DUST
 makes dish-washing easy
q
The use of a little Gold Dust

The use of a little Gold Dust in your dish-water will make your dishes winter, sweeter and cleaner than they ever can be without it. Unlike soap, Gold Dust does more than clean the surface. It goes deep after germs and hidden food parti- cles, and sterilizes everything it touches.
 Gold Dust does all the hard part of the work without your assistance, because it begins to dissolve and clean the mo- ment 1t touches the water.
 When you have to wash dishes 1895 times a year, the Gold Dust method of saving half your time and half your labor means something.

No Difficulty Over Wage Schedule.

No Difficulty Over Wage Schedule,
 Wednesday evening and Thursday morning there was considerable talk upon the street that there was diff culty pending over the wage schedule for the silk Weavers employed in the Windham Silk company's plant. Some of the Weavers as well as officials of the company were seen Thursday in regard to the matter Both agreed that there was no actual difficulty at the present time.
 s It was learned from a weaver that Viewers local No. Is, two weeks ago, at a meeting, voted to petition the company for an increase in wages of ten per cent. to become effective on Wednesday, May 1. The usual state ment was embodied in the request that other silk companies were raising the wages of employees and in instances were paying more on certain brands and styles than is being paid here.
 Frank LaTTabee president of the Windham Silk company. stated that Manager Charles Fenton had received notification from the local that an increase in wages was expected May 1. He said he did not remember what the increase was. He also said that he did not look for any difficulty with the employees over the question of a wage schedule.
 Some six weeks ago a minor griev- ance between the company and silk weavers' local over the price paid per yard for a certain grade of goods was adjusted satisfactorily to all concerned.

DIFFICULTIES IN THE
 BRITISH ADMIRALTY

London, December 11.-Reports have been received of difficulties between the civil lords and the sea lords of the British admiralty and these led to- day to a close catechism in the house of commons by Lord Charles Reres- ford of Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty.
 MT, Churchill confessed that Vice Admiral Sir Francis Bridgeman, whose retirement from the position of frst sea lord and the succession of Prince Louis of Battenberg, were announced on December 6. was called upon by Mir Churchill himself to resign. MT. Churchill also admitted that he gave i'll health as an explanation Of vice Admiral Bridgeman's withdrawal with out having authority to do so.

 Mir Churchill said no difference Of view as to policy had led to any dis agreement.
 Differences are said to have arisen on the subject of increasing the pay of officers and men of the navy, the sea lords demanding more generous treat ment for them.
 While Vice Admiral Bridgemans s health is not too robust. the fact that he was riding to the hounds in York shire yesterday tends to confirm the general impression that the state of his health does not explain satisfac- torily his withdrawal from the admir- alty

Though definite arrangements for the trip had not been made early this forenoon it is probable that the bat tleship aDelaware will act as a convoy and accompany the Arkansas to and from Panama.

Greenleaf of Dora and Earl Edgill of Carbon Hill. Four of the aldermen named these two men against the opposition of the mayor and the other aldermen.
 Going outside of the bounds of Jas per to get a police force has been the bone of contention all the while. There are many citizens who were bitterly opposed to leaving the town for that purpose, but at meeting some time ago the board of aldermen repealed a section of the city code requiring the

 All these governments are proceeding along parallel courses, although there is no external evidence of concerted action up 10 this time
 The view that the Sherman law may be extended to cover a foreign domestic monopoly as in the case of the oil in Germany and tobacco In France. Austria and Italy is based upon consideration Of such features of the monopolies as take place within the United States. II has been pointed cut that much of tho foreign monopoly tobacco is bought in the United States as would be much of the German oil These operations it is held in turn effect prices In the United States. Some hold that a foreign monopoly buying it's raw materials In this country could be- come a powerful factor in restraint of trade.
