Waco, Texas. December ALI the
printing offices in Waco that employed
pressmen. except the Times Herald. are
involved in wrangle with the union, and,
as consequence. tho union pressmen
are all out and tho proprietors are trying
TO install non-unlon men. The trouble
grew out OF the adoption and the en-
forcement OF rule by the local union
prohibiting a pressman from doing any
other kind of work while employed to
run a press, except press work. The
proprietors undertook TO cut the rate a
wages when the pressmen declined TO
do other than press work and the press
men. declining to work at tho reduced
scale. were discharged. This action was
taken in all the press offices except the
morning paper. the proprietors having
agreed upon concert OF action.
The Typographical union has endorsed
the pressmen and the chances are that tho
union printers will go on sympathetic
strike provided a settlement is Dot
reached soon.

1t is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition.
\ depression IN commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella-
ton OF pleasure travel, while healthy con-
dItlon of affairs means business trips and an
increase OF passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that a business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the

With a view to taking the best possible care
Of its patrons, the New York Central has
arranged to increase the equipment of this

sleeper on the trains leaving New York and

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished
The Prompt Way Symptoms Show That
Blood $ Order.
The EMINENT SPECIALISTS FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.

For great many years it has been
the custom for sick people to say: MY
blood is out of order 1t needs purify
lag. I feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right?
They generally go and get a laxative
(bowel eleaner) TO purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities of the blood-thatist their work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bOwel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness Il EeaUes Hcrs.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
TO afford aid TO your kidneys by using
DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root
Is the most perfect healer and gentle
