Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the Bur
ton House, Burton w. Va, and one of
the most widely known men in the State
was cured of rheumatism after three years
of suffering. He says: 81 have not suf-
fcient command of language to convey
any idea of what suffered, my physicians
told me that nothing could be done for
me; my friends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve ME of
my suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my leg
would burst, but soon after l began using
the Pain Balm, the swelling began to de-
crease, the pain to leave, and now con-
slider that am entirely cured. For sale

Arsenal Women Seek Work.

The manufacturing of soldiers
clothing by private contract, while
the former employees of the Phila-
delphia Arsenal are without work,
will be investigated by the War
Department as result of the visit
to Washington of committee of
the South Philadelphia Business
Mems Association. The commit
tee was headed by David Weir,
president of the association, and
James E. Lennon, editor of the
Philadelphia, and was accom-
panied by George Chance, of the
United Labor League.
They were escorted to the War
Department, where they called on
Secretary Alger and stated their
case to him. They told him that
the 900 women, mostly widows or
daughters of old soldiers, who or
dinarily found employment in max
ing soldiers clothing at the Phila-
delphia Arsenal, but had little or
no work since the present war be-
gan, because the contracts had been
let to private concerns ia the belief
that the clothing would be turned
out more rapidly by the latter.
These private concerns, Mr..
Lennon told the Secretary, gave the
work to sweatshops, while the
women who formerly did it at the
arsenal were left without employ
ment. Mr.. Lennon declared that,
while this was a great hardship to
the soldiers widows and others
who were deprived of their means
of livelihood, the Government
gained nothing, because the work
was not done more quickly by the
private contractors than it could be
done at the arsenal, nor was it done
as well.
Senator Penrose also assured the
Secretary that his own investiga-
ton of the matter had convinced
him the facts were as Mr.. Lennon
stated, and he made a strong plea
for a return to the old system of
making the army uniforms at the
arsenal.
Secretary Alger told his callers
that he wanted to do the right
thing in the premises, and suggest
ed that they lay the matter in de-
tail before Quartermaster General
Weeks.
General Weeks was then seen,
and he promised to send one of his
assistants to Philadelphia to make
a thorough investigation of the
matter.
The committee is confident the
investigation will result in a return
to the old system, giving work to
many women who are now idle at
the arsenal.
This is the same old story. AS
soon as word went out that army
clothing would be wanted in large
quantities the sweat shop Jews
''saw" some of the head managers
and no doubt put in their bid ac-
cOmpanied with the usual ''consid-
eration," and got the contract,
while the arsenal. women who very
naturally expected the officer of the
government to see them first, as he
was in duty bound to do, was way
laid by the sweat shop contract
