A force of deputy United States
marshals has already been sworn in

The nature of this latest federal

upheld, union labor will be helpless in
righting it's wrongs where a cause
may be discovered to invoke the in

Under such state of affairs. is it
unnatural that union labor. especially
where it seeks to be orderly and law
abiding, should appeal to the great
political parties to take such stand
which. if approved by the masses OF
the people, will result in the restric'
ton of the power and authority Of
the courts to Cypress men in strug'
Cling to establish their value as EN-.
ployes and their rights and liberties
as citizens.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine il the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous Prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. H.

The Sign Painters.

The question has been asked of sign
painters hundreds of times, (Which
letter Of the alphabet do you consider
the hardest or most difficult to maker
1t Is but natural to make the in
quiry, for to the novice some particu-
lar letters are more perpleXing than
others. 1t is most generally conceded
by some experts that the Roman capt
tai letter "R" is the most difficult.
Others will say that an IS" is very
hard to make, and many strongly CON
tend that the character 81 is the
hardest and most difficult of any in
the entire alphabet. Practically speak
ing, all of these letters are somewhat
difficult. and TO the young beginner
they are not easily mastered.
1t has frequently been supposed that
an artist of ability on account of his
great talent in drawing would Of
course naturally make Il good sign
painter. but the experiment has been
tried and given up with unsatisfactory
results.
An artist may draw and paint
most beautiful picture, but when it
comes to forming n perfect letter he is
entirely out of the race. About AZ
years ago there We're five well known
artists of this city who were also ex-

HOW OFTEN

We hear ladies say 80! l have ne
time to do my own sewing" We
wish to say to these ladies that by the
use of the Diamond Garment Cutter
System, they can cut and haste and
lit dress in the same time it takes to
hunt some one else to do the work
besides getting a much better and
easier fitting garment than can pos
sibly be made with any of the old
fashioned models or chart systems.
How many advantages to be de-
rived from a knowledge of this sys-
tenn and the satisfaction of knowing
that the dress question is settled for
ever.
BY the use of the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter any lady can fit any
kind or style of garment without any
trouble or worry.
No refitting, no rebasting, no trying
on half dozen times, but ninety
nine times in a hundred perfect
success.
No special talent is required for our
methods more than is required to
learn the multiplication table and
any one who can read and write can
learn the Diamond Garment Cutter.
We employ special instructors out
side of the class rooms, who will call
at your residence and fully explain to
you this system of garment cutting
and fitting. This is one of our meth
DDS of advertising and it does not
matter whether you wish to take the
class instruction or not the explana-
ton will interest any lady who de-
sires perfect fitting garments.

and advice, but also of all minor sur
