* NEW BRITAIN LADY HAS ENTIRELY RECOVERED HEALTH AND TAKES THIS MEANS TO THANK LAX-A-TONE MRS, J. PACKARD, It is at least convincing said’ the Lax-a-Tone man at the Economy New England Drug Co., when vyou see home people gladly and willingly in- dorse Lax-a-Tone. It conclusively' proves as I have said many times that the merit of a remedy is proved right here at home. Mrs. Packard who lives’at 170 Broad street, this city says: “I find Lax-a-Tone a wonderful remedy for indigestion, gas, bloat, a pain in my back and side. I had ter- rible headaches and felt rundown and miserable. I have given Lax-a-Tone a thorough trial and cannot recom- ment it too highly. It is truly won- derful.” 5 “I have many statements like the above,” said Mr. Martin, the Laxfa- Tone expert, and it will only be a’ short time until all of New Britain will, be using Lax-a-Tone as the fam- ily medicine.” The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Ecen- | omy New England Drug Co., 365 Main street, where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public. He will remain Monday evenings until 3 p. m. to see those unable to call during the day. GEN. DAUKE RESIGNS Austrian Commander Figured in Quar- rel With Von Hindenberg—Gen. Beck Also Resigns From Service. Amsterdam, Jan. 29, via London, | 6:40 a. m.—The Berlin Vossische Zeitung reports the retirement of General Dankl], one of-the best known commanders in gthe Austrian army, ~ from field service. Emperor Charles has written to Gen. Dankl regrettfng that the commander’s ill health pre- vents his remaining in active service and appointing him captain of the Im-, perial body guard. The emperor has also acceptéd the resignation of Gen. Count Beck, who was adjutant gen- cral to Emperor Francis Joseph. Gen. Dankl was in command of the Austrian forces on the Lemberg front at the time of the great Rus- sian drive in 1914. It was reported that he quarreled with Field Marshal Von Hindenburg and the following vear he was transferred to the Itallan front. WAGE INCREASEY IN NOV. AND DEC More Than 1,100,000 Employes | Benefit During Last Two Months (Special to the Herald.) ) Washington, Jan. 29.—Secretary of | Labor Willlam B. Wilson stated that more than eleven hundred thousand' wage earners in the United States re- ceived substantial increases in pay in | the months of November and Decem- ber, 1916, according to figures just ' | compiled. “With a few minor exceptions,” said the secretary, “all of the 1,118,970 in- | creases came after election day,‘ November 7 and 931,763 during De- cember. This is extremely interesting in view of the prediction of ‘closed shops,’ ‘soup kitchens,’ ‘bread lines,” etc., should President Wilson be re- elected, with which the repub ,j'.n managers flooded the columns of “Lhe newspapers and plastered’ the bill- boards of the country in the last six Weeks of the campaign. It is signifi- cant that of the 1,118,970 of. workers affected, only 356,300, or a little more than 3 per cent. are employed in the manufacture of munitions. It is also significant that whereas 66 of the 212 increases noted for November were the result of strikes, only 33 of the 304 for December were secured through this method. “I have had prepared from various newspapers and periodicals tables showing wage increases secured by establishments in the months men- tioned. The figures presented were se- cured from 45 trade unian perlodi- cals, 42 labor papers, 6 leading trade Journals, and over 50 daily newspapers published in various parts of the country. Great care has been taken to eliminate all diplicates, “The reports for Noyember, 1916,{ show 212 statements of wage in- creases in 38 states. Three of the reports relate to railroads and other interstate establishments. Of these 212 reports 131 show the nuniber of establishments affected to be 163, ana 77 reports show 187,207 employes af- fected. Of the 212 reports of wage increases 57 are stated to be the result of mutual agreement between em- ployer and employes, 66 as the result of strikes, 72 by. valuntary action on the part of the employer ,and for the remaining 17 no reason was stated. The second table shows the same in- formation arranged by industry or occupation.
