meet since the approval of the act.

CHILDREN We WORRY ABOUT

Close confinement in school during
the past winter, overstudy perhaps, an
attack of the grip or tonsilitis, some
one of these things is doubtless respon-
sible for the condition of the child who
shows a decline il health now.
What are the symptoms? Pallor and
languor, a tickle appetite, dark rings
under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very
often the best efforts OF the family
pnvsician fail in such cases and tho
condition OF the child causes the most
intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil, so often
prescribed, generally fails because the
weak stomach is unable to digest fats.
Try this treatment. Before break
last each morning give the child the
juice of half an orange. After then
meal give one of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Keep this up for few days and
then give one of the pills after tho
evening meal also. Weigh the child
before beginning the treatment and
again after two weeks. An increase in
weight of from two to five pounds will
show you that you are on the right
track at last. Care is necessary in the
diet of the patient and it will be well
to send to The DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for a dict
book and the pamphlet, Building Up
the Blood" Both are free. Your own
druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills,

Interstate Commerce Member
Declares Wilson'S Proposals
Are Doomed to Failure
By .Assoctated Prcss

Washington, Aug. 80. - Senator
Cummins. of Iowa, one of the Pro-
gressive Republicans of the Interstate
Commerce Committee, voicing opposi-
ton in the Senate to-day to some of
President Wilson's legislative proposals
to meet the railroad crisis declared
that Congress, in search of legislation
was confronted by a "Scylla and a
Charybdis" and that 1T will be inter
esting to consider how far we can
steer away from one without encount-
ering the perils of the other"
Senator Cummins insisted that COM
pulsory arbitration was not only i'm
practicable but unconstitutional and
that any attempt to establish maxi
mum wages for railroad employees
was doomed to complete and i'm
mediate failure" although Congress
undoubtedly has the right to prescribe
both minimum and maximum wages.
The Senator proposed as a possible
deterrent to industrial disputes, with
out advocating it or expressing any
opinion on the justice or wisdom of
1t, legislation that would impose a
modified or partial restriction of the
right to strike in a combined way,
which he said. would make for in
dustrial peace and at the same time
would not unduly infringe upon per-
sonal liberty"

Warn Wilson 8-Hour Day

Washington, Aug. 80. - Robert T.

protesting against Mr.. Wilson's recon-
mendation to Congress yesterday that
law be passed for an eight-hour
basic day for railroad employees actual
ly engaged in the work of operating
trains in interstate transportation.
Mr.. Frazier pointed out that this
legislation would not affect eighty per
cent. of railroad employees.
Il must respectfully warn you of
the events sure to follow" wrote Mr.
Frazier, which will place the in
dustrial fabric of the nation in greater
jeopardy than at present; the eighty
per cent. must of necessity organize
and present their demands for recogni-
, ton and protection"
Mr.. Frazier has presented to Mr..
! Wilson petitions signed by 10000 un-
organized railroad employees protest
ing against a strike.

resented as in entire accord with the
purpose to prevent in some way the
threatened tieup. Some measures to
be agreed on probably will be attached
to the bill pending in the Senate to
increase membership of the Interstate
Commerce Commission from seven to
nine.
The eight-hour law for Interstate
railroad traffic suggested by the Presi-
dent is not entirely agreeable to the
brotherhoods for they want with the
eight-hour day ten hours pay and
Congress has no authority to prescribe
wages. The employees expect the prin-
cipal fight against this to be made by
the railroads, however The proposal
for investigation by a presidential
commission is welcomed by the rail-
roads. but not by the men.
The suggestion that Congress en-
power the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to grant higher rates as rec
ompense for increased wages is
frowned upon by the railroads on the
belief that shippers would object and
the good will of these interests would
be lost. The most violent objection of
the brotherhoods is to the proposed
law for investigation of future labor
disputes and the prohibition of strikes
or lockouts during the investigation
railroad executives favor this measure
Many legislators believe the Presi-
dents recommendation Of law au-
thorizing forced governmental opera
ton of certain roads for military rea-
sons is superfluous: they insist that
the other action contemplated will
torestall the strike of itself.
