CURES RHEUMATISM
Quickly Eases Stiff, Sore, swoller
Joints and MuscIes-Drives
Rheumatic Pains
Away.

II is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out OF shape with it's
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
easily avoid it.
rheumatism comes from weak, In
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood. the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub ON liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the paie. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you
The only way to cure rheumatism
is TO remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because
it neutralizes and disgoIpes the poison
GUS substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, &c
scratch and irritate and cause rheu
/ matism, and cleans out and gtreng
thens the stopped-up, inactive kidneys
SO they can filter the poison from the
blood and drive IT on and out OF thu
system.

medicine ever made for curing chron

bladder disorders. You will find j

The Stone & Webster employee who
indiscretely remarked that the ten
hour day was just beginning in the
hydro-electric field started some
thing" for F. j. Sullivan, treasurer OF
the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. last night told a
labor meeting at the Woodman hall
that country wide movement had
been started by the unions to cause
congress to stipulate in every fran
ohise granted a clause calling for the
eight hour day. Recently said Mr.
Sullivan, "the government decided
that eight hours was enough for man
to labor in one day on public work
and it is only right that it be observ-
ed where the government grants fran
chises for the work.
Years ago" he said, "the organiza-
tfcn | represent, decided that the
question of wages and livelihood was
of world wide interest It came in
accord with the demands of the time.
II is folly for any class of people to
argue that as long as there is to be q
division Of products TO say that the
master class must have the most.
The trade union movement is alone
capable OF doing the bulk Of this
work and they can do 1t In harmony
with public spirited citizens on the

Child Labor Work.
No force in the world has done more
to prevent children being taken from
the schools and put In enslavement
in the factories. Every born child
should have the education that is
proper to secure his education, the
one thing that has made the United
States the peerless country it is today.
We find In the labor union move
ment," he continued, "the only asso-
citation through which the rights of
the laboring people can be protected
We have reached a point in history
when there is no value placed on
human life. When men were kept in
slavery 1t was worth while to preserve
life, at least. That is the object of
many OF the political plays of the day.
You must organize every man who
labors by his hand or his head" said
the speaker. "A man can no longer
say he belongs to the middle class.
The speaker then declared that those
WI call themselves of the middle
class must be placed in a position
where they will not be jeopardized in
their efforts to aid labor.
In closing the speaker declared
that the proposed law in Utah of three
dollars head for those that do not
vote is law that should be com
mended.

Kankakee county is going to erect
seed house, equipped with seed
grading and seed cleaning machiner,
of the most improved type. which
will make it possible to insure clean
tested seed for every farmer in the
county. Kankakee county, in this
way, will gain national prominence
on account of the superiority of seeds.
The association estimates that
clean tested seeds will alone. add half
a million dollars to the crop value
of the county.
Up here at Dallas City, ILL.,, some of
the classes in the high school are
putting in part of their time this
month testing seed corn. The farmer
who wants his seed corn tested is
