THE NEWEST RErIEDY
FOR
Backache, Rheumatism and 0fOpsy.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery 10 many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisOns are carried TO all parts Of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and gains, heaviness, droWsiness, irrita-
bllity, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matlsm. In some people there are sharp
palms in the back and l0ins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin-
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
joints, II causes iumbagO, rheumatism,
Eout or sciatica. This is the time 70 try

Do THIS EIRST-YQU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system Of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs
Drugs never build up a wom-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood-making oil

the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat,

The strike order of the carpenters dis
tret council was followed today ny r.
taliative measure in the form of a loci
cit directed at 5000 carpen.ers. The
locfout debarred union carpenters from
work on 4oo0 buildings being erected by
ITO contractors who are bonded TO main
tain their stand until every union in the
structural trades comes to terms. The
terms include an antistrike agreement
covering a period of three years. Union
leaders declared tonight the strike would
rot end until the demands of the men
fer a wage increase had been srantd
It was estimated that 125,ooo wage-esrn-
ers in Chicago were made jobless, for the
lockout and strike tied up operations en-
100000 worth of work.
The labor situation in Chicago has been
growing more tense each day since March

building trades unions that are confront

employers associations terms or being
locked out are Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, Cement F'nishers and Marble
Segters.

thrown into receivers hands have also
affected other department store business.
1t is more than matter of local inter-
est. The Claf1in failure affected many
parts of the country. One of the depart
ment stores which went into bankruptcy
a year ago was affiliated with large stores
in Boston and in Chicago.
The Claffin failure was from one point
of view without parallel. 1t was disclosed
that commercial paper somewhat in ex-
cess of s40000,O0o was among the obliga-
lions of this house. Mr.. Clafiin has con-
tributed not only his entire personal for
tlne-if those who should know report cor
rectly-but also of his time and energy so
that reorganization and a gradual but ul-
tinately sure settlement with the credi-
tors could be arranged for. The Claflin
house represented a number of depart
ment stores, some in New York and some
in other parts of the country Business
men wondered whether the depa tment
store business might not have been on err
done. Certainly it appears to have been
oVerdone i'll that section of this city which
was a. few years ago the chief high-grade
retail section. 1t is not SO long ago that
men who began a few years earlier their
business careers IN little shops demon
strated their success by building great de-
partment store structures. There were
several of these on both sides of Sixth
avenue. For a half mile running north
and south that thoroughfare was the CEN
ter of perhaps the largest department
store shopping in New York The build
ings that were put up were regarded as
magnificent specimens of business archi-
90 ara ii far fo,. hot
day. Millions were invested in some of
them The department store which day
or two ago was placed in the hands of re-
ceivers represented 20 years ago, when it
was built, an investment of between
100000 and $70D0.000. There was Il time
when the building and the real estate
might have been easily marketed for &c.
0o0,000 but it is very doubtful whether at
forced sale it could now command as
much as the original cost of land and
building. A blight seemed to have struck
this great shopping thorouShfare. One
by one the department stores either liqui-
dated or went into receiyer's hands. The
luiIdings now stand gaupt and empty 5nd
faring advertisements indicate that TIN
antry, which is greatly sought, has not
yet been secured.
The Fashion of Trade
No doubt a part of this change which
has occurred within the past 10 years
was due to the extraordinary swiftness
of the movement which has now made
Fifth avenue a great retail shopping thor
oughfare. But that does not entirely ex-
plain the depreciation and after that the
practical destruction of department store
business which at one time represented
in the aggregate from s50,000,0 600 to $780,
600 600 of yearly sales. The shifting of
trade to new centers in the past eliminated
some large department stores. There
