BraIu-FOOd Nonsense.

Another redicu1us food fad has
been branded by the most compe'
tent authorities They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food Is needed for brain,
another for muscle, and still au-
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, It's nutri-
ment Is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
comming by takingiregular doses OF

The Blyson Oil company of
Wheeling, which was organized a
couple of years ago principally oy
Wheeling men, Is having troubles
of Its own. Following the placing
of It's affairs In the hands OF re-
celver at Marion, Ind, comes the
statement, made by an ficer OF the
company, that the company Is vol
unfairly taking steps to have a re-
celver appointed for Its property
and business In Ohio, the obi CT
being to secure as equitable an adj
iustment of the affairs as possible
to conserve the interests of It's
stockholders. The Ohio receiver
ship, it Is understood, was arranged
for In Wheeling Monday.
Its Affairs.
An officer of the company In dis
cussing the affairs ofthe Blyson Oil
company, stated that 1t owed $780,.
COO or Whereabouts, payment OF
which Is not possible now IN view
of the legal entanglements that
have arisen in various places and
disappointment In bringing In pay
log wells In It's Lima and Indiana
fields. The company has been OPP
Grating quite extensively In various
districts, and while 1t claims to
have brought In some good wells
other less profitable Developments
have overbalanced the account on
The dividend side of the ledger.
Much Stock Taken.
From an authoritative source 1t Is
understood that the company has
received between $4,000 and $6o,-
600 In payment of stock. 1mmedi-
ately after 1t was organized 1t began
development In Pennsylvania In
Clarion county. where 1t acquired
considerable territory, spreading
shortly after that to the Lima field
It paid Its stockholders dividends
of I per cent per month for long
time, In fact, continuing payments
until January of this yesr. At first
Its stock was sold low on The mar
ket but as dividends continued to
come the shares increased In value.

Ri YsON OIL CO. TAKING STEPS
TOCLOSE UP ITS AFFAIRS

President Granville, who Is In
Wheeling this week, said the prin-
cipal cause of the company's en-
tanelements was, as stated above,
inability to bring In larger num-
Der of paying wells, as it confident
ly expected to do. He said it had
drilled some good wells In the Lima
and Indiana fields.
Local Suits,
Several suits have been fled In
the circuit court OF Ohio county
against the company and one or
two small ones In justice conrts
besides one against an officer OF
the company for personal account.
The local claims on alleged con-
tracts, one being tina! filed by St.
Mary's man who said he was en-
gagged to do a certain job of drilling
The claim Is disputed and 1t got
into court.
Ia the Marion suit action on a
note for three or four thousand
dollars has been begun. The party
who Is plaintiff states that 1t was
given on various property In and
about Marion. In view of these
claims and the fact that large Sums
have been spent on development
that has not produced more wells,
1t does not look as If there will be
very much left for the stockholders.
Company's Organization.
The company was formed, as
stated above, by Wheeling men
principally
T. S. Young was one of the
promoters He has been acting as
the comparys secretary. 1t has
maintained Offices In the Peabody
building and besides offering
losses through unsuccess:ll devel-
opponents has spent much OF It's
capital In operating expenses, such
as Office rent, hire of Its agents on
the road, salaries of officers and
employees and In the thousand and
one things necessary 10 be paid for
In q company of this character.
rhe company owns little or no
property In this state.
The suckers who bought stock
will lose 1t all.

sEvERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle Of ChRmberlaiA'S
Cough Remedy.


"When had an attack of the
grip last winter (the second time) /
actually cured myself with one bot.
tie of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy." says Frank w Perry, Editor
of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
Y. This Is the hopest truth. I at
times kept from coughing myself
10 pieces by taking a traspoonful
OF this remedy, and when the cough.
ing spell would come on at night l
would take dose and |: seemed
that In the briefesr interval the
cough would pa S IF and I would
go to sleep peri. city free from cough
and Its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most
agreeable surprise is putting 1t very
mildly. 1 had no idea that 1t would
or could knock out the grip, SIM
ply because 1 had never tried 1t for
such a purpose, but 1t did. and 1t
seemed with the second attack OF
coughing the remedy caused 1t to
not only be of less duration, but
the pains werz far less severe, and
I had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For sale by G. W. Grier.

THREE-QUARTERs of a million immi-
grants landed in the United States in
IL months, and the fiscal year recently
closed proved a record breaker More
foreigners reached this country within
the past year, planning to make it their
home, than the population of Vermont
and New Hampshire combined. 1t is
perhaps not for the best good of the
country in general and agriculture in
particular that 50 great proportion of
the newcomers are people from south
eastern Europe, who will add to further
congestion in Boston, New York and
other large cities without taking very
prominent part in the enrichment Of the
nation. The federal authorities hope to
be able to check the thrush of undesir-
able immigrants

NEAL Brown Of Wausau is out in an
interview in which he attempts to ad-
wise his democratic followers on the COM
ing issues, one Of which is opposition to
the primary election law, and says: eve
should tend all our energies to the de-
feat of the primary election law, which
will be submitted % the people at the
coming election, For one, [ would have
been satisfied to support a conservative
and reasonable primary election law, one
that would give the system fair trial,
but do bot approve the drastic and
sweeping law now before the people. 1t
would correct no old abuses; it would
furnish large opportunities for the in
Fiction Of new abuses Of selfish, power
loving politicians. Our caucus and con-
vention system has never been more
prostituted to further vicious purposes
than under the present state administra-
ton. This office holding force has con-
stantly used the per diem and expense
account to carry on and cover up politi-
cal thimble rigging"

State Veterinarian E D Roberts says
the number of cases of hydrophobia
throughout the state is fewer than last
year So far there have been reported
to his office about sixty cases of animals
bitten by dogs reported to have hydro
phobia. In some cases the heads have
been sent to DR. Russell at Madison, who
has developed the disease by inoculating
guinea pigs with matter from the spinal
column. He has 20 record of the num-
Der of people bitten by dogs supposed to
have hydrophobia, and treated by the
Pasteur Institute. He is satisfied, how
ever, that there were not as many this
year as last. Most of the cases of hydro
phobia this year we're in the eastern tier
of counties of the state.

FARMERS can look compIacently on the
smash in stock values which took place
in Wall street recently. The losses are
largely on paper, and hit those who can
best stand it, and who most deserve it.
The watering of stock and the capital
cation OF fictitious values which have
gone on at such phenomenal rate the
past few years must come to an end
sometime and the sooner the better for
legitimate business interests. Most farm
ers who have money to invest can do
better by letting it out at interest to
their neighbours

A NOTABLE BOOK.

To Thomas Nuttall. who was the Curator of the Botanical Gardens of Harvard University in 1922. is due the credit of having first studied the birds of the United States and to have writ ten most intelligently concerning them. "A Popular Handbook of the Birds of the United States and Canada, GS32-D has more than any other publication directed attention in this country to ornithology. The public will therefore welcome a new edition of Nu-tall, espe- cially in its present attractive form. During the last half century we have added a great deal to our catalogue of American birds. but the main facts as Nuttall presented them remain unchang- ed. His introduction is partic Ilarly well written giving an insight into tine wide difference between "the fea.hered iuha bi- tants of the air" and the rest of llture's creations. It Is in the study of the senses of birds that marked differences are noticeable from the mammals. In birds there Is a prodigious field of vision accompanied by wonderful keenncss and accuracy. Certainly the eyes cf most birds show muscular or mechanical properties terrestial animals do not DOS sess. That was a capital .dea of Nut tails. that the celerity with which an animal moves is a just indication of the perfection of vision" The tird does not possess the sense of smell IS strongly as does the animal. It is by the pnwe- of sight that the vulture knows whore lies the carrion? The question of sight or smell under these circumstances we think has not yet been decided. Nuttall makes however this distinction het tYean IT en, ouadrupeds and birds. Touch is pecu- liar to men. smell is guide to animals. and sight 10 birds. Whether tho hearing of a bird is superior to that If the quad- rupeds is another question not ct solv- ed But what the bird has is a 7oice of uncommon quality. The song cf the bird has what musicians call th> oarrv- inr quality a sonororsnass quits It's own This study of the hird is m extensive and q thorough one and the dif7"rl: s' b. iAct of migra ton is carafnllv discussed A great deal If material on this p4rticular phase of bird life has heeu produced of late. and much that is novel has been presented
