FEED THE BIRDS IN WINTER

The birds which remain with us in
winter are always in imminent dan
ger of starvation during periods of
deep snow and low temperature.
Many birds live on foods obtained
from the ground-others from weed
tops and plants that are covered by
deep SHOWS. Much can be done to sup
ply the birds with food and many
bird lives can be saved by a little care
and attention at this time.
Feeding stations should be estab-
lished near residences for such VIM
ter birds as the downy and hairy
woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches,
brown creepers, evening grosbeaks
and other winter residents or wis.,
tants. Suet, seeds of various kinds,
ground meat scraps, etc., placed in
artificial feeding stations, or in any
suitable place, will attract the birds
In large numbers. Suet may be fast
ened to branches of trees. grain may
be scattered on straw or litter in shell
tered places which may be protected

MESSENGER BOYS WIN
STRIKE FOR WAGES

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. s. It took
less than a week for the messenger
boys employed by the North Ameri-
can Telegraph Company to win their
strike.
Every demand of importance made
by the boys was granted, and the VIC
tory speaks we'll for the manner in
which they conducted their strike.
They were given valuable assist
ance by the Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, and it's grievance committee and
organizer.
The little fellows now receive $50
per month for the six-day week,
overtime for Sunday work and a COM
mission on each message delivered.
The insanitary conditions in the
toilet and waiting rooms have been
abolished and drinking water pro-
vided.
No charge will be made for repairs
to uniforms, and the management has
assured the boys that it will use every
effort to abolish the purchasing of
uniforms.
The messengers are clean-cut lit
tie fellows, and are to be congratu-
lated on the victory won. :
The little strike will be the means

WESTERN UNION BONUSES

That whole-souled corporation,
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, has decided to give bonuses to
employees receiving $4,000 or less a.
year-which means probably IS per
cent, for the Western Union never
was a high-wage concern. Messen-
gers are to receive $25 each, en-
ployes receiving less than $1,000 per
annum 7 per cent of their annual
wages, and those receiving from
$1,000 to $4,000 per cent. Thus
the thousands Of women and girls
receiving $500 and less would get as
much as $50 or $35 additional, which
no doubt they will consider Godsend,
But the Western Union, with all it's
benevolsnce, is an absolute despot-
ism; the mere suspicion that an en-
ploye is member of a union Is con-
sidered sufficient to warrant dismiss
sal. 1t is supposed this disburse-
ment of "bonus' is for the purpose
of distracting attention from the
many millions of net profits that will
be shown by the annual statement of
It's earnings. This is one of the plums
ripe for government picking. The
enormous profits should revert The

PUT DOLLARS ABOVE
LIVES OF PASSENGERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Dollars are
more important that human lives.
That, in summary, appears to be
the decision of the Real. Estate Board
of New York, which recently an
nounced it's opposition to an ordi-
nance requiring safety devices on
passenger elevators. The arplianc -
proposed ,ould prevent accidents
while passengers are getting on and
off the cars, and would keep shaft
way doors locked so they cannot be
opened unless the elevator is sta
toned at the landing. This ordi-
nance is now pending before the
board of aldermen.
1T will cost money" is the howl
the real estat, men have set up at
the time of beginning their figh: on
the measure.
In other words, If the real estate
men can keep their profits, they are
willing to sacrifice the safety and per-
haps the lives Of passengers on the
city's elevators.

BOOSTS.
MORTALITY RATE
AMONG CHILDREN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Tha+
cblldren's welfare from babyhood +o
adolescence is bound up with indus
trial conditions is emphasized by the
recent work of the federal children's
bureau, of which the chief, Miss Julia
Z. Lathrop, tells in her fourth annual
report made public recently.
A study of infant mortality in
Manchester, N. H., adds new evidence
that when the fathers earnings are
low or the mothers work out of the
home the infant mortality rate is ex-
ceptlonally high. In Manchester it
varies from death among everv a.
babies where fathers earn less than
$3.50 to one death among every 16
babies where fathers earn $1,05O or
more.
Miss Lathrop's report refers to the
ERECT OF living conditions on mothers
and points out that sickness or death
OF the mothers lessons the baby's
chances for life and health. The bu-
reau prepared a statistical study of
maternal mortality and finds that
$4,000 mothers die year by year in
this country from largely preventa BILE
causes incident to maternity. Miss
Lathrop says in commenting upon
this fact: 'The means of prevention
are the instructions of the mother
and suitable care during confinement
But she must have also nourishine
food and sufficient rest and freedom
from anxiety-in other words, decent
diving conditions"

MAYOR SPIKES
PLAN TO BOOST.
BREAD PRICES

TACOMA, WASH, Jan. 3.-Mayor
A. V. Fawcett. Of this city, has sue
ceeded In spiking the plan of a DOW
erful clique of master bakers to raise
the price Of bread by a threat of
some direct bread methods. He told
the bakers the price of bread must
not be boosted, or the city would sell
bread direct at cost price.
The bakers combine had determined
to stop making scent loaves alto-
gether. It was proposed to- charge
10 cents for sixteen-ounce loaf, and
ID cents for a twenty six ounce loaf.
In stepped Mayor Fawcett with an
expert investigation that was quick
and to the point. Based on his find
lngs he declared the proposed raise
would be extortionate and not war
ranted by the increased price in ma
terlals, particularly since the workers
were getting the same pay as last
year.
Mind your own business" was. in
effect, the combines answer to the
mayors dictum.
"The cost of living in Tacoma is
my business" Mayor Fawcett snapped
pack. If you raise the price of
bread, will establish . a. municipal
bakery and sell bread direct at cost
to the consumer"
He didn't have to. The master
bakers hurriedly consulted each other
about the mayors challenge, and
shortly afterward, while plans for a
municipal bakery were in full swing,
announced that the price Of bread
would remain the same as before.

THINGS TO EAT.

Cheese Is one of our foods that Is
absolutely without waste and as we
realize the amount Of waste in meat,
We will come to appropriate the value
of cheese. Cheese contains no cellu-
lose as we find in vegetab les. no girls
tie and bone as waste in meat Cheese
because Of its high nutritive value
and being in such concentrated form,
if eaten hastily and in any amount,
causes indigestion. The reason we
serve hard crackers with cheese is
to insure the thorough mastication
of the cheese as we must of 7 ecessity
chew the cracker in order to get it
down. :;
Cheese is more wholesome If
lightly cooked, but overlooking
toughens it and has even more dis
astrous results on the digestion than
overlooked meat.
Cheese to be used in various dishes
where grated cheese is called for,
may be put through the meat grinder,
in many dishes, simply cutting it in
bits is sufficient. There should never
be morsel of this good food thrown
away. for even bit grated may be
sprinkled over a piece of pie, aiding
much to its attractiveness. =

SINGLE TAX WILL,
:BRNG:PROSPERITY

What IS the use of increasing the
production of things to sell, if the
ability to buy is not increased suffi-
Gently? A glutted market always
means lull in manufacturing till the
surplus has been disposed of.
Greater buying power means
greater selling power and that means
greater demand that must be supplied
by manufacturing. All this calls for
more material, more tools, more tools
to make tools, more transportation,
more work, more wages.
Schools and churches are not taxed
because of the good they do, mark
the words, 1.-The good they do" What
about factories? Do they do no
good? If they do, then why tax
them? We can not get along without
them. Why strike the hand Of kind
ness that is extended to you? Idle
lands. do they do any good? If not,
then why reward their owners for
keeping them idle, by taxing them
too little?
A. horse that does not earn his oats
is detriment to his owner. He may
be kept as pensioner, but why pen
sion idle-land owners? Loafers are
despised and condemned. Loafer
land should be, too.
Land spectators store their lands,
hold them for high prices. They will
not improve them, will not sell them
to others who will, except at prices
which, if paid, would leave no money
to pay for improvements. Thus,
building operations are stifled. Just
think how r0111h
to Duluth to erect buildings if build
1ngs were not taxed.
The first pioneers and law makers
OF a country are apt to make such
laws as were in force where they
came from. In the case Of tax legis,
lat1on local conditions have to be con-
sidered and sure and speedy collec-
ton OF taxes provided for.
1t does not always follow that taxes
are levied on the property most bene-
fitted or most properly chargeable,
but quite often the burden is placed
on such property is can be most
readily converted into cash, if seized
FOR non-payment of taxes. Land, in
our early history, was not quick
enough asset to best serve this end.
but cash, merchandise, and such, was
In greater demand, hence was more
available for the purpose.
Exact justice was not as much
questioned in former days as now. It
would have been useless, too. But
now it is safe to lay all taxes on land,
as it is in demand at reasonab bic
prices. Very little land is worth the
price 1t Is held at. The owners can
hold 1t because the expense (tax) is
so small, the owners of improved
property paying too much favors the
holder Of the unimproved lands.

information bureau of the national

roads, in testifying before the recent
al bitration boa in the switehmen's

with bare mention.
According to Walber, the 20 en-
gines hav. al: been replaced with
engines of the most modern type, and
the old ones-the ones with the COL

a coincidence ?-but you don't hear
