4 That is all that some people do.
They are deprived of all the higher
things in life, all the pleasures and joys
of existence because i'll health has rob-
bed them Of their efficiency and ordi-
nary duties now take SO much time
that there is no opportunity for relax

I, Are you like that? If you are, look
into your own case and see if worry is
not responsible for much of your
trouble. See if you do not fret over
little things and scold when you could
Just as well be pleasant.
The disorder which causes its victims
to worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not is neurasthenia.
1t is the great American disease.
The patient is usually pale, showing
that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is to build up the blood
because anything that builds up the
general health helps to correct the
neurasthenic condition.

tonic for this condition because they
are non alcoholic and neurasthenic
patients should avoid alcoholic stimu.

RUSSIAN SHIPS
C0RNERED IN
MOON SOUND.
Escape OF Fleet Said TO Be
Cut Off II
GERMANS IN MUTINY
Reports Also State That Germans
And Austrians Have clashed
In the Adriatic.

Apparently part of the Russian
fleet in all about 20 warships of
various classes-is bottled up in
Moon sound, with Gordon of German
war craft barring their progress north
ward back into the gulf of Finland or
to the south into the gulf of Riga.
Brave, but outclassed by reason of
superior gun range and heavier tom
mage, the Russians gave battle to the
Germans and attempted to force back
the enemy armada off Oesel island.
Standing outside the shell zone of
the Russians, however, the guns of
the German dreadnoughts sank the
battleship Slava-a relic of the days
before the Russo Japanese war, and
so badly damaged other units that
the Russian fiotilla was forced to
seek refuge in Moon sound-lying be
tween Moon island and the Esthonia
coast.
Immediately seeing their advan-
tage, the Germans, according to the
latest German official communication
began intensive operations against
Moon island, hammering its eastern
shore batteries until they were sill
enced and also attacking the Rus
sian guns ON the mainland, putting
them out of action. Moon island was
captured and the Russians took
refuge inside Moon sound.
Thereupon the Germans threw war
ships to the eastern part OF Kassar
bay, lying north of Moon island, bar
ring exit from the northern entrance
to Moon sound, and also rushed con-
tingents to the south of Moon island,
apparently closing the passage to the
south into the gulf of Riga.
Already the Germans have at
tempted to attack from the north in
to Moon sound, but the Russian guns
have held them back successfully.
Among the German warships attack
ing the old line vessels of the Rus
sian fleet were at least two dread
noughts of the Grosser Kurfuerst
type-vessels displacing 25,000 tons,
as against 1856 tons for the Slava.
A majority of the crew of the Slava
was saved by Russian torpedo boats.
With this advantage Of the Ger
man naval forces over the Russians,
however, comes news of fresh disaf
fection in the German fleet and also
of a mutiny in the Austrian fleet in
the Adriatic, and of the bitter feel
ing between German and Austrian
seamen in the Adriatic. German
sailors at Ostend are reported to have

RAILROAD MEN
ASK ANOTHER
PAY INCREASE
Plan Demand For a Raise Of
20 Per Cent
ON EASTERN ROADS
Men Say That the Raise Two Years
Ago Shortened Their Hours But
Didn't Raise Pay.

Ottawa, Oct. 19.-Representatives
of 100000 organized railroad workers
in the northeastern part Of the
United States and eastern Canada de-
cided yesterday to recommend to
their unions that they demand from
their employers wage increases of
not less than 20 per cent. The work
ers involved are trainmen, conG1c-
tors, baggagemen, brakemen and yard
men.
The vote in favor of the demand
for increased pay was unanimous on
the part of 104 chairmen of the
brotherhood of railroad trainmen and
the order OF railroad conductors, who
have been in session at Ottawa for
three days. The question will be sub
mitted to a referendum Of the mem
bers of the brotherhoods, and if their
vote is affirmative negotiations with
the railroad companies will be begun.
If the increases are granted they will
mean the addition of millions Of dol
lars to the annual payrolls OF about
so companies which are involved.
w G. Lee, president of the train
mems organization, in announcing the
decision of the convention, said it had
been determined that railroad work
ers, holding positions Of responsible
ty were entitled to better pay. He
explained that workers in steel mills
and kindred industries had been CIV
en- increases of AZ per cent in wages
in the past year, while trainmen and
conductors have not had more than
80 per cent in 13 years.
In 1918. he said, the men were
granted the eight-hour day, but in a
majority of cases this meant little to
them unless the two hours they
gained could be turned into money
I'm view of the bounding cost of liv-
ing" Mr.. Lee declared, 'the men feel
they are entitled to more money and
they intend to press their demands
for the 20 per cent Increase"
No action was taken on the ques-
tion of the payment of benefits to the
relatives of men of the two brother
hoods who fall in the war, either in
the service of the United States or

SUGAR IN BENNINGTON
Grocers Have Sufficient Stocks for
Immediate Needs.

The local grocers had their troubles
| this morning. No sooner did the
Bennington housewives learn that
there was a shortage of sugar in some
sections OF the country than they be-
gan rush to put in supplies. In
most cases they were met with polite
refusals. The women were informed
that the grocers had sugar on hand,
but that they did not intend to sell
it in quantities to any purchaser and
certainly not to those who were not
regular customers.
Not all the local dealers were visi-
ted this forenoon, but a representa-
tive of the Banner found only one
who was out of sugar. He admitted
that he had large sock on hand
only recently but that he had made a
special effort to dispose Of 1t as he
expected a reduction in price to be
made by the government.
The grocers are doing their best
to quiet the apprehension of their
customers. They say that they in
tend to take care of their regular
trade but that they are not going to
sell sugar in large lots to anyone.
The grocers urge their customers to
purchase in small lots so that the
stock on hand may be made to last
as long as possible. There is no rea-
son to fear but that present situation
will adjust itself in the near future,
Local dealers, too, say that there
is no reason for the advance in the
price of potatoes reported Thursday
from Albany. One dealer on the
street said that he was selling po-
tatoes at retail for s1,25 bushel and
SO cents a peck. There are potatoes
enough he said, and there was no ex-
cuse for the high prices that are be-
ing reported.

HORSES RAN AWAY
One OF Valuable Team Had to be
Killed.

A team of horses owned by the H.
G. White company of North Benning-
ton ran away Thursday. The horses
are used to transport freight to and
from the station and the runaway oc-
Cured in the afternoon as the team
was on it's way from the station.
The driver, Herman LeRay, left the
team in front of one Of the stores on
Main street while he did some trad
ing. Just before he entered the store
he noticed little girl, Amy Thomas,
about eight years old, trying to get in
to the wagon. He cautioned the child
but before he returned to the street.
the girl was in the wagon and the
horses were flying down the street.
There were chains in the bottom of
the wagon and it is probable that the
child in getting in ratified them which
may have startled the horses.
1t does not seem to be known
whether the child was thrown from
the wagon or whether she jumped,
but before the team had run far, the
little girl was on the ground and
aside from a general shaking up, is
uninjured.
The horses, however kept up
good pace till they reached Powers &

and the bad food served to them.

resulted in fight in which men on
both sides were killed. The trouble
was due to the oyerbearing conduct
OF the German seamen, who were at
tached to the submarine flotilla and
it was necessary as a result of the
bad blood to change the German base
in the Adriatic to a point further
south.

they ran into a telephone pole which
knocked one horse down bank and
the other was thrown on the trolly

ner as to injure shoulder
to the extent that it had to
be killed Immediately. The loss OF
the horse and wagon is estimated to
be in the neighborhood of $3.50.

Buckman to reassess Little Falls town,
Buh town, Lastrup village, Morrill,
and Pierz towns. Alex Osowski is ap-
