Yes, August Flower has the

civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using any thing else for indi-
gestion or biliousness. Doctors
we're scarce and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous End organic action of
the system, and that is all they
took when feeling bad and dull
with headaches and other aches.

To The Public.

ameeting of the Master Build
ers' association, held at Florence,
December I, 1900, it was unani-
meusly decided to give this state
ment to the public:
Our association has been formed.
and will be maintained, not to ar.
bitrarily dictate bids, or control
prices. against the interestof build
ers; neither is it menace to or
ganized labor. We belive in, and
shall practice, the utmost fairness
toward those who employ us, and
those whom we employ.
1t is fact, however, that the
growth of the town has attracted
here many Irresponsible and in
competent persons who, in order
to be- classed as contractors, have
offered to take, and have taken,
contracts at less than the cost of
labor and materials, with the re-
suit that legitimate contractors
have been deprived of the work,
laborers have been unpaid, materi-
al men have been forced to file
liens and the owners of half fin
ished new structures have been
confronted by annoyances and the
expense of endless law suits.
We hold that such a condition
is not only pecunlary loss to all
concerned, but is damaging to le-
gitimate business and an absolute
injury to the city.
We shall admit to our associa-
ton only fair, responsible and com
petent men; men who will do as
they agree, do it in legitimate
way and without loss or annoyance
to laborers, employers, or others
with whom they do business, We
shall try to keep our association
up to this high standard.
This being true, we claim, and
ask, the faborable consideration of
the building public; and, believ-
ing that our views are right and
our claims are just, we believe it
to be to the interests of the entire
community that our cause be heard
and our hands upheld in our oppo-
sition 10 the acts of the reckless
and irresponsible class above re-
ferred to- Respectfully submitted.
