It is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening
medicine. 1t helps the kidneys, liv-
er and bladder do the work nature
intended they should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test
of years. 1t is sold by all druggists
on its merit and it should help you.
No other kidney medicine has so
many friends.

However, if you wish first to test

ductors in progress since December
II. Trainmen, as we'll as guards,
are being employed by the federal
authorities and assigned to duty as
rapidly as they can be sworn in. All
are armed.
The action of Judge POLLOCK was
taken on all intervening petition of
the Kansas City (Kan) Chamber OF
Commerce in an injunction suit OF
the street railway company against
the strikers, asking protection OF
property. .,
In Kansas City. Mo, there was
no change in the strike situation.

II have no such information" re-
piled Attorney Webster for the COM
pany.
Are the men represented" in
CURED Mr.. Taft
Il hold a brief of grievances in
my hand" replied Jerry Burnett for
the union men.
Mr.. Burnett handed copies to the
chairmen and to the representatives
of the company.
The foreword reads:
The following is a brief state
ment of the conditions under which
the members of local division No.
S07 have been working for the last
few months, and which finally
forced the men to take action to
protect themselves against further
discrimination, loss of rights and
stop still further abuses. These
statements tell the story of utter
disregard of every consideration that
marks the distinction between serfs
and freemen."
Abstract of Grievances.
An abstract of the grievances
follows:
Dissatisfaction with Interpretation
of the examiners, that runs should
be figured from night to morning,
whereas men started their days
work and signed up in the morning;
that $4.25 could be paid for r.
hour day was not agreeable.
Individual complaints ignored by
the company, and petitions and ap-
peals received scant attention.
A letter received from the COM
pany which closed the door to ne
gotiations entirely for the union or
its committee.
Discrimination against union prac-
ticed by company.
Alleged that drafted man lost his
priority rights.
Union bridgeman discharged.
Two car washers who received
$4.25 per day before strike are now
paid IS cents less per day.
Superintendent Findlay of con-
struction alleged to have said that
company did not want union men.
Persistent abuse of men.
Requiring night watchmen at
shops to work twelve hours a day,
seven days per week for $95 per
month.
Excessive strain on long runs.
Impossible to show actual condi-
tons.
No Effort For Remedy.
The conclusion of the Garments
bill of particulars reads:
In concluding this statement we
would again point out that although
it is true that the company has met
with our committee, they have never
treated with them ard have made
no effort to remedy conditions and
grievances complained of. Modern
conditions would appear to demand
perfect cooperation between en-
ployes and owners of street rail-
ways, and that much-to- desired
condition can only be brought abou,
through feeling of confidence that
the interests of both sides are being
protected. Frank discussions Of
problems between equals who recog,
nize each others rights is the only
basis of justice. This is bet demon.
trated today in the method of col
lective bargaining between employ.
ers and employees through trade
unions. No other plan offers any
real solution of the problem"

DROPSY TREATED FREE
BY DIR. Miles, the Great Specialist, Who
Sends S3.75 Trial Treatment Free.
Many Report Cured After Doctors Failed

At first no disease is apparently more
harmless than dropsy; little swelling of
the eyelids, hands, feet. ankles or abdo-
men. Finally great shortness of breath,
,ough. faint spells, sometimes nausea and
somiting. and a lingering and wretched
Heath if the dropsy is not cured.
DR.. Miles has been known as leading
specialist in these diseases for 80 years.
His liberal offer of 1915 Treatment free
o all sufferers is certainly worthy of Sc
tious consideration. You may never have
such an opportunity again.
The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists of
four dropsy remedies in one, also Tonic
Tablets and Pura-Laxa for removing the
water. This treatment is specially pre-
scribed for each patient and is three times
as successful as that of most physicians.
1t usually relieves the first day. and re-
moves swelling in six days'ih most cases.
Delay is dangerous.

Taft Reads Telegram.
For the purpose OF explaining
what we are here for, we will read
telegram sent by this board to the
mayor, street railway company and
to the employees on December H."
announced Chairman Taft. He then
read the following:
The appeal of the empoyes from
the ruling OF our examiners is now in
our hands, In our judgment the
men, by going out on a strike, have
Woated the rules of the board and
are not entitled to have their appeal
passed on until they go back to
work.
We are advised by our examin-
erS that the spirit of both parties
is subject to criticism and that had
there been accommodation on both
sides an attempt to carry out the
award, the trouble might have been
averted. The examiners advise us
that the action of the men is in their
Judgment an effort to secure re-
hearing of the original award rather
than Tor the construction of the
actual award. OF course we are most
anxious to secure peace and justice
in accord with the award or by
modification of it that ought to be
made. but we cannot take any steps
in this direction until peace is re-
stored and the men go back to
work
III the men will go back to work,
the Joint Chairmen, William H.
Taft and Basil NJ. Many will come
to Omaha and be there on the Sec
oned of January to hear both the
appeal and a petition for rehearing
of the provisions of the award which
seem now to be in controversy in
view of the ugly situation.
1T is necessary that both parties
should show the utmost fairness in
the restoration of the status quo
until the hearing can be had and
therefore the men should be re-
stored in the utmost good faith. all
OF them to the places which they
have left and they should 60 back
and in the utmost good faith fulfill
their duties under the present ar
rangement, awaiting the action of
the arbitrators upon the appraisal
and rehearing, and seeking no
change until that hearing results in
a decision, which will be promptly
rendered and if possible before the
arbitrator leave Omaha.
1--WE send this dispatch to the
mayor, the company and the men;
we have had a conference with
President Mahon OF the union and
he has advised us that he has tele-
graphed the men to accept these
conditions of the further hearing by
the arbitra'ors of the award"

Weddings in China

The increasing influence of West
ern civilization upon the Chinese
people is particularly noticeable in
functions which concern their home
life.
A few years ago a bride would
have been carried in a closed chair
to the home of her future husband,
and together they would have done
honor to his ancestral tablets as a
sign of her admission to his family.
A feast would follow, but in accord
ance with Chinese ideas she would
have been rigidly excluded from
this Nowadays. even in Chinese
families where Christianity has not
been accepted, the wedding cere-
mony n conducted upon Western
lines, with best man. q relative, to
give away the bride, bridesmaids.
and the utmost pomp and publicity.
Several weddings of recent years
have been celebrated on these lines
the brides wearing Western gowns
with long trains, wells, and wreaths
or orange blossoms.
