NEXT MEETINS ON WEDNESDAY

Although the Representatives of
the Workers Organization and Rep
resentatives of the manufacturers
could not get together last week on
the wage scale when they held their
meeting at Cleveland. They are to
try again next Wednesday and there
is every probability of a quick ad-
justment.

Thornburg manager Of Wichita
Falls Texas glass plant were too
sanguine. Instead of the sixteen
workmen he expected TO leave Cha
mute only five or six have gone, as
yet. Whether the remainder go or
not is doubtful, decidedly so, be-
cause with the satisfactory adjust
ment of the wage scale accom- .
Diished, the season here will
commence soon probably the first
of October. The fires have already
been lighted for some time

name, was in the circus parade Mrs
Bracken was watching the parade.

she recognized her husband who had
deserted her. She followed the band
wagon until she found an officer and
then "Bill" was brought down from

the amusement of the spectators and
the show people.

declared he had never seen her before
but that made no difference and he
was taken to police headquarters
where he was turned over to the
board of public welfare.
Mrs Bracken's husband was sent
to the municipal farm at Leeds two
months ago on the charge of not sup
porting his wife and he escaped.

WOME N SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS

Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence Of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo
rary relief, but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. B.. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name Of
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
tive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful Of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for a
brief period. will SO strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, II any,
further need for medicine.
DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin can be
procured in any drug store Your
