There seems to be no immediate
prospect of an early settlement of the
difficulties between the miners and
the Coal Valley Mining company, at
the Sherrard mines. The miners,
though advised by State President Ry-

Cause of strike.
The strike is over the old cross bar
question. which caused the shut down
at he Shcrrard mines last winter. It
will be remembered that at that time
the question was never settled, the men
returning 70 work. and agreeing to ar
btrate. When the time TO arbitrate
the matter came. there was no adjust

and were paid on the old scale.
Went out saturday.
The men have been out since last
Saturday. President Ryan is making
an earnest endeavor TO have the matter
settled.
The mining company has now taken
a positive stand against the men on the
cross bar question.

Every day medical science becomes
more sitnple-and more certain. Simplicity
and certainty go hand In hand. For SCI
ence has learned that while there are
many diseases, yet there are but few real
causes Of disease. That H.. there are
many names by which we know aches
and pains and disorders, but most Of these
ailments spring from: a common cause.
For instance, Indigestion, sour stomach.
heartburn, dyspepsia and Ill stomach
troubles diabetes, Bright's disease and
other kidney disorders-h heart troubles,
ness, fretfulness, sleeplessness. irrttability
all Of these ailments are due to a single
cause. Painful, disagreeable and danger
Gus, though they be, they are not separate
diseases-and they are not to be treated as
such. They are merely outward signs OF
inward atrouble-nerve trouble.
Understand first that we have two en-
tirely separate nerve systems. When we
walk or talk, or act, we call into play q
certain set Of nerves-nerves which obey
our mental commands. That Is why the
arm can be raised. or the mouth opened,
or the eye shut, at the slightest desire.
That Is why your fingers can delicately
pick UP a pin ono moment, and hold a
heavy hammer the next.
But these are not the nerves we are to
consider here. ,--s,.....~. ..a.s.. ........
There is another set Of nerves which
manages and governs and actuates the
heart and the stomach, the kidneys and
the liver and all OF the vital functions. You
cannot control these nerves. BY no SUI
preme effort of mind can you make your
heart stop or start-nor can you ever
make it vary by single beat a minute
And so with the stomach and the liver
and the kidneys and the bowels-they are
automatic-they do their work at a certain
| set speed whether you are awake or asleeI
whether you want them to or not.
It is on these inside nerves that life and
| health depends. So long as these nerve:
perform their proper duties we are wei !
and strong. When they fall we know !
