only one life was lost. The victim
was Anthony Salviski, of McAdoo. who
set off the blast that released the
water.
If the mine had been equipped with

up which men can walk, there might
have been a great loss of life. as the
cages can only carry about half doz-
ell men on each trip.
The rush OF air was so great when
the water broke through that the

in the slope were extinguished. The
floods rapidly subsidized. Nine men
lost their lives in this mine last July
through white damp.

To Feel Good
After Christmas
Feasting.

Last year I published a lit
tie ad. telling the public how
to feel good the next day
after Christmas. It did so
much real good, hundreds of
people writing me that 1t
did, that I have asked the
publisher OF this paper to
publish it again this year.
Most everyone eats a little
too much on Christmas. Too
much candy and rich food,
all in a day or two, causes
intestinal indigestion, head
ache and constipation, even
with children and grown
ups who never suffer such eff
fects at any other time. Just
assist nature a little with
pleasurable. harmless, nom
irritating physic. A sweet,
little pill, easy to take, pleas
ant to act, and cheap, too.
Probably you know what I'll
say next, because most ev-
erybody has tried Black
burns Castor-OiI-Pills." Give
the children one pill Christ
mas Eve-so they'll enjoy
the candy. nuts and good
dinner next day. Take one
yourself.
Christmas night, before re-
firing, give the children an
other pill and take one or
two yourself, drinking a lit
tie water afterwards. Next
day, you won't have the
blues. nor feel dull, sick and
irritable. Thousands have
tried it and know it's true.
All leading druggists can
supply Blackburn's Castor
Oil-Pills in 10c and 25c pack

orneT and fOrty-fivc in the
latter.
