FTUit-a-fiVeS,
The Famous Fruit Medicine
De Nova, CoLoRADo.


/ have just come here from Van
couver, B. c., and have been taking
your wonderful fruit medicine, "Ffuit-a-
tioes" for two years. No other medi-
cine answered my requirements like
yours.
Nine years ago, L was in an accident
and the lower portion of my bowels
are paralyzed; therefore, need a
medicine that does not lose its effect,
and / have been absolutely satisfied
with "Fruit-a-tives" since I began
taking them"
Mrs. c. c. REMINGTON.
Now, you might think thar any
medicine which is strong enough to
move the bowels when they are para
lyzed, would be too powerful to be
used by a person suffering with
ordinary Constipation. Yet ''Fruit-a-
tives" is regularly taken by children,
young boys and girls, men and women
of all ages, without pain, gripping or
other ili-efectS. Because "Fruit-a-
tives" is a genuine fruit medicine, made
from the juices of t7uif, and gains its
peculiar power to cure Constipation
because of this fact.

REVOLVING DOORS

Yesterday we were pursued by a
revolving door. When we stopped TO
argue with it. it caught ap with US
and bit us on the heel. So we kept
on trotting.
We intend to move TO Cuba some
day. where it is warm and they don't
have revolving doors. only swinging
doors. We have had an animus to-
wards revolving doors ever since we
got lost in one at Wanamaker's az
the rush hour. Since then we have had
an inherent dislike for merry-go-
rounds and squirrel cages.
We enter a revolving door with the
best intentions in the world Of getting
it over quickly; and then a messenger
boy or someone in a hurry shoots
through II like a Prohibition Amend
ment and sends il spinning around
past the opening three or four times
before we find where the opening is.
There had been young lady in the
section just in front of US, whom we
were escorting somewhere, and we
run around three or four times inside
the door looking for her, till we de-
eide the young lady in question is out
Of the question. Then we lay our
plans to escape. There is stout lady
in the compartment just in front Of
us by now, who has gone around sew
eral times herself and we make up our
mind that when she goes we follow
her. so 70 speak, out.
When We make the break. the thing
takes off our rubbers and eur unbre-
la unties our shoestring. Then we
discover we're still out in the street
where We started.

YEAST CAKES LEAD
TO FINDING STILLS
Police Officers Raid Home of
Chas. Beiisle, So. Wood
stock, and Seize Liquor

Buying yeast cakes, at least in any
appreciate quantities, is going to be
productive of suspicious that one IS
operating home brewing outfit or the
like, if the latest achievement of state,
federal and local officers may be lik-
ened tn the handwriting on the wall.
For it was buying yeast IN quantity
that drew the attention of the police
to the home of Charles Belisle, Just
over the Putnam line, in South Wood
stock, aud on their visit there late
Friday afternoon they discovered not
only a big supply of yeast, but TIVE
perfectly good stills and "a quart bot
ties of moonshine whiskey, otherwise
known as white mule"
u. S. Prohibition Officer NJ. Cong
don. County Investigator William
jackson, State Policeman Briggs, and
Captain of Police Delage comprised
the official party that swooped down
on the Belisle home, and armed with
a search warrant. examined almost ev-
cry corner of the place. The moon
shine was found in the cellar, all bot
tied and packed, apparently ready Tor
shipment somewhere.
Heighborhood Becomes Suspeious
That the Belisles were extensive
purchasers of yeast cakes was an es-
tabhshed fact in the neighborhcod,
cue man residing close by going to the
place one evening recently for yeast
cake he had forgotten TO bring home
at his wife's request, knowing before
ne started that he could obtain what
he wanted because the Belisles always
had a good supply on hand. That the
yeast was not bought with an idea Of
eating il for the vitamines it contain
ed, which is one of the present day
fads, was a suspicion entertained gen
orally in the neighborhood. so people
were not surprised upon learning OF
what the authorities found when they
visited the Belisle home.
Mr.. Belisle was ordered to appear
before United States Commissioner
Mathewson Of Norwich and tell him
something concerning the stills and
moonshine the officers found in his
home.

COMPETITION REAL

Analysis of New England Wage
Troubles By Prominent
Cotton Manufactures

\ New England cotton manufac-
tarer of long experience in wage mat
tiers in New England said of the stu
alton in that section last Saturday
The end of wartime Bolshevism
among New England mill workers is
being seen in the present troubles. and
when they are finally settled, as they
must be in the wet mill men are out
lining them, prodpction will be stead
Ter, larger and on n better competitive
bass.
During the war there was an over.

ionism in several eeuters where union

The strikers in the Pawtuxet Valley
were not the cid stable employees of

through the laxity of police protection
and the Indifference of Rhode Island

the newspapers in that state, finding
manufacturers divided, have been CIV
ing prominence to a lot of talk by
a.iion leaders vino have never won
strike and cannot win one on the lines
tbey are now following.
If there is Htrike in any of the
nssthern mill cenaers, like Manchester
or Lewiston, 1t Is certain that police
protection will be instant and convinc-
ing and that mills will be closed until

dentand the seriousness of present
market conditions for goods
Il know that FsE River and New
Bedford mills would have reduced be
fore now if extraneous matters had
not ente to eomplicate the action
on the purely business proposition of
getting costs down to competitive
basis. Tariff politics has becn mixed
up with the wage question and the
proponents OF high tariffs and Ameri-
can valuations are playing with the
union leaders and with the latent pub
lie opinion that never favors lower
wages until they are actually forced
by long waiting and continued shrink
age in mill reserves.
We refused for a long time TO
meet the wishes of selling agents here
by making low prices on goods for fu-
ture delivery. We did not believe for
time that competition was as sharp
as we now know it 10 be. There is
only a rs per cent business to be had
at best this spring. and southern mills
are certain TO get more than a normal
share unless we meet the market as il
exists.
1.-THE condition of competition is So
real that believe you will see mills
shut down very freely if wage reduc-
tions are not accepted Orders now
on the books will certainly have to be
filled at a great loss in several instanc-
es if lower costs cannot be reached,
and mills are not likely TO take risks
of losses in these times, when taxes
are so high. and other unavoidable
overhead costs must be met out Of
capital If not out of profits.
so far as my own state is concern
ed (he operates mills in Massachu-
setts), The Journal Of Commerce new
err said anything more truthful than it
did in little note the other day to
the effect that Massachusetts, with a
AS hour day against the country, IS go
