news to veteran fishermen who clean
their own fish. But there is always
a best way in everything. The best
way to overcome or prevent malaria,
to conquer incipient rheumatism or
kidney trouble, and to relieve
dyspepsia, blliousness, constipation
and nervousness, is to begin with
out delay, and to pursue steadily
and regularly, the use of Hostetters

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge. that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simplyto cOnstipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, SyrupO of Figs. prompt
lv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that its the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
eli important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that YOU have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co, only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laXatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest nd is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Invention That Will Enable Her to KMi
Orr Foreign Meat and Fruit Trade.
CHICAGO, Feb a0.-Contracts have been
drawn up in Chicago by means Of which
it is promised that packers and shippers
of perishable food products will in future
get along without ice. Dr. A. T. Per-
kins, now a resident of Chicago, has pat
ented n process for keeping meats, fruits
and perishable products during transpor-
tation by the use of sterilized air. His
patents extend to the antipodes. The
contract concluded here was between him

of the Australian Meas Transportation
corporation, limited, for the use Of the
process In the seven colonies of Austral-
asia.
A corporation is also about to be formed.
with headquarters in Chicago, to control
the process over the railroad lines of this
continent, and steamship lines running
from ports of North and South America.
Smart, of the Australian meat export cor
poratlon, is of the opinion that the new
process will enable Australia to ship its
meat to Europe instead of boiling it down
to make tailow, and will virtually force
American producers of dressed meat out
of the European meat market. He adds:
Moreover, it will enable us to ship our
fruit, which now rots for want Of mar
kct, to England at a season when it will
command the highest prices, and ami.

dictate has been planning for. We pro-
pose to supply the whole of Great Britain

Republican League Meeting.
CHICAGO, Feb aO-The Cutters and
Trimmers' union voted by acclamation to
strike Three great cheers followed the
putting of the question and the shout Of
AYE" which greeted it. There was not q
single dissenting voice.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2O-Fivo hundred cloth
ing cutters and trimmers spent hours last
night discussing a proposition to quit
work because their employers have re-
fused to accede to the demand of the
United Garment Cutters union for a
minimum wage and for a maximum
amount of labor. The sentiment of the
meeting was radically in favor of strike,
but vote had not been reached at this
writing. II, as seems certain, a strike of
cutters and trimmers is undertaken, near
ly 10000 sweat-shop employees, besides 800
strikers, will be thrown out of employ
mcnt. Six firms have thus far announced
to their cutters that the rate of wages
heretofore in force in their shops was to
be changed In each of these cases the
no wages to pay under the conditions i'm
posed by the manufacturers.
No Work for 10000 People.
A strike of the garment workers direct
ly means the closing down of about twen-
ty-fvc big clothing manufacturers
Within few days the manufacturers
will be compelled to discharge the men
and women who are sewing, pressing and
binding for them. There will be no work
for these hands, and cutters cannot be
sccrrcd in large enough numbers to supply
them with il. The number of these work
ing people may be estimated at from 1000
to 10000. They arc of both sexes and of
all natioDalities. The manufacturers ig-
more the strike talk of the workmen and
insist that there is no occasion for tho
opening of hostilities. A prominent lead
er of the manufacturers association said
that the big firms were not disposed to
destroy the union.
What the Employees Say.
They claim that they are simply seek
ing TO bring ABOUT poiicy which VIII. re-
suit TO an advantage for both employer
and workmen; that the system heretofore
in force is radically wrong, and that if
the change decided upon appears to be
radical it IS logical and reasonable. The
men will call upon the manufacturers
this morning and inquire if the union
scale of wages is to bc recognized in
shops. To n dead certainty the reply will
be no." and the committee will there
upon call upon the men to quit work.
The order will DO obeyed and the big
strike will be formally opened.

for tho charge that American live stock Is
diseased The live stock throughout the
