the system Is flying along the track of dis.
case at such a frightful pace that no ordinary
methods will prevent disaster. There are
plenty of medicines which act merely as
brakes to "slow up" the disease and put
off disaster for a little while; but that isn't
enough. What is needed is medicine that
will instantly reverse the entire wasting,
degenerating process.
When people are losing flesh and strength
and vitality, with the life oozing out of them
day after day, they need DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which acts directly upon
the vital forces, completely transforms the
entire nutritive organism and totally re-
verses the wasting, facilitating process
which is at the root of all diseases.
It enables the digestive and blood-making
organs to supply the circulation with an
abundance of pure, healthy, red blood 1t
stops the wasting of tissue, builds up solid
muscular flesh and healthy nerve-force.
Miss Mary Whitman. Of East Dickinson
Franklin Co. N. Y, writes: For nearly ten
months have had a bad cough, and instead of
getting better, II grew worse. until was advised
by friend to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

Tho Fork, 1911.

Coryat, in his "Crudities," 1911, re-
marks that i'll his travels in Italy he
found that forks were then used at
meals. For which, with their knife,
which they hold i'll ono hand, they cut
tho meate out of the dish, they fasten
the fork, which they hold in their other
hand, upon the same dish, SO that
whatsoever he be that sitting in the
company of any others at meale, should
unadvisedly touch the dish of meate
with his fingers. from which all at the
table doe cut, he will give occasion of
offense unto the company us having
transgressed the lawes of good man
ners." And he adds: ''Hereupon l my
self thought good to initiate the Italian
fashion by this forked cutting of meate,
not only while was ill Italy, but also
i'll Germany, and oftcntimes in England
since came home, being once quipped
for that frequent using of my forke by
certain learned gentleman, familiar
friend of mine, Mr.. Lawrence Whitaker,
who i'll his merry humor doubted not to
call me 'Furcifer,' only for using a
forke Mt feeding, but for no other

1bsen symbolism, he implies, is prin-

Ibsen's method of work is described
as follows: 1 transfer to the stage GER
tain people whom have observed, GER
tain events which have seen or which
have been related to mel throw in a
little poetry-and that's how it's done''
He claims to have seen in real life
every character that he has placed on
tho stage. Count Prozor mentioned the
Rat Wife" to which Ibsen replied:
'She was little old woman who used
to come to kill rats at the school where
was educated. She carried little dog
i'll bag, and there were tales Of chill
dren who had followed her and fallen
into tho sea. That was just what I

'. l.. Mcdrew Representing the Ar genuine smeIting Co. Buys Polk
 County Mining Property.


 what appears to be big mining oeal was closed Monday between Reb- eFt Cook, a practical miner owning and operating mining lands about if teen miles south of our city, and c. L. McGrew, who claims to represent the Argenting Smelling Co. of Argentine, Kansas. The property in question is known as the Webb City and Ohio lodes Assayer Lawrence, of this city gave Mr. Cook result of Ss4 in gold and sixteen ounces of silver per ton in an assay made from ore taken from shaft on one of these veins some weeks ago The Argentine Smelling Go. made an assay of the same ore which gave result of S60 in gold and twenty-four ounces of silver.
 According to the contract McGrew IS to pay &10,050 fo1' one half inter- est in these two claims. He left Mon day evening saying he would return to Argentine and ship machinery here to work the mine within one week.
 If Mir. McGrew is what he claims to be and will follow out his plans as ex- pressed, and there is yet no room for doubt, this means much to this section of country and to Mena, as it will be the first thorough and extensive work of development yet made in the mines near here. We will all watch with great eagerness for future develop ments.
