Ase MISERY
WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE YOUNG
MEN OF THE DAY?

Cigarette smoking is one of the evils
which is fast increasing among the young
men of the period. It is an age of nervous
ness; nervous excitement, nervous weak
ness and debility is the growing malady of
the day. Minds are over burdened in
school, the pleasures of social life follow
business worry !; intenperance, sexual ex-
cesses or abuses over excite the already
enfeebled nerves and result in exhausting
diseases or drains upon the nervous system.
It's a drag and a handicap to every
young man to be a sufferer from nervous
debility or weakness, low spirits, irritable
temper, impaired memory, loss of will
power, and the thousand and one derange-
ments of mind and body that result from
pernicious habits often contracted through
ignorance of natures laws. The wreck of
constitution, weakened vitality and manly
power, following such habits would be
sorry ending to life in this splendid age of
learning and labor. It will fast become an
age of unsettled brains and shattered nerves
unless our young men knozO themselves.
To reach, reclaim and restore such
the aim of the publishers of book of
I36 pages, written in plain but chaste
language, on the nature, symptoms and
durability, by home treatment of such
diseases. This book will be sent sealed,
IN plain envelope, on receipt of this no.

THE ROLLING MILLS STRIKE.
What the Committee Has to Say of the Sit

What the Committee Has to Say of the Sit-
 uaton.
 A member of the mill committee of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers called at the State Herald office last night and gives the following as the strikers side of the trouble noted yesterday in the Birmingham Rolling mills:
 The committeeman says that it is not a strike but a lockout. That the con- pany requires that the men make six heats or three turns of four heats each which is in violation of the contract with the Amalgamated association. The law under which the puddlers work and from which the trouble originates, is as follows:
 ''Five heats, double turn, constitutes d days work"
 The committeeman says that five heats" are equal to ten hours work on double furnace,
 ''In yesterdays State Herald the re- porter stated that heat was equal-to an hour and thirty minutes work, which would be seven hours and half for five heats when in fact 1t takes ten hours to make five heats.
 "Gate City was reported as making thre turns of five heats each, while in re- ality she Is only making two turns or five heats each.
 The puddlers are still out in the old forge of the Birmingham mill and Will try to effect a settlement of the trouble AS vet. however, the men and the com pany's managers have had no communi- "a ation whatever, and the result can only ba SIrrniSpd.
