The conductor was at loss only for a

AUXILIARY STEEL SCHOONERS.

Atlantic coast shipping interests are
placing orders on the Great Lakes for
steel schooners to be operated both by

latest order is from the Thomas B.

yards Of Toledo. The advent of these
motor fitted schooners may revolutionize
the coast carrying trade. 1t is said they
are designed for the South American
trade and also for European service, and
that in fitting them with motors it is
planned that they may be able to ascend
rivers and enter harbors independent of
lows, the saving on that account being
considerable of an item, and aside from
that the motor propulsion is expected to
save many days of lying to waiting for
favorable winds.

An AFTER-DINNER PILL

Most people eat too much. Ii you are
hearty eater help your digestion take
care of the overload by taking one Pink
let, the little sugar-coated laxative gran
ules, after big dinner. Pinklets gently
stimulate the stomach, prevent conges..
ton and the many distressing results OF
over-indulgence at the table.
Pinklets, the new laxative, are greatly
superior to old-fashioned medicines which
over-stimulate the liver and, when their
use is stopped, leave it more torpid than
before. Pinklets do not upset the stom-
ach or cause gripping.
Pinklets should be in every household.
Do not wait until you need to take them
but buy bottle now. If your druggist
cannot supply you send 25 cents to the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co. Schenectady,
N. Y, for full-size bottle.

Another Democratic .Blundef.

WASHINGTON. D. c., October 10, 1915.
A blunder by the Democratic Congress
has crippled one of its most important
labor laws.
The last Congress passed provision
intended to prohibit the use in govern
ment plants under the War Department
of certain customs opposed by labor Or
CARNATIONS. That provision is practl-
cally imperative today. A vital link IN
the chain of legislation was omitted.
The labor provision referred to was the
center of one of the bitterest fights OF
the session. 1t was intended to prevent
the use of army appropriations for
making time study of employees or to
pay any premium, bonus or cash reward
to any employee in addition to his regu-
lar wages" and was enacted as an
amendment to the army appropriation
bill.
The struggle over this amendment all
but caused the failure of the army bill.
First adopted by the House, it was re-
jected by the Senate after long drawn
out controversy. When the bill went
back to the House, they refused to ratify
the Senate's action
The measure then went to a confer.
ence committee of the two branches.
They tried in vain to harmonic the diff
loh oil
ways the principal bone of contention.
Scores of other disagreements were dis
posed of, but the Senate continued to
oppose the labor clause and the House to
support it. Three times conference COM
mittee reports were rejected because of
the labor regulation alone.
Not until Senators realized they must
vote for it or defeat the entire appro-
priation did they give it up. The passage
Of the army bill containing the labor
regulation speedily followed.
On the same day Congress passsd an
act authorizing the War Department to
expend more than six million dollars for
Notifications and other defenses. To
make the labor clause effective, it was
as essential to the Notifications bill as to
the army bill.
There is not one line or word of the
labor regulation in the Notifications act.
1t was not proposed as part of this law
in either House or Senate, although to
include 1t in the army act and not in the
Notifications law was mere farce. The
days and weeks of fierce conflict that had
worn the strength and tempers of the
contestants to shreds proved to be sham
battle.
This is not an isolated blunder. 1t is
but one of hundreds that have been
woven into the entire fabric of Demo
cratic egislation-another evidence of
Democratic incompetency and ineffici-
ency.

FIRE ON CAPE ROZlER.
Mr.. and Mrs. Percy Clifford Left Homeless

WI. ana MRS. Fefcy Cun0rd Lett homeless.
CAPE Roz1ER, Me-, Oct. Is. Saving
their five head of cattle, two barrels of
flour and few clothes they were able to
put on burriedly, Mr.. and Mrs. Percy
Clifford, we'll known residents of Cape
Rozier, who have conducted a general
store and farm here for many years,
Thursday found themselves homeless,
their store, shed, grain house and stable
with practically all their contents being
destroyed by fire early in the morning.
The buildings were valued at $1,000 and
there is an insurance of about So, 300
through an Ellsworth agency. The Cliff.
ford place is located on the Cape road
near the post office, which is about half
way between Harborside and Weir cove.
The fire illuminated the sky for miles
around and attracted many neighbors
whose assistance, however, was unavail-
ing as the fire burned so quickly that
nothing but a eteam fire engine could
have confined the fire to the store. Mr..
and Mrs. Clifford are now staying with
the latter's mother, Mrs. Frank Saw
yer, who lives about half mile from
their home.
