PASS this AROUND
TELLS HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE
RHEUMATISM CURE AT HOME
Prescription Given Which Sufferers of
Dread Disease Can Easily Make
Up and Try at Home at
Small Cost.

To relieve the worst form of Rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful of the fol
lowing mixture after each meal and
at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from any druggist in the
smaller towns, and are easily mixed
by shaking them we'll in a bottle. Re
lief is generally felt Irom the first few
doses.
This prescription, states we'll
known authority in Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the cloggedup, mac
tive kidneys to filter and strain from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid, which causes Rheuma-
tism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
at once prepare the mixture to get
this relief.
1t is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily, or even a few times a
week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheumat-
ism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it, you want it badly.

BLAMEs SPARKS FROM WIRES
Fire Explosion at the Naomi Mines
in PENNSYLVANIA.

Fire Explosion at the Naomi Mines
in Pennsylvania.
Bellevernon, Pa.-The coroner's jury
of the explosion at
Naomi mines, near this city, some days
ago, which resulted in the death of "a
miners, returned verdict that the
men came to their deaths as result
of an explosion of gas and dust.
THE gas seems to have accumu-
lated from insufficient ventilation, and
was, we believe, ignited from sparks
of the electric wires or an open light,
at some point not definitely located" :"
The verdict condemns the use of
electric wires on return air currents
and the use of open lights in all gas
eous mines. 1t recommends that the
mine commission appointed by the
state recommend such amendments
to the mining laws that human life
will be better protected and that the
present laws be more rigidly en-
forced"

Idaho Notes.

The sewer system which is being in
stalled in Occur d'Alene is undergoing
much severe criticism. This is found
from three standpoints. First, it's al
legged high cost; second, it's reported
defects, and third, the alleged impossi-
bility of seeing the profile by the gem
eral public.
A compromise has been reached in
connection with the strike of the tele-
phone girls at Wallace and the matter
of the strike has been settled.
Occur d'Alene high school won the
debate at Wallace over the team from
the Wallace high school by a vote of
2 to l.
The records of Shoshone county
show that the name of John King
| appears as original locator in at least
half of the most valuable pieces of
ground in the Occur d'Alenes, and,
strange to say, he located very little
ground that subsequent development
has not proved to be valuable.
The manager for the Western
Union Telegraph company in Wallace
has been notified by the city author
tiles that, by keeping the telegraph
office open on Sundays, he is violating
the Idaho Sunday rest law" and must
close hereafter.
The lid has now been put on in
Wallace and not even a vapor of Sun
day rest law violation is allowed to
escape.

Fairmont, w. Va, Dec. 1.-THE
permanent relief committee headed by

from all sources has been subscribed
Upon the basis of $500 for each widow
and 500 for each child under 16 years
of age, $175,0OO Will be required. At
least $4,000 will be necessary to pro-
vide, on relatively the same basis, for
the aggregated dependents of the un-
married victims, the many now unborn
children and the undoubted accessions
to the married victims list when COM
plete information has been received.
