New Life for
Sick Man


II have taken only two boxes of
Eatonic and feel like a new man. It
has done me more good than anything
else" writes G. o. Frappir.
EatOnic is the modern remedy for
acid stomach, bloating, food repeating
and indigestion. It quickly takes up
and carries out the acidity and gas
and enables the stomach to digest the
food naturally. That means not only
relief from pain and discomfort but
you get the full strength from the food
you eat. Big box only costs a trihe

NJ RUL ING ON
Rail WORKERS
Board Decides They viii
eceive No Extra Pay
for Overtime.
REEMENTS GO INTO FORCE
Decisions Made Are Considered a Par
tial Victory for the Men, Though
They Have by No Means Obtained
All They Desired.

Railroad workers will receive no ex-
ira pay for overtime, but viii enjoy
the other benefits of the sO-called ma
tional working agreement, pending a
final ruling, under a temporary order
issued by the United States railroad
labor board.
The board previously had ordered
the national agreements vacated begin
ming July /. Discussion Of suggested
substitute agreements was slow, how
ever, and the prospect Of a summer
without rules Of any kind alarmed the
board. Accordingly the agreements
were allowed to stand for the time be-
ing.
Perpetuation Of the working act was
q victory for railroad labor, but the
balance was maintained by means Of
the supplementary order abolishing
overtime, an order gratifying to rail-
road arrangements.
In making its orders the board pro-
vided that railroads which have
reached individual working agreements
with their employees can put their new
pact into effect at once.
