Men do not like to go to doctors Nine
times out of ten they wait until they are
laid fat on their backs before they will
consult physician. There is some reason
in this, for when business man feels out
of sorts and goes to physician, he Is often
given violent drugs that make him, for a
time, unfit for business and really sick.
There is way of avoiding both extremes
that of neglecting the health and that of
taking violent drugs that rack the entire
system--it is always to keep on hand a
bottle of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. If man will resort to this great
medicine whenever he feels that he is out
of sorts and threatened with illness he
may keep in good health. II Is the great
appetite sharpener, blood maker and flesh
builder. II fills the arteries with the rich,
red, building blood of health. It
does not make flabby fat like cod liver oil,
but the solid, muscular and nerve tissues

pie more corpulent.

Pierce's medicines, writes Mrs. Nelson Smith
of Mount Vernon, Jefferson Co., his. About

cines so strongly that we Immediately sent out

Ten Per Cent Advance and Rcduc-
tion In Powder.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. 1.-The coal
operators Of the Wyoming, Lackawan'
na and Lehigh regions held an impor'
tant meeting in this city yesterday af'
ternoon and decided to offer the miners
an increase of 10 per cent in wages,
and also TO reduce the cost OF powder
to the miners from so rs to 81 10 per
keg The whole situation was Their
Oughly discussed nearly all those pres
ent taking part therein. The powder
question was the chief subject Of de.
bate, and next came the recognition OF
the union. SO far as can be learned,
none OF he operators were in favor OF
recognizing the union in any way.
The meeting lasted from p. ~ until
g o'clock. Last evening w. A. Latbrop,
the chairman OF the meeting, gave out
the following from the Lehigh Valley
Coal Co:
This company makes the following
" ltS ~
will adjust the rates OF wages so as to
pay 10 its mine employees on and after
Oct. net increase OF 10 per cent Oh
the wages heretofore received; and will
take mp with its mine employees any
grievances which they have"
1t is understood from the foregoing
that powder will be sold to miners for
81 80 per keg. and that the difference
between this rate and the old rate OF
81 70 shall be taken into account IN
figuring the net advance OF labor.
Similar notices to the above will be
posted by all the other companies rep
resented at the meeting The strikers
say that under no circumstances viii
they accept the offer. They claim 1t is
not as good an offer as the Reading
company made to its men The union
is ignored and the net increase must
come out OF the price Of powder.
