Carey, has put into operation in 157
places in the city.
Englehart has filled a score of
burnt-out light bulbs with carbon

to throw the sawdust out, he said,
because he had discovered it could
be used over and over again.
The modern building next door,
had ribbons of paper hanging from
the side Of it's elevator shaft and
puddles Of oil in the elevator shaft.
Survey Is Praised
Chief Carey, in discussing this
survey, today said:
ut is the most educational piece
of fire prevention work ever done
in the city. A sustained public in
terest in the prevention of fires is
the only thing that can prevent dis
astrous fires. We can issue orders
against a building owner today and
the condition will be remedied for
a short time-then it's just as bad
as ever"
Carey is sending this series of ar
ticles to fire prevention heads in
other cities, to show how Indian

fire menace.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bowels-there's
no need of having a sallcw COM
plexion-dark rings under your eyes
-pimples-a bilious look in your
face-dull eyes with no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR., Edwards, a well-known physi-
clan in Ohio, perfected a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil as a
substitute for calomel to act on the
liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are
gentle in their action yet always
effective. They bring about that
natural buoyancy which all should
enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.

SILK WORKERS OF

.232 WAGE SLASH

EASTERN, Pa, March 14.-Deter-
mined to resist the policy Of whole
sale wage slashes instituted in De-
cember, employees Of the Stewart
Silk Company have gone out on
strike.
The outcome Of their struggle will
affect the six or seven thousand
workers employed in the silk mills
here who have all suffered wage cuts
ranging from l3 to 23 per cent since
December.
Misguided by the propaganda Of
the employers, the silk workers have
consistently refused to affiliate
themselves with the silk workers
union. The Associated Silk Work
ers of America, however, is conduct
ing a strenuous campaign to organ
ize the strikers. Company papers
have carried stories about foreign
ers and red agitators" and have thus
far succeeded in keeping the silk
workers from joining the union.

Of the boss that wages would be

not been made, and now to crown it
