organizations.
The canvass was made at the re-
quest of the Federal Bureau of La
Dor and required two weeks While
the number found to be out OF en-
ployment is far less than the esti-
mates made by many authorities, it
includes what are known as seasonal
workers Among these are the outdoor
building trades, of which 1t is est-
mated there are 10000 out of work IN
New York City every winter.
The report also includes the tran
sient trades, such as sailors, circus
and theatrical employees and others
engaged in similar vocations of which
there is a great number of unemploy-
ed at practically any time of the year.

Pinklets Really Do
Correct Constipation

There are few persons who do not
suffer more or less from constipation
and because of the discomfort 1t
causes and the ill-health that results
from this condition everyone should
know how to properly correct it.
Harsh purgatives, formerly much
used, act violently and leave the con-
stipation worse than before. Pink
let's correct this unnatural and dan
gerous condition by gently assisting
the sluggish bowels and torpid liver to
regain their normal activity. Their
action is gentle, but effective and
thorough, and they do not cause a
single grippe. Unlike strong purga-
tives, Pinklets do not upset the stom-
ach nor irritate and over stimulate
the bowels. Because they have none
of these evil effects, they can be taken
with entire safety until the constipa-
ton lis corrected.
To simply regulate the bowels or to
treat obstinate cases of constipation,
Pinklets are the ideal laxative. They
are safe for every member of the fam
lily to use. Any druggist can supply
you at % cents per bottle. Write to
the Dr. Williams Medicine Co,
Schenectady, N. Y, for Pinklet book
which tells all about the cause, symp-
toms and treatment of constipation
and sick headache.-Adv.

Burglars Ransack Cottage Colony
At Lewiston State Fair Grounds

Lewiston. Me-, March 19.-Thirty
cottages, the entire number in the
colony at the Maine State Fair
grounds, Lewiston, have been ran
sacked, the discovery having been
made by A. c. Scribner.
Mr.. Scrihner went to his cottage at
the grounds Thursday of last week
and noticed that an upper window in
the cottage next to his, owned by
Mr.. Lowell, had been broken. He
mended the window and thought
nothing more of the incident until af-
ter he returned.
In thinking over the matter, he re-
membered that bureau drawers were
pulled out in the Lowell cottage and
realized that things seemed in dis
order.
Intending to take off the shutters
and do other things about the cot
tage, MIR. Scribner went to the fair
grounds in good season Sunday morn
ing. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Scribner and they planned to remain
there throughout the day.
When they opened the cottage door
they found everything upside down.
Things were in a general clutter
upstairs and down. The beds had evil
IDENTIFY been slept in and boxes which
had contained dishes had not only
been opened, but many of the dishes
and glasses had been broken and the
pieces were here, there and every
where.
Investigation showed that everyone
of the other % cottages had been en-
tered either by the removal or the
breaking of a window, at the front or
back of the cottage and by looking

throughout the windows it could
plainly be seen that general havoc
had prevailed.
In the cottage next to Mr.. Schibner,
where he had stored a good harness and
blankets in trunk, he found the trunk
open and the harness and other things
in bundle in the middle of the floor, as
If someone had intended to return and
carry off the booty.
Instead of returning to town, Mr.. and
Mrs. Scribner remained at the cottage
but did not turn on the lights. hoping
that If they kept quiet the intruders
might return and they would be able te
capture them.
With this same hope they have staid
at the grounds all the week but have
seen no sign of troublemakers. They
have inquired of Mr. Clark, superinten-
dent of the grounds, but he says he has
seen no one of suspicious appearance
about the premises. Inquiries have been
made elsewhere but no clue has been
secured.
Aside from the general havoc In all the
cottages, quantities Of burnt matches,
cigarette stubs, orange peels and other
refuse food, and beer bottles were much
in evidence.
It has also been found that hay has
been carried from the barn to the horse
stalls not far away and that men OF
boys have slept in the stalls, as well as
in the cottages.
Most of the cottages are owned by out.
of-town people and Mrs. Scribner has
notified civ differeut families of the de-
struction.
While the loss in dollars and cents Is
not great, the sense of insecurity makes
all concerned greatly disturbed over the
affair.

these shades is quite as effective as a
pure black one-but II Is not black. An
other thing to remember in deciding on
the color you wish to secure Is that II Is
very-hard to dye over a red. A red ma
terial will almost never come out a good
black. The best color to dye red is brown.
Remembering these things, IL is well
not to make plans for the gown you are
going to make out OF dyed material until
after the material has been dyed. dried.
and ironed. and examined by%both arti-
fetal and day light. Often material
which proves not satisfactory for the
gown you hoped for is useful for lining
or petticoat material.
Remember, too. that Of all materials
plain cotton goods is the easiest to dye.
and that for this reason Il is often wise
to dye faded cotton dresses. Neu to
cotton. serge. and such even wooden goods
as Panama cloth dye satisfactorily.
Silks. such as satin or messaline. also
show good results. although tafreta .rr
any stin silk is apt to crack. and broad
