All druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone fails to give desired results, regardless of how old you are. how long you have suffered, or what else has failed to cure VOu

Measure Must Have Compulsory Feat
 ure, They Conclude.

Local Norwich socialist party held it's regular meeting in the Stead block Thursday evening. Routine business was transacted and an interesting dis cussion took place. on the various workmen's compensation bills that are before the legislature. It was the opin- ion of the meeting that a com pesation bill to be effective must be compul- sorry: that is, all employers must be compelled to compensate their workers if they are injured.
 The meeting agreed that a state in- surance fund must be established in order that the full benefits can go to the person injured. 1t was claimed that all industrial insurance compan- ies should be swept out of the state, as it is a disgrace to civilization that capitalists should make profits on the misfortunes of the working people. It was pointed out that at the present time only one-seventh of the money that is paid in by the employees reaches the persons who are injured

". C. 7. U. Set
Element SCHOOL

There is an interesting settle
ment school in the mountains of
Knott county, Ky, called the
Hindman Woman s Christian
Temperance Union Settlement
School. Miss Retta Gartrell,
born and raised about four miles
south of Mexico, and who moved
here where she lived several
years, is a teacher in said school.
Her Mexico friends will be inter
ested in her work.
One of the teachers in the same
school with Miss Gartrell, Miss
Ethel De Long, was in st. Louis a
few days ago, endeavoring to
raise funds to start another school
at Pine Ridge, KY, to work in
connection with the Hindman
Settlement school. At a reception
given in her honor Miss Long
told something of the work she
and Miss Gartrell are doing
among the mountain children.
She said that the school now
has an enrolment of 408 pupils,
most of them of the purest Anglo
Saxon blood. She says they learn
with sureness and repidity that
cannot be surpassed in any part of
this country.
The school has "a acres of
ground, on which all of the build
ings are located. These include
buildings for the 100 pupils who
live at the school, dairy, electric
light plant, ice house, stables,
barns and the main school build.
ings.
For maintenance the school re
ceives $500 year from the State
of Kentucky. The rest of its an
nual $4,000 maintenance func
is subscribed by people elsewhere
Means of access from one part
of that region to another are very
difficult, she said ,and there ought
to be such schools every 20 miles
That is one reason why we are
trying to start one at Pine Ridge
There is no town there, but the
district is thickly settled and is
badly in need of good school ac.
commodations.
In our school at Hindman we
prepare the pupils for college and
besides giving them the regular
courses of study such as Latin
mathematics, history, German and
the like, we believe in teaching
them to do things with theil
hands as well as with their brains
and so have courses in domestic
science and manual training. And
the domestic science is real do
mestic science, how to sweep
dust, sew, make bread and do al
kinds of plain cooking"
