No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 80 years it has been

Inflammation, liberation, local weak

May Take Over Wster Plant
Whether or not the city Of Daven-
port should own and maintain the
city water plant and whether 1t would
work a great benefit to the city adj
ministration by reason of the profits
returned therefrom, is the moment
Gus question with which the city
council is at present wrestling. Dis
cussion OF the proposition was pre-
cipitated yesterday before a commit
tee of the whole meeting when the
fact that the franchise of the COM
pany expires in 1914 was brought
before the body and when the COM
pany's petition for a renewal for
period of 20 years was preached.
The city granted the company a
franchise on June 8, 1889, for a per-
iod of 20 years and this is soon to
expire.
The franchise on which the water
company is now under operation pro-
vides among other things that the
city has the right to take over the
plant at the end of the % years if it
so desires, providing, of course, that
sufficient notice is given of this pro-
posed assumption of ownership. Ac-
cording to the terms of the franchise,
the city has but about six months
yet in which to give this notice.

WORKERS
SUFFERING

Chicago, Dec. S.-With Indications
that the garment workers strike will
continue all winter, the situation OF
the strikers and their families is
daily becoming more desperate. Five
thousand families are reported as
near actual starvation. Unionists as
sert that 5000 of the 10000 strik-
ers are receiving their only food from
the commissary stores establishes by
labor organizations.
The Women's Trade Union League
today issued an appeal for funds. A
movement has been inauguratej TO
assess every union man in Chicago 20
cents a week in addition to the
amounts contributed by every union
organization.
The only hope of avertlng direct
suffering among the strikers seems
to lie in the possibility that the offer
of peace by Hart, Schaffner & Marx
will include the "closed shop" If 1t
does not, 1t is predicted that the
strikers will reject the offer.
