weary WOMEN
Throughout the Land Many Are
Shaving Over the Needle
and Wearing Them
selves Out.
From the Maine Farmer. augusta.

There are many women all over the
land who are earning living by the
Use OF the needle. Confinement in
lose rooms and the trying nature OF
heir work often causes them to grow
pale and wan and to experience n feel
ing OF constant weariness. This goes
on, sometimes, until nature rebels and
health breaks down. There is one
way and only one way to restore the
impaired vitality, and that is to
strengthen the worn out nerves and
build up and nourish the impoverish-
ed blood. If the blood is kept healthy
md rich and the nerves strong, new
life and energy will soon be felt.
This was the experience OF Mrs. Addie
r. Holt, dressmaker, of No. 10
Bridge street, Augusta, Me. She
says:
about five years ago / began to
experience a worn out feeling. Some
times ! would lie in bed for day or
so, but my dressmaking work obliged
me to keep up, even when ] did not
feel able to be about. ] suffered from
ttHlult tlohbitD uiiu ihsb SpliHS hiu
rheumatism in my left arm and also a
pain in my left side in the region Of
my heart.
"In August friend recommended
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie and began taking them imme-
diately. ] commenced to improve in
lbout two weeks and in three months
my weight increased from l2l to 1873
pounds. Since taking the pills l
have had no return Of the pain in my
arm nor near my heart.

STRIKERS ARE RESTING.
Action of Mill Owners Is Being
Awaited-Settlement of Strike
at Wilkes-Barre.

All is quiet at the silk mill strikers
headquarters nowadays. and all action
is in suspense until an answer has been
received from the mill owners regard
ing the question OF arbitration. The
executive committee met yesterday
morning. but realizing that nothing
can be done until the operators have
expressed their sentiments. but little
business of importance was transacted.
1t is expected that Valentine Bliss
and Superintendent Davis. of the Sau-
quot mill. will be home within a few
days from the South, and immediate
action will then be taken, at a meet
ing of the owners and superintendents,
to either settle the strike by entrust-
ing 1t to board of arbitration or by
using any other practicable means.
The local strikers feel considerably
encouraged by the successful issue of
the Wilkes-Barrc strike at the Bam-
ford silk mill. where the girls will re-
sumo work next Monday. They have
been out eight weeks The settlement
of the difficulties was effected at a
meeting between committee from the
Wilkes Barre Central Labor union and
superintendent Armstrong. Some of
the girls receive an advance in wages
of So Il month, some 81 and others 81,
a. general increase of about fifteen per
cent being made.
The weavers of the mill do not share
in the advance at present, and the
reason given for this by the owners is
that only experienced help can receive
the comparatively high wages usually
paid in this department, but when the
Luzcrne girls have been working longer
at it they will be granted an increase.
The strike will be declared off tonight.
About two hundred and twenty-five
girls are employed at the factory.
