WILL AID IN RENTING THEM

Have you any vacant houses? Have
you any vacant stores for rent? Or do
you wish any boarders? Every Der
son in Brunsw wick who can answer 1r,y
one or all of these questions in the
affirmative can be aided by the Board
Of Trade.
Yesterday the Brunswick BoarJ nf
Trade announced that it wished every
person in the city who would be in
terested in renting property or in sc.
curing boarders to make u complete,
llst of such desires md fi'e ii at the
Office.
Constantly people not living in the
city are writing the Fcltd of Trade
for such information about the city
and many times it is unable to supply
the necessary information. BY not
being able to supply This information
people are turned away frpr. the city
who would come here and make Bruins
wick their homes.
Secretary "A. M Smith stated yes
tCiuuy tHdt Ohly IL lew udyS ago ne
had been asked to locate a party and
that he was unable to do so and as
result the party was not yet salts
factorily located. He states that there
is no necessity of there being vacant
stores or dwellings, if people want to
live in the city.
"If every person in the city real
ized," said Mr.. Smith, "how many
inquiries we are receiving for such
Information and how much we could
serve them financially and help there
by to build up the city they would
surely follow our suggestion"
People who are renting their prop

reason to take their property out of
those mems hands. The real estate
men Can lisi TIE houses and stores for
rent and the matter will be taken u
with ,hc'l wnel someone apples for

This proposition is entirely gratui-
tious on the part of the Board of
Trade. 1t is being done by that body
to help build up the city and keep
stores and residences from being va

Such lists are requested to be plac-

Railroad Committees Fail to
Meet Demands of the
Trainmen-

May Appeal to Washington
to Have Firm Action to Settle

Satisfied.
STRIKE BREAKERS ORGANIZE

NEW YORK, Aug-The time limit
set by the trainmen for their demands
to be met expired here today without
the strikers being satisfied AS the
result the 100000 persons who dai'v
travel in the cars are expected to be
lnconvenienced tomorrow unless an
agreement can still be reached.
Conferences of the leaders of the
great brotherhood of railroad en-
ployes representing 100000 men, the
majority of whom are believed to have
voted to strike on 225 railway systems
were held here toda These meet
lngS were to enable the leaders TO de.
eide upon their cours of action should
the representatives of .e railroad )
again refuse their demand for an eight
hour day and other changes. The la
Dor leaders declined to discuss the ap-
peal to President Wilson to prevent
the threatened national ra,noad strike.
1t lies in their power by yirtues of the
vote now being counted, to call :.
strike if the railroads do not acceGs
to their demands.
1t is expecte that the conference
committee of the vailroad managers
will again refuse the mems demands
at the meeting next Tuesday and that
the managers will advocate arbitra-
tiOn by the Interstate Commerce com
mission or the Federal Board of Medi
cation; or that the strike be settled
unuCl the Newsstand act of 1914 by
commission of six men two to be ap-
pointed from either side and two to be
neutral. 1t is not regarded as likely
that the labor leaders will consent to
this.
Iii case of a deadlock the railway
managers look to President Wilson
take hand in he controversy by cell
ing representatives of both sides to

must compose their differences il

has been alleged the Savannah recall
bill, but subject totally different, ac.
cording to Charls f. Arrow, state
game and fish commissioner, who was
an eyewitness to the fight.
Mr. Arrow gave the following
statement to the press this morning:
Il was in one of the rooms of Gov
II iris campaign headquarters with A.
j. Lilies, representative from Camden
county. | heard loud talking in the
hall but at first did not pay any at
tention to it. Then | hear Speaker
BurwelPs name mentioned. | walked
into the hall and saw Vason and Eel
der standing there.
Vason was abusing Fielder in ramb-
ling, muttering undertone His words
were not clear but | heard him ac-
cuse Fielder of telling a lie on Bill
Burwell.' He called Fielder a -.
liar Then the two men rushed into
a clinch. There was mighty dim
light in the hallway. and ] could not
tell which one was the aggressor.
Nothing whatever was said about the
Savannah recall bill so far as could
hear"
Speaker Burwell said he had no
idea what Lies" Vason was referring
to. as he had heard no mention Of
any statements Mr.. Fielder may have
made about him. Vasons and the
other doorkeepers and pages of the
house were appointed by the speak
er.
Statements that the Savannah re
call bill led to the cutting were Wig
orously denied both by friends and
enemies of the bill on the floor of the
senate this morning. Several sena
tors, who have led the opposition to
the bill, rose on points of personal
privilege and expressed themselves
as resenting the intimation that the
bill or rather the author of the bill, or
it's friends had anything to do with
the fight.
Mr. Fielder was reported resting
easy this morning at st. Joseph's In
firmary, where he was taken immedi'
ately after he was stabbed in the left
side.
DR.. Samuel Green states that the
chief danger is from infection and the
that the knife blade pene
trated to the patients lung. The knife
was thrust through one rib and cutting

is two inches deep. 1t is an inch and

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast Says We can't look or feel right with the system full
 of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath ?'' you say. We'll, it is guaranteed to perform miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This is very excellent health measure. It is in tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous days waste, sour biie and indigestible material left ever in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou- ble, kidney misery, Sleeplessness, im- pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next but who simply can not get feeling right, are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but Is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the sub ject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act eh the skin. cleansing, sweetening and freshening so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.
