Boston, April 2s.-Increase in the

in agitation among walters and
mattresses for higher wages, it has
developed at union meetings at which

reasons for the demand is the fact
that the tips, workers said they were

than the ailment for which it was
taken.

would do, and vet leave none of its evil
effects perfected DIR. Thacher's Liver S

each wear since has added to the conf
1ence of those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga
Tenn, tried calomel. She was suffer-
ing with very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomel failed she tried DR.. Thach-

better after taking three doses and she
soon got entirely well. 81 think DR..

does. General aching, headaches
backache, often a chill. There is
fever in some cases, frequently the

cases of influenza show no further
symptoms than those of an ordinary
cold. Sometimes the ''ache" is worse
than in a cold.
! Anyone who feels chilly, feverish,

Don't worry about catching" any
thing.
I Keep your feet dry and warm and
your head cool.
If you need a laxative, take it.
Don't over-eat.
Sleep nine hours In room by

Don't cough or sneeze at anybody.
When you expectOrate, spit in a

George Sisler gives every indica-
ton Of being one of the big stars of
base ball again this year. perhaps
bigger and brighter than ever before.
He was one Of the leading hitters in
the American League last season,
though he did not seriously threaten
to finish at the head Of the list. At
the present time sisler is batting bet
ter than either Cobb or Speaker, the
kingpins of swat in the American
League. and he is leading the organ
ization in stealing bases. At the
same time he continues to play bril-
liantly in the field. The latest figures
show sisler above the $50 mark in
batting. Sister has done no pitching
this year. but can fill in Acceptably
any time that he may be needed.
