SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle of chanberIain's
 cough Remedy.

When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
 ". Perry. editor of the Enterprise. Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking teaspoon ful of this remedy, and when the cough ing spell would come on at night I would take dose and it seemed that i'll the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep per- fectly free from cough and Its accom- panying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agreeable surprise Is putting it very mildly. I, had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because l had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mir. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by all druggists. ys4 .-::..'zv TX ;s*y;s

tary Protection.

Amsterdam, April 6.-A meeting of the workmen's committee has proclaimed a general strike throughout Holland of all labor engaged in transportation, both by and and by water, The meeting lasted until o'clock this morning. /? All the railroad lines. stations and Wharves are guarded by troops. The administration of the railroads has talk en steps to secure the running of the foreign expresses under military protec- ton. Only one train left Amsterdam this morning and it was protected by troops. Arrangements are making to transport the mails by motor cars. All business here is. at a standstill on the wharves, and the mailboats which ar rived to-day could not be unloaded.
 The Netherlands Railroad company during the day posted notice urging its employees to resume work, and add ing that if they did not resume within twenty-four. hours all the workmen would be discharged. The company suc- ceeded in getting off few trains, but has decided not to attempt to run after nightfall.
 A workman was wounded by revol- yer shot fired by soldier this morning. The man was walking on the railroad, was not aware that the strike had been proclaimed, and failed to reply to the soldiers challenge. IT,
 The president of the workmen's con- .mittee of defence in an interview said that the strike proclamation involved the entire railroad system and other land transport of Holland and the water transport of the important ports Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dordrecht and Zaandam. The strike, he added, was in tended as a protest against the anti strike laws, as well as to support the demand of the railroad men for an in- crease of wages before the passage of the laws made an improvement in their position impossible. The president said the strike would spread to other branches of labor.
 The staffs of the shipping companies trading with London and Hull have stopped work in sympathy with the strikers.
 Nine hundred out of 1,400 employees in the workshops of the railroad here struck work in obedience to their lead- ers' order.
 The diamond cutters have decided to strike in sympathy with the railroad men.
