That habit of yours has under mined your health and given you that pimply, pallid face, with those lack-luster eyes. Those blue rings tell the story. You have a visible thinness in your looks. Your hands are inclined to be cold and clammy, and involuntary losses occur. There are a thousand things you would like to do, but you lack the ambi tion to do one of them. "Your mem ory is defective, your thoughts can not be concentrated, and you lack decision. You move about in a hesitating manner and grow cow ardly. You have a pain in the back, your stomach becomes weak and your heart beats irregularly. You fancy suspicion in the eye of every one who locks at you, and it is true your friends are not ignorant of your condition. This is a terrible habit with awful consequences—you must act for yourself. Get cured before it is too late. Go to the Minnesota State Medical Institute. You can be cured in a short time.

BOSTON, May I.—The eight-hour day was established today in almost every district in New England where Journey men of the building trades have organ ized, and the concession was obtained with little iriction and only a few strikes. The most widespread demand for the eight-hour day was made some weeks ago by the granite cutters throughout New England, and while at most places the demands were granted, there were a few echoes of that contention today. The most important of the strikes in this in dustry were at Barre, Vt., where the granite polishers went out, and a con ference .in the afternoon failed to bring about a settlement. At £owell an incipi ent strike was settled, but small strikes at Manchester, N. H., Sullivan and Frankiin, Me., and at Fall River, Mass., are still in force. At Qulncy, where the cutters have been out for three months, a conference today brought no result. Norcross Bros., of Worcester, also were unable to settle with their cutters at the Milford quar ries. Otherwise the Indications were that nearly every strike was settled with little delay^ At Providence, Pawtucket and Boston there were strikes in other trades, chiefly among painters, carpenters and other branches, but the numbers are not large.
