Chamberiain's Tablets.

When you are troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation, take Chamber
lain's Tablets. They strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. Indigestion is
usually accompanied by constipation
and is aggravated by it. Chamber
lain's Tablets cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels, relieving the con-
situated condition.

"The existing wage scales, speaking

rates We're advanced during the war,
but In most irregular manner For
some workers the wage advances were
almost negligible, but for others sew
eral hundred per cent. The pay of
comparatively few, 1t appears how
ever, increased relatively as much as
did commodity prices or the cost Of
living. Thus while, on the whole, av-
erage money wages have increased
greatly in this country since 1914. the
real wages, the purchasing power of
the workers earnings. have doubtless
declined during the war. This is the

He is 30 years old. For six years he
was the head OF q special department
Of large insurance company. His
duties consisted chiefly In explaining
BY letter to policy holders and pros
poets the points Of difference between
the various kinds Of policies issued
by the company. There were many
of these policies. and there were many
knotty problems TO figure out and set
tie, Mr., A. made himself master of
this perplexing work. He took pride
and pleasure in It, His salary was
$500 year, and he was worth It and
more--to that particular company.

been with the company longer than
Mr.. A. had. Mr.. A. was deprived of
his official position, but not of his
salary. He took umbrage at what he
considered lack of recognition Of his
services, and resigned in huff. He
tried to SECURE a $4,000 position with
other insurance companies, but failed.
He had too much pride to ask the
company he had been with to take him
back. Accordingly, he became an in
surance agent. Last year he made
about S7O0 In commissions, and he
loathes the work, because he is not
adapted for it, either by training or

In looking over the books OF the

there were many members II arrears

some mistake and that there would be

stratghten up all business with the
old year and begin the new year of
1920 with a clean slate on everything.
The last memberships were taken
out for one year only and It is the
purpose OF the directors to mark all
subscriptions out at the end Ct the

Age ON MAYSvILLE

Substantial Advance on All Red
Grades Noticed on Friday-Light
Colored Weed Is In Demand,
Says Supervisor Mitchell.

Supervisor William Mitchell, OF the
Maysville looseleaf tobacco market,
announced today that during the first
week of the present season the local
market sold total of 40S,S6 pounds
of tobacco at general average Of
$43.1O, which is an advance Of $12.s5
per hundred over the weekly average
for the first week last season which
was s3O.25.
Mr.. Mitchell says good light grades
are in demand but that all grades are
selling we'll except frozen tips which
do not seem to be desired at even low
prices. The supervisor reports q
marked advance in all red grades on
Friday, the last day of the week.
He reports plenty of room at all To-
cal warehouses and advises early
marketing as the market is in the
best of condition to favor the growers
at the present time. Mr. Mitchell SAYS
he Is expecting more tobacco this
week than was delivered during last
week and says there is every reason
to believe that the price will remain
firm.

DIRECTOR GENERAL HAS RE-
MOVED FUEL RESTRICTIONS
Director General Hines Cancels All
Fuel Orders and Rail Service
WIN Soon Be Restored.

Washington, December 13.-Author-
ity was given to Regional Directors of
Railroads last night by Director Gem
eral Walker D. Hines to remove re-
strictions on the use of light, heat and
power derived from coal as soon as
the fuel situation warrants.
Regional Directors also were au-
thorized to restore train service re-
moved or curtailed to meet the coal
shortage due to the bituminous min
ers' strike as soon as the fuel supply
in the various regions justifes.
Sending out of the instructions con-
situted the first step taken by the
Government in the light Of expecta-
tion that miners would accept the
Governments strike settlement pro-
posal and return to work.
Director General Hines, in announc-
ing his action, said conditions in the
regions varied greatly and coal still
was Deing shlpped from the East to
the West, but that removal of restric-
tions might be justified shortly.
The Railroad Administration re-
ceived unofficial estimates during the
day that from 65 to 70 per cent of the
miners had gone back to work. Pri-
vate reports to operators said that in
Indiana almost all the men had re-
turned, but elsewhere delay was being
shown.
Fuel Administrator Harry A. Gar
fields resignation, sent to President
Wilson yesterday, was discussed by
White House officials today, who ex-
pressed the belief that it would be
accepted though it was not indicated
that the President had acted.

Big SUM NEEDED
BY TRANSYLvANIA.
ESTIMATES SHOW
Dr. Crossfield Estimates Immediate
Needs Of College at sss7,OOO and
Five Year Requirements
at ss.37s,OOO.

Lexington, KY, December 13.-The
immediate needs of Transylvania Col
lege, the great training school of the
Disciples of Christ, generally known
as the Christian Church, as estimated
by DR.. Richard Henry Crossfeld, its
president, total 1897 900, If 1t is to con-
tinue to do the class of work expect
ed OF 1t by the church. DR.. Crossfield
also estimates the five year needs of
the institution and it's auxiliaries,
Hamilton College and the College of
the Bible. at $2,379,O0O.
AT meeting of the representatives
Of the various colleges of this Church
throughout the entire country, which
was held at Indianapolis, December
8, these "Askings' were approved by
the Church's Board of Education.
These estimates of DR.. Crossfield
will be presented to the Interchurch
World Movement Committee by DR..
| Crossfield when 1t meets at Atlantic
City in January, when that body will
pass upon the needs of the Christian
colleges of the country, not only i'm
mediate, but for the next five years.
1t is pointed out by DR.. Crossfleld
that IL Transy)vania Is to make the
progress Of the past the college must
pay living salaries to its instructors,
and that Pennsylvania and the College
OF the Bible must have the highest
class OF instructors. The advanced
pay Of other institutions is bound in
| time to cost Transylvania some of her
most valuable men unless she is able
to pay them proper salaries. DR..
Crossfield shows that assistant pro-
fessors in other colleges, properly en-
| dowed and supported. are paid as
much as heads of departments at
Pennsylvania.
1t is probable that steps will be
taken at an early date to present the
needs Of Transylvania, which has
trained 30 per cent. of the preachers s
OF the Christian Church in Kentucky,
to the church in general, as well ais
to the alumni of Transylvania, the
College of the Bible and Hamilton
College.
