hesitation in lending their influence TO
assist in letting the public know Of the
merits of Peruna.
Nearly one-half the people are in some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore it
is almost a national curse, and Il is Of
national import that the people should
know Of Peruna.
Catarrh is an American disease.
Peruna is an American remedy.
Catarrh is a result of changeable
climate. Peruna is a result of long and
careful experimentation.
Catarrb enters the system through the
nerve centers and affects the mucous
membranes. Peruna enables the nerve
centers TO repel and expel the catarrh
from the system.
Catarrh Is a systemic disease and
curable only by systemic treatment.
The remedy that cures catarrh musi
aim directly at the depressed nerve
centers. This is what Peruna does.

Ti-city Labor Congress Insists
Upon Servants Living
Up to Rules.
WOMEN WILL NOT AFFILIATE
May Take Such Action at Later Date
Electrical Workers Make Some
Progress.

At the meeting of the Tri-City Labor
congress last evening, President II. l..
Darby declared the office of treasurer va
cant under the constitutional provision,
which states that when an officer is alb
sent from three successive meetings
his office shall be declared vacant. c.
e. Streeter was unanimously elected
treasurer to succeed f. c. Berry.
Mr.. Berry. who is the editor of the
Tri-City Unionist, has served as treas
urer for two terms but business af
fairs prevented his regular attendance
at the meetings of the labor congress-
and he was intending to resign the Of
fee on this account. When the matter
was brought up at the meeting last
evening, President Darby. referring to
the regulations, declared the Office va
cant. This is the second time since
the last annual meeting that officers
have been deposed by the labor con
gress. and others elected in their
places.
HerEes Makes Report.
Business Agent F. w. Herges in his
report To- the congress called attention
to the settlement of the Sears Fritz
zelle difficulties and stated that while
the Davenport shop is not a closed
shop under the new contract the
agreement is favorable TO union leath-
orworkers, and that the agreement is
satisfactory one under the conditions.
Mr. Herges reported that when he
informed the Women's Union Label
league of the action of the congress in
inviting the league to affiliate without
being subjected to the per capita tax
he ladies had rejected the offer. on
the ground that they are not affiliated
with the Davenport central body, and
their action in affiliating here might
be misconstrued and create a senti-
ment among the Davenport unions
against the league We must look to
the label league for the furtherance of
the union movement" said Mr.. Herges,
and he pointed out that the movement
is suffering on account of the apathy
among the men. 1t was reported that
Tom Burtchall of Moline has signed
up with the electrical workers. making
TWO union contractors shops in Moline,
one in Rock Island and two in Daven-
port.
The report of the new trustees. elect
ed to fill the vacancies recently de-
clared by President Darby, was re
ceived and placed on file. The report
covered the audit of the books of the
organization by the trustees.
