THE cooperative marketing move

margins and distributive costs. 1t is
no new thing. 1t has been carried on

Denmark through cooperative market

that the producers receive ~ cents

OF Columbia University.

There Is a strong tendency to
eat too much meat, fish and eggs
In proportion to vegetables and
fruits.
Professor Sherman Of Columbia
University has said that In gener-
al It Is well to allow at least as
much money for the purchase Of
vegetables, fruits and milk as for
the purchase OF meats, fish and
eggs.
why? Let US consider fruits
especially. Fruits supply a much
needed acid substance. in the
digestive tract. =
Fruits have a laxative tendency
and keep the system In a good
condition. Fruits supply flavor
which Is natural, also sugar which
is natural sugar. They give, when
cooked, variety in the. menu and
In a raw state are pleasing to the
Many housekeepers consider
fruit expensive, and IL 1t Is IN

what the body needs most and

supposed necessary foods.

UNION SUEDFOR
S5O,OOO'BY SIPE
Harrison County Coal Opera
tor Charges Miners With
Refusing to Sign.

CLARKsBURG. W. va, Oct. 5.
Suit for $4,000 damages was
instituted today in circuit court
here against the United Mine
Workers Of America by H. NJ.
Sipe, local coal opertaor, who
charges that the union has. persis-
tently refused to sign an agree
ment with him as a result OF
which he Is unable to operate the
Miller mines, near WIlsonburg,
leased by him from the Hudson
Coal Co.
The alleged refusal is describ-
ed to be based upon the fact that
the Miller mine is still under the
direction Of the Hudson Coal Co.,
which is operating its Lewis mine
near Reynoldsyille, on the non.
union basis.
The suit is based on the opin-
ion in the famous Coronado case,
the Supreme Court holding that
the United Mine Workers OF
America is responsible for acts OF
the local unions and that the or
ganization may be sued as a cor
poration. With the filing Of the
suit attachment proceedings are
made on the check-off in the
hands OF every coal company
working on the union basis in
Harrison County.
The Miller mining plant EN-.
ploys about $50 men and has a
capacity Of 600 tons daily. Sus-
pension Of the plant, sipe declares
has caused him to lose more than
$4,000, the sum he sues to re-
cover.

The average age OF Civil War
pensioners on the rolls Is Is, their
expectancy Of longer life five and
one-half years, death will erase
the names Of $4,000 of them this
year and $4,000 next, the total
annual appropriation to provide
for them and their widows and
the handful of survivors from
the Mexico and early Indian wars
amount to S300,000,000. These
are facts cited by Senator Bursum
Of New Mexico, author Of the
new pension bill which bears his
name and which the Senate has
already passed and the House
will concur in early in the next
session. It can be forecasted with
certainty that these venerable pa
triots and their widows will get
a Christmas present from Con-
gress, S72 per month for the vet
Grams, $50 for the widows. 1t
will take two years to get them all
on the rolls at the new rate and
the daily death rate among them
will be ever increasing. The most
interesting fact about the Bur-
sum Bill, which fact Its author
proved to the satisfaction. of the
Senate when. it was before that
branch Of Congress. is that It's en-.
actment will entail no additional
draft on the Treasury. The NOR
turary experts OF the PENSION Bur-
eau and the financial experts OF
the Treasury worked out this
problem aud demonstrated 1t. The
known equation was death.
Not so many years ago. Nathan
Bay Scott. then an honored sena-
tor from West Virginia and him

worked hard to have Congress-

Congress as too much. Senator
Scott has lived to see that rate
and much higher one fixed. One
OF the results Of the United States
