We will put aside ail begging of"the question, and oome-out straight and flat-footed..,' "Labor," as understood .by our "censor, .is" a "commodity," whioji we state that like' .'.all other commodities must on the-general7average'exchange at its cost of'production, and' there .is no reason to"ask any question regarding consistency iri getting this labor down.to its cost/but this struggle'is.simply an.attempt, dike vall other commodity struggles, to prevent it being;brought down even lower than it,is at present, and< by so doing decrease the, standard of living, by-no means a very high one in this locality. As the writer of the article in question has seen fit to enter the arc^a of 'theoretical economics," if he has any knowledge on the subject to impart showing what may.be to him fallacy, not only miners, but the, writer • and other students would be pleased to receive samp. There is one-item, which is indeed wdrthv of consideration of those \\yK'o. -continually talk of the" loss that ensues .when men go on strike, which is that their assumptions are based on the theory of continuous employment, which, as all know,' who have lived for/any length of time in a mining'com- iriunity, should they give the subject a little consideration, that when;the market haV become well stocked that there'is temporary, cessation of operations. On the front page of the Ferine,Free Press we'find a paragraph dealing with the closing down of a.mine at Ellensburg for the winter. .Now, as .this acts'in much the same manner as'does any other idleness,-whether strike, lock-out orariability to operate from any cause whatsoever, that there is necessarily no wages paid'out. ."We might ask a question here. As these men are^not working a1/ the Ellensburg mine, although for a different reason than in this district, by what; method of reasoning ,can we arrive at the conclusion that theywill have been able to save sufficient to operate mines0 and hold the "situation in"the hollow, of their heads?"

Natural and Artificial Aids Investigated " 'by Specialists <' You've often noticed how ravenously healthy children'clamor for their meals and how easily they digest meals that would give a good many of us "grown- - ups" a horrible attack of indigestion. Now you continue to fjet occasional at- . tacks of indigestion without trying to locate tho real cause of the trouble. In the case of healthy, romping children, through the fresh air and tho ceaseless activity, rain or shiiio, tho salivary processes arc constantly excited to a high activity. They haven't any greater digestivo capacity than wo nave, but nature properly prepares the" food for '• easy digestion. That's tho way Nnturo intends it to be done, nmi if wo lived right wo would cravo and enjoy our food . just as much as any child. For yours yeu perhaps havo been . treating indigestion tho wrong way. Stomach Bpuciuli>.ts havo found out that tho trouble is not always in tho , stomach itself, but in tho improper salivation and preparation of tho food for .digestion. They now treat indigestion by producing proper conditions before food roaches iho period of digestion, just tho way Nyal's Digestivo Tonio acts. It works on tlio preparatory salivatory process, excites its activity, so that food digests naturally—not artificially. This not only gives you comfort instead of pain, but gives you what 5b far bettor, a natural appetito for food that you digest and assimilate. That's what rebuilds tho tissues and puts real flesh on your bones. If you try this remedy wo know you will ho pleased, Nyal llcmcdics wo sincerely bcliovo to bo the bust medicint values, offered. 17 The lending Industries, or inoM of ynrin for Rfptoinlc r then, are about fully employed. „|. | '|(i lh(i ^^ ^ ( though labor troubles undouhl- dl> i ImiIinriw.Mlr(,rH nro ,,„,, W{|]|< ennse Home I'erllng of uncertainly, ilw ' ,m,i iln,i, ,,,„ . , , , Boh Stewart's f.millv arrived her, ^moment arrived at In tho nltlppl»-' ■"»•>»»"■» kt.th Tvo ■Am "!•'(.•' • ■ -iint ir, tiic i,r flee ntuff, whJfli means two more volr-s nc the next public nientlng.

Lecturer Says.She Has an Appetite for Intellectual Culture ' " '' Monslgnor Henry Bolo.in a lecture in London-on, "The" Young Girls'of Today," said! that between the girl of 1900 and her sister of 1910 a great gulf lay. The •' modern"' j girl ■' was'"" distinguished by an intense appetite for Intellectual' ., culture* "■ f She wished to study everythin&" and she indeed learned a great deal. Monslgnor Bolo was not~ quite convinced that the change was altogether for the better, He did not like young girl authors or students, any more than he liked those who nourished themselves on the garbage of cheap novels while making skirts --which were trousers ln disguise .".or,, hats:,which might, serve for sentry boxes. - His. sympathy was reserved for the young girls who', wished .to breathe' a higher atmosphere and who refused to consider the domains of art,' science and literature.as closed to them. The young girl of to-day deserved to be encouraged , in', her', aspirations towards Intellectual cult ire, and Monslgnor Bolo roundly ce'isured Schopenhauer for his-.definition', of, woman ,as, "an animal with''• long hair and a short mind,'\\.and his'declaration that her reading ought,to'be confined to prayer and cookery books.
