Boycotts and Other Methods Have Caused Master Mechanics to Organize. Schenectady, N. Y., Feb. 4. The mas ter builders, masons, carpenters, paint ers and plumbers of this city nave de cided to organize a Builders' exchange. The motive Is to cope with the trades unions which have a strong body known as the building trades section of the trades asembly, and which fix the price of labor for their members without reference to the employers. The wages paid carpenters, plumbers, plasterers, masons, lathers and others are so hish that building costs an ex orbitant price and the employers are determined to resist further encroach ments. The unions have driven nonunion labor from this city by boycotting any one who employs them, and this Is an other grievance, as at the present time, the bosses are at the mercy of the union.

LOOK OUT FOR The cold-wave flag means zeio weather, icy, mokture-laden wiuds, and the begin ning of winter in earn est. To Catarrh suffer ers there is nothirj? cheering in tbese climatic changes, for with the return of cold weather. all the disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh appear: blinding headaches, dizziness, stuffy feeling about the nose that makes breathing difficult, chest pains, and as the disease progresses, a d ischarge of nauseat ing matter from the throat and nose keeps one continually hawking and spitting. Catarrh is a most disgusting disease. The foul mucous secretion tbat are con stantly dropping back into the stomach contaminate u-.d poison the blood and is distributed throughout the body, and it then become a deep-seated, systemic, persistent disease that must be treated through the blood, for it is beyond the reach of sprays, washes, powders or ex ternal treatment of any kind. " S. S. S. soon clears the system of all Catarrhal matter and purges the blood of the irritating poisons, thus effectually checking the further progress of this seri ous and far reaching disease. Lookout for Catarrh in winter, for cold stirs the blood and causes excessive secre tion of mucus and brings to life all the slumbering poisons that make Catarrh the most abominable of all diseases. 8.S.S. Veeps the blood in such perfect order that cold waves cause no alarm and the change from the heat of summer to the rigors of winter produce no hurtful effects.
