RIGHT UP TO DATE.
(Denson's Plaster Is Pains Master)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quiclness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than ever. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. 1t marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured Qutckty-aad Benson's Plaster
does it, Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few @ home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt Of 25c. each.

T,yenty-nine Bodies Found.

TELLURIDE, Colo, Nov. 22.-The
number of victims of the terrible dis
aster in the Smuggler Union mine is
now known to be at least twenty-nine,
with a considerable portion of the mine
yet unexplored. Besides the twenty-five
bodies taken out and identified Wednes-
day night seven were located yesterday
afternoon in the north end of the ninth
level but the gas is still too strong to
permit the rescuers to reach them, and
their identity Is as yet unknown, Sev-
eral members of the searching parties
were overcome in their efforts to bring
out the bodies. 1t probably will be sew
eral hours before they can be reached
or any further explorations made.

The Christmas New Lippincott.

In the Christmas number Of "Lippincotts
Magazine" there appears completed novel
by Louis E"an Shipman, the author OF
"D'Arcy Of the Guards" AS compli-
ment to Its hero, the title is "Ralph Tar
rant" There is the same sparkle and spirit
so much admired in the authors earlier
book, while in plot this may be said TO out
distance its predecessor.
There are many short stories, one OF these
is the latest love-story of The sea by Cyrus
Townsend Brady. 1t is called "Tbe Cap
tain of II. b. NJ Ship Diamond Rock 1t
is as stirring as anything the distinguished
author has yet done, and tells how seaman
commanded a fortified rock.
"rhe Unfinished Elegy," by Karl Edwin
Hartman, is pathetic Christmas story
about musician.
4 charming sort of "Alice in Wonderland"
story is contributed by a young Englishwo-
man, 4. Ayrton. 1t is entitled "The Little
Gate of Fairyland."
Paul Laurence Dunbar's story called "The
Visiting of Mother Danbury' continues his
series of tales about types of Ohio country
people.
"King Edwards Coronation" by Mrs,
Belloc- Lowndes of London, tells definitely
of the event which will happen in few
months. The august ceremony is described
in way that seems to carry the picture with
it. The Queens part in the program is also
explained.
With Christmas in the air, Agnes Reppli-
er's talk about "The Oppression of Gifts"
must find a ready echo in many hearts. She
treats the subject in her own keenly witty
way.
A paper by Edmund Gosse, LID, about
1.-THE Best Books" is both good reading and
helpful, coming from this scholarly source.
Some qnaint old forgotten legends about
Christmas are told anew by Aboie Farwell
| Brown in her contribution entitled "ChriGt-
mas Stories of the Saints"
l. Zangwills two poems, "Sea of Mar
mora" and "Smyrna Harbor," are rarely
beautiful specimens of the prose writer's ver-
satility, and breathe of his recent travels in
the Orient.

are "The Ballad of the Scullion- Maid, by

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Secretary wilson's Report Shows
Substantial improvements.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The an
nual report of the secretary Of agricul-
ture, Hon. James Wilson, is considera-
bly, larger than in former years. The
secretary announces an important eX-
tension of the forecast field of the
weather bureau, which now incluNes
reports from certain points in the Brit
ish isles and on the continent of Eu-
rope, from the Azores, Nassau, Bermu-
da and Turks island. The Atlantic
forecasts based upon these reports now
form part of the regular night fore
casts issued in Washington. Three new
forecast districts have been established
in Boston, New ORLEANS and Den
mark. An extension of the forecast to
farmers through the rural free delivery
is contemplated. Substantial improve
ments are reported in the Department. 8
system of wireless telegraphy.
A large portion of the report covers
the subject of animal industry. The
grand total of animals and animal
products exported during the year ex-
ceeded $250,000,00O in value.
The organization of the bureau of
plant industry is reported
Another Of the newly organized bu-
reaus is that of forestry. The secretary
reports that this bureau is cooperating
with the federal government, with sew
eral states and many private owners in
| handling their forest lands. Altogether
assistance has been asked for a total
area of 52,000,0O0 acres, of which
! 100000 are held by private owners
The work of forest management is re,
| viewed in some detail
| The secretary expresses the belief
that irrigation will in the near future
become a subject for legislation by con
gress, there being important reasons
why it should have the attention OF
I that body.

FROM EAST BENTON.
sork Begun on New Enterprise-Other
Items.

Now that a charter was granted
20 the Pine Creek Oil Company
week ago last Wednesday of which
I. B. McHenry, Of Benton, is Presi-
dent; J. F. Kingsley, of Cambria,
Vice President; d. c. Britain, OF
Register, Secretary; and Alfred
McHenry, of Cambria, Treasurer;
they contracted last Friday with an
operator by the name OF Shearer tor
boring three wells to great depth
---one near the site of the old salt
we'll or later oil WE'LL" one above
Jonestown aud the third probably
on Green Creek. Work began last
Monday, clearing off the ground
preparatory to the erection of a
derrick. The boring, according to
contract, is to commence within
thirty days, but the contractor in
tends to begin within fifteen days.
A thorough test will now be made
and if great mineral deposits are
here ir the heart Of the earth, the
earth must now yield her hidden
treasures to this progressive and
determined company. Over ten
thousand acres of land has been
leased by this company and more
will be added.
Mrs. Sally Ashelman, Of East
Benton township. was butted by a
buck sheep last Thursday and but
for her daughter Pauline and other
timely aid she would no doubt have
been butted to death.
There is still considerable corn
standing in the shock among the
farmers OF this locality.
Notwithstanding the great "a
mount of rain the streams and wells
are exceedingly low in many places.
The people living along the free
mail delivery routes feel highly
gratifed with this kind Of postal
service.
Cambria and Benton will now be
connected by mail facilities through
the free delivery system. A closed
pouch will be carried to and from
the above named places. This
will obviate the necessity of the
mails between those places to be
sent the circuitous routes via
Bloomsbury and Shickshinny and
vice versa.

"Quick Lunch" is one of the commonest
Of city signs. The sign doesn't say "a
healthy lunch of good food" the character
of the food apparently is not considered
It's just quick lunch eat and get away.
Is it any wonder that the stomach breaks
down Food is thrown at it, sloppy, indi-
gesible and innutrilious food, very often,
and the stomach has to do the best it can.
Normally there should be no neeu for medi-
cal assistance for the stomach. But the av-
erage method of life is abnormal and while
this continues there will always be demand
for DR.. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t is the one medicine which can be relied on

gans of digestion and nutrition. 1ti a med
