Temporizing with Rheumatism
by the use OF liniments, lotions

an enemy to let up in his attacks,
and permit YOU TO conquer HIM

this consideration. The tiny little
germs flock together by the
millions and center their attack
with undivided force. The effects
OF the disease are gradual in tax

the pains are only slight at first
and do not attract your serious
attention, but they gradually in

you have a real fight on your
hands, for you will find that Rheu-
matism is = foe that knows just
how to cripple you. The pains that
were hardly noticeable at first be-

and seem to take delight in your

OF course, if this painful disease

scended a preciEitous fight OF stairs.

these classifications must be opened

and the label pasted on the bundle.
There is work in the department now
for three days in advance with the
force working from O'Clock in the
morning to 1890 in the evening.

HUGHES WARNS
OF LABOR PANIC
Declares Action Must Be
Taken at Once to
Avert Trouble.

New York Nov. S0-A warning that
the United States Is facing serious
labor conditions and that every effort
should be made at once TO meet them
was voiced here tonight by Charles
r. Hughes in an address before the
Institute OF Arts and Sciences at Co
lumbia University.
The former United States Supreme
Court justice said opposition to the
right Of collective bargaining on the
part OF employees is futile. In taking
a stand against the continuation of
government ownership he declared:
1t is regrettable but il rs true
that government enterprise tends con-
stantly to inefficiency."
Continuing. he said il would be uH-
safe TO take the experience OF the
last year as guide as the splendid
stimulus OF the war spirit put the ma
tion at its best.
II do not mean TO imply" he ssid,
that the record OF private enterpI Use
is an agreeable one. but on n fair eN
amina ton of conditions where gov
ernmental management has been
maintained I believe that from the
standpoint of efficiency the compari-
son favors private enterprises, and
that in this country We cannot afford
TO ignore the fact that inefticiency is
the blight upon our public undertsk-
ings"
In speaking OF labor conditions, Mr..
Hughes said:
The indica tons are that We are
facing serious labor conditions. II
has seemed 10 me that at this time
1t would be well to have a quick sur
vey OF all the important public work
in the various States and municipali-
ties which has been held up during
the war. and that intelligent effort
should be made TO set ii going as
rapidly as possible TO take Up the
labor slack. The question Of the dis
tributiOn OF labor and the prevention

resort we had just left 1t was pro-

rooms we found fan-tan, Chinese lot

In the same neighborhood were a
number of buildings devoted to un-
lawful purposes. Washington's Bow
ery is now little more than sinful
memory due to the prohibition of the
sale of intoxicating liquors and the
vigilance of the police. II still is a
distinctive locality, being the very
heart OF washington's Chinatown.

sane Fourth of July and Christmas
edicts forbade the explosion OF pyro-

the nights of those holidays. and the

when the officer led the way through

was a woman who apparently had
once been quite pretty. but her fea-
