For the past week more people have
called on the representative of the
Kickapoo Indian Medicine Company
at G. r. Fogg's Drug Store than he
could take care of. Hundreds have
come to inquire about the Kickapoo
Remedies and to get trial bottle OF
Sagwa, the Kickapoo Indian Medicine
made from roots, herbs, barks. berries,
leaves, gums Natures remedies for
diseases of the stomach and liver. De-
rangements of these organs cause
most of the diseases with which peo-
pie suffer, such as biliousness, indiges-
ton, sick headache, rheumatism, ir-
regular action of the heart, jaundice,
malaria loss of appetite, and that half
sick we'll feeling. We believe that
chronic ill-health is caused principal
ly by stomach and liver disorders.
We believe that very few people can
be sick if their digestion is in good or
der. We know that Sagwa will put
the stomach and liver in good condi-
tion in four to six weeks. That is why
it sells SO wonderfully all over the
world.

COMMITTEES MEET MASTER ME-.
cHANlc TO NEGOTIATE NEW
WAGE SCALE
ALL BRANCHES SEEKING
AN INCREASE IN PAY
Amicable Settlement is Expected, Al
tho Committees May Find 1t Neees-
sary to Take Wage Scale Up With
General officers-Master Mechanic
Gossett to First Attempt Settlement.

All of the committees representing
the various unions of organized labor
employed by the Iowa Central here,
excepting the machinists. have filed
with the company new schedules which
contain scales of wages asked for the
coming year. 1t was expected this
morning that the machinists commit
tee would submit lis schedule either
today or Saturday. These schedules
have been presented 10 Master Me-
chanic c. f. Gossett. Who has held con-
ferences with the various committees
in an effort to agree upon a basis of
settlement.
May Take Some Time.
While all of the submitted schedules
ask for an increase of wages in all de-
partments, both the employees and Of
fcials believe that settlements will be
effected amicably -Altho the exact
amount Of the increases sought by the
various unions is not obtainable in some
cases they are slight and in others they
amount TO several cents per hour
Changes in shop and working condi-
tons are also asked for in most of
the schedules.
AS there are number of the COM
mittees TO settle with it IS not expected
that all Of the schedules will be signed
by union representa- tives and company
officials for some time
Master Mechanic Gossett will first go
over the schedules with the commit
tees. and If he is able to complete a
settlement the schedules will be signed
up at once. If not the schedules will be
passed along to the general officers,
who will take them up with the men.
Pending the reaching of an agreement
on the proposed schedules the scale Of
wages now in effect continues until
the new scale is agreed upon.
