It is being whispered about that labor and capital may clash during the coming fishing aeason in Alaska. Personally we are inclined to discredit such reports. However, before we
 each that point, which would mean trouble, 1t $ we'll to understand that it does not make any difference ia the result whether profaaaring is done by unpatrotic capital or unpatriotic labor; inc result is the same, and that is the increase in the deaths among our soldiers and among our allies. It would be well to refer whatever dis agreements may arise as to the price of fish to disinterested party or parties to adjust the same without stopping the wheels of progress. Every fish that is allowed to escape through lack of harmony between labor and capital, means ad- ditlonal misery to some one in this great strue- gle Means possibly death to a soldier All dis putes should be adjusted by arbitration without the interruption of production Both the cap-

In some cases the right of the city to condemn land for thep urposes intended is contest ed, which will likely delay construc- tion until that matter is determined

bRANDECEE IN
 PLAIN TALK TO
 U. s. SENATORS

You cannot win this war by talking about woman suffrage and prohibi- tion. We won every war we ever were in without woman suffrage and prohibition. We won the war of 1776 and 1872 and the Mexican war and there were no pink tea parties talk ing about putting pink chemises on the men and Plymouth pants .on the women. The women do not propose to go over in the trenches abroad and do the fighting. It is the men who will have to do that. Instead of bleat- ing around here about the1r sav;ng democracy by forcing their way into caucuses and conventions, they had better go home and knit bandages and pick lint, and get ready to take care of their brothers and sons and fath- CTS who are going to be shot to pieces in the trenches abroad.
 And, take the boys in the trenches over there,' standing all night in two feet of ice water, with orders in their pockets to go over the top in the cold gray dawn, in chilly fog, to put their unprotected bodies up against shot and shrapneI and ma chine guns and poison gas, in addi- tion to frozen feet! And they say they are going to fill each mans belly full of ice water before he starts as moral stimulus to him. It is per fectly absurd! Every army abroad gives its men a drink of something to expand the cookies of the heart be- fore they go up against the cold blue steel, and it may be the last one the poor devils will ever get. Yet you would think that this war is going to be won by such fads and fancies and frills as that.

AN UNDAUNTED SOUL.

Ida M. TarbeIl in The Red Cross Magazine for June, tells the inspiring story of Cardinal Mercier, one heroic man who stood out above the terrible flood-when the German swept over Belgium brave and se- rene. She says:
 'The more the world learns of Cardinal Mercier, the higher it places him among the very few superior men that have been developed in this world war. His passionate sym pathy, his complete courage, his adroit and unanswerable arguments in the cases where he has clashed with the Occupying Power, all put him high among men, not only of his day, but of any day. An extraor- dinary and complete confidence in the ' justice of God in all of this misery pervades everything that he writes and says like some celestial light. The man may cry out in agony, but he

INTERNATIONAL EGG CONTEST

The hens in the laying contest at Storrs have made a most suspicious beginning of the second half year; the total yield from all pens for the 27th week amounted to 4866 or more than a thousand eggs better than for the corresponding week last year; this is the highest production of any week since the competition started, more than six years ago; the best previous record was made two years ago in the 18th week when the yield amounted to 4724 eggs. The management of the competition has never entertain tained any real hopes of obtaining 5000 eggs in one week from the 1000 hens in the contest; ;-it now looks, how ever, as if this mark is entirely feasi- bIe; last weeks yield was at the rate of little over 691z per cent; an in crease of less than per cent. in the rate of laying would raise the total to 5000 eggs, of course it is realized that the last per cent. would come hard; it is more or less analogous to the proverbial Hast straw"
 The best previous weekly record for any single pen in the current contest has now been raised two eggs. Ingle- side Farms pen of Barred Rocks from Palenville, N. Y, and Albert T. Lenzen's White Rocks from North Attleboro, Mass, tied for first place with 62 eggs each. Greendale Farms White Leghorn's from Greendale, N. Y, won second place for the week with production of 61. Henry E. | Heine's pen of the same breed from Lakewood, N. J., was third with 50 eggs. The Agricultural College pen of "Oregons' from Corvallis, Ore. and three pens of Leghorns entered by B. S. Ellis, Vineland, N. J., Clifford I. Stoddard, Woodbridge, Conn.,, and | George Phillips, Ceymour, Conn.,, all tied for fourth place with 5s eggs each.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:

AMERICANS
 KNOW A GOOD THING
Trust the People to Find Out
 What is Good for Them

All over the country folks are learn ing, that after the long hard winters pull, lack of green food and fresh air they are usually run down, have no appetite, are nervous and in bad shape generally.
 Spring to them is a season to be dreaded, their thin, watery, poisoned clogged blood and weak nerves robs them of all ambition or desire to work and takes the pleasure out of life. For such men and women doctors are recommending Phosphated Iron which goes to the very root of all blood impurities and nervous trou- bles. They claim it helps purify the blood by making it over anew, while the way it relieves tired, Jagged out nerves is almost too good to be true. The confidence that the American people and prominent doctors have shown in Phosphated Iron, while re- markable, is not surprising, as it is one of those honest preparations that never disappoints. As a man said in recommending to his neighbor, Its results that count, and you can bank on Phosphated Iron it is the goods, everyone that tries it is a booster, it sure did put me on my feet when I was almost down and out"
 Every man, woman and, child that has thin, watery, impure blood, no strength, or appetite, weak nerves and is all played out generally, can come back strong, be a live one once again, enjoy restful sleep and get up facing the world with a smile if they will try Phosphated Iron, the red blood and nerve builder.
 40 insure physicians and their pa tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put in capsules only; do not take pills or tablets. Insist on capsules.
