ROAD WORKERS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Sussex Sheriff Prevents
Pitched Battle With Axes
at FrankfOrd

FRANKFORT, Del. Dec. "a
strike, in which a pitched battle with
axes and shovels was only stopped by
the timely arrival of the Sheriff and
his men. took place here, when near
ly 100 workmen employed on the du-
Pont state road by a contracting firm
demanded shorter hours and higher
wages.
Axes had been secured and blood
would have been spilled had not a
fast automobile rushed the Sheriff
and his men to the scene Of the
trouble. The matter was finally set
tied by Deputy Sheriff Hudson. who
threatened to take the ringleaders of
the strikers back to the county Jail
with him unless they drew off of
the right of way and allowed those
to work who wished to.
The trouble started in the morning.
when about han of the men laid
down their shovels and axes and de-
manded $1.75 a dav, instead of S1.50,
and eight hours work instead of 10.
The company agreed to nine hours
a day on Saturdays, with pay for that
length of time.

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook.
it will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea.
It may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope so for the sake of the
cook! The disease dyspepsia indi-
Gates a bad stomach, that is a weak
stomach, rather than a bad cook. and
for a weak stomach there is nothing
else equal to Hoods Saraparilla. II

CUT THIS OUT.
Recipe That Breaks a Cold In a
Day and Cures ANY Cura-
able Cough.

From your druggist get half ounce
of Concentrated Pine compound and
two ounces of Glycerine. Take these
two INGREDIENTS home and put them
into a half pint of good whiskey;
shake we'll and use in doses of one to
two teaspoonfuls after each meal and
at bed time" Smaller doses to chill
dren according to age. But be sure
to get only the genuine (Globe) Con-
centrated Pine. Each half ounce bot
tie comes in a sealed tin screw-top
case. If your druggist does not have
1t he will quickly get it. Many mix
lures are of large quantity and cheap
err but it is risky to experiment. This
formula comes from a reliable doctor
and is certain. This was first publish
ed here six years ago and local drug
gists say II has been in constant de-
mand ever since.
