1t is estimated that the Federation
of Master Cotton Spinners of England
have now over 10000 weavers out, be-
cause of their trouble with the Union.
These weavers are employed in the
mills in the north and northeast of the
county of Lancashire. About an equal
number of spinners have been re-
duced to part time. The Federation
of Master Cotton Spinners are also
production. They began on
the first of January to stop work three
days in each week. II the trouble
should be prolonged the employers
threaten to stop all work completely,
and this would be loss of employment
to over half a million people.

ASK THE GOVERNOR TO
FORCE A RETRACTlON

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 4.-Members
of the Russian colony near Los An.
geles have forwarded a petition to
Governor Johnson asking him to take
steps to compel the newspapers of Los
Angeles to retract the story printed
several days ago to the effect that the
Russians were selling their daughters
to the highest bidders like sheep.
The petitioners declare they are not
engaged in the ancient Russian GUS
tom of selling their daughters into
marriage, and that the statements to
the contrary are untrue, insulting and
dishonest.
The story grew out of court pro-
ceeding in which a young woman de-
clared her parents were seeking to sell
her into marriage with man whom
she had never seen.

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
ConpIaintS,


You cannot be over careful in the
selection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emerg-
ency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good They may cause grip
ing, nausea and other distressing af-
ter effects that are frequently health
destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee ReXall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy, which
we know, for constipation and asso-
ciate bowel disorders We have such
absolute faith in the virtues of this
remedy that we sell it on our guaran-
tee of money back in every instance
where it fails to give entire satisfac-
ton, and we urge all in need of such
medicine to try it at our risk.
ReXall OrderlieS are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently acting as
a regulative tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat of the bowel, thus over
coming Weakness and aiding to restore
the bowels to more vigorous and
healthy activity.
ReXall Orderlies commonly COM
pletely relieve constipation, except of
course when of surgical character
They also tend to overcome the neces-
sity of constantly taking laxatives to
keep the bowels in normal condition

PLANS FLIGHT OVER OCEAN
ON FAVORABLE LINES

| NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Dr. Paul F.
Cans, after spending the holidays with
| friends in Chicago, sailed today for
Europe on the Kronprinzessen Cecilie,
and will shortly complete his prepara-
tions for the proposed flight across the
Atlantic in a dirigible balloon. After
short stay with his family in Mu-
mich, DR.. Cans will go to Berlin, where
! his big airship, the Succhard, has been
completed.
DR.. Cans will pack and ship his aer-
ial voyager to the island of Teneriffe,
from which point he expects to be-
gin his trip over the ocean in about
two months hence, early in March.
While in this country, DR.. Cans sub
mitted his plans to Willis l.. Moore,
chief weather sharp of the United
States weather bureau, who declares
that the doctor is the first man to
work the problem out along scientific
lines. Chief Moore thinks DR.. Cans
has been wise in choosing the course
of the northeast trade winds. He be-
lieves it is feasible to begin the flight
from Teneriffe in the Canary islands
to the West Indies as projected.
Former projects for travelling great
distances in the air have been fool
hardy in the extreme said Mr..
Moore 81 believe that a navigator
who proposes to cross the Atlantic in
the middle latitudes in a machine
lighter than air should be restrained,
just as we would, if possible, prevent
person jumping from the Washing
| ton monument, because there is no
possibility of his effecting a safe land
| ing. Were you to attempt to fly from
North America to Europe in the mid
die or northern part of the Atlantic,
you would, even under the most fa-
vorable conditions, have fair winds
! only for small part of the way
across, the ship being ultimately
drawn into the center of some cyclon-
ic whirl, where you must either en-
counter winds from the east or else
try the impossible feat of ascending
to an elevation of six or seven miles,
where the temperature is at least so
degrees below zero. At that altitude,
which it would be impossible to at
tain, there would be found a steady
wind toward Europe
Or Cans has avoided the mistake
of the others, and has attempted to
carry out this project in the only por-
ton of the world where it is posi-
BILE of accomplishment. | do not say
it will be easy. 1t will be extremely
difficult, but with favoring conditions
it is at least within the realm of pos
sibility.'
Mr.. Moore also endorses the appa-
ratus to be used by DR.. Cans.

The Thunderer was taking on

its fall was broken by striking a

harmlessly. AS the magazine
