He was still five feet above the coupling, however; but by leaning over the swaying Jumping edge and swinging the axe with ore hand, he panaged to cut through the rubber hose on the air connection.
 After accomplishing this. axe in hand, he leapeG doWr to the narrow ledge formed ty the bumper in front the fro..t of the cGbCose; and he only grasped the steel rod leading from the brake-chains to the wheel on the roof in time to avoid falling half stunned between the front of the ca bOOse and the rest of the logging box car; hence there was no railed front platform to which Bryce might have leaped in safety. Clinging peril ously on the bumper, he reached with his foot, got his toe under the lever on the side, jerked it upward, and then with his free hand he swung the axe and drove the great steel jaws of the coupling apart.
 The caboose was cut out But al- ready the deadly curve was in sight {; in two minutes the first truck wo-!d reach it; and the caboose, though cut loose, had to be stopped, else with the headway it had gathered, it, too, would follow tie logging trucks to glory.
 For 2. moment Bryce chung to the brakerod, weak and dizzy from the effects of the blow when, leaping down from the loaded truck to the caboose bumper, his face had smashed into the front of the caboose. His chin was bruised skinned, and bloody; his nose had been broken, and twin rivu- lets of blood ran from his nostrils. He wiped it away, swung his axe, drove the blade deep into the bumper and left it there with the haft quivering ; turning, he climbed swiftly up the narrow iron ladder beside the brake rod until he reached the roof; then still standing on the ladder, he reached the brake-wheel and drew it promptly but gradually around until the wheel-bocks began to bite, when he exerted his tre- mendouS strength to the utmost and with his knees braced doggedly against the front of the caboose, held the wheel.
 The brake screamed, but the speed of the caboose was not appreciably slackened. 'lt,s had too good start ?" Bryce moaned. "The momentum is more than I can overcome. Oh, Shir- ley, my love. God help you!"
 He cast a sudden despairing look over his shoulder downward al the coupling. He was winning, after all, for a space of six feet now yawned between the end of the logging truck and the bumper of the caboose. If he could but hold that tremendous strain on the wheel for Qssrter of

HEALTH ADVICE.
The LnE OF GERMS


Disease germs, also called bac-
terra. do not usually live for any
great length of time after they
have left the body. for, like other
/ living things, they soon perish when
they are removed from their natural
element. But they remain alive for
hours, and sometimes for days, II
they are protected against sunlight.
dryness. starvation, cleanliness and
oxygen
Sunlight is one Of the greatest
destroyers Of disease germs. They
do not survive for long in a sun
| shiny room IL exposed to the light
/ But, IL they are protected in a mass
/ of excretion. such as phlegm from
/ the throat, the rays of the sun do
not reach them. and they may sur
vive for weeks or months
Dryness kills most germs very
/ quickly. but they survive in damp
! places, especially In darkness, some-
| times for many weeks.
After disease germs are expelled
from the body they are usually not
able to obtain a proper supply of
| food and soon die of starvation.
Some few varieties. however. go in
to a resting stage. and assume a
dry, quiescent state, like a seed, for
DAYS or weeks, only to resume their
growth again when favorable con-
ditions return. This dry, seed like
form is known as a spore.
The bacteria which are able to
stand starvation and drying may be
found in dust. The bacteria of fer
mentation and decay which are able
to survive in dust are found in the
air so commonly that they readily
fall on all exposed objects and start
decomposition in decomposable
matter.
Germs of tetanus and anthrax
protect themselves from dryness by
forming spores, and these diseases
can therefore be carried In dust,
dirt and other dry material which
may have become infected months.
or even years before.
The use of soapsuds, scrubbing
brushes and sunshine are effective
in destroying disease germs Chill
dren should be taught to wash the
hands before eating. Scrupuious
cleanliness should be observed in
the sickroom to prevent the spread
of disease germs to the well.
@. Could you give me some in
formation on why a persons heart
would beat so fast and thump so
hard at the least little exertion, or
after a meal or at night when a
person first lies down. IL thumps |
real hard for a short time and then |
isn't noticeable. What for a diet |
should a person eat?
A. 1t is not possible to say mere
ly from your letter why your heart
should beat so fast and thump so
hard after exertion. 1t is.quite GER
tain. however, that you should at
once go to a good physician and
have him give you a thorough ex-
especially an examina-
ton of your heart. Rapid heart
action and the humping which you
describe usually indicate that the
heart is being pushed beyond its
limit. If this occurs only after
slight exertion it almost always
means that there is something
with the heart So much can
be done by properly regulating the
mode of life that a person suffering
from symptoms you described
should not delay a minute to place
himself under proper medical care.

THE BROKEN CONTRACT

Anthracite coal miners who are
members OF the mine workers
union profess to believe in collective
bargaining. Often they have sound
ly denounced-and rightIy'-coal
operators refusing to arbitrate labor
demands. They have been unani-
nous in protest when an operator
failed to live up to the exact word
Of a contract signed by operators
and labor union officials.
Now thousands of these miners
are striking. A strike is a strike
even though it be disguised as a
vacation" 1t is an outlaw strike.
II isn't a fair strike. This is why
it isn't fair:
The miners. through their labor
chosen oficials, made certain de-
mands for wage increases. The
scale committee of miners and
operators got together, and both
pledged themselves to abide by the
federal commissions award. The
miners, through representatives of
their own selection, agreed to ac-
cept the findings of that commits
sion. Naturally this carried with it
the acceptance of the award by the
majority of that commission, for
this is the land where majorities
rule.
The majority report awarded
wage increases of from II per cent.
TO 25 per cent. The minority report
contained larger increases. Presi-
1ent Wilson, to whom the reports
we're referred, accepted the major
ty report. So did the miners union
oEcials. They signed 1t. 1t then
,ecame a contract arrived at by
collective bargaining, the very thing
abor has so long fought for.
But thousands of miners took
vacation"
Labor of America cannot succeed
long these lines. Neither labor
Tor business can stand upon broken
contracts, nor can either expect tho
,ther, or the public, to support the
light of collective bargaining if the
,iven word is mere fiction, and the
lgning of an agreement mere SUBJ
erfuge to collect some dollars one
otherwise get.
The right of collective bargaining
, the very breath of life to labor
nionism. Without it labor union
SIN would be nothing. With it
abor commands an equal footing
nth capital.
BY the outlaw strike and the
roken word labor places an ever
'idening gulf between it and pub
C sympathy and public support
rithout which labor can make little
