Bed wetting shows T.. -ncy weak

broken.
Stop the beginnings of weak kidneys

Corporal punishment should never be
resorted 10 as a means of curing blad-
der ard kidney weakness in children.
This trouble, which often dates from
earlist infancy and is shown by bed

flesh and high colored urine, should be
intelligently cured by STRENGTHENING
the urinary organs with u safe, effec-
tive remedy that never weakens. DR..

They are purely vegetable and abso-

demand of the textile operatives of Lo-
well for an increase of 10 per cent in

granted, there is but little doubt re-
naming that a strike order will be de-
clared and so into effect, Monday.
Meetings were held, tonight. by four
unions affiliated with the Textile Coun-
Gil and the action was identical on the
question of what is to be done. The
report from all was as follows:
I'VE have voted to force the issue
and have instructed our delegates to
the council to do everything in their
power to do the same in the council
meeting, Thursday night
Unofticially it is understood that the
the organized textile operatives have
decided to make decisive stand which
will be apparent to all when the time
comes to open the mill gates, Mon
day morning.
The State Board of Arbitration ar
rived in this city. this morning, in re-
sponsc to the appeal from Mayor Howe,
and after conferences at City hall, Tex
tile Council hall, and at the residence
of Agent SouthWorth, secretary of the
Lowell Manufacturers Association, the
members retired. Neither the repre-
sentatives of the operatives or Agent
Southworth met the board in official
