Every man who has a garden has a medicine chest in his back yard. In the onion, for example, he has a sulphur oil which gives the onion its reputation as a remedy for insomnia. There are certain oils in turnips and parsnips that have aperient and diuretic properties. There is solanin in tiie potato, and spinach contains iron. Cabbage is highly regarded as a preventative and corrective of scurvy and scrofula. The composition of the tomato is chemically so subtle that II is not yet fully understood, although several active principles have been isolated and names have been given Io them. Thus the man who cats freely of vegetables is taking medicine without paying for a pre: cri' ticn —Bortland Oiegouiau.

CHICAGO STYLE I Masons on the New School House Give Exhibition of City Labor Strike. ENTIRE FORCE OUT All But Eight Returned to Work on Invitation— All Smooth Now. Brick masons working on the new high school building, corner Fifth and Adams street, "struck” this morning, after "growling” for several days, and for two hours, all work was at a standstill. It looked serious for a while but the contractor, W. F. Peterson, of Chicago, his sub contractor, Mr. Grim of Rochester, Superintendent Wines and others interested got on the job and soon had things fairly well straightened out. At noon every body was working good except those weeded out. The trouble came about when a number of Chicago brick masons were brought here, owing to a local shortage of labor. These men had been drawing seventy-five cents an hour m j Chicago and the scale paid here was seventy. After the first pay day they began grumbling and a week ago Monday refused to go to work at Hie old price. After a day or so the price was increased to 7214 cents per hour. I Yesterday they began threatening again and those in charge coaxed them to remain until Mr. Grim and Mr. Peterson got here, expressing the opinion that the 75 cents per hour asked would be paid. However, Mr. Grim re-! fused and the strike resulted. Mr.' Grim said the serious thing about it was not the controversy over pri'-e but the fact that the Chicago men or rather a part of them seemed to think they were out on an excursion where they could draw Chicago wages but "lay down” on the job. As a result Mr Grim discharged all the men and then invited those who wanted to "work” for 72% cents an hour, to return and those who didn't to get away at once. Os the eighteen brick layers on the job. ten returned and eight quit. The work is going right along and the men in charge say the labor shortage will be over in a few days and everything will be lovely. The building is up to the first floor and Mr. Peterson is confident the roof will be on by December. — o J. W. Brodbeck went to Fort Wayne today on business. M.
