Los Angeles was declared the unan-

convention Of the A. F. of L. after
Birmingham, Ala, and st. Petersburg,
Fla, had also been placed in nomina-

When Secretary Frank Morrison
was calling the roll of the cities NOM

nominated st. Petersburg, moved that
the roll call be discontinued and that
Los Angeles be made the unanimous
choice of the convention. The motion
was seconded and the California city

the right to combine for shortening
their hours and raising wages, JUS
tice James F. Smith, of the District
of Columbia supreme court, points out
in a decision on a suit for an injunc-
tion filed by a, New York contracting
firm against the Painters Union and
its Washington local. The object of
the suit was to prevent the Washing
ton Union from demanding the New
York wage scale and the New York
fve-day work week on word done in
Washington.
In deciding that the employer is not
entitled to an injunction and that the
unions are within their lawful rights
in demanding recognition of the New
York scale, the court said:
'The purpose of labor unions to
secure to their members higher wages
and shorter hours or less days of
work is not unlawful. Laborers and
artisans Individually have the indis-
putable right in this country to say
on what terms they will accept en-
ployment, and the employer on his
part is free to accept or reject the
terms demanded for service. That
which is the right of one laborer or
artisan is the right of every other
laborer or artisan, and if thousand

threat, a united demand that cer-

Science Of Animal Feed
Promises Some Changes

In addition to the question of vita
minis, there is still another recent dis
covery in the science of animal feed
ing which promises to bring about
just as radical changes in our feed
practices. 1t has been known for
many years that the feeding of cereal
grains and other substances low in
mineral matter or ash was not only
uneconomical but In many cases was
dangerous. Very little thought was
given to this question, but of late
years the conclusion has been reached
by the leading nutrition experts that
this was due to the low mineral mat
ter as ash content Of such feeds.
Practically all grains and carbonhy-
drate feeds are low In mineral mat
ter or ash, while the protein feeds are
unusually rich in them. This accounts
for the fact that protein feeds have
met with such universal success In
the usual feeding rations.

PROPER FEEDS FOR
FATTENING CATTLE

Cottonseed meal may be used profit
ably In the fattening of beef cattle for
market. and only fat cattle will pay
returns to the feeder.
I'm feeding beef cattle, we must
take advantage Of certain facts, then
give attention to the Details" says
Prof. r. s. Curtis of the animal hus-
bandry department at the North Caro-
lima State college. zone of these facts
is that the staple fattening food for
beef cattle is heterogeneous one which
normally produces growth rather than
fat. But this cottonseed meal is
good fat producer If fed properly, and
from IS to So per cent of it's fertiliz
ing value is incorporated in the ma
nure. The other fact is that to sell
beef cattle profitably, they must be
fat"
Professor Curtis states that people
do not like fat beef and sometimes
compel the butcher to trim off part
OF the fat; yet, the fact remains that
to properly condition beef animal, he
must be fat, and naturally there is
some surplus deposited In certain
places. as over the back, the loins,
ribs and intestines. This is natures
way.
steer may be put in condition by
using cottonseed meal as the concen-
trate. The steer must never be al
lowed to get off feed but should be
started off on one pound of cottonseed
meal per day, supplemented by all the
roughage he will consume. Professor
Curtis points out that cattle have four
stomachs, and If they are to get ev-
erything out Of their feed, there must
be sufficient amount Of roughage to
fill the paunch reasonably full each
day.
Professor Curtis suggests that one
pound of cOttonseed meal be used
with five pounds of bulls or more to
start with. Gradually increase this
amount of cottonseed meal during a
30-day period until each animal is get
ting one pound of the meal to each
100 pounds of live weight. This can
easily be figured out and the increase
made gradually about two or three
times each week until the full amount
is being fed. Steers should be fed
twice each day and the troughs kept
clean and sweet.

what physical hazards the young
freshmen had gone through between

the tree, I could only imagine. How
they had ever reached the topmost
branches without breaking their necks
or wrecking the tree I could not
understand. Whatever mechanical
aids they had utilized to reach to the
most dangerous arboreal distances had
been removed, and the tree stood, full
fruited. to the most remote twig.
They had figured out the impossible
because they had wanted to do so. If
the task had been assigned them by
their fathers or by some instructor the
protests which would have arisen
could have been heard into the next

good deal in our attempt to do difficult

z VERY mother and housewife who
wishes to keep her family in good
health should be familiar with the
more common symptoms of sickness.
BY knowing the signs of threatened or
approaching illness and by promptly
calling them to the doctors attention.
she may be able to save her family
from an illness that might have been
serious, if not taken In time.
The most common and obvious
symptom of sickness is pain. No per-
son who is In perfect health ever suf-
fers either pain or aches. No one
likes to have pain of any kind. Our
Christian Science friends say that
pain is evil, but 1t isn't Pain is the
body's danger signal. 1t is the red
light that warns of danger ahead.
Whenever pain occurs, 1t means
that something is wrong somewhere
The layman generally thinks that the
pain is where the trouble is or rather
that the trouble is where the pain Is !;
but this Is often far from being the
case.
The nerves are the body's telegraph
system. When any irritation occurs,
nerves carry the news to the brain.
So we really feel pain In our brains,
just as we see and hear the smell In
our brains. But the brain through
some of its numerous nerve branches
may refer this sensation to other
parts of the body.
The pain in angina pectoris. for in
stance, though caused probably by
some condition In the heart, is felt In
the left shoulder and arm ;e,pain In
gladstone cases Is often felt In the
right shoulder and back. But wher-
ever felt pain is sign that something
Is wrong
Fever has long been recognized as
sign of illness. A hot, dry skin,
flushed face, bright eyes and restless
kind. Chills or general feeling of
chilliness are also often present.
Anyone with signs of fever should
be put to bed and kept there until the
doctor comes.
Loss of appetite in ordinarily
healthful persons and especially chill
dren, is almost always a sign of some
thing wrong. In children 1t may SIM
ply mean that the child has over
eaten and that the stomach is calling
for rest. But If ii continues for any
length of time and especially If it
be carefully looked into.
Any eruption on the skin should be
carefully investigated. Swelling of
the hands or feet, puffiness around the
eyes, bad breath and coated tongue,
discoloratiOn or pallor of the skin,
swelling or Jumps in any part of the
body or any unusual kind of body
discharges should all be regarded as
suspicious.

WHEN TO KEEP CHILDREN
HOME

TT is just as important to know when
as 1t is to know when to send them.
Any child who has a fever, cold or
a sore throat should certainly be kept
at home until he feels well again. If
he is allowed to go to school, he not
only Injuries himself and may develop
a much more serious illness, but he is
also danger to all the other children.
The contagious diseases which are
most common among children are
diphtheria, scarlet fever measles,
whooping cough. humps, chicken pox,
tonsilitis and grip or influenza. None
of these diseases develops at once.
There is usually a period of two or
three days or even a week from the
time when the child first begins to
feel unwell until the disease has de-
veloped to point where the signs are
plain enough so that the doctor can
say positively Just what the disease is.
This is what doctors call the incuba-
ton period
During this period, the child is all
too likely going to school. Most par
ents and many teachers think that
any child that is able to be out of bed
is well enough to go to school. Hun
dreds of cases of diphtheria, measles
and scarlet fever have been due to
this belief Most of the commonest
forms of children's diseases are
catching" before the child is sick
enough to go to bed.
No child with sore throat should
ever be allowed in school. 1t may be
only some temporary irritation, 1t may
be common cold, or it may be the
first sign of diphtheria, measles, scar
let fever or influenza.
No child with an eruption or break.

site. In any case. child with skin
eruption belongs at home.
Other conditions may indicate that
the child should be kept at home for
his own sake. These are fever, head
ache, coughing, constant sneezing.
running nose and vomiting.
In large family where there are
other children, the child who shows
signs of some approaching illness
should, of course, not only be kept
away from his schoolmates but from
the other children of the family as
well. One case of contagion in fam
lily may be due to accident. Two are
the result of ignorance or careless
ness.
