Munyon's Paw.paw Positively Cures

Surely this mother has reason to feel
grateful, and It Is my opinion. previously
expressed, that the clergymen In this
country could do no greater service to

for by Its use drunkenness would be

tensive silk mills and Geneva is known
all over the world for her jewelry and
watches. There are now large colonies
OF these industrial workers In gil the
larger Swiss towns, These workmen are
nearly all trade unionists and take readily

comes from the mountain torrents prom
ises to make great change In Swiss in
tlustry and life. It Is only recently that
the potential wealth Of these swiftly
flowing streams is being recognized by
the Swiss What will be the ultimate
result no one can tell, For my part
look on these growing schemes as
fraught with great danger to these lib

THE NEW LEWIS CALENDAR

Copy Of Painting by Montgomery, the
American Artist.
One of the most artistic and by far the
costliest calendar ever seen in Minneapolis
made it's appea rance to-day at the Min
neapolis Chamber of Commerce. The call
endar is issued by Charles E. Lewis &
Co. This firm has long been noted for
the excellence of it's yearly issue, and
many thousands Of calendars are given
out annually. The old well-known form
was that of a series of six or twelve
panels, containing heads Of noted women,
held together by ribbons.
This year departure has been made,
and the famous corn painting of Montgom-
cry taken as a model. This painter is
popularity known as the American farmer
artist and it was he who painted the
picture called Down on the Farm which
was on exhibition at the Paris exposition
and was sold for $4,000. 1t is now in
possession of one of the Chicago Armours.
The corn picture, a later production, is
very simple subject, representing mere
ly a half dozen ears of cured and partly
husked corn, Of the yellow, white and fed
varieties, thrown together carelessly. The
painting represents the ears at about
| natural size.
| In. the reproduction for the Lewis cal
endar the effects embodied in the Mont
gomery painting have been in good part
retained by the process of embossing
! lief to preserve the naturalness and some
| Of the loose kernels look as tho they
might be picked up.

To-night's meeting Of the joint COM
mittee representing the building Ia
borers and the contractors will be a
critical point in the negotiations. The
time limit set for arbitration is Jan.
1. This time is approaching rapidly.
and after many meetings, only five Of
the ten men from whom the three
arbitrators are to be chosen by lot
have been selected. It is evident from
the tone of the contractors that the
arbitration will have to be conducted
with what men have already been
chosen or may be selected tonight, OR
the negotiations will be off entirely.
No time extension will be asked or
accepted Both sides seem to have
shown a spirit Of Cancellation, but the
slow progress indicates that much has
yet to be conceded by one side or the
other before the three arbitrators will
be selected.
