John l.. Lewis president of the unit

latter by Thomas T. Brewster, head
OF the coal operators association.
Leaders and members OF both we're

Informed OF the attack on the un

said there was bare chance Of some

The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. w. BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and q pansy

same spot Of ground. In one case, You
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get . flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seeo
and get opium 10 dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out Of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. y,
long since found out what il naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned il all
through treating thousands of cases. Tho
result of his studies was medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for <backache, head
ache, weakening drains, bearing.down
pains, periodical irregularities, pelvic in
flammations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DIR.

safe woman's tonic SO good that druggists
everywhere sell 1t.

New York.-America has not yet
found a fitting name for the girl Of
sixteen. The English call her the
'fiapper," and the Anglo-Saxon world
uses the expression, whether or not 1t
approves of it. In America 1t Is not
liked, but no one has risen to put
this type of young person In q niche
and give her name.
And she Is quite important, pro-
claims fashion writer. She deserves
a strong appellation-a quick, vibrant,
significant name for her class, her
type and her virility. We have
hurled under the cObwebs of oblivion
the "sweet sixteen" phrase. Booth
Harrington has made the one word
seventeen" classify, at least for
America, the youth of our land, with
It's awkward, stumbling tendencies to-
ward manhood, its budding emotional
ism sternly suppressed through pride
and shame, its desire for girls COM
pany, and its contempt for that de-
sire. But If we applied the single
word sixteen" to that gay, ecstatic,
poised, self-assured, highly educated,
superintelligent, adventurous class of
tall, slim things that spread over the
land, usually setting the pace for
their mothers fashions, 1t would be
puerile.
1t is difficult to be pessimlstic II one
keeps close to the side Of girls Of that
age. Their outlook ON life, their faith
In themselves and the world, their I'M
bounded ability to find pleasure un-
aided by anyone else, renews youth In
middle age. They are no longer crea-
lures held on leash. They are rare
ly asked to obey; they are constantly
consulted by their mothers, and they
usually take an intelligent part In the
management Of their home. its social
environments, its financial expendl-
lures, its ideals, and Its ambitions.
Granting these thlngs-and every
one does grant them who has had any
close companionship with the typical
American girl, 1t Is natural that her
interest in clothes should be strong,
and not only strong but usually ex-
ceedingly good. She dresses herself,
as 4 rule, better than her mother can
dress her.
Many Cater to Girls.
Working downward--or upward,
rather-through these psychological
phases of girlhood among the Anglo
hn
Americans, one finds the reason for
the establishments of many success
full dressmaking houses which cater to
young girls. Few of the great estab-
lishments here or ABROAD neglect the

twelve until she makes her bow to

by houses that expend much in

PRINCIPLE OF SCOUTING.

Scouting Is becoming an important
factor In the successful raising Of
boys to manhood. The scout move
ment develops the sense of duty in
the yOungster that enables him to
probe within himself for the manly
characteristics. It's man-slze job to
he done in a mans way, and w. A..
Perry, the editor of Scouting. offers n
few lines on that subject:
II am not interested in scouting In
a high-priced school amid landscape
gardening, and statuary, and drinking
fountains-all made by somebody else
i am interested In forest far from
civilization, where i must either con-
quer nature-or confess myself n
weakling. 1t is fine thing to teach
boys to stand in line with spOtless uni
forms and win the applause of crowd
gathered to witness dress parade.
But l would rather develop boy, so
that he could walk alone into a world
Of wickedness, conscious of the great
laws back Of it all, with a spirit which
would make him forget self and fight
for the right"

SCOUT ASLEEP KEPT SECRET.

But, mamma, what did say7
What did I say?" There was anxi-

night before, and had been cautioned
not To reveal the password of the

Next morning his mother asked him
what made him so nervous during his
sleep, telling him he had talked all
night long, according to the story
reaching J. f. Pershlng, scout execu-
tive of Oklahoma City, a cousin of Gen
eral Pershing.
When assured that the secret word
was still sacredly kept he breathed
