How to Prevent Pneumou,.

At this time of the year cold Is very
easily contracted. and IL left to run its
course without the aid OF some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know OF no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. We have used il quite ex-
tensivaly and IL has always given entire
satisfaction-Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
TO be certain preventive OF pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds and Ia grippe, we have
never yet learned Of a single case having
resulted IN pneumonia. Persons who
have weak lungs or have reason to fear
an attack Of pneumonia, should keep the

Fall River, Mass, Dec Sat a general
meeting of the cotton manufacturers to-
day, it was voted unanimously to reduce
all wages In the mills. the amount and
time Of the reduction being left 10 COM

Of the matter. Il is understood that the
cut will be not less than 10 Per cent and
il viii go into effect January !. The cut
viii affect 5000 operatives, VINO are paid
an aggregate weekly wage of $4,000.
The price OF print cloths for a long time
has been the lowest in the history Of the
trade, while the demand has been only fair
Under these conditions the mills have been
selling at loss and the stock of goods
has been increasing
The committee has obtained the Signature
of every manufacturer in the city, except
one, who is understood to be D. A Bray
ton, OF the Durfee mill, a privats cor
poration.
1t is anticipated that the price Of weav-
ing a cut OF print cloth will be reduced
from IS 10 is ce-ts.
In August, 1894, a cut OF 10 per cent was
ordered. but in April OF the next year an
advance by the Fall River Iron company
OF the same amount necessitated similar
action on the part Of the rest Of the mills,
and wages have been paid on this basis
ever since. The attitude OF the employees
on the matter can hardly be stated until
they have had chance TO talk II over,
and none OF the labor leaders viii say
much about the subject until meetings
have been held
The feeling is prevalent that before the
matter is settled there VIII be strike, but
how large a proportion OF the operatives

this thing thy name shall be Dennis

much potatoes. onions, mustard, horse

though they be cheap as all outdoors,
cause the butter-maker to gnash his
teeth exceedingly and buy his own but

6. Thou shalt not set thy can of
nights milk in the cellar with the cover
off in order to use it for a trap to
catch rats and mice therein, neither in
the woodshed, as a temptation to thy
neighbor,s cat.
7. Thou shalt not carry away more
skim milk or buttermilk than thy share
lest some shall say concerning thee:
''For wonder, one hog carrieth food
for another"
s. Thou shalt not use unclean cans,
but shall cause thy cans to be washed
every day, and the seams and crevices
thereon, for filthy can is abominable

shall visit wrath upon him who bringeth
it.

City Teachers Election.

The city school board held meeting
Friday night last, the principle object
being. to decide upon the corps of
teachers for next year. Principal Bar
ber's report for the school year just
closed was read, and placed on file.
Prof. Ed. 7. Barber was then re-
elected as principal for another term.
after which the board went into secret
session to select the balance of the
teachers. Clerk Dodge gives the fol.
lowing list of teachers elected:
CENTRAL BUILDING: High school,
Miss Allie Reynolds; other teachers,
Misses Drue Hogue, Helen Turner
and Ella Day.
WEST BUILDINGS: Mrs. Anna Par
ker, Misses Allie Hossack, Blanche
Nimocks and Nellie Matthewson.
EAST BUILDINGS: Mrs. d. Patterson
Misses Marie Swartz, Katie Vollmer
and Nellie Morgan.
No janitors for any of the buildings
are yet elected. The last years
teachers not re elected are Reno
Thatcher, Ida Zimmeht and Mae
Woodburn. 1t required a number of
ballots to settle the choice of the board
on some of the the teachers, and out
side of Prof. Barker, Miss Reynolds
and Mrs. Patterson, all teachers were
elected by only a bare majority Of the
hoard. This may account for the sex
ecutive session.
After the business part of the meeting
closed the members of the board par
took of ice cream and strawberries at
the expense of President Luce and
Treasurer Chapman.

Ten OreamerY Oommandments.

A writer in an Iowa paper gives the
following news Ten Commandments,
especially adapted to the people who
haul milk to the creameries:
1. Thou shalt not slumber late in
the morning, but thou shalt arise early
and deliver thy milk to the factory. for
he that goeth late causeth the butter
maker TO use much profane language.
2. Thou shalt not cast all the dirt
thou canst brush off thy COW into the
bucket.
8. Thou shalt not take any cream
for thy tea or coffee, for when thou
gettest thy dividends one shalt say to
another, "why taketh it more milk

The place to take the true measure
of a man is not in the market place
nor in the amen Corner, nor the
forum nor the field, but by his own
tireside. There he lays aside his mask
and you may learn whether he's an
angel, king or cur, hero or humbug
We care not what the world would
say about him, whether it crown him
with jewels or pelt him with eggs; we
care not copper what his reputation
may be. If his babies dread his
home coming and his wife swallows
her heart every time she asks him for
five dollar bill. he's a fraud of the
first water, even though he prays
night and morn till he is black in the
face and howls hallelujah till he
shakes the eternal hills-Lexington
