Duffy secretary of the weavers union and will be in charge of the .strike. The trouble follows the posting of grading notices in many plants. The grading system, so-called, is a "lan un der which weavers receive only 60 per cent as much for goods ranked as sec ond-class as they do for goods ranked as first-class. The weavers contend that in many cases how the goods are classified de pends on the quality of the cotton or the machines they use, rather than on their own work. Grading Scale Cuts Wages. The weavers average a weekly wage of about $9. Sometimes as much as $2 has been cut from their wage by the grading system.

The manufacturers association, of which William O. Devoll is secretary, voted to refuse the demand, and the strike vote followed. The New Bedford authorities have planned rigorous measures to prevent disorder. Chief Henry W. Mason has issued orders that policemen will be al lowed no days off or vacations while the trouble lasts, and extra guards were on hand today to watch the mills.

WONMI'S NEED IS TO DE NEEDED Dr. L. H. Gulick. Social Worker, Tells Her New Relation to the World. CHICAGO, ILL.. July 15.--" Women s I greatest need is the need of being need ' ed,” said Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, di- I rector of the department of child hy i giene of Russell Sage Foundation, in a speech, which follows, before the Na tional Educational association meet ing: "Man has made of his new world a wonderful, a magic place in which to work, in which to make physical attainment. He has not made of It. however, a good nor a beautiful place in which to live He has made of the community a factory, not a home. "The' world-old power and skill and devotion of woman are again being called for and being given, but now not merely to make and preserve the individual home, but to give to the community those spiritual qualities which she gave to the home. "Many of the psychic functions of motherhood she is discharging in the school. She is making playgrounds for children, healthier conditions In schools, fairer for the work of men. women and children In farm, store, factory, shop and mine. The ideal is that of universal motherhood all the women being responsible that every child is loved, cared for and given a fair chance. She Is beginning to see that she responsible for much of the municipal housekeeping. Women and Social Life. "The relations between young peo ple must be so arranged that all the power of sex and the passion of love and desire shall lead toward attain ment and growth and beauty and pow er To make goodness alluring and show the shallowness and stupidity of vice—to bring the qualities and spirit of the home into the community, to embody such ideals in the common habits, the daily life of a people, is such a task, such an opportunity as has never before been given to the world. Thus are the age-long qualities of women needed in our new world to realize its surpassing possibilities as well as to save It from spiritual dis aster. "We are significant in the world mainly by the extent to which we. as individuals and as groups, differ from each other. My special place in the world is due to my differences, rather than to 'my likenesses to other people. For example, woman is as sure to have the suffrage as the tide is to rise, not because she is as wise, as strong, as skillful as man Is. nor because she. like him. is a human being, nor for any other reason of likeness or du plication at all. but because she Is different, because she can do what he can not, because the world needs her peculiar and special abilities. It is because she is different, because these differences are fundamental world needs, that it is necessary that she shall bring these differences to the service of the world. Need of Women Is to be Needed. "The deepest need of woman is the need of being needed. This is why she responds to the sick and crippled child. If ever woman was needed, it is today. The very riot of our ma terial riches is the peril of our souls Woman is already taking hold of the present material world, giving to it and bringing into It the love and ser vice and spiritual relations which in the old days created the home and which today are changing the man made work house into a place adequate to the glorious future life of human beings. "The Camp Fire Girls Is an organ ization which aims to bring the power of organization and the charm of ro mance again into the humble acts and needs of daily life. It is a deliberate attempt to help meet the new and splendid social world which is before us.” BUTTS COUNTY’S OLDEST PHYSICIAN PASSES AWAY JACKSON, GA.. July 15. At the age of 83, Dr. T.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE We submit the following as our idea* of the probabilities, under Renal Compound in Bright’s and kidney disease: Where patients are seriously weakened and crises may be expected in from ten to twenty days probably not more than 10 per cent to 20 per cAnt respond. Where physicians aid by holding up the heart, increasing the eliminations, etc., the ef ficiency can be Increased, In cases where patients have from 30 to 60 days of life we look for correspondingly better results. Where patients do not wait until bedrid den wp believe three-fourths can be con trolled ami that tn cases that take the treatment on the appearance of the dis ease that nearly nine out of ten will re spond with final or prolongation of life Albumen, casts and drops.x do not pre vent recovery The point is that the renal inflammation should be attacked before the heart and recuperative, powers are too greatly weakened Fulton's Renal Compound is used both with and without physicians’ prescrip tions The motive of the Renal Compound being to relax the kidney (the old School having nothing to reduce inflamed kid neys > it will be seen that the heart, elim inative and tonic treatment usually pre scribed in Bright s and kidney disease do not conflict but are often required in ex treme cases.
