Oppose 6-Hr.Day,

I.abor Representatives In
Opposing Plan.
Washington. April 5 —George A
| Sloan, president of the Cotton Tex
tile Institute and chairman of the
cotton code authority Joined cotton
textile manufacturers and labm
representatives this week in oppos
ing the petition of Johnson & John
son, surgical dressing manufacture
| ers, that the limitation of machin
| ery hours under the code be modi
fied to permit 24-hour operation
Russell E. Watson, vice president
of Johnson St Johnson, presenting
the petition of two subsidiary com
panies, the Chicopee Manufacturing
corporation of Georgia and the
Chicopee manufacturing t company
of Massachusetts, requested, the cot
ton code be modified to permit any
manufacturer to operate productive
machinery on four six-hour shifts
daily, provided the wage paid for
six hours be the same that would
be paid under the code for eight
hours.
He said the modification would
approximately double employment,
that Johnson St Johnson wojld be
assured an adequate supply of gauze
of satisfactory auality, and the
increased cost of four cents a pound
and the increased profit margin of
2.1 cents a pound caused bv the
limitation of machinery to two
eight hours shifts would be ellnvl
n'lted.
Sloai ard other opponents said
the proposal was directly opposed to
the expres? policies of the national
industrial recovery act.
The code authority president said
since the war the essential weak
ness in ttte cotton textile industry
has been its tremendous over-ca
pacity and that if continuous op
eration were permitted, half the
available spindles would supply the
demand.

Constipation. Gas, Indigestion Pains
Are Thing* of the Past Porf C.
Henderson and Wife.
Several days ago Mr. Henderson,
who resides at Glendale Mills, call
ed at the drug store, where he
bought his first bottle of Vim Herb
and said, “My wife and I have used
a six bottle treatment of Vim Herb
and I want to tell you how thank
ful we are for the relief It has
given us. We were both in a badly
rundown condition and often said
that, unless we found something to
build us up, we would both be down
in bed. You know a person can't
work without eating and they cant
eat a good meal when every mouth
full forms gaa and in an hour or so
causes severe pains from Indiges
tion. And that's the fix we were in
—always taking soda or something
on that order. I was also troubled
a great deal with pains under my
shoulder and could not sleep sound
ly, as I would be up at all hours
after going to bed. My wife com
plained of aharp palna in her aide
and we both had to take a atrpng
laxative moat every night. This Vim
Herb proved to be juet what we
needed and. aa my wife said the
other day, it sure brought us health
and happiness as we both are en
tirely free of our former health
troubles. It is a pleasure to work
now, and for the first time in
months we can eat and enjoy a big
meal without suffering from indi
gestion pains. As a laxative and
general system regulator Vim Herb,
to my way of thinking, has no
equal, and you can bet that when
we hear some of our friends com
plain of feeling bad we say—go
right down to the drug store and
get some Vim Herb—It’s the best
ever sold." Call at the Cleveland
Drug Co., and ask them to tell you
about this new development in med
iclne. Tou don't need salts, pills
mineral water* or oils, with Vim
Herb. adv.

350,000 bales of
Turkish tobacco
to add something to the taste
So important is Turkish to
bacco in the Chesterfield blend
that we maintain a modern
up-to-date tobacco factory in
the far-off city of Smyrna.
Turkish tobacco adds some
thing to the taste and aroma
of a cigarette that no other
tobacco can give.
It means something that
Chesterfield always has in stor
age upwards of 350,000 bales
of this aromatic Turkish leaf.
This Turkish tobacco is
blended and cross-blended
with ripe mild home-grown
tobaccos to give Chesterfields
a taste and aroma that is not
like other cigarettes.
Everything that money
can buy is used to make
Chesterfield the cigarette
that's milder, the ciga
