1rislmphs Of modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs
are taken out and scraped and poll
ished and put back, or they may be
removed entirely; bones are spliced ;
pipes take the place Of diseased sec
tons of veins; antiseptic dressings
are apple dto wounds, bruises. burns
and Ike injuries before infamma-
lion sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on this same principle
1t is an antiseptic and when applied
to such injuries. causes them to heal
very quickly. 1T also allays the pain
and soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain
Balm in your home and it will save
you time and money, not to mention
the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale

mighty good over the action taken by

A Benefit PERFORMANCE
An Opportunity for Central Labor Un-
ion to Better Its Finances

Last week the Fulton Stock COM
pany, headed by Miss Enid Jackson
and Jess B. Fulton, and embracing a
company of unusually competent peo-
pie, presented labor play, Lost
Paradise" The play is one that thrills
a union man through and through, for
it is full of the union spirit and teaches
a lesson that unionism has been seek
ing to impart for many years. The
great strike scene, the never-ending
questions between capital and labor,
the sufferings of the toilers, the
thoughtless selfishness of the rich, the
JOY at the ending of the strike-all
these are pictures that appeal direct
ly to the heart. The company pre-
sents this powerful drama in a way
that leaves nothing to be desired.
M. Jesse Fulton was approached by
The Wageworker editor early last
week and the suggestion advanced
that it would be good idea to pre-
sent 'Lost Paradise" later in the sea-
son as a benefit for the Central Labor
Union. Mr.. Fulton imediately fell in
with the suggestion, and agreed to do
SO at any time set by the central body.
If the delegates to that body and the
unionists of the city will take hold,
it will be possible add nice amount
to the treasury and Incidentally call
the attention of the public to what
unionism is trying to 60 to better the
social, moral and material status of
those who toll. 1t will do any man or
woman good to see this magnificent
play.
The Fulton Stock company is pre-
senting a series of dramas at the Oil
yer, and each performance is far above
the average of repertoire attractions.
The company is exceptionally strong
and is deserving of the most liberal
patronage. The bill for the remainder
of this week is "Lynwood,' touching
military drama. The opening bill next
week will be "Thelma." the week con-
cluding with Young Mrs. Winthrop"

consideration, and it is hoped that
every union will be represented by full

Some of the unions are woefully
careless in having delegates. The
Pressmen have not been represented
for many months. Neither have the
Plumbers. In fact, less than half a
dozen unions are represented with any
thing like regularity. This is not as
it should be. Instead of from ten to
fiften delegates present as a rule.

of a hundred Let there be full at
