The Wage Committee ofthe Window Glass

the next fire, have held several informal con-

said a manufacturer yesterday, ''that the
scale they are drawing up will contain many
reductions. The members of the associa-

We shall insist on reduction and are pre-

vention of manufacturers has been called
and will be held in New York City in
week or two when some definite con-

facturers, 1 see, are anxious for an
equalization of wages all over the country,
and we also want equality. Heretofore the
Western district has fixed wages and the
Eastern men took the scale and

A STARTLING FACT.

The diseases of the kidneys and urinary or
gans are much more common than are gener-
ally supposed. Beginning by weakness in the
back, accompanied by pain, which at first may
be so slight as to cause little or no inconven-
fence to the persons afflicted, still as the dis
ease progresses there are presented chain of
symptoms which eventually lead to
graver difficulties: there is an in
creased pain in the small of the back
and in the region of the groins, high colored
urine with brickdust sediment, scanty or
copious flow. with frequent desire and pain in
voiding it. Not only do the organs themselves
become organically diseased, terminating in
gravel or stone in the bladder, diabetes or
Bright's disease, often ending in that most
fatal condition, convulsive ureamia, but are
one of the most potent causes of rheumatism
and dropsy. The physicians of the Polypathic
Institute also treat successfully all forms of
skin and blood diseases: also clubfOot, tumors,
rupture, ulcers varicose veins, piles and de-
formities.
Please remember that the physicians of the
the Polypathic Institute are not travelling
doctors. but are permanently located. They
have been established in Pittsburg for nearly
