fight for his Scent fare railway and
he and his associates are planning
action whereby they can evade ju-
dicial orders with impunity. In his
desperation the Mayor has appealed
to the City Council for the passage
of new ordinances that will be as
nearly injunction-proof as the city
administration best legal lights cab

After a series OF conferences, that
lasted all night and took up most Of
the day, the Mayor and the directors
Of the Low Fare Railway Company

BY resorting to the courts the old
company has not only eheckmated
them, but has forestalled them by
anticipating every move planned.

thousands OF persons living on or

AGED WOMAN HURT

Mrs l.. r.. Meredith, an aged wo-
man. who makes her home with
her granddaughters living In North

Sumers Coal Company. She was
taken at once to Mrs. ]. B. Simp-
sons boarding house, and DR.. Scott

fully treated her wounds He found
on examination that no bones were
broken. The old lady was attempt
ing to cross Bluefeld avenue In
frint OF Kahle & Sons store just as
two wagons were passing I'm oppo-
site directions. There being no cross
ing at that place 1t was unwise for
an old and feeble woman like she,
to take such risk. Tilden Fergu-
son, colored, who had charge OF the
team, was before the Recorders
court this morning. and the warrant
dismissed. We do not presume to
say that the accident was altogether
due TO the negligence OF the driver.
but we would advise that people.
both old and young. should be more
careful as TO where they cross the
main throroughfares and that team

That school house dodge OF the
gang is absurdly ridiculous. They
are a mysterious and funny set.
They write in the TELEGRAPH like
they do things" in municipal af-
fairs. They cover up everything with
mystery and deception. they never
come out in the open. II there is
anyone attempting bossism in the
reform movement in Bluefeld we
must confess we do not know who
he Is, nor do the ringsters. They
know that they have been the only
ones that have had any opportunity
of bossing in Bluefeld for many
years. They have bossed the city
government completely and have
had full sway to the disgust of the
people.

ADVICE TO
RHEUMATICS
TO PREVENT AND CURE
RHEUMATISM, KIDNEY AND
BLADDER TROUBLES.

From Philadelphia Record.
(By George Edmund Flood, NJ. d.
We are In danger OF becoming a
nation OF inVaIids because OF the
rapid increase in the number of
persons afflicted with Rheumatism,
Kidney. Bladder or Urinary Trouble
In some form How to prevent and
cure these afnictions, which have
become almost epidemic in Ameri-
ca" is the question have been
asked and 1 VIII answer briefly.
1t is an established fact that
Rheumatism is due to Kidney Trou-
bic. With the kidneys properly per-
forming their functions there would
be no Rheumatism. Therefore, let
us get at the root OF the trouble and
remove 1t.
In the first place, Americans as
a rule eat too much-if not too
much, too rapidly. Many OF US not
only eat too much and too rapidly,
but we eat too great a variety of
foods, which are not only hard to
digest but almost worthless so far
as nutrition is concerned Then we
drink too much Of every liquid ex-
cept water, and too littl of good,
pure water. What happens? The
kidneys become clogged up despite
their desperate EFFORTS to carry out
Of the system the vast amount OF
useless waste which we take in.
The result. This waste and poisonous
material remains in the System, is
carried all through 1t by the blood,
and makes the most fertile soil in
which the germs of Rheumatism are
deposited and mature.
The situation Is serious one,
yet the remedy is simple. If you
would avoid Rheumatism and Kid
ney and Bladder Troubles be mode
rate in the consumption OF heavy.
rich foods, substituting as far as pos
sible soups, broths. fresh mix, and
drink water--lots OF wate-and
often. Take plenty Of time to eat,
and don't eat after you have had
enough, even II It does taste good.
II your work Is combining take
moderate amount OF exercise each
day In the opon air.
OF course, neither diet, water,
rest, nor exercise will cure these sf-
hictions. I advise them as prevent
ives only For the benefit OF the
readers OF this Article who are now
aficted with Rheumatism, Kidney
Bladder or Urinary trouble, and
desire to be cured quickly 7 give
below, complete In every detail tn
famous prescription which has made
me so successful In the treatment
OF these diseases. II is the most
certain cure for these diseases that
I have ever used II IL pleasant TO
take, It is not expensive, II can be
filed by any druggist, and I believe
II is the greatest prescription for
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder

Bluefeld is synonym for pros
perity. Placed where you have a
commanding view of the city. II has
the appearance OF a mammoth work
shop. largely equipped and systemat-
ically managed. Every enterprise,
OF note, is charging the circumfer-
ence OF its activities, so as TO render
the best possible service to the public.
Our city is center of wealth as
well as population. Like so many
small streams flowing into the great
rivers, so wealth, by means OF the
different firms and corporations, is
flowing into our city. hence the i'm
portance OF wholesome municlpaL

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and I'M
proved way is called fue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of fame heated fues, which
brings out in the tobacco that

coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer

much on the curing process and the
