no medicine has ever done as much
for me as DR.. Williams Pink pills and
have recommended them to many of
my friends and neighbors."
Connecticut Man Benefited
Mr.. Charles B. Montgomery, Justice
OF the Peace, of Packer, Conn, was
afflicted with muscular rheumatism as
result OF exposure while a member of
Co. C, First Rhode Island Volunteer
infantry during the Spanish American
war. He says:
Ire pains We're in the joints of my
left arm and leg and always followed
a spell of numbness. My left foot
would swell and be very sore and pain
full. so much so that I could not lace
my shoe. During the early part of my
sickness ! was practically helpless and
confined to the bed for two and three
weeks at time. tried many remedies
without benefit and had been sick for
many years before I used Dr. Williams
Pink Pills. | saw great benefit after
taking only few boxes and took the
pills until l had entirely recovered"
Why Good Blood Is Red
When the blood is deficient in these
red corpuscles the person not only be-
comes pale but the body is under
nourished, the weight is usually re-
duced and as the nerves share in the
general starvation some form of ner-
vousness follows. When the blood is
improved in quality the tissues are
better nourished and all the functions
of the body are better performed.
When the blood lacks red corpus
cles it is a scientific fact that a course
of treatment with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will cause them to increase This
can be demonstrated by a microscopic
examination and anyone can prove it
by looking in a mirror, for an increase
in red blood shows quickly in the
cheeks and especially in the lining
membranes of the eyelds
No Increase in Price
There has been no increase in the
price of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Your
own druggist can supply you or the
pills will be sent by mail, postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50 by the DR.. Williams

drink lots OF water and above all take
a spoonful Of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism IL caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which Is gen
GRATED in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t Is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means Of
freeing the blood Of this impurity. In.
damp and chilly. cold weather the skin
pores are closed. thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid, which ke ,ps accumula-
ting and circulating through the sys-
tenn. eventually settling in the joints
and muscles, causing stiffness, sore
ness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy apout four
ounces of Jad Salts: put tablespoon
ful in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for . week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac-
ton. thus Kidding the blood Of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant. effervescent lithia water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is benc-
ficial to your kidneys as well-Adv.

APPROVES
 EIGHT HOUR DAY
Decision by Umpire to Ali feet Labor of the Entire
 Nation.

In an award made public yesterday by the National War Labor Board in an action submitted to the board by a union of Moulders against the Wheling Moulders & Foundry Co.,, of West Virginia, a precedent of vital importance to al workmen in the country is contained. The decision clearly reflects the attitude of the government to the effect that eight hours of work in every period of "A hours is all that should be required of a human being and that privately owned interests should extend the same humans working agreements of fered by the government.
 The question of the application of the eight-hour day policy to war time conditions has been the source of widespread unrest and dissatisfaction among working men of all classes. The elements involved proved too complicated to allow of a ununani- nous decision in the matter by the members of the War Labor Board and inasmuch as all decisions of that body must be unanimous it was neces- Sary for the first time to submit the matter to an umpire, Justice Walter Clark, chief clerk of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, and one of ten men named as umpires and to be selected by lot for consideration of all cases upon which the War Board failed of agreement the award of Jus l tice Clark automatically becomes the | award f the War Labor Board.
 | It is the decision of Justice Clark | that workmen should not be compell- ! ed to work more than eight hours 8 1 day or any other reason than vel i established emergency, and in his | decision he provides for a democratic
 rather than an arbitrary means of es- | tab1ishing the existence of the com | polling emergency. Heretofore the
 employer has been priviliged to de.
 eide whether an emergency existed | but, ccording to the terms of the new
 award which will afford preceden 1 for all future controversies in tht
 matter of working days and thei1 1 length all decisions regarding emer
 gency will be reached by a majorit.

Norwalk, Sept. 19.-Chester S. Sel- leck, former cashier of the Fairfield County National bank of Norwalk, and treasurer of the first taxing district of the city, was arrested yesteday charged with misappropriating the districts funds to the amount of $35.000
 Selleck was a bank cashier until quite recently. As treasurer of the district he should have been ready with a report to the annual meeting Tuesday night. He would not prepare it and the district commissioners talk ed with him. Action was taken, the arrest being made at Selleck's home, and a police officer placed over him. Selleck was under S12,O00 bonds as treasurer. It is understood that Sel- leck's accounts as cashier of the bank and as district treasurer are being ex- anlined

both emploxer. and employes.

both employer and employees.
 The hours and terms of many unions of workmen are already es- tablished by federal statutes, but more than two million men are em- ployed in conditions which make the new award of vital importance to them. It is the first great step in the application of the national policy of an eight hour day and forms a prece- dent upon which all future controver- sies regarding hours may we'll be ad- judicated.,
 The case in point brought by the molders of West Virginia was based upon an agreement which had as it's first condition the assurance that eight hours would constitute a days work for all moulders and coremak- CTS. There were other conditions named in the agreement, but the con- troversy grew out of the meaning of that one provision.

FINED FOR ABUSE.

Vartan Kalafian, 2S, of 27 Willys Place was handed a $3 fine by Judge Wilder in the city court today when arraigned for using abusive language to Mrs. Cunningham, of HOS Barnum avenue.
 According to the evidence produced it appeared that Mrs. Cunningham boarded a, jitney bus which was driv- en by Kalafian, with a child in her arms. The jitneur demanded she pay fare for the child. but Mrs. Gun ningham protested she was carrying the infant and that she would not pay fare for him. Then the driver be- came violently abusive and was only silenced when a policeman was called by Mrs. Cunningham.

LAKE COMP ANY ,STkNPS SALES
  ARE EXTENSIVE

The Lake Torpedo Boat O. has been most active in the sale of War Savings stamps. The company only began active operations two or three weeks ago. but since that time they have carried it on with characteristic en- ergy. They have gotten permission from the government to open to the public one of the submarines which has been placed on skids on dry land in their ship building yard, and the public is invited to view this subma- rine. to go all over it. and to become acquainted with just the manner and style of our fighting undersea craft Guides are enlisted from the Lake force to explain the workings of the vessel. and to show everything about it. The only condition of admission is that every one who views it shall buy a dollars worth of Thrift Stamps During the time of the 1000 to 1 con- test all purchasers of S1 worth of Ehrift Stamps will receive the coupon entitling them to one chance at the $1, 900 prize. The submarine will be open to inspection for two or three weeks longer, on Saturday afternoons and Sundays Great numbers of Bridgeport people have availed them- selves of this unusual opportunity to view at close range a modern subma- rine.
 1 As an evidence of the zeal and en- thusiasm of the Lake Co $4.300 worth of War Savings and Thrift Stamps have already been sold in this brief campaign and the company, as well as the committee in charge, is bound to go over the top in this matter as well as in all other patriotic efforts. Five thousand dollars is the minimum goal which has been set. and with such a big start as $4,3O0 it seems certain to be attained.
 Active in the conduct of the Lake campaign are General Manager P. B | Brill. Treasurer C. F. Adams. Ralph Bowne of the employment office, Har- ry Dedin of the plan engineering de- partment Miss Esther M. Dunn, sec
 retary to the general manager and

WAR LABOR BOARD HEADS ASKED FOR
 INTERPRETATION

William Howard Taft and Frank Walsh, the heads of the National War Labor Board, have been appealed to by both the manufacturers and the Maehinists' union to unscramble the situation arising from alleged discrim- ination against the machinists who have returned to work.
 The difficulty between the two fac tions is the outgrowth of misinterpre- tation of the Taft-Walsh Board rul- ings. The machinists claim that they are not being given the same work they had when they went on strike. The manufacturers claim it is impos- sible to give the returning strikers the same work as they have replaced ! them in many instances with women and they cannot very well turn the women out to make room for the ma chinists.
 At the Liberty Ordnance companys are without work because there is no work for them to do and the plant has to be authorized by the Ordnance De- partment before it can take them on. | This authorization is being rushed ] through by Waldo c. Bryant, chief of the District Ordnance.
 Word is expected from both Will | liam Howard Taft and Frank P. Walsh today which will put an end to all the difficulties which have arisen from the lat strike and it is assumed that within the next AS hours every
 thing will be settled to the satisfac-
 ton of all parties and that the plants
 will start on 100 per cent. production
 for the first time in many months. l The men who are awaiting the in- depreciation of the ruling do not claim
 to be on strike. They state that they
 are merely in recess" Both sides
 are willing to abide by the interpre-
 tations of the board so that little diff
 fculty in settling the vexed question
 is seen on either side.
