Journeymen Stone Cutters Union to claim
the privilege Of carving the cornerstone
TO buildings Of prominence, which have
included in the past the ULitsd States
Capitol, the Washington Monument, and
other imposing structures
a year ago, when Barry Bulkloy, on
behalf OF the Business Mems Association.
went TO Chicago and succeeded in having
Washington named as the encampment
city for the gathering Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic in October, work was be
gun on the stone. During the encamp-
ment the stone was dedicated with ap-
pTOprilte ceremonies. at which Gen. Ell
Torrance, commander chief OF the
Grand Army OF the Republic. and other
prominent men. took part
Since that time the stone has remained
at the corner designated. but II is the
desire OF those interested in il to have il
placed in the Lafayette Park. where il
will be under the eye of one OF Colonel
Bingham's watchmen.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
symptoms of a Very Common Trouble +?

There is no disease so common in the
United States as catarrh, because it ap-
pears In so many forms and attacks so
many different organs.
Il is a common mistake 10 suppose
that catarTh is confined to the nose and
throat. Any Inflammation OF the mucous
membrane, wherever located. accom-
panied by abnormal secretion is catarrh.
Catarrh Of stomach OF bladder or in
testines is nearly as common as nasal
catarrh and much more serious, although
Il is true that stomach estarrh and
catarrh OF other internal organs is the
result OF neglected nasal csJsrrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems TO be re-
markably effective in promptly curing
catarrh. wherever located. Tho prcpsra-
tlon Is sold by druggists generally under
name Of Stunrt's Catarrh Tablets and In
addition TO being very paistablc and con
Yenient possesses eXtTs sordinary merit,
in many cases giving Immediate relief
from ;he coughing hawking and con-
slant clearing of the throat and head
those symptoms with which everyone is
familiar who has ever suffered from
colds in the head and throat
Catarrh is simply a continuation o.
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year 10 year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
OF Blood root. red gum and similar anti
septics and catarrh specifics. from
which IL viii be seen that no secret is
made Of the ingredients and also that no
mineral poisons are used, as is the case
with many well known catarrh medl-
Clneg-
For catsrrh Of the nose. throat. bron-
chial tubes. for catarrh Of stomach. in
testines or bladder no preparation is so
safe and gives such rapid and permanent
results as Stuart's CataTrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them AZ soc for full
sized package. You can use them. with
assurance that you will not contract the
cocaine Or morphine habit. as the results
from this cstarrh cure are apparent from
the FIRST days use.

THE FOOT-AND-NOUTH
DISEASE UNDER CONTROL
Sectretary Wilson Believes
Contaglon Well in Hand.

Within the next ten days. said Sec
rotary Wilson. OF the Department Of
Agriculture today. "I believe every ami
NAL in the New England States under
quarantine. which contracted or has been
exposed 60 the foot-and mouth disease
will have been killed. We have the sit
uation we'll in hand. and 1 feel conf
dent We can prevent its spread. This
has been accomplished only by prompt
work of the department. and the efforts
put forth by the men employed in Il.
The hardest work Is not the killing.
but the disinfecting and disposition OF
the bodies OF the animals slain. Why
think OF il. the thermometer IN soma
places in the New England states, where
our men are working is fifteen degrees
below zero. and the snow is so deep that
burial is absolutely impossible. and ere
nation has had to be resorted to. The in
spectors and assistants have had their
fingers and toes frost bitten, and have
been overcome by the cold. They have
stuck manfully by their duty. however.
and it is largely due to their unfatigu
ing efforts that the spread of the disease
has been prevented.
should We be able to kill OF all the
exposed and infected animals in ten
days. as I fully believe VIC will do, it will
be some little time before the quarantine
can be lifted, and VIC can feel sure that
there viii be no danger to other herds
through interstate commerce"

OF Animal Industry. returned 10 Boston

The Proprietors' Side.

At a recent conference the proprietors
proposed twelve-hour work day. with
two hours on for meals. which they said
would be the same as a ten-hour work
day. They also declared that they would
pay the clerks for any extra time they
work. The clerks did not accept this
plan. as they believed the employers
would reduce $50 mans wages to $40
per month, and then II he worked on the
three nights which were supposed to be
his nights OF. he would receive the
other $50 as extra money.
The proprietors are also in fsvo- OF
closing early. Il is said there is little
II any need Of keeping drug stores open
All night now. because most OF the ply
sicians who are called In the night or
early morning carry their own rene
dies with them. and the proprietors
claim that the amount Of money taken
in At night will not pay the gas bill or

Monthly Meeting.
THE CONGRESS BILL PENDING
PrOprietOrs Are Willing to Give What
They Consider a Ten
Hour Day

The regular semi-monthly meeting OF
the Drug Clerks Protective Association
VAS held at the Fat Mems Club last
night. A lot OF routine business was at
tended TO. and the committee OF the as
ISOLATION which conferred with one OF
the drug store proprietors in regard to
shorter hours made its report 10 Presi-
dent Kerfoot. who presided. This was
not made public last night.
For several weeks the conferees rep
resenting the two sides have been in
conference. Members OF the association,
who are all duly registered in this city.
have demanded a ten-hour day Instead OF
the twelve hours now in vogue. and also
that druggists employ only registered
clerks.
Bill in Congress.
4 bill looking 10 this end is now pend
ing in Congress. 1t was introduced in
the House Of Representatives, but be
cause OF the strenuous opposition made
by the Association OF Druggists Il was
laid aside Now the clerks have renewed
their efforts and believe they see their
way clear 10 accomplish what they wish.
For years the clerks have been pro-
testing against working 80 long, and also
against the employment of unregistered
clerks. In some instances it is said there
are unregistered proprietOrs. with one
registered clerk in the store to hll pre-
scriptiops. The clerks say that the prac-
tice Of leaving drug stores in charge Of
unregistered clerks, which happens every
day. is a dangerous one and liable TO
result n a fatality at any time. Detec-
tive Proctor, who looks after the drug
stores of Washington. has had more than
twenty cases OF unregistered proprietors

standard. and illegal registration.
II is said that the board Of phaTma-
cists. which Is composed entirely Of the
proprietors Of drug stores, fails to sus-
tain the detective when an arrest is
made. The clerks ask that two members
of the board be selected from their as
socistion in order 70 insure fair treat
