Give them Oll-COd-llVer OIL.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anamic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the

Caused Riotous Disorder at Banquet
 in Chicago Last Night
 Chicago, April Rivalry between Independent telephone companies rep resented at the convention of the Inter- state Independent Telephone associa- ton caused riotous disorder at a ban auet at the Sherman house last night. Policemen were called to preserve or der and even their efforts failed for an hour to quiet the banqueters.
 During this time fist fights were en- gagged in and men who attempted to speak were compelled to take their seats after having been made targets for pieces of bread and other edibles. The banqueters climbed over tables and chairs and hauled each other around by the arms.
 One of the personal encounters was furnished by J. Irving Pearce, jr, son of the proprietor of the Sherman house. He had headed a band of hotel em- ployes who attempted 10 restore quiet. While trying to take cue of the men from the banquet room he was jostled by others. He attacked one of them and was surrounded by others. He was finally rescued by a policeman.

DEATH CAME QUICK
Seventeen Year Old George Root
 Caught in Shafting.
RIGHT ARM TORN FROM SOCKET

The Young Man Was Adjusting Belt
 at the Berbecker & Rowland Factory
 Caught by the Pulley and Belt, He
 Was Whirled Rapidly Around the
 Shafting and Finally Dashed to tue
 Floor-He Died Two Minutes After.
 A frightful accident which caused the almost instant death of young WorK- man in the employ of Berbecker ~ Rowland Manufacturing company lo- cated on Main street, Waterville, oc~ cured at quarter before ten o'clock this morning. in the buffing room or that establishment. The victim was George Root seventeen years of age, living with his parents on farm Tn Waterville. Fifteen workmen are ems ployed at the various lathes in the bun room and young Root was one of the most popular and jovia1 fellows among them. At the hour mentioned above he was attempting to replace belt on pulley when his right arm was caught and before he could extricate himself he was drawn around the rapidly revolving shafting. His fellow workmen heard his cries for aid, but before they could reach him or stop the power his right arm had been torn off and his left arm was mangled and broken. He was whirled around the shafting several times before his body dropped to the floor bruised and crushed. Tn the meantime the power had been shut down and the right arm was still found hanging to the shafting. Medical aid was at once summoned and Dr J. $. Holroyd responded. but young Root died two minutes after he had fallen from the shafting. The dead youth had been employed there about two years and his sudden and horrible death so affected his fellow workmen that it was thought best to shut down the buff room for the rest of the week.
 Medical Examiner AXtelle said this afternoon that the coroner would not be asked to come here on the case. It was an accident and that was all that could be made of it.
