BBflH-' "Itad" Children. HSa^L A large amount of so-called naughtlMBH^Biess among children may be accounted HH^Vor upon grounds which quite exclude ^^^Hthe desirability of punishment for its |99^Hcorrection, says a writer in the Lon^^^Hdon Lancet. It may be due to the HSHfact that the child has had insuf- ' IjSHBflcient sleep or is overtired after a , Bg^Hlong day's excitement. HMMra Children may be restless or restive as ! the direct result of being under-tired: | they may h*ve been contined at home ! for the whole day owing to the in- | Hgfl clemency of the weather, and as a I HHH consequence the only apparent outlet H for their restrained physical energy is ; NH found by annoying those who have : charge of them.

The Farmer and the Auto. ' Some years ago, soon after auto- ' mobiles began to be used throughout j the United States, an agent for a New ; York house turned up at a village in j Central New York. He expatiated to j an old farmer upon the virtues of the : new macnine, dwelling upon what a *' time saver it was, and withal how fashionable it would be for the farmer to be able to ride down to the village on one of the new-fangled machiues J whenever he wanted to. "Why," said the salesman, "when- j -tr/Mi the nnst offipp h.lllk or I In CTCi J VU gV ?-V i/?-? ?* ? ? ? - . ? store, everybody will stop and stare ! | at Farmer Wilson, and pretty soon ; I you'll be the most talked of man in t I the whole country." I The farmer thought he needed a cow B more than an auto, but finally agreed jj to let the agent bring over one of his f machines. When the agent returned j I with it some days later the farmer | I took him in charge and carried him out i to the lot and showed him a fine Jersey j I tow. | I. "That's what I bought with the j money I saved up for you," said the j farmer. And without waiting for the jr agent 10 recover from his surprise he went on: "I 'lowed I needed the cow j mo'n I did the machine, an' there { *he is. Ain't she a beaut?" Whon the agent recovered his breath : he said: "You'll look funny r.'ding that cow to town, won't you?" "Ya-as," drawled out the old farmer: "but I'd look a darned sight funnier j tryin' to milk an automobile."?Judge's Magazine. New Glaus Making Methods. A departure in glass making meth- ; ods threatens almost a revolution in ! the Industry, according to Consul Bock, of Nuremberg. Should it really possess the advan- j tages claimed-it would cause serious i | damage to the blowing glass plate in- | dustry in this district, where "three- ; fourths" glass plates are chiefly manufactured. So far two methods have been employed in the manufacture of crystal plate glass and mirror and window glass, namely, that of casting and nAnr nifltnnrl 5c U1VYVJ1J&. JL liC XI <7 TO u*kiL\A iiiviuuu *o Invention of Mr. Fouroault, a Belgian, who has sold his patent to a European syndicate of plate glass manufacturers for $952,000. This syndicate consists of German, French and Belgian manufac- | turers and one Bohemian factory.

A Certain Way By Food. Every minister, lawyer, journalist, ' physician, author or business man is j forced under pressure of modern conditions to the active and sometimes i i over-active use of the brain. \'i Analysis of the excreta thrown out 1 by the pores shows that brain work breaks down the phosphate of potash, ieparating it from its heavier compau- | ion, albumen, and plain common sense ' teaches that this elemental principle j must be introduced into the body anew \ each day, if we would replace the loss | and rebuild tne urain ussue. We know that the pho?phate of pot- ; ash, as presented in certain held j grains, has an afanity for albumen and j that is the only way gvay matter in J the brain can be built. It will not an- ! sv. er to take the crude phosphate of i poir.sh of the drug shop, for nature re- i jects it. The elemental mineral mus. be presented through food directly from Nature's laboratory.

The work of per- tlj( manent rehabilitation, however, would be slow. Asked about the New York syndicate which has been organized to raise . S100,000,000 for San Francisco, Mr. m Harriman replied: pe. "I don't know anything about that movement. I believe, though, that *10 8100,000,000 could be raised for the J50 stricken city if it was shown that the money was actually needed. It would WI not be easy to raise such a fund unless orf the necessity were demonstrated. "There is no question about the solvency of San Francisco.

I IMloi to strikeF Convention Accepts Proposal of the Anthracite Operators. HARD COAL REGION REJOICES Men Return to Work Under the Old Award?Duration of Agreement to Re Determined at Conference of ' Operators and Miners' Officials? j , Baer Says Mon Will Not Suffer. ' Scranton, Pa.?There will be 110 min- i crs' strike, and the inhabitants of the 1 < anthracite valleys are jubilant. Soon 1 after the mine workers' convention assembled the report of the Scale Com- ; mittee was presented by John Mitchell 1 recommending that the men return to 1 work under the award of the Anthra-: , cite Strike Commission. In urging the adoption of the report, ! 1 Mr. Mitchell said it "was better to rc- j new the award of the commission j than to accept the operators' restricted plan of arbitration, under which he feared the wage of the highest paid men would be reduced for the purpose | of giving it to the lowest paid men. . "That might seem fair to the Board of Arbitration,'' he added, "but it { would not be fair to us. What we ' must do is to raise the lowest paid men to the standard of the best paid. From the information I have received from ' all parts of the region I am fearful that our people are not in shape for a strike. "I know there are many among us . who are not in sympathy Avith a strike movement. We must retain what we have, rather than lose what we gained , in the last two strikes. * "In deciding this question, may I ask you to do it without passion or sentiment, but with due regard to . what is best now. Whatever your de- ' cision, whether it be strike or whether 1 it be work, I ask you to remain to- , gether, accepting without reservation J the conclusion of the majority." Mr. Mitchell's remarks were heartily , applauded and there was not a dissenting voice tp the report of the Scale , Committee, which is as follows: "First?That we agree to work on the , basis of the award of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission for such period , of time as may be agreed, upon mutually between the representatives of the anthracite coal mining companies . and our Scale Committee; provided, that all men who suspended work on ^ April 1, or since tnat nine, or who . have been dismissed because they stated that they would refuse to work . if a strike were declared, are rein- J stated in their former positions and n working places. "Second?That the Scale Committee , proceed at once to meet the represen- , tatives of the coal companies with a , view to procuring an agreement upon 1 this basis. , "Third?That the convention shall re- j main in session untiL Tuesday, and the Scale Committee shall report to the convention at that time. "Fourth?That the suspension of . work shall contin^ until an agree- ] ment has been ma?kul its terms ap- ( proved by the coivIMtou." This recommendation was signed by the full Scale Committee, adopted ( mmnimnnciir hv tho convention and a telegram sent to Mr. Baer asking for a : conference. A favorable response was received. - ] A leading coal operator said: "Be assured that there will be no discrimination against the. men." A telegram was received from Mr. ] Baer to the same effect. There is general rejoicing throughout the anthracite region by mine , workers and business men over John ] Mitchell's declaration for peace in the mine workers' convention, and he is j being praised for preventing the convention from precipitating a strike which would have been long and bitter and caused widespread suffering. In the opinion of many Mitchell has j gained strength with the public by the , manner in which he has brought the ' crisis to such an outcome.

The petition is filed in the United States Circuit Court in Indiana. This suit is one more step in the com- I prehensive program of the Administra- | tion to bring within the law business men who are steadily extending monopolistic practices to every branch of trade. Attorney-General Moody gave out i this statement: "The Government to-day filed in the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Indiana a petition for an injunction against certain associations, corporations and individuals comprising what is commonly known as the Drug Trust. The parties defendant j have combined to control the prices at which proprietary mediciues and drugs shall be sold to the consumer through the retail druggists in violation of the ( Sherman Anti-Trust law.
