For more than twenty years Mr.. J. b.
Massey, Of 1922 Clinton St., Minneapolis,
Mimi, was tortured by sciatica. The
pain and suffering which he endured
during this time is beyond comprehen-
sion. Nothing gave him any permanent
relief until he used characteristics Pain
Balm. One application OF that IMMINENT
relieved the pain and made sleep and
rest poseible, and less than one bottle
has effected permanent cure. II trou

Toast to Lauohter,

Here's to laughter. the sunshine Of
the soul, the happiness of the heart,
the leaven of youth, the privilege of
purity, the echo of innocence, the treas
ure OF the humble, the wealth OF the
poor, the head of the cup OF pleasure
1t dispels detection, banishes blues and
mangles melancholy, for it's the foe
Of woe, the destroyer Of depression,
the enemy Of grief. 1t is what kings
envy the peasants. plutocrats envy the
poor, the guilty envy the innocent. It's
the sheen on the silver of smiles, the
ripple on the waters delight, the CLINT
Of the gold of gladness. Without it hui
NOR would be dumb, wit would wlther,
dlmples would disappear and smiles
would shrivel. for its the glow Of clean
conscience. the voice of pure soul.
the birth cry of mirth, the swan song
Of sadness.-Life.

The Fairmont Coal company is
making arrangements to construc.
an up-to-date coal tipple at Monon-
gah in order to work out large
area Of coal which 1t leased short
time ago. Plans are now being
carefully prepared, which will make
this operation complete in every de-
tail.
About fifty houses will also be
built by the company as there are no
available houses at Monongah to
take care of the additional men
which it will be necessary to employ
to operate the new mine opening.
The work on the houses will be
pushed as fast as possible. With
the opening of the new coal plant
things will be livened up consider

Nutriment Of Bacon.

Professor Snyder of the Minnesota
food station gave in report some rea-
sens why bacon should become popu.
lar. In reference to test he says that
bacon was cut in thin slices and baked
or broiled in the oven until crisp and
brown. All the fat which was cooked
out was saved and eaten with the
bread and other foods which made up
the daily fare.
On an average about 90 per cent OF
the protein and 90 per cent of the fat
Of the ration containing bacon were
digested and about So per cent Of the
energy was available. Calculated val
ues for bacon alone showed over 90
per cent protein and 90 per cent digest
ibie fat. figures which compare favor
ably with those which have been OBJ.
tanned for other animal foods.
Lean bacon contains as much pro.
tein and about twice as much digesti-
BILE fat as other meats says Professor
Snyder. making It at the same time
and even at higher price a pound
a cheaper food than other meats. Ba.
con fat is easily digested, and when
combined with other foods 1t appears
to exert favorable mechanical action
upon digestion
