WANT LAW AMENDED
Winona Travelling Men Endorse Pro-
posed Change to Bankruptcy Law.

WINONA, MINN.--Winona travelling men have
gone on record as indorsing the amendment to
the national bankruptcy law, which travelling
men all over the country are urging senators
and representatives in congress to enact. This
amendment Is to make travelling statesmen pre-
ferred creditors under bankruptcy proceedings.
The national bankruptcy law as 1t now stands.
offers no special protection to those employed
as travelling or city statesmen, they being pro-
tected only ordinary creditors. With
view to their recognition as preferred creditors,
an amendment has been prepared for the, con-
sideration of the present congress by e. L..
Taylor, congressman from the twelfth district
Of Ohio, as follows: 49,.
Wages due to workmen, clerks, travelling or
city statesmen, or servants, which have been
earned within three months before the date
Of commencement of proceedings, not to ex.
ceeed $500 to each claimant" e..
At the recent meeting of the United Com.
mercial Travellers in this city this matter was
brought up and the amendment received the
unanimous Endorsement Of the council. In &C.
cordance with Instructions from tho council.
Secretary George H. Kramer has since written
to Senators Nelson and Clapp and Congressman
Tawney advising them of the action taken
and asking for their support Of the bill. - .r.r
A fire drill has been established at the WI
mona normal school. Several exits are used,
and the lines of march have been so arranged

even should it ever be required in case OF
an actual fire during their student days. Il

NOBODY is EXEMPT
"A New Preparation Which Everyone
will Need Sooner or Later.

Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the common
est thing they do for it is to take some
one of the many so-called blood puri-
fers, which in many cases are merely
strong cathartics Such things are not
reeded. If the organs are in cloggel
condition they need only little help
artics irritate the sensitive Innings Of
the stomach and bowels and often do
more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in con-
dition to be readily digested and as
simulated. Stuart IS Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly, They partly digest
just the help it needs. They stimulate
the secretion and excretion of the di-
gestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and membranes.
They put the whole digestive system
in condition to do its work. When that
is done you need take no more tablets,
unless you eat what does not agree
with you. Then take one or two tao-
lets-give them needed help and you
will have no trouble.

WANTS CONGRESS TO ACT
Labor Commissioner Williams Urges
National Child Labor Law.

W. II. Williams, state labor commits
sioner, read a paper last evening before
the Hamline Six O'clock club on
"Child Labor He discussed child
labor in general, and the efforts made
by his department. to enforce the law
in Minnesota. -.- (.
Congress should pass national
child labor law he said, (which
would create uniform regulations
against child labor in all states. This
would leave no room for lodging the
law in different states.
"Twenty states,' he continued,
"prohibit employment Of children at
night. Most of the other states have
laws restricting the number Of hours
from fortyeight to sixty as week g
work. "
Mr.. Williams said it is estimated
there are 100000 children employed
thruout the United States. He believes
the Minnesota law against child labor
is very satisfactory, and explained in
detail how the state is working hand
in hand with school authorities to get
the children away from the dark fac
tories and into the schools.
