Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from pm
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part Of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 15.-The whole
morning session of the convention of the

devoted to the annual report of General

the assertion of President Samuel Gompers.
of the American Federation of Labor, that
the National Building Trades Council or any
of its affiliated councils hold aloof from
the central body. chartered by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and are antago-
nistic to the purposes of the American
Federation of Labor. Mr.. Steinblss as
serted to the contrary that from It's very
incipiency the National Building trades
Council has extended the brotherly hand
OF fellowship to all labor organizations,
striving to solidify the labor movement by
exchanging fraternal delegates with CEN
trail bodies of the American Federation
of Labo and working jointly and in har-
mony for the betterment of labor and hu-
nianfty. He that the generai
secretary-treasurer be instructed 10 open
correspondence with the executive COM
mittee of the American Federation of
Labor with a view to fraternai utilization.
Among other things the report of Gem
eral Secretary-Treasurer Steinblss recon-
mended that the general executive board
thoroughly investigate the conditions of the
lockout of the building trades council in
Chicago and endeavor to bring about a sat
isfactory adjustment for the welfare or all
concerned. Otner Recommendations dlc.

ing trades councils, whose trades or voca-
tons are nationally or internationally az
filiated with the National Building Trades
Council, to affiliate themselves with said
respective national or international body.
and that all local unions who are not rep
resented by a national or international body
be compelled to affiliate direct with the Ma
tional Building Trades Council; that the
general executive board be In sole charge
of strikes or lockouts of local building
trades councils who apply for financial aid;
that a regular strike fund be kept on hand
by the local building trades ouncil to be
used for no other purpose. so as to be for
warded to the general office at once when

retary-treasurer institute correspondence
with the National Building Contractors
Council with a view to devising some plan
to be placed before the affiliated organiza-
lions for consideration and adoption where
by compulsory action between them and

by under penalty of suspension or expul-
sion, can be practically enforced. When
the report was finished it was referred to
