GOOD HEALTH HINTS
Oklahoma Farmer Gives Sound Ad- vice on Avoiding Sickness.- Used ack-Draught
 30 Year.

Cameron, Okla.-'I have used Thedford's Black Draught for about thirty years, and certainly ought to know by this time what a good medi- cine 1t is," says MT. T. L. Bostier, a well-known farmer of this place. MT. Bostier has passed his three-score-and- tenth year, but declares his health still is good, 'and I can say Black Draught did its part"
 Where there is lot of malaria, . liver medicine is a necessity, and have never found one better than Black -Draught," continues the Okla homan. "It is one that know to be reliable. l sure use it for the liver. stomach, constipation. indigestion. and 1t has done me world of good. We use it for the family, and 1t gives satisfaction.
 Most trouble, or sickness, comes from the liver, and if taken in time can be avoided. That is why use Black -Draught as I do. am much pleased with results obtained"
 Thedford's Black-Draught is purely vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent ly stimulating the liver, and helps in- crease the normal flow of bile into the intestines. It assists in the digestion of food, and relieves constipation in prompt and natural way.
 Ask your druggist for a package to- day. Insist on Thedford's. NC-139

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
INVOLVED IN BIG SUIT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Millions
of dollars are involved in (: suit now
being argued before the United
States supreme coure. The immedi-
ate cause at issue is the appeal Of the
La Belle Iron works from a ruling of
the internal revenue department
which involves profits tax Of ST.
os1,0oo that the company paid under
protest.
In 1904 the company bought ore
lands for 500, 100000 and in 1917 the
value Of this property increased to
$10,000,000. The government held
that this was profit and demanded
that taxes be paid as such. The COM
pany wants this increase added to
it's capital invested thereby avoiding
the payment Of taxes on increased
values.
If the company wins the govern
ment must return the $1,081,000 paid
and other concerns will make similar
claims.
Attorneys for the government de-
clare that this is 'the most important
legal suit from the standpoint Of gov
eminent finances in a decade"

VETERAN "OPEN' SHOPPER
GOES BACK TO HIS KIND

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 27.-The
widely anti-union declara-
ton by the Schooley Stationery and
Printing company is attracting little
attention among organized printing
crafts and other trade unionists in
this city. This concern conducted q
nonunion shop until about two years
ago, when it affected to recognize
unionisn. The firm employs about a
dozen craftsmen in the various trades
and about the same number of bind
cry girls. The return Of the firm to it's
kind has been expected.

back out Of the wreck and to his
former equilibrium"
Not a Middleweight.
Nichols manager is anxious to cor
rect the erroneous impression that
has reached Duluth that Nichols is a
middleweight. While Nichols has been
idle for almost two months, during
which time he has been unable to
train, he will endeavor to make 145
pounds at p. m. Feb. 10, although
the weight agreed upon is lat for
the bout with Arney
Nichols never has weighed over LAG
for any Of his bouts and when he met
Joe MCGOWAN in July last year at
Sioux City. he weigher in at 14o
pounds. Since then he has not tipped
the scales at over 1447z for any OF
his bouts.
The main event for the next show
will be a rafting good battle from
all indications and Nichols hopes tt
make a hit with Duluth fins with the
view of coming back to meet man,
other welterweight contenders.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF
TRADES ASSEMBLY TONIGHT

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Federated Trades assembly will
be held tonight (Fr1day) at Owls
hall. Considerable important business
will come before the meeting. The
delegates will take up the matter Of
going into the next municipal CAM
paign.
It is believed among union men
that the Lincoln club, which will
nominate persons for mayor and COM
missioners at g. meeting to be held
Wednesday, Feb. 2. is but the political
adjunct of the local Citizens Alli-
ance, and union men will look with
suspicion upon any person nominated
at that meeting. The course Of union
labor in the coming campaign will
depend upon what happens at the
Lincoln club meeting.

Labor Member Prevents monop.
oily From Getting Control Of
AUTO REPAIR WORK,

George o. Lockhart' Of Duluth,
labor member in the legislature from
the Fifty-eighth district, scored big
hit in the house Tuesday when he
"knocked into cooked hat the bill
providing for the licensing of garage
and motor vehicle repair shops, a
measure presented in the interest OF
the big fellows in the business to en-
able them to secure a monopoly on
garage and repair work.
A delegation of Duluth automobile
men, consisting Of Ed. Whalen. Leon
Mcnamara and Cy Olson went to St.
Paul to lobby against the bill. They
put the matter up to Mr.. 14ockhart
who at once recognized the monopo-
listic tendency Of the measure. He put
up fight against the bill, declaring
it was class legislation, detrimental
to the little fellow in the business and
un-American. He succeeded in de-
feating the bill.

CUTS IN WAGES
NOT JUSTIFIED
Living Costs Still More Than
100 Per Cent Over Prices
Obtaining In 1918.

>There is no justification for a re-
duction of wages in the United States
at this time. Prices have not come
down to any measurable extent. The
big fellows are keeping their prices
up, and reductions are only being
forced upon workers because of the
fact that many men are i6la Just now.
One Duluth concern recently an
nounced to it's employees a reduction
in it's wage scale Of Is per cent. This
firm is doing a. job upon which it
made its bid based on q wage scale
to mechanics Of one dollar an hour.
It has cut those men to IS cents an
hour.
According to the latest report Of
the United States bureau Of labor
statistics the widely-heralded reduc-
.tion in living costs averaged but 81
per cent during the period from June
to December, 1920, in 81 leading
cities.
The June, 1920, cost Of living was
the highest during the war. being
1865 per cent over December, 1913.
This 81 per cent reduction is being
used by every publicity force at the
command Of cheap-wago employers to
Justify wage decrease Of Is, 20 and.
80 per cent among the unorganized,
despite the fact that at no time dur
ing or after the war have wages per-
mitted workers 20 maintain living
standards Of 1913.
Decreases during the past six
months, averaging 81 per cent, are as
follows:
Baltimore, 81 per cent: Boston,
6.3 per cent; Buffalo. SO per cent;
Chicago, 80 per cent; Cleveland and
Norfolk, So per cent each; Detroit,
IA per cent: Houston, SO per cent;
Jacksonville and Memphis, 4.s per
cent each: Los Angeles, rs per cent;
| Mobile and Pittsburgh, sc per cent
each; New York, 81 per cent: Phila-
| delphia, 6 per cent; Portland. Me-. Z
per cent; Portland. Ore, 10 per cent;
San Francisco aid Atlanta, Sc per
cent each: Savannah. 81 per cent:
Seattle, 7.8 per cent; Washington, 81
per cent; Cincinnati, s.4 per cent;
Denver, ~ per cent; Indianapolis, S.4
per cent; Kansas City. rs per cent:
Minneapolis, 81 per cent; New Or
leans, 81 per cent; Richmond, rs per
cent; st. Louis. 81 per cent; Scran-
ton, 81 per cent.
It is significant fact that landed
interests and public utilities took no
part in these small reductions. In
stead, in every instance but one. sub
stantial increases were made during
the six months in the cost Of housing.
fuel and light.
The bureau Of labor statistics also
shows that the cost Of living in De-
cember, 1920, was 1904 per cent over
1913. This means that If. wages are
not twice those of pre-war times the
conditions Of workers are not equal
to 1913. and instead of securing better
conditions as a. result Of the war for
democracy their standards are lower
than before the war.

CARNES SECURES
JOHNNY NICHOLS
Boxing Fans May See St. Paul
We|terWe|ght Here Evening
Of February 10.

At last Duluth boxing fans are 60
ing to have a chance to see Johnny
Nichols, the much touted st. Paul
ring.
President R. J. Carnes Friday night
closed negotiations with M. T. Game,
Nichols manager, for a 10-round bout
to headline the athletic club card
Feb. 10.
Nichols has been clamoring for a
chance to show in Duluth for more
than a year. He has been eager to
climb into the ring for a match with
Bill Burns, Kid Billings, Al. Arney
or any other weller the Duluth pro-
moters could procure to meet him
and now that he has the chance, he
will come to Duluth determined to
prove that the things that have been
said Of him are true.
Fought a Draw.
Nichols has been idle for almost
two months. His last bout was in
Omaha with Kid schlaifer, the pride
of Omaha. who had won his previous
10 bouts by knockouts. The referee
and judges called the bout draw,
but every Omaha newspaper writer
| criticized the officials severely and
said that Nichols outclassed. outgen-
eraled and decisively won over the
home boy.
One account Of the Omaha bout
said in part: 1T seems this fellow
Nichols is a very hard egg and COM
pletely baffled Schlaifer in the latter's
usual program of numbering the op.
ponent during the first few vista:
of the scenery. On the contrary of be.
ing whacked for a goal, Nichols made
the evening very miserable for oul
local pride. While the referee decided
to gag to be a draw, it consisted
chiefly Of drawing the Kid up SO thai
Nichols could give him another
healthy clout.
"At one juncture Nichols smote thu
Kid so sorely that Schlaifer wen
through the ropes and fell into tn
lap Of spectator. Schlaifer wa
helped back to the slaughterhous'

declares, ''that will go down in the

out in faithful endeavor to supply
socks for the needy and by the end
of November, 1918. she had knitted
800 pairs of socks.
At one period Of the war she
knitted 335 pairs in 20 months, per-
forming a feat that has been sur
passed by no one in the British En-

There may have been people who
have knit more socks than Miss Hall,
have the stitches that she entwined
could not be seen by her and the pro-

She was painstaking, and If the work
did not suit her she would rip it out
and start anew. Her work was q

perfect in every respect, according to
