Poem For Today
FULFILLMENT.
I knew that flowers sleeping
Within their winter's bed.
Safe in their hearts were keeping
Spring's blossoms gold nnd red.
And, too, I knew tint singing'
Of birds I'd hear again,
And April clouds come bringing
Their breath of gladuing rain;
And underneath the sighing
Of gloom v branches bare,
Spring's greening bads were Irving
To show their glories rare.
Just as niv faith was singing
Last winter in the cold,
Here springtime now is bringing
Her richness manifold.
Ami so I'm still believing
That when sweet spring is spent
J'nir summer will he weaving
Jler golden blandishment.
-Merrill Arthur Yotliers.
'T"JIE one overwhelming need in the country today is
A a law to protect the people from a labor walk-out
m uic industries essential to tlie public welfare. 13y a law
we do not mean merely a statute makiiiij such a walk-out
iuet;m ior as tue situation in Kansas todav demonstrates.
no law can be drawn that will make men work, when they
don't want to. The law must include concessions to labor
which will he .so fair find so uist. that the Croat mass oi
labor will be ready to abandon some of its nrivcletres. it
order to secure the support of public opinion, essential tc
its HuccesstuI participation m the industrial life of the na-
tion.
J lie present railroad tie-im illustrates the futilitv of
Uncle Ham trying to continue business at the old stand
Bclorc any arrangement can be made with labor, labor
must first be capable of guaranteeiiiGr the enforcement of
the provisions ot such an arrangement. The trouble today
is not between labor and railroads but between the present
1 I! 1 II i; 1 1 j .... A
cmu-is ui j.ujur anu me iwncai elements witnin tne ranits.
1 he fight which men like Stone and Gomners are mak
ing today to restore discipline within the ranks ot labor
is a fight in which every American citizen has a vital inter
est, j I: chaos and virtual rebellion are to be avoided the
authority of the conservative labor.lcadcrs must be main
tained. To take advantage of labor's nrcsent, nredicanient
to aid the insurgent forces in overthrowing I heir officials,
merely to gratify a. long-standing capitalistic grudge,
would constitute a blunder of far-reaching consequences
and incalculable proportions. It might injure labor tent
porariW and allow a temporary burst of power for bit
business, but its reaction would be unavoidable and the
harvest would come close to anarch' and ruin.
The present situation truly represents a national crisis
Unless congress awakens soon and stops its senseless poli
tical sham battle, there won t be . any presidential cam
paign to conduct. The government should step into the
breach before it is too late, insist first upon the operation
of the rajlroads, and second, call a representative confer
ence representing all tho interests involved and draw up
a program upon which the people of the country as a whole
can. unite. Things can't go on in the present fashion. Let
congress forget about politics for a few minutes and get to
work on something that is pressing and real.

A MODERN INSTANCE.
MY NRIG IIBOIJ Swatson, passing wise, believed in
lots of exercise. He took long tramps through
dales and dells, and swung huge clubs and iron bells,
and all his frame was hard as nails; he was a model for
all males. And he would come to me and say, "AVhy
do j'ou loaf the livelong day? You arc too fat for any
use; for such a waist there's no excuse. Why don't you
walk twelve miles or nine, and have a shapely form like
mine?" And ho is dead and in his grave while I sit here
and sing and rave, lie was so blithe three weeks ago!
Then came the flu and laid him low. The same disease
mixed things with me, and lost its pep and had to flee.
The rules of health are tiresome stuff; they make life's
sledding doubly rough, and I have always let them slide,
and I hang on, where health fans died. I do not sit up,
an distress, to count the symptoms I possess. A dozen
scouts, and more than that, have told me I'm too beastly
fat; I ought to follow where they led and I hang on,
and they are dead. I eat too much, and I despise all
modern forms of exercise; and still I live and write my
verse, while wiser, men engage the hearse.
Tribune's Daily
Health Hint
(By Harriet Boewig.)
Dust is not only a carrier o dis
ease germs, it is an irrigation in
itself that affects the lungs and
throat and predisposes to lung dis
eases. Street dust, the dust from clean
ing and finishing operations, from
earth and concrete floors, and other
sources that surround ninny of us at
work, bus had tho serious considera
tion of sanitarians for some time.
There are all sorts of regulations for
tho minimizing of unnecessary dust
sources as in dry dusting and sweep
ing of houses, dry sweeping of streets
and one other thing that most, of us
forget a falso sense of security in
the presence of dust that is not easily
seen. Wo naturally keep our mouth
shut and perhaps use a protecting
handkerchief where there is a lot of
dust: but dirty streets that pulverize
ill hot weather, oro taken as a vistia
tion of providence instead of sloven
liness of the community.
It is not usually realized that in
ordinary nose breathing, thirty-five to
foiiy-two per cent of all the ilus.
we tako m reaches the lungs: and l
mouth breathing eighty per
reaches Iho lungs. The rest is swept
oat by natural protective devices.
Let us be more afraid of dust, and
e modern expression of fear is can:
on the part of individual and commu
nity to keep down the thing that en
dangers an. l;ot us get alter oar
street cleaning departments nnd oar
ry-uusting servants, (or ourselves)
Consumption is a terribly real thing,
and wo have not yet gotten anywhere
near the extermination of it; nor
pneumonia nnd bronchitis. Every
thing that predisposes to theso should
bo vigorously eliminated from our
lives. .

I remember well when we used black powder for
stump blasting and mining. Just after the Civil War the
first Giant Powder ever made in the United States was
manufactured in a little laboratory in what is now Golden
Gate park. . .. x
"Out of that beginning has grown The Giant Powder
Co., Con., with its chain of great plants and magazine stocks
throughout the entire West. And the Giant Farm Powders
arc being used for stump blasting, boulder blasting, tree
? hinting, etc., by thousands' of Western land owners. Giant
'owders have always been so popular that some people have
thought any ordinary dynamite was Giant Powder, ljut that
is wrong. The only way to get Giant economy and efficiency
is to get the (genuine Giant Powders made by the originators
of the name." , .
