the marked improvement over recent
years.
In Emporium there are 81 widows
and of this number all but nine were
presented with a turkey for their
Christmas dinner. The nine ladies

had they sent their names to the PRESS.

The Austin Autograph, in speaking
of the death of Harry Crawford, who
was roasted alive at the furnace at this
place, says: "Crawford was probably
as extensively acquainted as any "hick''
that ever wore calk shoes. Few people
who have ever worked in the bark
woods of Pennsylvania but what knew
him. When overtaken by his horrible
death, he was on his way to Davis, w.
Va, and had he not met with the bath
OF molten ore he would have departed
from Emporium on the $50 a. M freight
south. Crawford's worse feature was
drink, and it was impossible for him to
work very many days without having
a little batter. He had just broken all
his previous records for industriousness
by working steadily tor % days, to en-
able him to raise ''stake" on which to
make his journey southwark.

one natural way to get good blood, and
and that is from the stomach. If it

they are mother and daughter, and you
realize that a woman at forty or forty
five ought to be at her finest and fairest.
Why isn't it so?
The general health of woman is SO in
timately associated with the local health
of the essentially feminine organs that
there can be no rich cheek and round
form where there are facilitating drains,
and female weakness. Women who lave
suffered from these troubles have found
prompt relief and cure in the use of DR..
