ADVISES UNION MEN
TO SPREAD GOSPEL

DENVER, Jan. 13.-In an open let
ter to Colorado organized workers,
President McLennan, Of the state fed
Grafton of labor, calls on every union
man and woman to act as self-ap-
pointed, energetic organizer.
THE story Of unionism and its ben
eficent results should not be told so
much in the union halls and at the
union meetings." he says. "The tell
ing Is needed much more in the
streets, in the factories, workshops.
mines and on the jobs-where it can
reach the ear of the non-union man
who attends no meeting. The union
gathering will take care Of itself.
None but union men and union wo-
men are there. They are already
converted. The missionary work must
be done on the outsfde." -.

FASHION FADS ARE
HARD ON WORKERS
Rapid Changes Result In Un-
stable Employment Conditions
Among Many Women.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Unem-
ployment is more uncertain in shoe
factories than in any other industry,
except the mems and women's cloth
ing industries, according to a report
issued by the department of labor.
Investigations indicate that these
seasonal fluctuations are largely due
to the so-called "order SYSTEM"
which manufacturers regard as nee
essary because of the rapid changes
in fashion and the uncertainty in re-
gard to the styles which will be used.
Some Indication of the instability
of the working force among women
shoe workers is given " the fact
that the number Of women employed
in the week. Of: maximum employ
ment is only 81 per cent o. the total
number employed during the year,
as shown by the pay rolls. :.
OF. the women who worked 40
weeks or more, all adult, experienced
and steady workers, three fifths
earned less than $500 a year and not
far from: one-half earned only $3.50
or less.
Enthusiastically, however, these
earnings" says the report, Exceed
those Of any other large body Of fac
tory workers."
The, report says these points stand
out prominently as a result of inves-
LEGATIONS of women shoe workers:
The fluctuations make steady en-
ployment impossible, and, as a con-
sequence Of this irregularity of work,

and experienced women shoe work.

SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of hydrochIoric acid sours the
food and forms gases.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hy-
per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest, we belch up gas, we
eruetate sour food or have heartburn,
fatulence, -brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharm-
acy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and drink while it is
effervescing and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for a week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro-
mote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands of people
for stomach trouble with excellent re-
suits.

REPRESENTED AT HARTFORD
Local Chamber of Commerce Partici,
pates In Votes at State Meeting.

The directors of the Connecticut
Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday
in Hartford, and passed strong reso-
buttons in favor of allowing the rail-
road to retain control of the Sound
line steam boats. This action was
taken after hearing both sides OF the
question, the railroad sending a man
at the directors request. The vote
was unanimous. Putnam, represented
by Rev. G. J. Hartman as proxy for
c. S. Andem, voted favorably, as did
Willimantic and Norwich.
The local importance OF this mat
ter lies in the fact that much of the
product Of Putnam mills is shipped
to New London, thence to New York,
arriving early in the morning, II ship
ped before p. m.
The Putnam Chamber Of Commerce
directors passed similar resolutions at
meeting Saturday evening.
Among other actions Of the state
directors was the unanimous approval
OF the recommendations OF the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
in Referendum No, II, favoring
changes in the LAFollette Seamen's

way and that the birds appreciate
what is being done for them is dem
onstrated by the manner in which
they get away with the grain that is
put out for them. This winter was
not hard on the birds q few weeks

have been having their difficulties. The
care that is being taken of the birds

that the losses from weather causes
