Iwish that [ might talk to all
sick ones about the aCtua cause
to Stomach. Heart and Kidney
ailments. TO explain in person
how weak Stomach nerves lead
to Stomach weakness, | am sure
would interest all. And it is
the same with weak Hearts or
weak Kidneys. This is why my
prescription-Dr. Shoops Re
storative-so promptly reaches
ailments Of the Stomach. Heart,
and Kidneys. 1t is wrong to
drug the Stomach or stimulate
the Heart or Kidneys. These
weak inside nerves simply need
more strength. My Restorative
is the only prescription made eX
pressly for these nerves. Next
to seeing you personally, will be
to mail you free, my new book
entitled, What To Do" | will
also send samples of my Restor-
ative as we'll. Write for the
book today 1t will surely in
terest you. Address DR.. Shoop,

At times when you don't feel
Just right, when have a bad
stomach, take something right
away that will assist digestion;
not something that will Stimu-
late for a time but something
that will positively do the very
work that the stomach prefOrms
under ordinary and normal con
ditions. something that will
make the food digest. To do
this YOU must take natural di-
oestant like Kodol For Dyspep-
sia KOdOl is a scientific pre-

natural digestants and contains
the sane juices found in healthy

more than 5000 grains OF good

Cough Caution

Never, positively never poison your lungs. Ifyou
cough-even from a simple cold only-.you should
always heal, soothe, and ease the irritated bron-
chial tubes Don't blindly suppress it with
supplying poison. It's strange how some things
finally come about. For twenty years DR.. Shoop
has constantly warned people not to. take cough
mixtures or prescriptions containing OPIUM,

law be on the label. And it's not only safe but it
is said to be by those that knowit best truly re-
markable cough remedy. Take no chance then.

Disastrous floods have occurred from

in mosst4n ranges where very
little anow and moisture prevails to

The great floods in Montana last

grades cannot be laid to the de-
struction Of forests in that region as
the salsried incumbents of the new
forestry bureau are trying to edu-
cate the public to believe. The
meagre forests which nature placed
there have not yet been devastated.
Chinook winds melted the SHOWS;
excessive humidity and rains did
the work
As to the forestry in eastern states
sixty wears ago the Susquehanna
and its tributary streams through
virgin forests gave us greater floods
Than in recent years, showing the
utter falacv Of the theoretical claims
of the forestry bureau
At the recent gathering Of govern
ers at Washington, Gov. johnson
modestly exhibited greater familiar
ity with the natural resources of the
country than any there who gave ex.
preston to opinion and was sorry,
he said, TO disagree with Mr.. Car
negie and Mr.. Jas. J. Hill who
would have them believe the sun of
prosperity Of America had reached
the summit, and the shadows were
falling on the other side Of the hill.
He said in his state he had found
their resources increasing rather
than diminishing, and that while
considering natural resources, he
thought 1t quite as important to
give attention to the measures for
development of the country, that if
they had not given attention TO the
lumber industry of Lake Superior,
they would not have uncovered their
large bodies Of iron ore. This talk
OF Gov johnson will find welcome
in the heart of every man Of energy
in the great west. For our devel-
opment is now at a stand still, not
because IT the panic or for want OF
confidehcs. but because Of the ar
bitrary rules. orders and regulation.
of the Administration that over
shadow the public domain and pre-
vent development.
The motive Of these lines is no;
to criticise the conserving Of timber
Properly executed that is good
work; but to conserve trees to pro.
duce or prevent waterflow In the
high or the low attitudes Of the ives,
is the rankest fallacy of this genera
ton.

Quiet i'm Wise County

Attorney Robert s. Graham, OF
Norton, was here for several days
this week, visiting his home folks.
Mr.. Graham says that the Wise
County Coal and Coke operations are
not resuming work as fast rs reports
would indicate. A great many of the
operations give married men three
days work out Of the week and single
men two days-barely enough TO
keep them alive. In some Instances
the working hours are shorter than
this, and the forces have been reduc-
ed To the minimum. He also states
that about half the number of coke
ovens at some of the operations are in
blast, and that very little coal is
being mined for shipment. Some of
the people who are unable TO obtain
employment beg during the day and
sleep in the coke ovens at night. The
outlook is far from bright, and he
predicts that the large operations in
Wise will not resume with their full
force for several months To- come, rs
there is no market whatever, for the
coke, uost of the iron industries OF
the country having shut down or cut
down their output very low.

1.-THE POOR YE HAVE
ALWAYS WITH YOU

And some of them will always
want help. During the excessively
bad weather of January and part of
February, every application made for
assistance was promptly met. One
additional family in which there
was sickness and threatened suffer
ing, was found and supplied since
the last issue of this paper. They
were supplied with groceries and coal
sufficient TO relieve immediate needs.
There were three children, besides
father and mother-the father sick
with about coal and food enough tC
last day, in cold barren room.
The funds at our disposal are now
exhausted, however, and if there ART
future calls for assistance NOR,
money must be contributed ShoulC
the weather clear up so that mer
aan go TO work little if any furthe
cid will be asked.
