An indulgent mother was travelling

nurse. ana Il copy Of Il magazine which
absorbed the mothers attention. The
son with his attendant occupied the
seat behind her. The nurse attempted

Local Strike

A strike of the bumpers on the
the Buckeye lease In the employ OF
the South Penn OH company &C.
Cured last Friday morning, about
IS men leaving their places.
There was no trouble between the
men and the company regarding
wages or hours, and both sides
were apparently satisfied In this re
spect; but the bone of contention
was the union to which the men
belonged. 1t is stated by the men
that they received orders from the
company that they must relinquish
either the union or their jobs, and
they chose to sacrifice the latter.
Before the men struck, two or
three Of their members had been
removed by the company. for the
reason, the men state, that they
were Uulon men, and this brought
about Suspension of work.
A number of men, we learn, have
been brought here from other
places to fill the vacancies. Some
returned as soon as they learned of
the situation, while others went to
work.
There has been no excitement
over the trouble, and the men have
conducted the strike In peaceable
manner. The best of feeling has
heretofore existed between the men
and their superiors, and 1t Is to be
hoped some amicable agreement
may be arrived at and pleasant re-
lations resumed. Salem Leader.

II Saved My Hand.

Two years ago last August l cut
my finger with a broken jug. II
was very hot weather and l was
working In the bark woods. My
arm clear to my body swelled badly
and blood poison set In. l never
suffered so In my life. For twelve
days and nights I did not sleep.
My friends said there was no hope
for me unless my arm was taken off.
I used San Cura Ointment as thick
as dollar three times a day. 1t
stopped the pain and drew out
water, blood and dark pus, reducing
all swelling. The skin came of
my hand and arm, but thanks to
San Cura, l have sound hand and
arm, to the great surprise of all my
friends. You do not claim enough
for San Cura Ointment.
