun the
horrid wars, hate the sight of blood
and scars. I'd like to go when going's
good-I'm sick of chores and saving
wood. I'd like to leave the snow and
cold, my blood is thin, I'm growing
old. / hate to lug in the wood and
coal; Nd rather hunt a swimming hole
or with wabbly willow pole, find
I work the livelong day a plowing
spuds and making hay? The hobo
lives and doesn't work-f I lay off
Pm called shirk. Ten hours day
is my normal stunt, no wonder I am
such runt; don't have time to eat
enough to put fat on my carcass tough.
And when / wend my weary way
homeward bound at last at close of
day, my good wife meets me with this
lay: "The front screen door is on the
bum, million flies inside have come.
The chicken fence has busted out, the
hens have found it isn't stout; they've
scratched the beans and dug the peas;
the cherry slugs are in the trees. Then
after supper cut the grass, and find
your wrench, the stove leaks gas; the
wash line Says, the bedstead squeaks,
canning times here, the boiler leaks"
I'd like to read the daily news, I'd like
to revel in the views Of sunsets rare
and so I'd be weary Will and take
my fill of doing nothing but sit still.

Green Forest People Breathe
Freely Again.

News travels very fast in the Green
Forest and on the Green Meadows.
Yowler the Bobcat had been living in
the Green Forest only a. few days be-
fore everybody knew that he was there
and great fear filled the Green Forest.
Peter Rabbit no longer went there at
all. Not since the night when he had
seen Yowler over by the pond of Paddy
the Beaver had Peter ventured into the
Green Forest.
Big Tom Gobbler and his family and
Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse and their family
didn't know a minute of peace and Sc
curity during the day, and slept poorly
at night. They actually were growing
thin when they should have been grow
ing fat, all on account of fear and
Paddy the Beaver left uncut certain
trees he had planned to cut. They
were farther from the water than he
cared to go with Yowler about. Always
timid. Jumper the Hare was just a
bundle Of nerves and was seriously
thinking Of going back to the Great
Woods where he had been born. Happy

hollow tree for the winter earlier than
they would have. Whitefoot the Wood
Mouse hardly dared put HIS nose out
side his home.
It Is dreadful to live in stae Of con-
stant fear. There is nothing In life
much worse. All joy was gone from
the Green Forest; at least for the
and Buster Bear didn't mind because
they were too big to fear Yowler.
Prickly Porky the Porcupine didn't fear
him in the least and went about his
business as usual. Billy Mink pretend
ed not to care. but 1t was noticed that
he kept close to the Laughing Brook.
Jimmy Skunk wandered about in his
usual Independent manner. He knew
that Yowler would be very hungry in
deed before he would bother him. But
all the other little people shivered with
fear whenever they heard leaf rustic.
Then one day Sammy Jay flew
through the Green Forest spreading
the news Of what he had seen at the

to get more than a couple OF pounds at

haven't been able to get any at all So
you have Of necessity been forced to
go without homemade candies. or else
to make them with other4 sweets than
sugar.
There are many delicious candies
calling either for no sugar at all or
else for a very small amount Of sugar.
Instead they call for honey or maple
sugar or else depend on dried fruits
for their sweetness.

Is used. Put a pint of molasses in

HONEY VERSUS SUGAR.

A teaspoonful Of honey is said to have
as much nutritive value as an egg, and
everybody for years has used the nutri-
tive value of an egg as sort of stand
ard. Eggs are notedly nutritious.
So when it is suggested that in order
to conserve the sugar supply we sab
stitute honey wherever possible for sugar,
we can rest content that we are getting
our moneys worth, SO far as food value is
concerned.
There are many ways in which honey
can be used IN cooking instead Of sugar
And there are many other ways in
which II can be eaten to supply the
needed amount of sweet in our daily
diet. Honey is more readily digested
than cane or beet sugar. 30 we are
