units--the association, Western Unioi

effort to adjust all wage disagree

At a conference held recently be
tween Postmaster General Burleson
officers of the telegraph companies
and members of the association il
Washington, Mr.. Burleson ordered
that certain discharged employees b.
reinstated, that the scale of pay b.
advanced 10 per cent, and promised
to take up the matter of further wag
adjustments of telegraphers to NEE
the high cost of living. Wage in
creases as high as 40 per cent will b.

opinion of the vice president, whel
the matter is laid before a conference
which is to be held in Washington
some time during the month of DC

The Average Pay.
The average pay of telegraphers a
the present time is approximately 81
a month on the basis of an 8-hou
day with time and one-half for over

said that the maximum number O

FRENCH WOMEN
TEND GRAVES OF
AMERICAN BOYS
Floral Tributes Oft Renewed
At Burial Places of U. S.
! Soldiers on Slopes Of
Mount VaIerian.

Paris, Sept. 8.-Upon the eastern
slope of Mount Valerian are buried
the $50 American soldiers who have
died in Paris hospitals. Although the
cemetery has been in use only three
months, it is sought out by reverent
American visitors and the graves,
marked by the interviewed colors of
the two republics, are constantly
decorated with flowers.
Not content with acting as god
mothers to the American soldiers
who return to Paris on furloughs,
French mothers whose sons have died
that liberty might live have adopted
the boys from the United States even
in death. To each little cross on
Mount Valerian there is pinned a
card showing that some woman has.
vowed the grave never shall be with
out a wreath or vase of flowers. Some
of the floral pieces are of elaborate
workmanship.
From the slopes of Valerian the
beautiful panorama of the Paris re-
gion spreads out, for the imposing hill
is one of the most effective defenses
of the city. Visitors have said it
seemed to them that even in death the
young Americans are standing guard
over the Paris they died to protect.
The oldest grave in the cemetery
is that of Private Bought, of the l02d
infantry, who died March 26, last.
Most of the plates tackled to the
wooden crosses bear more recent
dates, and the majority of the SOL
diers lying there belonged to the
marine corps.

boys were nearly heart-broken when
they had to put Trouble" in a crate

Head Of London Medical Society Ad.
vises Doctors to Keep Out Of
Politics.

fArMNst-s 1872 rTHsastF 49, ~ 4NHtEN a.gfF H1F4N
DIR. Arthur Francis Voelcker, in his
presidential address to the Medical So
ciety Of London recently, said that
they had lately been urged to secure
the return Of medical men to parlia-
ment, but while recognizing the excel
lent services such men had rendered
parliament, could they seriously say
that even a fifth Of the medical party
in parliament would. add to Its utility?
ut has always seemed to me-" he
continued, that the less medical men
have to do with professional politics
the better.
1--WE must be prepared for q minis
try Of health" he proceeded, "and see
that 1t is given loyal support in every
thing which makes for the health Of
the community and that the ministry
himself is the selection OF the profess
sion and not Of any political party.
Some of us feel that 1t will be an
evil day when the state by its medical
service undertakes the care Of the
health Of the individual. The profess
sion Of medicine is so eminently hui
man and the services so personal that
It may be feared that as no man can
serve two masters so no medical man
can serve both the state and the pa
tent simultaneously"

prepared by the United States Depart

Cheap feeds, such as straw and corn
slower, have a place in the horse RAJ
ton. For growing colts and for horses
doing hard work these roughages may
be fed in limited quantities, supple
mentary to a more nutritious ration.
A caution is timely inaregards to feed
ing bulky roughages low in nutrients.
Horses have comparatively small
stomachs and their digestive anatomy
is in no way suited to handle a great
bulk of feed. Little n~ourishment Ia
derived from a pound Of such rough
age, and in maintaining a hard-work-
ing animal too great a bulk Of feed
would necessarily be taken into the
body. It is therefore desirable to conn
bine with a limited quantity of stover
or straw sufficient legume hay, grain,
or other nutritious feed to meet the In
dividual requirements Of the horse.
A small portion of some laxative feed,
such as silage, roots, bran, or alfalfa,
may well be included in q ration con-
tanning a large proportion Of corn

siderable disfavor among horse feed

SOY BEANS FOR PIGS.
Found to BE About 10 Per Cent supe-
rior to Wheat Middlinas in Test
at Wisconsin.

AS a supplement to cornmeal for
growing and ~fattening pigs, the Wis
consin station found that ground soy
beans proved about 10 per cent supe-
rior to wheat middlings, figuring the
cost Of the feeds as the same. The In
diana station compared rations of two
parts of cornmeal and one part of
soy-bean meal with cornmeal and
wheat middlings in equal proportions
and with five parts of cornmeal and
one part of tankage for pork produc-
ton. The soy-bean ration produced
the largest daily gains, and this with
the smallest quantity of feed consumed
for each pound of grain.
