Prohibition is responsible for a
good share of the change. Working

TRIES TO GIVE , FACTORY TO MEN
 TO AVERT STRIKE
Offers Men All His Profits and They Will Not
 Accept.

New York, Sept. 2O-when the em- pIoyes of Goldsmith, Stern & Co.,, largest manufacturers of jeweIry in the United States, announced that they intend to go on strike for a 25 per cent. raise and a 39 hour week, August Goldsmith, head of the con- cern, said he couldn't grant their de- mand, but that he would give them the factory.
 Not only, Goldsmith said yesterday, did he offer to turn over the factory for them to run for the workers own profit, but he offered to help them in the management of it, without pay, for six months But the workers turned down this proposal They said 1t was too big for them and that they would rather have the 25 per cent. increase.
 Goldsmith said yesterday he could give them the factory, but he couldn't possibly let them have the wage ad- vance, because the firm was making only 10 per cent. profit now. This small margin, he said. was due to the large amount he paid out in wages.
 Just for the sake of keeping peace" he said, q offered to sacrifice this profit of 10 per cent. and add it to the wage of my wOrkmen, leaving the company absolutely nothing in profits. The workmen couldn't see this and decided to strike.
 Life is too short to be continually worried about business. I have told my workmen I do not intend to bar gain with them any further The matter now rests entirely in their hands"

IS YOUR CHILD
 UNDER WEIGHT?
Mothers May Secure Important Facts Free.

Growing children should be up to a certain standard of weight. Roughly speaking, they should weigh as many pounds as they are inches tall until they are about six years old. After that the weight of the child should increase in a certain proportion to its height.
 A detailed table showing the prop CT weight for children will be sent free of charge to any mother who will write to Father Johns Medicine, Lowell, Mass, requesting this infor- nation. This offer is made in order that mothers may realize the value of Father Johns Medicine as tonic desh-builder for their children.
 Thousands of mothers use 1t regu- larly in their homes and find that their children gain weight steadily while taking this old-fashioned, fam fly medicine. If your child is under weight, he is in serious danger. Do not take chances. Begin giving Father Johu's Medicine at once.
 Remember 1t Is safe for children because 1t does not contain alcohol or dangerous drugs, It has history of more than 60 years of success.
