    A SIMPLE FORMULA
THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL.
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
PRESCRIPTION OF AN EMINENT
SPECIALIST IS GIVEN.
Necessary Ingredients Cost Little
and Can Be Secured at Any Good
Drug Store Will Break a
Cold Quickly.
Mix half ounce of tho Pure Virgin
Oil of Pine with two ounces of glycer
ine and half a pint of good whisky;
shake well and use In teaspoonful
doses. A noted authority on diseases
of the throat and lungs who estab
lished a camp for consumptives in the
pine woods of Maine, declares that
the above formula will heal the lungs
and euro any cough that is curable.
It will break up a cold in twenty-four
hours. The ingredients can be se
cured from any good prescription
druggist at small cost.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in half-ounce vials for dispen
sing; each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case with engraved
wrapper, showing the name Virgin
Oil of Pine (Pure) prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank imitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are put out
under various names, such as Concen
trated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc.
Never accept these as a substitute for
the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they
will invariably produce nausea and
never effect the desired result.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is also
said to be a perfect neutralizing agent
for uric acid.
American Idealism.
Since my first arrival in America 1
have held that tho real spirit Is ideal
istic and that 'the average individual
American Is controlled by idealistic
Impulses. Those who may contradict
me cau not have sounded the depths
..of' the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the loftiest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him a far-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight of the
keenest statesmen and thinkers of hie
age Baron Speck von Sternburg, In
Forum.
8CALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless Suf
fered 10 Years Completely
Cured by Cuticura.
"When I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. I scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
I could scarcely walk. When I had
been Buffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been.. From that time on
ward I was troubled by such severe
itching that, until I became accus
tomed to it, I would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom
pany them. After I suffered about
twi years I made a renewed effort to
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part' of
my, body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. I then used to
bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad
ditlon I used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve,
Salve, Ointment, and in fact I
was continually giving some remedy
a fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and I was rapidly
becoming bald. I used 's
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes I was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf
fering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $60 In vainly endeavoring to
find a cure. I shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Ver-
million, S. Dak., Aug. 18, 1906."
Destructive Yellow River.
Thousands of men work all their
Urea at securing the banks of the
great Yellow river in China. Yet
every now and then the tide sweeps
away all opposition and the loss in
human life is greater than any war
ever caused. Nineteen years ago the
river burst its bonds. Day after day
the torrent flowed, 20 miles to the
hour, 30 miles wide and ten feet deep.
The flood has been described as that
of five Danubes pouring from a height
for two months on end. For 2,000
years the Chinese have been embank
Ing this river.
Convict's Peculiar Claim.
A life convict In the Andamans had
served some long period when an or
der recently came for his release. All
the time he had been in the band, an
had evidently so far forgotten that he
was a prisoner tht-t on his release he
put in a claim for a pension on ac
count of his long and faithful service
as a government servant. Madras

Will Open Up Immense Area of Free
Homestead Lands.
The railway facilities of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx of settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith
standing the increased railway facil
ities that have been placed at the dis
posal of the public, the question of
transportation has proved to be a se
rious one.
It will, therefore, be good news to
everyone Interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by C.
M. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail
way will do its share towards moving
the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water,
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr. Hays, who
has just completed a trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton in a prai
rie schooner, a distance of 735 miles,
hich was covered in eighteen days,
is enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West, even if Mr. Hays
declines to be bound to a time limit
with the exactitude of a stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
In a position to take part in the trans
portation of the crop of 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is garnered.
The wheat crop of 1908 in Western
Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels,
and, with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put un
der crop next year, it is safely calcu
lated that fully 125,000,000 bushels will
bo harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are, therefore, apparent, and the state
ment made by Mr. Hays will bring en
couragement to the farmers of the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up of additional thousands of
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
where.
Long Sight.
The longest distance ever com
passed by human vision is 183 miles,
being the distance between the Un
comparghe park, in Colorado, and
Mount Ellen. In Utah. This feat was
accomplished by the surveyors of the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey, who were engaged, in conjunc
tion with representatives of other na
tions, in making a new measurement
of the earth.

THE FIR8T TWINGE
Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills If You Would Be
Easily Cured.
Mr. Frank Little, a well known citi
zen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was
cured of a severe case of rheumatism
by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. In speak
ing about it recently, he said: "My
body was run down and in no condi
tion to withstand disease and about
five years ago I began to feel rheu
matic pains- In my arms and across
my back. " My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint so that I could
hardly move, while my arms were
useless at times. I was unable to
sleep or rest well and my heart -pained
me so terribly I could hardly stand
it. My stomach became sour, and
bloated after eating and this grew
so bad that I had inflammation of
the stomach. I was extremely nerv
ous and could not bear the least
noise or excitement. One whole side
of my body became paralyzed. .
"As I said before, I had been suff
ering about five years and seemed to
be able to get no relief from my
doctors, when a friend here in Port
land told me how Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills had cured him of neuralgia in
the face, even after the pain bad
drawn it to one side. I decided to
try the pills and began to see some
improvement soon after using them.
This encouraged me to keep on until
I was entirely cured. I have never
had a return of the rheumatism or of
the paralysis.,
The pills are for sale by all drug
gists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of
price, SO cents per box, six boxes

Do Not Want the LaFollette Bill En
acted Into Law.
A delegation of railroad men visited
the legislature the first of the week
for the purpose of asking the legisla
ture to memorialize the Nebraska con
gressmen and express opposition to
the LaFollette bill to regulate the
hours of employment of railroad men.
With the technical objections to the
proposed law The Wageworker has no
acquaintance. But if the railroad men
are quoted right, in the daily newspa
pers they base their objections upon
one untenable ground. One objection
is that it is likely to increase the
number of train crews ,thus reducing
the number of miles run and thereby
reducing the compensation.
That is the chief reason for demand
ing tht shorter workday that more
men may be given employment.
Skilled craftsmen are not demanding
the short work day for wholly selfish
reasons. Under the stress of modern
commercialism there is a growing sur
plus of labor under ordinary condi
tions. In order to provide for the man
out of work the men at work demand
a shorter day for themselves. Thus
if ten men in a shop work ten hours a
day, it will require eleven men do do
the work in nine hours. And enforc
ing the nine hour day means steady
employment for one more man. , The
railroad men ought to get in line with
more enterprising unionists and do a
brothers share in looking after the
interests of the man without a job.
ir the railroad men really want to
make more money they ought to de-
I mand more for their work. Engineers,
for instance, are rendering today 300
per cent more service than they rend
ered ten years ago, and yet we are
informed that they imagine they Slave
achieved something big when they re
cently secured a 10 per cent increase
in wages. If they were getting theii
just proportion of the increased pros
perity and their share of the increased
efficiency, they would be getting dou
ble the pay they are getting now.
A CLERICAL JOKER.
Rev. Luther P. Ludden is a great
joker. He is also secretary of the Ne
braska State Poultry association. The
Wageworker acknowledges the receipt
of an invitation to attend the aniyual
exhibit in progress at the auditorium
this week.- The invitation is good for
admission too. But it is distinctly
stated on the invitation that "this is
not a pass." It is a "guest's ticket." I
that isn't a good take-off on the pres
ent fad of anti-pass we are mistaken.
The Wageworker extends its thanks
to Secretary Ludden, and assures him
that it appreciates both the invitation
and the joke.
THIS SEEMS THE LIMIT.
Richmond, Va., aJn. 13. One hun
dred plasterei'3 employed on the con
struction work of the Jamestown ex
position have made good their threat
to strike and declare that they will not
return to work tomorrow unless theii
demands are complied with. Their ob
jection is going to the offices of the
contractors to get their money once a
week, and they wish it brought to
them while they work. They also ask
an increase of pay of from five to six
dollars a day. The contractors think
the difficulty will be adjusted without
serious delay.
THE PLUMBERS.
Smelling Committee Is Keeping Busy
These Cold Days.
The "smelling committee" appointed
by the local union of plumbers is
quietly looking up the "scab" work
that is being done and which will not
stand the sanitary tests demanded by
the city. A lot bf the work put in by
apprentices and Incompetent "scabs"
has been found very bad, and it will
be reported to the authorities.
Harry Burstall, who was an active
worker in the ranks of union plumb
ers of Omaha, died recently.
St. Louis Master Plumbers' asso
ciation which took a hostile position
against union labor, has gone to pieces.
The fight of the journeymen and in
ternal dissension did the work.
CIGARMAKERS ON STRIKE.
The cigarmakers of York, Pa., on
September 4, struck for an increase of
10 per cent, on all hand work at the
factory of Celestino Costello Co. The
general average wage of men per week
was $9.50. The increase, if granted,
would mean to the man an increase of
95 cents per week. The selling price
of these cigars range from $52 to $65
per 1,000. So 180 men, 140 unorganized,
40 organized men, thought they should
have an increase of 10 per cent. But
the firm thinks different: Up to date
not one man has deserted.
