with Citizens Alliance leaders, and 1t IS
announced that he is preparing a form
which will be presented 10 every mer-

employers of labor in the entire District
pledeing them not to employ any person

No person who works for living will
be exempt, and the absolute annihila-

its enforcement will affect 5000 men

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the

taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely bones are spliced pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
TO heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and when applied tosuch injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t a'so
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and
it will save you time ana money, not to
