Basalt Is in Trouble,

The people of Basalt have had a
peculiar experience with the postal
department for several years, and
now their Office has been discontinue
ed by some crank in the department
who thinks he can serve them better
by having a mail bag tackled on to
some Xxi mail cart coming from
Shelley at the mile an hour pace, de-
livering the mail to them some hours
after the train has passed town.
We join with the Basalters in pro-
test, and they should seek the scalp

One of the newest and meanest

One of the newest and meanest
sWlndles is to nlre a constituencies
newspaper to publish as pure
reading matter" a recommendation
of a medical prescription one of the
ingredients of which is a patent medi-
cine under deceptive name. The
sufferer from disease is advised to
avoid doctors and patent medicines,
and have his druggist mix for him an
"old-fashioned home remedy con-
sisting of harmless syrups and tine
lures and the wonderful drug mark
on or "pomola," for illustration.
The reader, not being versed in me-
dical terms, supposes that this latter
ingredient is really some drug he
never happened TO hear Of, and SO
is cheated into making the purchase.
