RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE THIS SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the ingredients from Any Druggist
in Your Town and Shake Them
in Bottle to Mix This.

A well known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers of large New
York daily paper the following valua-
BILE, yet simple and harmless prescrip-
ton, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hali
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsapariIIa, three
ounces.
Mix By shaking well in a bottle, and
take tea.poonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being a
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken regu-
larly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of Rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without iEjuIIng the
stomach. While there are many So
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, ETC., some Of which do give
relief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated by many sufferers
here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even the
small towns ELECTS the information that
these drugs are harmless and can be
bought separately, or the druggists will
mix the prescription if asked to.

Railroad Notes.

The statistics compiled by the Inter
/ state Commerce Commission for the year
| ending June 80, 1906. show that the mum
\ Der of persons on the pay rolls Of the
I railroads of the United States vas 1.j21.-
I $50. The total amount Of wages and sal
aries paid TO employees during the year
/ was S900,S01,65S. The number Of rail-
/ way corporations was 2.3I3, and the total
, single-track mileage 224. S(i3. of which
3,971 was operated by receivers.
The Nashville. Chattanooga and St
Louis railway reports a decrease in its
net earnings for the last fiscal year of
about s2J0,OOO, but this was more than
accounted for by the increase in charges
for improvements. The falling of. how
ever, was attributed 10 high wages and
increased cost of materials. President
Lowry of the Minneapolis, ST. Paul and
Sault Ste. Marie dwells on the same
theme. namely, the great addition TO the
cost Of operation. resulting in a decrease
in the years total earnings,
A report fled with the Internal affairs
department shows that the Pennsylvania
railroad between Pitts5urg and Philadel-
phia is 34S-S miles in length. Persons
travelling between the cities have been
charged for 3i53 miles. this being the dis
lance when the road was measured before
the company began Strengthening its lines.
and in the curves that have been removed
within the last year the distance has been
reduced four miles. There has been no
corresponding reduction in the mileage
charges. This reduction will be neces-
sary now.
The United Circuit Court Of Appeals at
Denver has affirmed the decision Of the
lower codrt against the Great Northern
railroad in the rebate cases, thus deciding
IN favor Of the government an important
point, TO the effect that prosecutions IN
der the old EIkins act are not invalidated |
by the new Hepburn rate law. The high |
er court holds that the Hepburn act is /
and not repeating, and that 50 |
far as it repeats portions Of the EIkins /
act it continues them in force. and that /
in 50 far as it omits OF changes the pro
visions of the Elkins act it repeals them.
Every railroad in the State Of AIissis-
sippi was indicted by the grand Jury at
Jackson for failure to furnish the State
Railroad Commission with list Of passes
issued by them. This action Is in line
with the indictments issued against the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley and Illinois
Central railroads The anti-pass law thus
invoked was enacted in 1884. and Is said
% be the first anti-pass law enacted in
his country. Ii had long been a dead
etter, but was resurrected by Prosecut-
ng Attorney Harris, who is now pur-
uing members Of the Legislature and
State officers for accepting passes.

] Flight as personal matter can
never be attempted by man. for the
plain reason that he Is not provided
with flying body writes DR.. Andrew
Wilson. "A near neighbor quadruped
OF his, the bat, has evolved flying pow.
ers, but 1t has developed a frame
which, like that of the bird, Is made
for flight as its true means Of locomo-
| tfon.
Its bones are filed with air and
otherwise It has points which render
Its aerial trips, not so extensive as
those Of the bird, easily performed. In
the bird, it is simply the whole arm
or forelimb which is modified in the
wing, and 1t is the actual movement
of this feathered arm which propeIs
Its possession through the air.
But the bats fight is Of different
kind 1t calls to its aid a skinfoId

mously elongated fingers, runs between

Engineers have calculated that a re-
latively enormous amount OF energy
would be required to be exerted by a
man to raise him from the ground into
the air under the existing circum-
stances of his life This energy 1t Is
impossible to generate within the
frame, and so the personal flight prob
lem must be put out Of court altogether.

that some personal apparatus, so to |
speak, might enable man to convert |
himself into a f1ier, has its own attrac- |
ton, and possibly the idea may take |
practical shape. But the more hopeful |
solution OF human flight is the dirigi- |

the passenger in it. and not its pro-
pelling genius. Chicago News.

The sun and moon conformity affect
the oceans IN obedience TO the fact in
nature known as the law of the attrac-
ton of gravity. 1t is the nature Of
things that the sun and moon shall pull
at the earth's waters, and no further
explanation can be given. When the
sun and moon are pulling In line the
tides are highest and when pulling
against each other the lowest. The
moon is so much nearer the earth than
the sun that 1t does most of the pull
ing. Notwithstanding its greatly infe-
rior dimensions.
