REDUCTION IN WAGES
will Be Considered mt Conference
This Afternoon

It is learned from an authoritative
source that the employees OF the LaBelle
mill received two or three weeks ago
from the company proposition ask
ing them to accept a reduction in
wages which would put them on the
same basis that is paid in other plants
in Wheeling. The employees have met
several times to consider the matter
and it is said that there will be a con-
ference this afternoon between the COM
pany and the mems committee with a
view of effecting an amicable settle
ment. An official of the plant stated
that the LaBelle has been paying more
wages than any other plant and that
when they started up last July it was
understood that the men would accept
whatever might be settled upon by the
other mills.

selves by classifying advice under the
head of "Do" or vDon't" DIR. Pierce's

a plain guide to health written i'll plain
English and dealing with the great prob
lens of physiology and hygiene from
the view point of common sense. This
great work containing 1908 large pages
is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay

His Teeth Knocked Out.

VIII Newman, an employe of the
Wheeling Corrugating Works, was the
victim of painful accident yesterday
morning. While he was at work in
one Of the departments of the plant, a
piece of the machinery struck him in
the face, cutting his mouth and knock
ing out some of his teeth. His wounds
bled profusely. DR.. D. H. Taylor, who
was summoned, rendered the necessary
medical aid.

aired BY the use Of Dr.. Plerce's FavoriIs

cured by the use Of DR.. Plerces Favorits
Prescription
It is worth noting that these cures
are lasting. Many medicines offered for
woinen's use are mere palliatives They
numb the nerves and SO dull the pain.
But they do not re-establisf the lost
womanly health. uFavorite Prescrip-
ton is a purely vegetable preparation.
1t contains no alcohol, neither opium,
cocaine or any other narcotic 1t cannot
disagree with the weakest constitution.
1t establishes regularity, dries the drains
which weaken women, heals infiamma-
ton and liberation and cures female
weakness.
IT IS woMAN'S WAY
to sacrifice herself for her family. She
goes without the new dress that husband
or child may have som coveted pleasure.
And for economy's sake she often bears
the ills which are undermining her
health. 1t is a false economy. The
health of the wife and mother is the
most important factor in the home life,
and every suffering woman who has been
cured by vFavorite Prescription is a
witness to the real economy of this
means of cure.
MY health is the best now that it has
been for four years." writes Mrs. Phebe
Morris, of Ira, Cayuga Co., NY, Box 81.
III have taken bu. two bottles of your

DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription and
Golden Medical Discovery the most

promises only happiness ends IN disap-
pointrnent and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the dainties
her husband enjoys. She is SO robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way it begins. At
ter while she finds that it takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
Household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into chair many
time and gives way to tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky so
cloudless on the morning of marriage
has soon become overcast.
THE CRITICAL TIME
in many a woman's life comes just at
this period of Encouragement and de-
spair. She finds indications of disease
of the delicate wornanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensation, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis
placement. She consults physicians,
takes prescribed treatments, all to no
avail. And yet this woman's case is
durable on the evidence of women who
have been cured.
oFour years ago my health began to
fail" writes Mrs. Nellie N. Reycraft,
of Glenwood, Washington Co., Oregon.
vI had heavy dragging and weight in
the region of the uterus, pain in back
and 1oins, could not lift anything heavy,
rest at night very poor; stomach de-
ranged. One physician said was over
worked, another said l had conges-
ton and falling of uterus. He treated
me nine months and said would not be
we'll until 1 had passed the change of
life. l was only twenty-seven years old
then. 1 became discouraged, and began
using DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription.
Took a teaspoonful three times day;
began feeling better right away. Am
using my third bottle now, and feel I am
in good health. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescri ption has restored me to health.
II suffering women would give it a fair
trial they would give it praise"
1t can truthfully be said. that there is
hardly form of wornanly disease med
ically durable which will not yield to the
faithful use of vFavorite Prescription. +"
More than this, it is matter of record
that many forms of womanly disease pro-
nounced incurable by local physicians
have been perfectly and permanently

AGAIN REFUSES TO PAY:
WARSHIP TO MOROCCO.

Washington, Nov. l2.-The govern
ment of Morocco has again declined to
meet the demands of the United States
for payment of indemnity on account
of the killing of Marcus Esagin,
naturalized American. The latest
declinatiOn of Morocco is accompanied
bv the intimation of its freedom from
liability under the terms of the con-
vention between Morocco and Spain.
The state department has come to the
conclusion that Consul Gunmere's rep
resentations will be more effective if
he is supported morally by the pres
ence in Moroccan waters of United
States warship, and it is probable he
will make a visit to Fez to again pre-
sent the case as passenger on a
vessel to be selected by the navy
department for that purpose.
