Nj. Brown, President, was made fol-
lowing the November meeting of the
Board of Directors. This Is not sud-

cording to Mr.. Brown. On the con-
trary, it is merely carrying to COM
pletion the policy adopted in theory
several years ago, and which has been
put into effect in various departments
as rapidly as conditions justified.
Mr.. Brown said further that this ac-
ton was taken despite the fact that
the custom of working eleven hour day
shifts and thirteen-hour night shifts
prevailed almost universally among felt
and paper mills and roofing factories.
and that his Company's scale of wages
was already higher than the average in
like industries.
At the same time the announcement
OF the eight-hour day was made, an

ASTHMA
Simple Harmless Remedy Brings

Many cases of immediate relief and
rapid recovery from Bronchial Asthma OF

and lungs are being credited to a discov-

cester, Mass Dr. Towards prescription
which is totally different from all usual
methods of treatment for these Affections
is called Oxidaze and comes in the form of
a tablet which the patient allows to dis
solve slowly in the mouth. Its curative,
healing juices thus mingle with the saliva
and enter every crevice of the irritated
bronchial membranes. release the muscu-
lar construction of the bronchial tubes
open up the air passages and regulate
the spasmodic lung action. These tablets
though pleasant to the taste. are so pow
erful and rapid in their action that many
users who for years were obliged to sit
up in bed gasping for breath and unable
to sleep report that they now put single
Oxidaze tablet in their mouth when going
to bed and can then lie down and breathe
easily and naturally and get a good
nights restful sleep. Bowditch &, Web
ster and many other local druggists who
handle OxidaZe tablets sell it on the posi-
tive guarantee of money back If it does
not give immediate relief

If you had a crate of holly and an
armful of mistletoe and boughs upon
boughs of evergreen, you could decor
ate your house for Christmas with
perfect satisfaction. But being poor
or "poorish" always takes more skill
than being well-to-do, and so it takes
more skill to make the little nubbins
of holly and the wee branch of ever
green bring cheer to the entire house.
or apartment, or bungalow, or fiat,
where you live.
So with the little greenery plan to
make your decorations central-put
them where they will show the most
especially by artificial light, for it is in
the evening that most of the house
hold are at home to enjoy it.
If you are still so old fashioned in
your household arrangements-and
most of us areas to have a central
chandelier in your living-room or par
lor," and mantlepiece somewhere in n
prominent location of that room
those are the places for your yuletide
decorations.
If you have some evergreen n is
most effective to make it into festoons.
and this can be done with a little skill
by means of the green's and a stout
cord with which to Irvine them. A
very little holly can be woven into the
rope of green and when this festoon
has grown to three or four feet in
length you may call it complete and
Loop it up attractively at the MANTLE
piece.
A branch of evergreen or better still
another festoon may be hung from the
chandelier.
For the windows nothing is more at
tractlve than wreaths, and of the
many styles of wreaths none is pref
tier than that made entirely of the
glossy dark green leaves and bright
red berries Of the holly without a
single touch of other green, and with
out any bows or festoons save possibly
bow of scarlet ribbon to match the
berries
At the breakfast table it is very
nice to have a sprig of holly laid at
each place with a pin lying beside it
SO that every member Of the house.
hold can decorate for the happy day.
christmas cheer may be added to
the house by crepe paper decorated
with holly and poinsettia designs,
though. of course, the real green and
berries always give a more effective
bit of color. 1t is charming plan to
use this paper in the children's room
and to tack few yards of it across
their wall opposite their beds where
they may see it the first thing in the
morning. Especially suitable is one
design showing fine old fat Santa
orlving his little RENDERS across the
snow-strewn roofs. This could easily

at $1,000
When note or bond is given, the mort
gage which secures it is to be construed
with it. while a mortgage may describe
the debt as well as the note or bond ana
thus qualify their terms.
Upon writ of entry for foreclosure of
a mortgage for support, the sum to be
paid by defendant to redeem should be a
present equivalent for full performance
In cases of the character of the present,
the relief in equity must be adapted TO
the nature of each case and must be as
