FALL RIVER NEWS

Fall River, Mass. The
Painters have been on. strike for the
past few weeks in an effort to secure
an advance in wages and the forty
four hour week. The members of. the
are standing Loyalty by
tehir. demands and the hope is enter
tanned that an adjustment will be Sc
cured. The carpenters also are on
strike about $50 men being involved.
The brickleyers and masons are also
on strike to secure a wage increase.
There seems to be combination of
employer associatins which has de-
termined to resist all wage demands.
These employers associations have re-
fused the lervices of the tate board Of
arbitration although the organizations
involved have offered to submit their
differences to the board. 1t is stated.
that the employers are afraid to place
their case before an arbitration tribu-
nal because of the fact that their prof
its have been exorbitant and in com
parison with other Massachusetts cit
les, a larger increase than asked by
the trades involved would be justif-
able As matter of fact it is stated
that the carpeter contractors of Bos-
ton realize "a profit of cents per
hour per man or 40 cents per day,
while the Fall River contractors have
been making profit per man Of
S1J26 per day. This same ratio of
profit it is stated, is enjoyed by other
building trades contractors.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi.
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as
natural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This is impor-
tant at all ages, but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics,
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But a lash can't be

They work while you sleep.

and official record of the birth or
death of the best stock we have-the
American baby. In one of our West
ern states, some few years ago, a case
was brought into the law courts involv-
ing the inheritance of a considerable
estate by a young girl. 1t was neces-
sary to prove that she was born be-
fore a certain date. There was no
official record on file to show the date
of her birth; it had not been record
ed by her family even in that reposi-
tory of so much similar data-the fam
lily Bible. Her father swore that she
was born on a certain date, and when
he was required to tell how he could
be sure, he said that he remembered
it was two days before the birth of
a fine blooded calf and that he had
kept an account of the calf's birth, as
it was registered stock. The girl in
herited her fortune on this evidence,
though her birth had seemingly been
a less important occasion than that of
the calf"

Old People Need
II Bowel StifnulQ1t
The Ideal One is a Mild Laxative
Tonic That viii Keep the Bow
els Gently Active.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly, The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty Of
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
NEST elderly people One thing is GER
tain, that state of constipation
should always he avoided. as it is dan
gerous to life and health. The best
plan is to take a mild laxative rs often
as is deemed necessary. But with
equal certainty it is suggested that
cathartics, purgatiyes physics, salts
and pills be avoided, as they do but
temporary good and are so harsh as
to be shock to a deli ate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is posi-
BILE. In fact, the tendency of this
remedy is to strengthen the stomach
and bowel muscles and so train them
to act naturally again, when medi-
cines of all kinds can usually be dis
pensed with. This is the opinion
of many people of different ages,

son, of University Mound Home, San

WORLD MEETING OF WHITE
RIBBONERS OPENS AT BROOKLYN

New York, Oct. 23.-White gibbons
futtered in Brooklyn today. Women
of every creed and station, wearing
the snowy badge of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union attached
to emblems from every land and from
every state in the Union and every
province of Canada, gathered in the
"City of Churches" in readiness for the
opening of the ninth triennial conven-
ton of the Worlds w. c. T. U.
Il The arrival of the foreign delegates
started the wheels of the convention
activities. A glance at the register
maintained at the convention head
quarters gave evidence of the fact that
the gathering is destined to be the
most representative in character in the
history of the worldwide organization.
Great Britain and her colonies have
sent the largest delegation from across
seas. The delegation is headed by
Lady Aurea Howard, daughter of the
worlds president, the Countess of
Carlisle. The latter found it impos-
sible to come to the convention on ac-
count of i'll health and in her absence
the sessions will be presided over by
her daughter. Other prominent dele
gates from England are Lady Hope,
the leader of the movement for the es-
tablishment of coffee houses in Eng
land; Miss Agnes Slack, an honorary
secretary of the worlds body, and Miss
Annie Strankie- Cameron, who is worlds
secretary Of the Young Peoples
Branch.

sionary who was captured and held

for ransom by brigands in Macedonia,
will sit in the convention at the repre-
sentative Of Bulharia The Australian
delegation is headed by Lady Holder,
the president of the organization in
that part of the world, Scotland and
South Africa have sent good-sized del
egations, and far-away China, Japan,
India, Argentine and Uruguay will have
their representatives; also, many other
countries.
Historic Plymouth Church, the pull
pit of which was occupied for many
years by Henry Ward Beecher, was
well filled at the preliminary devo-
tional services today, many men being
present. The time was given up to
brief addresses by many delegates, to
one sentence prayers and to singing.
Miss Elizabeth Greenwood led the
services.
This morning the executive commit
tee of the worlds union met at the
Hotel Brossert and completed final ar
engagements for the business of the
convention. The sessions proper will
begin in the Brooklyn Academy of
Music tomorrow morning, when the
delegates will be welcomed by Mayor
Adolph L. Kline, Borough President
Lewis H. Pounds of Brooklyn, and Will
liam A. Marble, president of the Mer-
chants Association of New York. The
sessions will continue until next Tues
day. Sunday will be the big day of the
, convention. On the morning of that
day the pulpits of many of the leading
churches in Brooklyn and Manhattan
will occupied by prominent speakers
attending the convention. In the after
noon a great mass meeting will be
held in the Academy of Music in
Brooklyn.
The present year marks the fortieth
anniversary of the founding of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
which had its origin In q great temp
erance movement, which swept the
United States in 1873. 1t was not un.
til some years later, however, that
the world organization was formed
under the leadership of Miss Francis
Willard. The first general convention
of the Worlds w. C. T. U. was held
in Boston in 1891 and the second in
Chicago during the Worlds Columbia
Exposition London had the conven-
ton next in 1895, then Toronto in 1897,
Edinburgh in 1900, and Geneva in 1903.
It returned to Boston again in 1906,
went to Glasgow in 1910, and Brook
lyn was selected for 1913.

of the United States or the whole
United States will do with the prohi-
bition question whenever it is made
an issue. 1t has become probably the
most active and effective political
agency in the country.
When the league was organized,
twenty years ago, outside of a few
thinly populated prohibition states
there was hardly a spot on the map
of the United States where liquor
was not sold openly and legally. To-
day 70 per cent of the total area of
the United States-2,130,746 square
miles-is dry" territory. There are
nine states in which it is illegal to
sell liquor anywhere in the common
wealth:
Georgia, Kansas. Maine, Mississippi,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Okla
homa, Tennessee, West Virginia
There are ten other states in which
more than 80 per cent of the total
area is dry" These states are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Flori-
da, Kentucky. New Hampshire, New
Mexico, Utah, Vermont, Wyoming.
Arkansas has just passed a law re-
Quiring a petition signed by all the
adult white men and women in any
community before a saloon can be
opened, practically insuring statewide
prohibition.
On the other hand, there is not a
single state that is entirely wet"
New Jersey comes nearest with only
four-tenths of 1 per cent of it's area
prohibition. Three-quarters of Penn
sylvania is license" territory. But
Illinois and Missouri are each 70 per
cent dry" and IS per cent of New
York State is prohibition territory
