"About two-thirds Of the prisoners
in here" remarked guard at the PEN
itentiary, "believe or profess to believe
that they have great quantities of booty
hidden somewhere in the United
States. Sometimes, they persuade
guards to believe that the stories are
true. / remember Of one instance
when guard took companion and
drove to spot which was mapped out
OH plat by the convict and dug up
acres Of ground. Every time the pick
struck hard substance the treasure
was located in the minds Of the guard
and his companion. But they did not
find anything and the convict had the
laugh all to himself. Many have been
fooled on these hidden treasures and 1t
is an old gag now.

the road by number Of people. Pat
terson is the most youthful horse thief
ever apprehended in this section. He
is an: orphan and has been an inmate
Of the West Virginia reform school.
For some time. however, he has been
living in Pennsylvania. Owing to his
age the boy will no doubt be sent back
to the reform school and kept there I'M
til he is Old enough to know better
than to steal horses. -Morgantown

Among the many numerous char

Advertising Transrorsn,fop.

The Interstate commerce commission
has madea ruling against the exchange
Of railway transportation for advertising
The decision was made arbitrarily,
without solicitation, and without af-
fordiDg those interested al opportunity
to be heard on the subject.
There appears to be no good reason
why such ruling should be made
The commission, as IL frequently the
case when reforms are undertaken, has
gone from one extreme to another.Any
man engaged in business has right To
exchange his merchandise for the mer-
chandise Of another. Such transact
ions take place every day. without
cash being taken in and they are per-
fectIy legitimate. 1t Is always the Gus
tom In settling accounts to pay only
the difference between the larger and
the smaller, but the interstate conn
merce commission has laid down a
new rule for business transactions be-
tween newspapers and railroads.
The railroad companies will no doubt
be pleased with the ruling in the case
Of some newspapers, for there have
been instances in which newspaper
publishers have outrageopsly violated

impoverished Soil

IMPOVERISHED soil, like impov-
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
II your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
YOU need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lucking in it. 1t may be you
media tonic, but more likely yo1
need Il concentrated fat food
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that i
so easily digested and assiml
lated as
