BONUS VOTE SET
FOR THURSDAY AND
PASSAGE CERTAIN
Amendments and Motions to Recon-.
init VIII Be Shut Out Under Sus.
pension Of Rules-Passing Of
Bill Almost Certain.

Washington, March %. - Speaker
Frederick H. Gillett consented Tues
day to permit the compromise SOL
diers bonus bill to be taken up in the
house Thursday under a suspension Of
the rules. 1t is the plan to have the
final vote before adjournment that
day, after four hours Of general de-
bate divided equally between oppon-
ents and proponents.
A two-thirds majority is necessary
to pass the bill under this procedure,
but those in charge Of the legislation
predicted that they would have votes
to spare. By this method the major
ity will succeed not only in shutting
out all amendments, but also in pre-
venting Democrats from offering a
motion to recommit the bill.
The parliamentary plan for han
ding the measure was decided on at
a five-minute conference Tuesday be-
tween Mr.. Gillett and Chairman Camp
bell Of the rules committee. On leav-
ing the speakers office, Mr.. Campbell
announced that his committee would
meet this morning to draf rule max
ing Thursday suspension day and in
creasing the time for debeate under
the suspension from the usual 40 min
uater to four hours.
The special rule will be presented
Immediately after the house con-
venes Thursday, Mr.. Campbell said
but whether any debate on it will be
permitted has not yet been determined
The chairman might cut off discussion
by moving the previous question after
explaining the rule. A majority vote
only will be required to adopt the
rule, which Democratic leaders said
would be opposed almost solIdly by
their side

AMERICAN WOMEN
ARE CARELESS.

Women are too apt to overestimate
their strength and overtax it. When
feeling well they take unnecessary
chances, which in the long run cause
much pain and trouble. Wet feet, ex-
posture to cold lifting heavy brudens
and overwork will often develop
troubles which cause no end of suf-
fering Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the unfailing remedy in
such cases. Thousands Of American
women will testify to this fact who
have regained health and strength by
its use. II you are suffering 1t will
pay you to give It fair trial.

EMPLOYMENT
STATE IMPROVES
Principal Increase Shown in
Miners Employed During
Month Of November.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec.
11.-Employment in West Viz
gtnIa during last month was on
an Gptrend according to the ana
lysis of the United States Depart
ment Of Labor. received here this
morning. a.5
Several hundred coal mines
throughout the state showed an
encouraging increase in employ
ment over October, the report
says, and further advances are be-
ing hindered by the car shortage.
A decided increase in employment
was shown in the iron and steel,
lumber, textile and miscellaneous
industries. Stone. clay and glass
products disclosed small do
crease In workers due to labor
controversy.
Charleston's employment situa-
tion was reported fair. All but
three plants were running full
time. Straight increases obtained
in food and kindred products and
paper and printing.
Employment conditions In
Huntington were generally bet
ter with the exception Of the iron
and steel industry In which 113
employees were released. Marked
increases in forces Of textile, lum-
Der, stone, clay and glass indus
ties obtained. Food products
were maintaining normal employ
ment.
In wheeling a shortage of
skilled labor, particularly, In iron
and steel, was apparent. Practi-
cally, all skilled labor was employ
ed, and all iron and steel mills
and toundrles registered a mark
ed Improvement in employment.
Slight increases prevailed In lum-
Der, paper and printing, metal
products, tobacco and miscellane-
Gus industries. Two potteries
closed down through labor con-
troyersyp. Demand for skilled
labor in the building trades was
easing up although construction
work remained good. A glass
plant was closed for liquidation.
Employment in Parkersburg
was very satisfactory, according
to the Labor Department. The
construction OF a large steel
foundry and other Building under
way were employing many skilled
craftsmen. Encouraging addt-
tions were made to forces in tex.
tiles and stone and the clay and
glass industries.
General employment In Fair
mont was slightly better: employ
ment4in the textile industry was
doubled, and there was a decided
increase of workers in lumber.
A slight decrease was noted in
iron and steel industries. q,
Practically all plants in Key
ser and Piedmont were running
full time. Worsted. mills were
working over time. A silk mill
resumed operations after several
months shut down.

FIGHT THE SCALE

Now is the time Of year to fight
the scale that is playing havoc with
fruit trees. Everyone who has an
apple tree, peach tree, a plum, a
pear, or cherry tree, or a currant
or ounce bush should examine it
carefully right away for signs Of dis
ease. II dead limbs are found on the
trees, or if limbs look dry and are
covered with a grayish substance
which resemble ashes busted on the
bark, action should be taken at once.
II much Of the tree is lead or gray
looking, it should be cut and burned
at once in order to protect the other
trees.
The fruit trees of east Berea are
suffering badly from scale. Almost
every group of trees is affected. I'm
less everybody fights the disease at
)nce serious results will follow.
Wind and birds scatter the scale from
tree to tree and from orchard to
orchard. 1t has already gone from
infected trees to almost every orchard
lot in the eastern part Of the town.
Prompt spraying is the only safe
remedy.
If everybody will spray ever tree
on his place, and cut and burn every
badly infected tree, it can be con-
trolled. This should be done at once.
This is a case where every family
who possesses a fruit tree should
work with every other family in
stamping out this killing disease.
