Advice to Women
A Massage from a Famous

Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their compilations and to
remoye blackheads, crows feet and
other blemishes, through use of
cosmetics. This treatment fails be-
cause the trouble lies far deeper than
the skin. They are suffering from i'm
pure and impoverished blood. This
condition Is in many cases due to a
catarrhal condition of the whole sys-
tenn which finds its expression in sal
low, muddy complexion. dark-circled
eyes, general weakness of the system,
and perhaps most plainly in the weep

monty called catarrh

Local contractors who have been

A9rousht up today over an order is
sued by the mayor through the me-
dunn Of the board Of public works
10 the effect that all contractors on
city work will have to get rid at
once Of the foreigners and aliens
who have been employed on their
work, and hire in their stead resi-
DENTS Of the city, giving preference
to taxpayers and men with fam
lilies.
Hundreds of Italians, Greeks and
other foreigners have been employ
ed by local city contractors during
the past few months in direct vio-
lation of a provision of the city
charter which demands that on all
city work actual taxpayers and
men with families be employed
whenever it is possible to secure
such men.
/ During the summer months,
when there was plenty of work in
all lines in the city, no objection
was made to the practice of con-
tractors of hiring laborers other
than citizens and taxpayers, but
now that the winter "let down" has
come in all trades, there are many
citizens out of employment, while
italians and Greeks are filling the
places which, under the charter, be-
longs to actual citizens.
The city requires all contractors
ON city work to pay their men So
per day for eight hours, and these
wages will prove very acceptable
to the many local residents who are
out OF work at the present time.
: This morning one entire crew OF
men who have been employed on
city work called Upon the board OF
works to protest against the or.
der calling for dismissal of foreign.
ers. and it was found upon investi.
cation that not one man of the en-
tire gang was a honda fide citizen
