BIG CUT IN new

tiyes Suffer q Loss in
Wages
G00DSSOLD TOOLOW
Fall River, New Bedford, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island and
Other Mills Affected

BOSTON, Mass. Nov. 2s. the 10
per cent. reduction in wages in the
cotton mills of the Southern New
England went into effect today. the
CHI affecting fully 1l5,000 operatives.
From returns received today practl.
cally all Of the mills of southern
and central Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and eastern Connecticut re-
ducel the schedule Of wages to that
in force prior to the general increase
made in 1902.
The reduction was long expected
BY the operatives and no serious
trouble is anticipated, though there
Is general dissatisfaction among the
workers, particularly in the Fall River
district. The reduction means loss
in. wages Of between $5,0O0,00O and
$6.0oO,OO0 annually among the cotton
mill operatives.
Cotton manufacturers give as a
cause for the 10 per cent reduction
in wages which became effective
today the fact that they are now AMI
have been for a long time making
goods for sale below cost. Nearly all
that has been gained has been due
TO fortunate speculations In cotton.
II is known that the New Bedford and
Rhode Island manufacturers, who fol-
lowed the lead Of Fall River in ad-
vancing wages, have been agitating
a change TO the old scale for some
time, but have been urging Fall River
men to initiate the movement.
The mills Of Fali River. New Bed
ford, Rhode Island and those at mum.
erous points In central and western
Massachusetts. together with the
mills In eastern Connecticut, made d
general advance In wages early in
1902. Their action was not met, how.
ever, BY the cotton mills Of northern
New England. and II is not considered
probable that the present attack on
the payroll in southern New England
will have any direct effect in the in.
dustry further north. Ii was extra
advance in wages that led to the great
strike in Lowell last Spring. The
Lowell operatives demanded the Fall
River schedule. bur the manufacturers
there declined to accede TO the re-
quest.
In Fall River about so mills, EN-.
ploying slightly over $4,000 men. and
owned by 40 corporations, are re.
presented In the agreement to reduce
wages. The mills at New Bedford EN-.
ploy about 10000 hands, those in
Rhode Island and eastern Connects.
cut about $4,000. and those elsewhere
which raised wages In 1902, employ
from 10000 to 10000. III -,

A lAYMAN
Gave Doctor a Hint About Coffee,


Speaking of coffee doctor of Deca-

aiyze coffee at the medical college and
in spite of our laboratory tests which
showed it to contain caffeine, an active
poison, l continued to use the drink,
and later on found myself affected
with serious stomach trouble, indi.
gestton, headaches ETC.
The headaches came on so regularly
and oppressed me so that l found it
riHlei:lt to attend to my regular duties.
One day last November l met friend
-whcm had known to be similarly af-
f'cted. His marked improvement in
appearance caused me to inquire what
he had been doing. He announced that
ne had, some time ago, quit coffee and
was using Postum Food Coffee To
this change he attributed the change
in his health.
took the hint, even from layman,
and made the same change myself.
The first week l noticed little differ
ence. but not much. The third wee,;
the change was almost magical. I
have continued with the Postum and
now my digestion is perfect, the nerv-
Gus headaches have entirely disap-
peared, and am we'll. My own an
alysis of the Postum Food Coffee shows
it to be pure food drink of strong

Aims not at elevation;
Come safe limb of an apple tree
Best suits his humble station

All undisturbcd by any woe
That mortal dreaming cumbers;
BY day. in orchard wandering,
He humhly seeks his living;
Unconscious of the joy he'll bring

And while the eagle. pinion borne,
Doth cleave the vaultcd azure.
He sobblcs up the golden corn
And gobbles forth his pleasure,
And. daily adding to his grth.
For man his chief attraction.
So fills. this bird of solid worth,
His role with satisfaction
Each in his sphere has rightful fame:
The eagle first in favor
AS emblem of the nations aim,
The turkey for his flavor.
But while the eagles chief rcnown
Lies in his life. a winner.
The turkeys still, when dead and brown,
Served for Thanksgiving dinner.

SURGEONS Sueures.

Modern surgery employs dozens Of
different kinds of thread for sewing
up cuts and wounds. Among them
are kangaroo tendons. horsehair. silk.
and very fine silver wire. The short,
tough tendons taken from the kanga-
roo. which are used for sewing severe
wounds. are particularly valuable and
have saved many lives; they hold for
about month before they break
away Silk thread will hold for much
longer. sometimes six months. while
the fine silver wire is practically in.
