STEvEDORES STRIKE;
STOP LISBON TRAFFIC
(By Associated Press)


LISBON, Nov. 17.-Traffic at this
port has been almost paralyzed by a
strike of the longshoremen and steve.
dores and by workers on the state
railways. Meantime the city has beeu
given an evil appearance by a strike of
garbage-wagon drivers and street
cleaners.
Several foreign vessels were COM
PEELED to leave the harbor without dis
charging their cargoes of provisions,

country, because of the harbor strike.
Labor troubles spread also to the
crews of merchant ships and some
officers joined with the mel in quit.
ting work on board the steamers.
Pieces of machinery were removed
from boats for Transporting passengers
and provisions across the Tagus river
and the boilers of some of the smaller
craft were filled with salt water so
that when the government sent naval
forces to operate them, the boilers
would not make steam.
AS result of the state railway
strike Lisbon was threatened with a
dearth of provisions The streets were
cluttered with ill-smelling dirt heaps
and filth, owing to the strike of tho
cleaners.

due to bolshevist plot emenating

You cannot be blamed for your jeal-

means of convincing him that he
should not go with other girls would
be to go with the other man. At no
time say that you object because he
will think that you feel a claim on
him. A man loves his independence

some woman tries to alter his ideas

The man ought to marry you since
he has gone with you so long and
apparently cares for you more than

waited long enough and should go
with other men too, since the one you
love does not seem to think seriously

Curling Hair This Way
Preserves Its Beauty

That dull, dead appearance Of the
hair no longer troubles the woman
who has adopted the silmerine method
of keeping her tresses in curl The
result is very different from that pro-
duced by the drying, devitalizing way
ing iron. The hair appears more nat
urally wavy and curly, and the appli-
cation is really beneficial to the life
and growth of the hair.
Any druggist, of course, can supply
the liquid silmerine. A small quantity
should be put on just before doing up
the hair. using for the purpose a clean
tooth brush, drawing this down the full
length of the hair from root to tip.
The effect is delightfully."- surprising,
and there is no disco1oration, no stick
mess, greasiness, nor any other I'M
pleasant. accompaniment. The hair is
quite manageable, no matter how it

EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Hl.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the u. S. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larry for a time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

On the night before Caesars assassi-

from many wounds and the Romans

purple stream. She begged Caesar not

refused to stay away lest the sena-
