BETTER CONDITIONS DEMANDEDBY COOKS At Mass Meetings of Chefs and Common Cooks Grievances Are Aired

We never have a Sunday off. Nor yet an extra day, But plenty extra hours of work Without a cent of pay. Our skill as artists none dispute On it our masters thrive, But the daily wage they dole us out Is a dollar seventy-five. Lament of Chicago Cooks. CHICAGO, Dec. 15 The Chicago cook has an ingrowing grouch. It won't wear off until he is treated as befits the important position he occupies in society. He believes he is an artist and he says he is treated worse than a street laborer. At a mass meeting of cooks they recounted their grievances in four different languages and threatened to do something desperate. If they are not ready to present demands to the hotel proprietors on New Year's eve, they expect hey will be on the eve of one of the big conventions. "Why don't you fellows get together and insist on better wages and conditions?" asked John Curtis Kennedy in addressing the cooks. "If you are organized it won't be necessary to strike. Just go to your employers on the eve of a big convention and tell them you want certain things. You'll get what you ask if there is a strong organization behind you. You ought to have as much intelligence as the hodcarrier, but you haven't. He gets an eighthour day and a Saturday half-holiday, while all you arc asking for is a tenhour day and a six-day week." Km II Steffelin, president of the Pastry Cooks' association, said the qooks Were the most oppressed class of workers in the city. "There isn't a cIobs of workers in the city that hasn't an organization except the cooks," he said. "Why can't we organize and demand Justice? We haven't got a holiday or an extra day. We get plenty extra hours, but no extra pay for it. We all claim to be artists and surely we ought to command more than $1.75 a day." Fred Eberling of the Chicago Cooks' union said that too many cooks spoil the broth and too many associations spoil the cooks. There were five separate associations represented at the meeting, and he said the only one that would benefit the men was the Cooks' union. "When you get tired of your mutual admiration societies and join the organized labor movement, you can get better conditions," said Eberling. 'You'll never improve your conditions sitting around your clubrooms and talking about them." Eberling said there are about 4,000 cooks in the city, with only about 500 organized, but ho said they were getting stirred up and would have an effective organzation in a few weeks.

"While a coffe drinker I was a sufferer from indigestion and intensely painful nervous headaches, from childhood. (Tea contains caffeine the same drug found in coffee.) "Seven years ago my health gave out entirely. I grew so weak that the exertion of walking, if only a few feet, made It necessary for me to lie down. My friends thought I was marked for consumption weak, thin and pale. VI realized the danger I was in and tried faithfully to get relief from medicines, till, at last, after having employed all kinds of drugs, the doctor acknowledged that he did not believe It was in his power to cure me. "While in this condition a friend Induced me to quit coffee and try Postum, and I did so without the least hope that tt would do me any good. I did not like it at first, but when it was properly made I found Postum was a most delicious and refreshing beverage. I am especially fond of it served at dinner ice-cold, with cream. "In a month's time I began to improve, and in a few weeks my indigestion ceased to trouble me, and my headache stopped entirely. I am so perfectly well now that 1 do not look like the same person, and I have so gained in flesh that I am 15 pounds heavier than ever before. "This Is what Postum has done for me.

A GOOD REASON

Richmond People Can Tell You Why It Is So. Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease, and that is why the cures are lasting. This remedy strengthens and tones up the kidneys, helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause backache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints. Richmond people testify to permanent cures. Martin Bulach, tailor, 433 S. Eleventh St., Richmond, Ind., says: "In the spring of 1902, I suffered from a weak and lame back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. G. Luken and Co.'s Drug Store and their use brought me prompt relief. Since then I have had no further need of a kidney remedy, as my cure has been permanent. I gave a statement, recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, after I had used them with such good results and I still hold a high opinion of this remedy.'' For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. cussed musical comedy that Mort H. Singer will present at the Gennett on Xmas, matinee and night, will serve to introduce a new recruit in the ranks of stardom, namely George Damarel, late of the "Merry Widow." Mr. Daramel is well known to the amusement loving public of the country, but this will be the first time that he will be seen in comedy role that fits him like a glove. Among those who have helped to make this latest of musical comedies one of the big hits of the season are Miss Ruth Peeblos, last seen here as the prima donna of "The Prince of Tonight" company. Adams and Hough the well known authors have woven a delightful love story around a group of wealthy boys who having banded themselves together for their mutual protection against the wiles of all girls who are tlirts, find themselves in a quandry, as their leader known as a confirmed woman-hater has finally lost his heart to the one girl wtiom they have all been stung by. Complications follow each other in ranid succession but like all musical comedies everything ends happily. The company is a large one and a perfect Princess chorus is carried. Aborn Opera Company. The tour of the Aborn English Grand Opera company in repertoire last season to some fifty or more cities in whieh it had never appeared before was largely experimental, and the result was most significant, for their great success everywhere demonstrated that there is a large demand all over the country for the presentation of classic compositions in English and this desire had not been met for several years until the Aborn tour of last season; hence the hearty reception this organization met with everywhere. Formerly their offerings had been given each season for a decade in only half-dozen of the very large cities where long runs were possible, but in the future, they will make a tour every year between their Spring, Summer and Fall engagements in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Chicago. This year the Aborn English Grand Opera company is presenting three of the most popular works of their last season's repertoire, with three modern compositions that have been little or never heard in most cities. The list includes "Thais," "Madame Butterfly," "The Tales of Hoffman," "II Trovatore," "Martha" and "Lucia di Lammermoor." This organization is booked for January 15th at the Gennett theater. At the Murray. Theater-goers at the Murray this week are well pleased with the show that has been arranged for this week. All of the acts are good combining comedy with real meritorious work that thrills and quickens those back in the audience. There is too, a remarkable diversity in the bill, the combination being such as not to have an unwieldy preponderance in any one direction. J. F. Bannister, the well known actor, is the star in a playlet "Auld Lang Syne," in which he shows exceptional ability. He is ably assisted and keeps the audience thrilled during the entire time that the production is on the boards. Mr. Bannister has a fine presence and an easy manner that captivates. Those acrobatic Japs are always welcome on any vaudeville stage. No matter whether they travel in ones, twos or threes or an entire company, they seem to have something on the average performer of any other nationality. The Four Brahm Girls put on a musical act that is at once clever and classy. The four young ladies, all of whom are real musicians play both popular and classical music and both with equal success. Dancing Bill Halpey has been one of the biggest hits of the bill this week with his clever dancing stunts. Sufficient to say that there ajtg not been such a dancer at the Murray for a month of Sundays. According to the usual custom the theater will close for the week before Christmas and will open again on Christmas afternoon with the usual Holiday matinee. Wanted A Handhold. Meandering Mike heaved such a deep sigh that bis companion was moved to ask him what the matter was. "I was just thinking about bad roads and the wonders of science." was the answer. "This earth Is spinnin' round faster'n a railway train behind time." "Well, we ain't fell off yet." "No. But think o' what a convenience it would be U we could bare some place to grab on to while de territory slid nnder oar feet until de plsce we wanted to go to come along." Tooth's Companion.

Energy of the Human Life Should be Conserved; Speakers Commended Trusts

NEW YORK, Dec. 15. Trusts were commended by speakers at the Academy of Political Science, the conservation of human life and energy being advanced as more important to th ewelfare of the country than anything elBe. It was argued that the great corporations gave more thought and money to the protection of employes against accidents and to hygienic conditions in the factories that small employers did or were able to do. "We have counted it our good fortune," said Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale, "to dwell in a land where nature has been so prodigal that we have not neefied to fear want. We are only beginning to realize that this very prodigality of nature has produced a spirit of prodigality in men. "It is the purpose of the conservation movement to rebuke and correct this national trait and the resources of science are now concentrated in this mighty effort in that direction. "The conservation of human life will, I believe, constitute the grandest movement of the twentieth century. "Not only do human beings constitute by far the greatest part of our natural resources, but the waste of human life and strength is by far the greatest of all wastes. In the report of President Roosevelt's conservation commission, although his commission was primarily appointed to conserve our national rather than our vital resources, it was pointed out that human beings, considered as capitalized working power, are worth three to five times all our other capital and that, even on a very moderate estimate, the total waste of unnecessary loss of our national vitality amounts to one and one-half billions of dollars a year. "The premature employment of children, especially if, as is usually the case, they are overfatigued, means a shameful sacrifice in the working efficiency of the budding generation. And the employment, under improper conditions of women, especially married women, means an even more serious waste of life and strength for future generations. "Adjustments come slowly, even in these times of rapid change, and the slowest adjustment of all is the adjustment of these legal conditions which it is one of the purposes of this institution to study. When we consider that many of our judges still declare that the laws passed to restrict the labor of women are unconstitutional on the ground that in the musty law books of the past (the heritage of the unsanitary ages of the past) there can be found no precedents to justify a discrimination between men and women, we realize how sadly the law Is behind he times, and how dearly we have to pay him for the neglect of our ancestors to recognize by proper legal usages the physiological difference between man and woman. "We need industrial hygiene in eery department of industry, but particularly in certain dangerous trades. We need to follow the examples of Germany and other countries in providing greater safeguards against accidents on railways and in factories. "How little we as a nation as yet appreciate the value of modern hygiene is illustrated by the fact that a considerable number of our citizens can be misled into believing that a national department of health would endanger 'freedom.' So long as we allow 'freedom' to stunt the growth of our children, to adulterate the foods which we eat, to advertise immoral and unhygienic nostrums, so long will we continue our high death rate and disease rate. "In my opinion, the salvation of labor lies largely in industrial hygiene, and so far as labor unions help industrial hygiene they deserve the commendation of all who have the good of humanity at heart. "Continual fatigue is inimical to national vitality, and however it may affect the commercial profits of the individual, it will in the end deplete the national resources on which the national efficiency depends. Many of our railway accidents are traceable to overfatigue through very long hours of work, and statistics show that accidents to employes in factories increase hapidly as late hours of the evening approach." Professor Fisher said he was one of those who did not believe in the disruption of trusts. He found that through self-interest they were betterYou Ought To Know that impure blood with its weakening' results, unpleasant breath, headaches, unrestful nights, poor appetite, sallow skin, pimples and depression, comes from constipation BEECHflH'S PILLS have been doing good to men and women for many, many years and their value has been tested and proved.

Ing the condition of the workers they employed. Raynal C. Boiling, assistant general solicitor of the United States, seconded what Professor Fisher said about the trusts, saying he believed they were more solicitous for the welfare of their employes than are the small manufacturers. The United States Steel Corporation, he said, spent during the eighteen months ended June 30, 1911, about $1,500,000 for the prevention of accidents. No ordinary employer, he said, would do so much. "I have seen this movement," said he, "supported by such farsight, broadminded men as Judge Gary, Mr. Farrel, and the presidents of the subsidiary companies, acting under authority of the finance committee, attain in a few years a momentum which will presently bring every mill up to the standards of the most carefully safeguarded mills and will constantly raise the standards even of our best mills. "In the industrial organization of our country this is a time to see clearly and to think straight; to discard theories and to recognize facts. Our country is facing the question whether it will disorganize our industries by disintegrating them when we are daily reaping the benefits of their organization. Ask any competent investigator,

! and I believe he will tell you that the most dangerous mills in this country today are those of the small employers. Watch the opposition to such legislation as workmen's compensation and see whether it does not come chiefly from the small employers. I do not say this in condemnation they do the best they can with their small capital and scant organization and constant struggle. Only One "BROMO QUININE" That is LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE.

Rear Admiral Sir Colin Keppel was given the command of the royal yacht Victoria and Albert by Kins Edward, and on one occasion when the late kiug was on board his majesty thought he would like to steer the yacht fr a little way. Admiral Keppel took him to the wheel, and. having ascertained the proper course to steer, his majesty tried to keep the yacht in it. with rtther poor success. The vessel was being escorted by a squadron of cruisers, and the captain of one of these vessels, noticing the wabbly course of the Victoria and Albert, thought he would "rag" Admiral Keppel on his bad steering. He signaled a sarcastic inquiry as to the erratic course of the yacht, and King Edward, seeing the string of flags go up, inquired their meaning. Admiral Keppel went all the colors of the rainbow and tried to escape the question, but the king insisted. When at last he understood the meaning of the signal his majesty went off into peals of laughter, and, after he had recovered a little he ordered a reply to be signaled. A few minutes later the captain of the cruiser read this message: "Pray accept apologies, but am a bit out of practice. Edward." Then the captain retired to his cabin and kicked hlniseif.

"Burglary is a legitimate business compared with that of the 'loan sharks,' " Judge Landis said. He cited J. Car Carroll, an attorney, to appear next Monday and show cause why he should not be disbarred from practice in the federal courts. Rudolph Kullas, a former bank clerk, who with Raymond O'Neil pleaded guilty to conspiracy in defrauding a bank here out of several hundred dollars, said he had paid Carroll usudious rates of interest on loans.

The walking stick in that island would seem to mark social distinctions among men as fans do among women. Every Spaniard has a cane, the well to do own several, and the gilded youth often have a. small arsenai of walking sticks. The term "arsenal" is used advisedly, as the Porto Ricans, like the Spaniards, here quite a fondness for sword canes and dagger canes, and they make these with remarkable skill. The blades of the finer specimens come from famous smiths in Toledo and other Spanish cities and are forged from the finest steel. Some are damascened, and others are inlaid with silver and gold; some have worked upon them the name of the owner and others the name of a patron saint. Philadelphia Record.

OBSERVE FOUNDING OF KAMLOOPS, B. C.

(National News Association) KAMLOOPS. B. C, Dec. 15. The preliminary preparations for celebrating the centenary of the founding of Kamloops in 1812 by the Pacific Fur Company, are now well in hand. His Royal Highness the Governor-General. Lord Strathcona and other noted per sonages are expected to attend the opening ceremonies which will take place in September of next year and will usher in the festivities extending over an entire week. The early history of Kanloops is full of interest. After the post had been established at Astoria by the partners of the Pacific Fur Company one of their number, David Stuart, made an exploring tour to the Shuswap country in the fall of 1S11. Finding the district offered a lucrative field for trading he reported upon his return to Astoria, and at a meeting of the company, the first to be held at Astoria, early in 1S12, Stuart was authorized to establish anotheer trading post between Fort Okanagan and New Caledonia, where the Northwest company had posts. Before proceeding in this task Stuart sent Alexander Ross upon a trading excursion. Ross followed the route taken a few months earlier by his superior and arrived at "Cumcloups," as he named the Indian village at the mouth of the North Thompson river. Later he retraced his steps, and on August 24 David Stuart in his turn went to Kamloops and carried out his instuctions to build a fort. Soon after that the Northwest company established a post at the same place .in charge of a clerk in the service named LaRouque. This was the beginning of Kamloops, founded by the same men who established Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia.
