of Modern Surgery

Triumphs of Modern Surgery
Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like in
juries before Inflammation sets in,
which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment. Cham
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this same
principle. 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and
it will save you time and money, not
to mention the inconvenience and suf-
fering which such injuries entail.

How Paper Car Wheels
are made.

In making paper car wheels 12O to
lou layers are put together with -four
paste and subjected to a pressure OF
5OO tons, while at temperature of 12O
degrees Fahrenheit. The blocks are
then turned in lathe, slightly larger
than the tire, and the holes bored for
the cast iron center. In turning, the
the paper blocks make shaving that
resembles strips of leather. The aver
age life of the tire OF a paper wheel is
about 800, 600 miles. That represents
about one and one-quarter-inch wear.
The centers do not seem to be affected
by service, and they are always good
for renewal of tires unless some ac-
cident happens to them.

CHOKING CIIIRRH CURED
Your Money Back If Hyom lei
Does Not Cure You.

"Use Hyomei and be cured of ca
tarrh," is what all who have tried it
for that disease say to their friends.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
stop catarrh at its beginning if you
use Hyomei. Just breathe the health
giving, balsamic air for few minutes
and your catarrh will be cured.
In this city and neighboring towns,
there are hupdreds who can testify to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh. Many of the staunchest
friends of this remedy today began its
use with little hope that they would
be cured, but as Hanson & Emerson
offered to refund the money if it did
not cure, they decided to try it on that
plan and were soon restored to health.

Detectives Looking for Three
Young Men Supposed to
BE Dssperadoes.

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 2.-officials
of the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany today notified the authorities OF
this county OF the attempted hold up
of passenger train No. from Port
land to Tacoma at Rainier early this
morning. An investigation OF the at
tempted robbery reveals hoax per-
petrated by three young men who had
attended New Years dance and i'm
bibed too freely of intoxlcants. They
thought II would be joke to flag the
train and accomplished their purpose
with the aid OF two lanterns. When
the train stopped they extlnguished
their lanterns, mounted their horses
and rode rapidly away. 4 The men
were seen by the train crew, who sup
posed the robbery had been planned
but that the courage of the robbers
failed them al the critical moment.
Detectives are searching for the jokers.
Superintendent Albee says they will
be punished If apprehended.
