iOn Friday of last week the paper
making machinery at the local paper
mill came to standstill ,at. 5 O'Clock
III the afternoon and the paperma kers,
| IL in number, left work and called. for
their time and pay: This was the. re-

Not only did the local papernlakers
strike but also 20 at Grand Rapids and
about. so at Sartell.2 These, however,
went on strike Thursday evening with
the same demands. The mills have been
running II hours days and thirteen
hours nights. The men claim that the
great heat coupled with the large
amount of steam and cement floors,
makes the working hours too long. They
also state. that the machines are at
the present day running nearly twice
! as fast as they formerly did. The fol
! lowing scale Of hours and wages has
been prepared by the strikers, show
inc the cost of the IL and 13 hour
shifts and the proposed eight hour
shifts. This scale shows that under the
! eight hour scale there would be or
ference Of but 1888, which, according
, to the papermakers can be made up IN
, fifteen minutes on the machinery.

Try Skin Absorption
Instead of Cosmetics
(From the Woman Militant )


The constant use of rouge and powder
invites coarsened, roughened condition
OF the skin. eruptions. enlarged pores ana
wrinkles. If you've learned this from ex-
perience, suppose you quit cosmetics and
try what I recommend.
Ask your druggist for an ounce of or
dinary mercolized wax and begin using
this tonight. Apply like cold cream,
washing it off in the morning. Keep this
UP for week or two. The wax will lit
orally absorb the coarse, colorless or
blemished top skin, but gradually as
not to discommode you at all. Just as
gradually the clear. velvety, naturally
tinted undersSin comes to the surface.
And mercoized wax becomes your ever
lasting friend.
For those wrinkles and large pores,
make a face bath by dissolving an ounce
of powdered saxolite in half pint witch
hazel. This has remarkable astringent
and tonic properties, and beneficial re-
suits come quickly.
