in every city whore Dreco has been
introduced, the very best citizens
have publicly endorsed its merits,
after giving it a thorough trial. For
instance. The Rev Mr. w, NJ Sage,
the Baptist Divine residing at 1852
East Broad Street, says.
81 was broken down from my work
OF preaching, performing marriages
and conducting funerals, and the
many other duties required of the
modern minister. My stomach was
deranged and my digestion bad. Cas-
tritis was cause of much distress af-
ter eating. My kidneys also seemed
to be out of order and | was quite
nervous. Since taking three bottles

am glad to endorse the splendid me-

To those who doubt the effective
ness of Dreco, we simply ask that
they try just one bottle. If that helps
then they should continue the treat
ment; if it does not help them, stop
at once, fr one bottle is enough to
show that you are on the right track.
Is not that fair enough. Begin today

All good druggists now sell DreCo

unions consent to call off the propo sed
strike and to await the industrial con-
ference called for October 6 by Presi-

The work of Mr.. Gompers was seen
in the decision Of the United Mine
Workers convention at Cleveland to
support movement to delay the steel
workers walkout. In requesting that
the mine workers make this decision
Mr.. Gompers forwarded a letter from
President Johnson, of the Interna-
tional Machinists' Association, favor
ing postponement of the strike.
AT Federation headquarters to-day il
was said that the steel situation was
particularly delicate from labor
standpoint, in that strikes can only be
called or settled by the unions directly
involved. Labor Federation officials
have no power to take any action or

advice and assistance, and this may be
