some of the operators say there are
not more than 5000 or 10000 There
are about $4,000 miners working in

Don't Continue to Suffer Be
cause of Wrong Treat
ment

If you are one of the thou
sands who are afflicted with
any form of irritating skin dis
ease, verify you know what
real torture is. You know well
enough what it means to lay
awake at night, rubbing and
scratching your raw and irri-
tated skin, in a vain endeavor
to get relief from the fiery
burning.
OF course, the most serious
phase of skin disease is the al
m st unbearable suffering
caused by the fiery itching and
irritation of the skin. In addi-
ton, the disease often causes
unsightly roughness and dis
celebration, disfiguring and
spelling the complexion, and
leaving its blighting marks in
its wake. Many beautiful
skin has been marred by these
dis orders which first appeared
as tiny red pimples.
At last science has deter
mined the real source of all
skin diseases, and with this en-
lightenment comes the reason
why the prevailing treatment

ABLAZE WITH
FIERY ITCHINGS?

ties in the blood cause millions
of tiny disease germs to set up
their attack on the surface of
the skin, and in the form of
pimples, boils, scaly eruptions
and itchy, burning Invitations,
begin their disfiguring and de-
structive work.
Being in the blood, these dis
ease germs can be reached only
through the blood, and local
applications have no effect
whatever. That is why salves,
ointments, lotions, washes and
other remedies applied to the
skin can do no more than give
merely temporary relief. Soon
the fiery itching breaks out
again, for such treatment can
! not reach the source of the
trouble.
If you want genuine relief
from the tortures of skin dis
eases, lose no time in discarding
all local remedies and begin
taking S. S. S. today. You will
be delighted with the results,
and when you are thoroughly
rid of your trouble you will
praise the day you got on the
right treatment. You can get
S. S. S. at any drug store. Be-
gin taking it today, and if you

gladly give you full instruc-
tions about your own case. Ad-

go You demand a 50 per cent increase
in wage scale, time and one half for
overtime and double time for legal holi-

Generalization and prostration of the

agreement by the Unittd Mine Workers

plication of penalty clauses applying
both to operators and to miners and

contingent to the government approval
of our Washington agreement. is an
outgrowth of the inability of union Of

lation of their orders and of contract
obligations. The provision has been
effective and present conditions of I'M
rest and radicalism make such policing
power in the hands of the responsible
officials of the contracting parties
more than ever imperative. Such pen

SIBERIAN BABIES GET
RED CROSS SUPPLIES
Shipment of Safety Pins, Talcum
Powder and Other Materials
Sent From America.

To help Siberian mothers clothe and
care for their babies, the American
Red Cross has just sent to Vladivos-
tok shipment of infant shirts, toilet
soap, talcum powder and similar ne
cessities The clothing material, val
ued at s106,437. had been purchased
originally for the making Of layettes
by the women of Red Cross chapters
throughout the country.
Speaking of the great need for these
supplies in Russia. Maj. Kendall Emer-
son of the American Red Cross COM
mission to Siberia, now in this coun-
try, said: There are no sewing mate
rails in Siberia and very little SOAP
or talcum powder. The mother cam
not make clothes for her baby. She
can't get the thread and other mate
rails The high death rate among in
fants is not to be wondered at in view
of the terrible living conditions. The
modern American mother cannot re-
aliZe the distressing handicap under
which the mothers of Siberia labor in
caring for their little ones"
The shipment included the follow
ing; 230,S6S infants shirts, 1lO.712
cakes of toilet soap, 1866 cans of
talcum powder, 3,306.672 safety pins,
272.170 yards Of tape. 1O3,104 thimbIes
and 53,064 spools of thread.

Siberia by the American Red Cross
were adhesive plaster and medical
supplies costing $15,355; ten White
two-ton trucks and one two-and-a-
half-ton Packard truck. together with
typewriters and stationery. costing in
all S44,719.
