I The Pennsylvania farry boat Chi
■ plying between Jersey City and
■Sew’York, was cut in two by thfe
■ steamer City of Augusta, of the Sa-
■ wnnH h steamship line, at 12:35 Tues

I Vorth river. She went down in seven

I, There was considerable shouting for

I The City of Augusta stopped after

I Some thought that no loss of life

Brockton’s, prosperity Is so closely allied to
the prosperity of the shoe industry that it will,
no doubt, prove a matter of interest to a largo
number of people to learn the actual average
earning capacity of ea h Individual employed
iu the making of the world famed Brockton
shoe. For illustration : At the factory of tie
V.\ L. Dcuglaes Shoe company the payroll for
the week ending Sept, iio, excluding superin
tendent. forcin'n, salesmen and all clerical
help, shows the average earnings of the em
pioyes, large and small, to be $I < 54 per weak.
This was not an extraoidlnary week. It was
the customary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however, does
not always teil the story of prosperity. Thi
nutpher of weeks employed each year is the d-*-
detei ruing actor In the wage earner’s prosper
ity. The Douglass factory has been closed but
one week this year, and that for the usual sum
mer stock takinand it will be closed but
thtee days the latter part of December. This
would make but nine days out cf the year that
the factory is closed, which is surely as stead
work as the most Industrious shoemaker could
dPFlve.
Owing to increased business, another addition
Is to l e made to the Douglass foot-ry. It will
be 100 feet long, 40 feet wide, and five stories
high. It will be ready for openpanev early In
December. Tlilsaddlttcn iuci eases the capacity

WOMEN do suffer!
Even so-called healthy women suffer!
But they are not healthy!
The marks left by pain are on the young faces of many of our
daughters. Pain that leaves its mark comes from a curable
cause. If that cause is not removed its
influence reaches out and overshadows a

Vegetable Compound has been so uni
s/lr him fiS# formly successful for over a quarts of a
