GET RID OF HUMORS!
Hoods Sarsapariila 10 the Medicine
to T1ke-Makes Pure Blood.

Dry, moist. scaly letter, pimples.
boils, and other eruptions come from
humors, which may be either inherited.
or acquired through defective diges-
ton and assimilation.
To treat these eruptions with dry
ing medicines is dang erous.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reliable
medicine, helps the system to dis
charge the humors, and improves the
digestion and assimilation
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla from your
druggist. It may be confidently relied
upon to do its work. 1t purifies the
blood tones the stomach, and builds
up the whole system. It goes to the
roots of diseases, and it's beneficial re-
suits are permanent. 1t sets things to
rights In the system. Remember to
ask for Hoods Sarsaparilla, because
nothing else acts like it and nothing
else can take it's place.

FORT MADISON, Iowa, April A.
The Lee county board OF supervisors
in session here this morning, let the
contract for wiring the Lee county
home near Keokuk, to the King
Plumbing company of Keokuk. The
necessary permission to string light
wires over certain county highways to
the home have already been granted,
and his will be the last step neces-
sary in equipping the home at Summit
Vile with modern lighting facilities.
The board also established new
road between Belfast and Croton. This
road is established away from the
river and along the Rock Island right
of way 1t is figured that it will be
considerably shorter and much safer
in this position.
The proposed bridge work expenses
have been cut 100 per cent by the
board, which has gone over the esti-
mates of the county engineer in this
matter

The Railroads and the Trainmen.
Globe Democrat: The presentation
by the railroad trainmen Of their de-
mands for a new system of service
based upon an eight-hour day brings
an issue that has been long develop
ing to the point of action. Under the
present system train crews are paid
on a basis Of ten hours or less or
100 miles or less. Either ten hours
or run Of 100 miles constitute a
days work. If run of 100 miles is
completed in less than ten hours it is
nevertheless a day, but if it takes
more than ten hours, overtime is paid
at the same rate per hour until the
run is finished, there being, however,
a limitation by federal law to sixteen
hours of continuous service. II the
run is less than 100 miles payment is
made on the 1O0-mile basis. Now 1t
Is proposed by the trainmen that
eight hours instead of ten constitute
a day, and time and half be paid
for overtime. 1t is contended by them
that the rate of speed can be in
creased so as to carry train as far
In eight hours as is now done in ten.
and that overtime is controllable by
the railroad companies. Therefore.
they say, the railroads can grant
their demand without increase OF
cost. They insist that their sole pur-
pose is to reduce the hours of labor.
Evidence submitted during the arbi-
tration hearing in Chicago showed
that SO percent of engineers and fire.
men worked longer than ten hours,
35 percent longer than twelve hours
and percent longer than -four teen
hours.
On the other hand, the railroads
declare that the work now done in
ten hours cannot possibly be done In
eight; that the change would not at
feet the hours of service, for the
same runs must Of necessity be
made, and that the net result would
be large increase in wages, amount
ing, as they estimate, to $100,000,000
q year, which they are in no condi-
ton to pay. They point to the fact
that many railroads are in the hands
Of receivers, that very few are pay
ing any dividends whatever; that
their expenses have been and are
continually increasing, while their re-
ceipts are rigidly limited by the fed
eral rate-making power. and they de-
clare that train crews are now paid
high wages.
In this dispute between 100000 and
100000 men and every mile of rail-
road in the country are involved. In
magnitude and in menace it Is the
greatest labor issue that has ever
been presented in this country. If a
strike results it will paralyze the in
dustries Of the nation. Every citi-
zen, therefore, is intimately concern
ed. The railroads will gain nothing
by curt refusals. The trainmeh will
make a serious mistake if they de-
cline Cancellation. The facts on both
sides must be fully brought out by
public hearings in arbitration pro-
ceedings. The people have right
to know where justice lies. This is
not a mere wage dispute; it is ma
tional crisis, and every interest
should be brought to bear to effect
an amicable settlement before the
calamity of such strike befalls.
