GREAT STRIKE OF COAL MINERS IS THREATENED (Continued From Page One.) where tho wage agreements expire in 1911. . It Is pretty generally conceded that the miners will call another Interna tional oonvention between this and April 1 to consider conditions, arising from the failure of the Joint confer ence here. If auch a convention Is held H will be for tho explicit pur pose of either reaffirming the Indianap olis declaration or modifying it The operators of tha organised fields de clare there are 250,000 unorganised min ers in the United States and that It is impossible for them to grant the in creased demands of the miners unless these men are brought Into the organ isation so that all coal produced may be on the same competitive basis.

If you have noted only such pre I monitory symptoms or indications as constantly recurrent "sick-headaches," unaccustomed languor or feel ing of exhaustion, dragging sensa tion and tenderness of the back and groins? bloating of the extremities, sharp "stitches" when rising suddenly from- sitting or stooping position, etc., you may be quite certain that all these are Indications of Deadly UricAcid Poison in the system. There can hardly be any mistake about that. The great mistake will be If you wilfully neg leet such symptoms. For urlo acid poisoning of the sys tem Invariably means diseased kid neys and bladder then chronic in flammation of the kidneys, bladder and passages, inflammatory rheu- matism, gravel and gall-stones, . chronic -nervous disorders, dropsy,' diabetes, Bright's disease, etc. As suredly, these are matters serious enough to merit the Instant attention Of any man or woman. And whenever there Is the slight est Indication of oivo's kidneys and bladder having "gone wrong' com mon sense should at once suggest the selection of a good, honest, reliable remedy for this class of nervous de rangements.
