ITALIANS LEAD OUT

A recent statement made up by a
statistician in charge of industrial in
vestigations shows that only 81 per
cent of the employees on a given num-
Der of railways are native born Ameri-
cans. On the other hand, 80 per cent
were immigrants, and "a per cent were
native born persons, whose fathers had
been born in England, Ireland, Scot
land, Wales or Germany.
These statistics were for railway car
and machine shops and engine houses
only, the track department employees
not being taken into consideration. or
the foreigners, the Italians constituted
the largest racial element, having al
most entirely displaced the Irish, who
in former years were the most extern
sivelv employed on the roads, there be-
ing but 3 per cent at the time of max
ing up the statement.
Altogether, II southern and western
European races were represented in the
statement. More than tWo-fifths of the
foreign-born laborers had been in the
country less than five years, and only
about one-fifth had a residence of more
the English, Irish, Scotch and Ger
20 years or longer, and were considered
men of dependable character both as
labOrers and as citizens. The state
ment of the employees of the main
tenance of way department showed that
"a per cent were of foreign birth, the
principal races being Crotians, and
north and south Italians, and GA per
cent of this number had been in the
United States less than five years.

Not Salts, Oil or
Pills But 'Cascarets'
No Odds How Sick Your Stomach;
How Hard Your Head Aches or How
Bilious-Cascarets Make You
Feel Great.

Cascarets acts as a bowel tonic. noe
as an irritant. They are vegetable.
Their action is natural Their effect
is the same as the effect of some
foods They are gentle; no gripping
They are pleasant; no dreading. They
ara convenient; no waiting.
One old way was castor oil. The eff
feet was to grease the bowels, and fSs
a single day. Oil never causes the
bowel muscles to act. Other ways
were pills, salts and catharticE. The
effect was the same as pepper in the
nostrils- They flooded the bowels
with fluid. Those fluids were digest
live juices And the waste today
means q lack tomorrow.
We knew that the method was
wrong. That the after effects only
weakened the bowels. But we had no
gentle laxative in the old days So
we waited IS long as we could. then
took a big dose of physic. The meth
cd today is to take one Cascaret at
time-just as soon as you need it
Then the bowels are always Clean
They cost only 10 cents per box at any
drug store.

DISORDERED
DIGESTION
If Neglected May Develop Into a
Severe Form Of Stomach
Trouble.
The Best Safeguard Is to Keep the Stomach
Toned Up and the Treatment Should
Be Begun When the First
Symptom Is Noted.

Palpitation of the heart does not
imply that the vital organ is diseased.
Pain in the back does not necessarily
mean kidney disease.
Headache does not often indicate that
there is anything wrong with your head.
All of these symptoms are caused by
stomach trouble and when this is righted
the alarming symptoms disappear. If
you have them look to the condition of
your stomach for The cause before you
start to treat the symptoms rather than
the disease.
Mrs. George f. Shields, of No. 1130
Pierre street, Manhattan, Kans, says:
DIR. Williams Pink Pills effected
remarkable cure for me nine years ago.
For four or five years previous to that
time had suffered at intervals of from
six weeks to two months from what the
doctors called acute indigestion. My
physician put me on diet but in spite
of all precautions those spells came on
Just the same and my suffering was
most intense. / could not eat anything
at all without distressing pains 1t
seemed as if there was a knot in my
stomach and it was being twisted
around. My stomach was so sore that
even the pressure of my clothes kept
me in constant misery and at times it
was hard for me to breathe.
Then I was persuaded to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills and when I had
taken only about half box l saw that
they were helping me. continued to
take them until had used three boxes
and in the meantime ventured to eat
things which I had never dared to eat
before and suffered no i'll effects.
CDR Williams Pink Pills cured me
and 7 have never had q smell of indigeS-
ton during the nine years which have
elapsed. I have gained in weight from
scarcely one hundred pounds to one
hundred and thirty-eight and feel per-
fectly well. Words cannot express the
gratitude and confidence have in DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
DR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box;
