An Interesting feature of the report Is a compilation of statistics showing the number of working day* lost In strikes in the coal industry. These figures Include the present year, and are brought up to date. The total number of days lost for the present year Is placed at 20,000,000 day# compared with 733..802 days In 1901; 4,877.102 in 1900, and 2,124,154 in 1899.

Deak Sir Some years ago 1 operated a float ing saw-null on tho Savannah River*. My base of operations was being constantly changed, and my hands were always exposed to the worst malarial influences. I employed over one hundred hands, and the work was conducted as much in water as out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem ber there was great loss of time and business, on account of sickness among the workers. My attention was then called to Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the medicine a trial. I procured it, and those who were sick were put on this treatment, and those who were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic. In a short time every one of the one hundred hands was well and reported for duty; and from that time on I used nothing else but Johnson’s Tonic, and never had another case of fever.
