KAKSAKS INTERESTED
I'M TERRITORY MINE.

lola, Sept. 22.-Burton E. Cliff
ford, county attorney, and Frank
limerick have struck what prom:
Uses to be a good thing in an In
dian Territory lead and zinc min
ing proposition. Not long ago
they went halves in purchasing
a lease of five acres of mineral
land a short distance north of the
famous Joanna mine in the Qua
paw reservation, adjoining Bax-
ter Springs.
Last evening Messrs. Clifford
and limerick, together with some
other local men who are interest
ed in mining propositions in the
same locality, gathered in the
county clerks Office to talk over
mining matters, when limerick
offered Clifford $l,7O for his in
terest in the lease, which was re-
fused. ~
Messrs. Clifford and limerick
have just signed a contract for
sinking a shaft on their lease and
work will be commenced at once.
Not the least interesting point
concerning the proposition is that
another lola man refused the
lease at 500 a short time before
Clifford and limerick got hold
Of Il.

There seems to be a disposition
on the part of very few people
to kick the drug stores out of busi-
ness if the joints are not allowed
to do business in this city. This
is all wrong. Simply because one
man can not do business is no reas-
on why another one should not.
Our druggists are good citizens,
and have been doing business here
a long time, and we may add,
having taxes. The News is in
favor of a couple of good joints.
Everybody acquainted with the
News knows this. We believe the
establishment of a couple of good
Joints is a good thing for the town
and for the druggists, who would
no doubt be very glad to get rid
Of a class of trade they don't want.
But simply because we are in ia
vor of joints is no reason why we
should want to run out the drug
stores, and we do not want to see
anything of that kind done, and
SO long as we are able to register
q kick II is not going to be done.
Every man takes his own chances
in going to. business in this great
and glorious country, and. hi
should not try to down Others
simply because he may not be
able 70 succeed himself. Drug
stores are legitimate business in
stitnfi0ns. and the sentiment of a
Jew that the drug stores should
be made to close if the joints can
Dot run is silly and not uttered
By good citizens. We believe that
ninety per cent 81 the people OF
this town are in favor Of a couple
81 thirst parlOrs, but we do not
believe the other ten per cent want
the drug stores to quit business.

of a resubmission of the prohib-

are on that question we. want to
say right here that Oh. Sparks,
who is running for representative
of this district, is also in favor
of resubmission, and if he is
elected, and he surely will be, he
is going to work mighty hard to
the have matter resubmitted to the
people of the glorious state of
Kansas. Remember, if you want
to vote on the question again you
must send representatives to the

Baxter Springs mining camp on
Tuesnay of this week, and ex-

great future for the camp. Mr..

knowledge in the lead and zinc
districts of the United States,
having had experience in Galena
and Joplin several years ago. He
is now on his way to Arizona,
where Mr.. Taylor has large gold
mines. Mr.. Garrison was so taken
with the showing made here that
he will stop off on his return trip

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.

The Digesting Element Left Gut.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t at
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the PAN
create juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
TO digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that ma
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase. outside of the human fody.
In this way the starcny part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in perfect
~ natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of
Grape Nuts. This food therefore is
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The eeffct of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance of ordinary white bread is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly in
strength and physical snd mental
health.

A LAND or OPPORTUNITIES.
inducements Held Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.


A recent number of the Winnipeg
(Manitoba) Free Press contains an
excellent article on the prospects in
Western Canada, a portion of which
we are pleased TO reproduce.
The agents of the Canadian Gov
eminent, located at different centres
in the States, will be pleased to give
any further information as to rates,
and how to reach these lands.
"Just now there is a keener inter-
est than ever before on the part OF
the outside world, in regard to the
claims of the Canadian West as field
of settlement. At no previous time
has there been such rush of immi-
grafton, and the amount of informa-
ton distributed broadcast is unprece-
dentedly great.
I'm the majority of the States of
the Union and in Great Britain the
opportunities for home-making and
achieving of even a modest compe-
tence are at the best limited. More
over, according to the social and in
dustrial conditions prevalent in those
communities, the future holds out no
promise of better things. 1t is not
strange, then, that energetic young
men should turn their eyes to Can
ada's great wheat belt, where every
man can pursue fortune without the
hindrance of any discouraging handi-
cap.
1.-THE inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably
certain is borne out by the history of
the country and its residents. The
promise of gain is powerful, but when
added to it there is the prospect of a
corresponding social and civil eleva-
ton, it should prove irresistible to
young men of particularly desirable
class for any new country.
''The Canadian West is alive with
opportunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some of the eager young fellows who
arrive on the prairies daily are des-
tined to become more than merely
prosperous farmers. In the near fu-
ture great municipal and provincial
development will be in the hands of
the people. The stepping stone to
both financial prosperity and civil
prominence is, and will be, the farm.
For every professional opening there
are hundreds of agricultural openings.
The Canadian prairies are teeming
with opportunities for the honest and
industrious of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
young man who seeks field for the
energy and ability which he feels in
herent within him. The familiar cry
of Back to the soil!" is more than
vain sounding phrase when applied
to Western Canada"

Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serionS operations
Why should this be the case? Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Female troubles are certainly
on the increase among the women of
this country-they creep upon them
unawareS, but every one of those
patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feel
ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen,
nervous exhaustion, pain in the small
of the back. dizziness, tiatulency, dis
placements of the organs or irregular
tiles. All of these symptoms are indi-
cations of an unhealthy condition of
the female organs, and if not needed
the penalty has to be paid by a danger
Gus operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag along
until you are obliged to GO to the hos
pital and submit to an operation
but remember that Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has saved
thousands of women from surgical
operations.
When women are troubled with ir-
regular, suppressed or painful periods,
weakness, displacement or liberation

gestion, and nervous prostration, or are
beset with such symptoms as dizziness,
lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner-
vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
"all-gone" and want-to-be-left-
alone feelings, they should remember
there is one tried and true remedy.
