AUTO SPEED IN NEW YORK.

A proposed change of existing ordi-
nances regarding the driving of automo-
biles on the streets of New York may
furnish valuable contribution to the
discussion which was started in Barre
by the action of the city council in pro-
posing to limit the speed to ten miles
an hour. In New York the proposition
is advanced that the maximum speed
limit of automobiles be Is or 20 miles
an hour and that at crossings and in
turning corners the speed be reduced
to or 10 miles an hour. 1t is also
proposed that automobiles be required
to stop behind trolley car which is
receiving or dischargng passengers. Like
requirements are to be made in Chicago
regarding the stopping of automobiles
behind street cars. Some regulations
like that would fit Barre's case very
well, with perhaps an amended regula-
ton regarding the stopping of automo-
bles behind street cars, to the effect that
speed must be reduced TO the same rate
as that required at crossings and in turn
ing corners; and also making the maxi
mum speed 10 miles an hour on any
street of the city. 1t is admitted that
the chief points of danger from automo-
biles is where street cars are receiving
or discharging passengers and at street
corners.

After July /, the Boston & Maine
railroad will retire the common drinking
cup. What is the Boston & Maine going
to substitute for it? 1t doesn't intend
to make the patrons suffer from thirst,
does it? The adjustment of the com
mon drinking cup is move in the right
direction, but it should not be followed
b. an utter absence of facilities for the
comfort and well-being OF the patrons
of the road. At comparatively small
cost. the railroads could furnish cheap
paper cups, to be thrown away when
once used.

STRIKERS SIDE OF CASE.
Given by General Organizer Relative to
Burlington's Labor Strike.

| Burlington, May 3.-General Organic
er j. f. Potts has issued the following
statement concerning the strike of yard
hands, teamsters and others in the lum-
Der yards here:
The strike committee of the earpen-
ters' district council of Burlington de-
sire to inform the public of some of the
vital facts pertaining to the controversy,
believing that our cause is just and
deserving of the sympathy of the pub
| lie.
In the mills affected by the strike
the hours Of labor are arranged in the
following manner; During the summer
months, the men work SIS hours per week
and quit at noon Saturday The en-
ployes lose the five hours wages dur
ing the fall months when they 60 back
to ten hours.
In the winter the men work ON an
average of l-2 per hours per day. The
wages range from $4 to $40 per week,
that is when they work go hours they
receive that sum.
The average wage of these men does
not amount to SO per week. taken the
entire year, with the exception of the
foremen, who of course get more.
We believe that by reducing the hours
of labor from 10 to 0 hours that the
employee is in a better position to work
more faithfully than by working long
er daily; that he has a better chance
TO improve his own ability and by do
ing SO he is able to give better work
to his employer.
We would like to ask the public of
Burlington if it is crime for work.
ingman to try to better his condition
when every other profession is doing
likewise? The clergy throughout the
entire country and professors OF eco
Monies agree that when a man works
a shorter day his life is prolonged from
10 to Is years. They are also advo-
eating that man with family who
does not receive SIS per week as a mini
mum wage cannot bring up his family
in this goth century and with the high
cost of living as an American citizen
should.
1t is fact that boys of l6 Years who
are on strike have been employed on
unprotected or unguarded machinery in
the Burlington shops.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
Torrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
II consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. I did as
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

Question. How does thing increase
the porosity of the soil? Ans.-Tiling
does not increase the porosity OF soil.
1t merely removes some of the water
from between the soil grains SO that
air may enter for soil ventilation. This
increases the efficiency of the pore
space.
II may be said that filing will, in The
course of years, change the shape of
the pore spaces in the soil. At first
the little channels in the soil through
which the water moves toward the tile
are irregular. With use, year after
year, the sharp edges of this channel
seem to wear OF and the channel be-
comes more nearly straight. 1t is due
to this that tile become more efficient

Question. How does thing cause

clay soil or hard pan has better filth

REGULATING
THE STOMACH
That Important Organ Works
According to the Quality Of
the Blood That Is Fur
n;shed fo IF.

There Is the most intimate relation
between the condition OF the blood and
the activity of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for large
mart of it's nourishment; while every
act of digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until it is digested
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty of pure, well-oxidized blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality of the blood.
The most common cause of indlgea~
lion is anemia, or lack OF blood. In
deed there is not single disturbance OF
the health of the body nor any form of
exhaustion or lowered vitality, that
may not lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
Weakens the muscles of the stomach
and lessons the product of the glands
which furnish the digestive fluids.
Nothing will more promptly cure ir1-
digestion than plenty of pure, wel-ox-
idized blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
