Twenty-six men entered the mine
on the night shift and the names of
the victims are taken from the pay
roll.
The explosion was peculiar. No
noise or shock was heard at the open

was noticeable. The engineer noticed
the smoke and realizing that an accl-

When Mrs. Ellis left Elk Park she
placed her little girl in the custody

Bad Stomach Causes UnsightIy Com

Have a Remedy.

Bad stomachs mean bad blood; bad
blood means sallow, unattractive skin
Why? The stomach in a healthy
condition separates the nutritious
matter from the food and gives it to
the blood to supply the entire body
with nourishment.
If the stomach is not in a healthy
condition 1t does not separate from
the food the nutritious matter and 1t
passes OF with the waste.
Thus the blood is impoverished and
has not sufficient nourishment to sup
ply the muscles, skin and body gen.
orally.
If you have belching OF gas, dis
tress after eating, nausea, biliousness,
nervousness or foul breath, then your
stomach is wrong and you want the
