The Use of Arm.
+ Heart Trouble.
Could Not Eat, Sleep
or Walk.
DR.. Miles Heart Cure
Cured Entirely.

IF it hadn't been for DR.. Miles Remedies
I would not be here to write this letter. Two
years ago last June lost the use of my left
arm, could not use it and could only move it
with the help of my right hand. My heart
was 50 weak could not sleep nights for
smothering spells. I was out of sorts all over
and could eat nothing. grew SO weak tina.
I could not walk without Staggering like a
drunken man and my home doctor said he
could do nothing for me. I was in so much,
pain l was almost wild. could not take
morphine nor opium as they made me worse.
So I got to thinking about DR.. Miles Heart
Cure and Nervine and the more I thought
about it the more wanted to try them. I
wrote to the DR.. Miles Medical Co. for adj
vice which I followed to the letter. / can
say today that I am glad ! did as am we'll
woman now; can work and can walk two or
three miles and not mind it. I can also use
my arm again as well as ever. You do not
know how thankful am for those grand
medicines Dr.. Miles New Heart Cure
and Nervine. think DR.. Miles Remedies
are the best in the world, and if I should get
sick again I should take the same course.
The remedies also helped my daughter Vida
so wonderfully that should have written
you before to thank you, but wanted to be
sure that the cure was permanent, which
now know to be the case."-Mrs. Frank

In Labor's Field.
FELT
Laboring Men Generally Are Pleased
at the Settlement Of the
Strike.
Peace in Building Circles Is As
sured for a Long Time
to Come.

Satisfaction is expressed on all sides in
labor circles at the outcome of the strike
Of the building laborers. which was called
Thursday, Aug. s, and was declared off
Tuesday, Sept s.
The settlement of this difficulty prac-
tically insures peace in Minneapolis in
the building trades for a long time to
come.
Commenting upon the outcome, The
Union, In part, says editorially to-day:
| The principle of arbitration has won another
| substantial victory by the consent of the con-
| tractors to submit the differences between them
selves and the building laborers to board of ar
bitra ton, the findings of which shall be binding
upon both parties. s* Common sense and
common prudence on both sides prevailed and the
spirit of fairness which has generally prevailed
in the dealings of the majority of the Minneapo
| lis contractors with their men has been again
shown. We think the laborers were clearly with
| in their rights In asking for what they did, and
that the board of arbitration will grant them
all they asked for, and that the contractors will
be glad to have the matter settled on that ba-

union at Niagara Falls and Buffalo, where
he is meeting with some success. Five
new locals have been added to the list

time to lettering the conditions of the
milling crafts in that city. From Roches-
ter, Erie, Pa, Cleveland, Akron and To-

which cities Mr.. Finley will turn his at
tention to the work of organization. The
principal milling centers Of Indiana and
Michigan will be touched and the return
home made by easy stages. There are
now seventy one locals affiliated with the
international.
Tuesday morning the employees of the
mills at Faribault went on the eight-hour
shift. Two crews formerly ran the mills,
| working twelve hours day. Under the
new arrangement, three crews, each work :
ing eight hours day, will be employed.
