PROSPERITY BOOM
REACHES ST. LOUIS

the result of a concerted plan of all
the manufacturing and commercial
concerns in the city to make this "em-
ployment day." The project had II
origin with the National Prosperity
association, the "let us alone" body,
and has been generally taken up by
the business interests of the city.
Among the big concerns which cele-
brated prosperity day. were the Fer
guson-McKinney Dry Goods Company
which put back 1000 employees tempo
rarily dropped from the pay rolls dur
ing the financial depression. and the
Ely C Walker Dry Goods Company,
which today started every machine in
its factories and gave employment to
1000 men and women.
Many other concerns employed
smaller numbers of workmen and the
movement has been taken up by the
railroads and other corporations.
There is feeling of confidence that
employment day" marks the full re-
turn of prosperity to st. Louis, and it
Is likely that the plan followed here
will be taken up in many other cities
throughout the country.

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma

No Need Of Suffering from Rheuma-
tism.
1t is mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment. The relief
from pain which 1t affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
o. long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
It affords. Do not be discouraged
