SITUATION AT FALL RIVER.
Looks Very Much Like Big Strike
Will Begin Monday.

Fall River, Mass, March 1.-THE in
dustrial situation remains unchanged
to-day. Both the manufacturers and
the textile unions adhere to their pre-
vious decisions, and it now looks as if
a fight between capital and labor will
ensue. The general public is hoping
that compromise will be effected that
will prevent the battle scheduled to
be commenced next Monday morning.
To-day the managers of Sycamore
Mill No. l opened their gates and were
prepared to resume operations. This
plant has been closed for nine weeks
on account of difference between the
management and the weavers as to the
number of yards a cut of cloth should
contain. The management was conf
dent of enough help, but only about
thirty appeared. This is a very small
percentage of the total number.

CARPENTERS ARE OUT OFF WORK.
Row at valdosta with Contractors
shuts Them Out.

Valdosta, Ga, March 14.-There has
been some trouble here between the
carpenters and contractors and, as a
result, number of the carpenters are
out of work. 1t is understood that two
leading contractors who had jobs on
hand for completion in specified time
wanted to bring in new men for the
work, or else increase the hour to ten
day. The carpenters kicked on both
propositions, and a shutdown follow
ed until new men could be gotten to
fill their places. 1t is said that a car
load of carpenters will reach Valdosta
tonight or tomorrow, there being a
large amount of work to be commenc-
ed here soon.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA,
White Bread Makes Trouble with
Some People.

Some People.
Loading up with white bread and
starchy cereals is quite sure to ulti-
mately bring on some disorder of the
bowels, and is frequently the cause of
appendicitis.
The starches are not digested in the
upper stomach but are treated in the
duodenum and from there on down
through the whole length of the bowels.
Consequently. if too much starchy food
is used particularly white bread
trouble is likely to set up. White bread
does not contain the diastatic princi-
pies which nature placed in the wheat
berry to help digest starch, but the
white flour miller leave that part out.
Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food was per-
fected purposely to supply the starch
of the cereals and the other parts
intended by Nature for use, and pre-
sents them to the body in a form that
will easily be digested. In fact they
are predigested by a natural means
during the process of manufacture, so
that one can get all the energy and
value from that sort of food without
overlooking the organs.
A man from Brantford, ONT says:
For the first twenty years of my life
/ lived out of doors, then 1 took up my
present employment, which is indoors,
and requires the exercise of the brain
rather than the body.
Gradually a languid feeling took pos
session of me, which developed into
dyspepsia and later into constipation.
These conditions continued for several
years in spite of pills and laxatives
without number. After a time l began
to suffer from great lack of vitality
and from time to time with cramps in
the bowels which usually laid me up
for three or four days. Finally the
physician discovered that was on the
point of appendicitis. After one of
these severe attacks, about six months
ago a neighbor brought in part of a
package of Grape-Nuts to try. and 1
noticed good results from the first,
and have continued to use the food in
place of white bread and cereals for
merly used.
/ have gained considerably in weight,
feel much better than l have in years,
my complexion has cleared up, diges-
ton is good, and 1 have not had
cramp since starting; but more impor-
tant than all else, / notice a distinct
clearness of mind sustained by an en-
ergy and nerve force that / have not
known before.
1 have learned an exceedingly valua-
Bile lesson in living, and will not, here
after, load myself down with food re-
curing too much bulk to supply a. sufFi-
cient amount of nourishment as / used
To- This lesson in moderation in diet
and knowing how to select proper food
is worth everything to me-" Name

pass the guard lines around the power
house of the Norfolk Railway and
Light Company at 9 o'clock tonight
Suot. Gum and one of his electricians
came near FORGETTING their lives.
AS the two men approached the lines
they were halted by a sentry, but paid
no attention to the soldier. He called
again for them to come to a halt, and
when they refused to do so, he fired a
shot from his Springfield rifle over
their heads.
The shot brought both men to a halt
and they surrendered to the sentry,
who called a corporal and sent Gum
to police headquarters. where he ex-
planned his position and was released.
The trolley wire on CRANKY street,
one of the principal thoroughfares, was
cut at $3.50 o'clock, and all cars were
tied up for over three hours, while
squads of electricians, in wagons, were
out trying to locate the trouble. The
track was creased in several places to-
night and cars stopped. The cutting
of the wires caused the cars to be sent
in earlier.
