of rheumatism or neuralgia, and frequently
other diseases, such as kidney and liver
complaints, are directly traceable TO rheu-
matism or neuralgia. These diseases, for
some unsxplainable reason, are rapidly III
creasing, and in many instances are the
direct cause OF much sickness which 30
hides its real origin as to be mistaken for
other diseases. In curing rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sick headache, and in many cases OF
kidney and liver troubles, AthlOphoros has
wrought wonders. Those who have used
it are best qualified TO speak of Its merit.

SOME FACTS ABOUT PIecEWoRK.
How Compositors Earn Largely Increased
wages-Disastrous Results


wsges-Disastrous Results
We believe it 10 be fact as old printers
have stated TO Us, that men working at type
setting nowadays do almost twice as much
work for the money comparatively as they
did thirty five years ago, before the universal
adoption OF the piecewOrk system Then
they worked by tho week, and no man tried
TO see how much OF machine he could make
Cf himself But with the introduction Of the
piecework system it became another business
Upon the number Of types picked up de-
pended the amount Of money made. Some
men by making mere machines of themselves
hooking their noses into the space" box
and concentrating their whole energy and
nerve force on that one thing-becamc rapid
compositors and were enabled to earn largely
increased wages. Other printers who did
not care about making mere machines Of
themselves were forced to do il or &C TO
something else, for as men developed sIeed
prices for composition fell, forcing rnen TO
renewed exertions TO maintain q reasonable
rate Of wages.
To-day the system Is one OF excessive eIor-
tions and greater rapidity than ever befor"
attained; any ordinary compositor is doing
as much as two did thirty five years ago, if
not more, and yet it is only by the aid OF
powerful and ssSrcSs We organization-their
union-that printers manage to keep wages
slightly above what they were in that day.
And what has been the RESULT II any ono
has anything to say against the printers let him
lay il to that fact. We believe and maintain
that the present system OF competition and
excessive toll in all branches of business and
trade tends to drive men to liquor, insanity
and suicide, and the more you increase the
exertion the stronger is the tendency in that
direction. Men who so completely exhaust
themselves as those engaged in piecework DE-
feel the need OF a stimulant, especially SO ~
working at night.
The night compositor does not get restsl
by his forenoon sleep, but comes to the offi"s
feeling weary and nerveess. He finds that =
