II the rate is granted for the Fre-
mont county territory, then 1t is ex-
pected that most of the mines will
work nearly full time, and the most
of them at least half time. In the
case Of the miners when the mine
works half time, 1t means about full
time for them. as they enter the
mines on the idle days and blast out
coal to load out the next day. In
this way the miners make fairly good
money, but the men paid days pay

AMERICAN WAR

During the Spanish-American War
many OF our soldiers suffered severely
from cramp in the stomach and bow
els, due in most cases to the change
OF climate and the water they were
obliged to drink.
Mr.. Geo. A. Lake, OF Dennison, Tex
as. gives an interesting account of how
ne came 10 the relief OF some OF the
men in his regiment: Just as ! was
starting for the war; says Mr.. Lake,
MI. Davis gave me a large bottle of
Sloan's Liniment | used it in our
troop at Camp Mobrey for cramps and
dysentery among the men. 1t took
finely and lots OF the boys OF Troop
L. Isl Tex. Cav. U. s. ", will never
forget the name of Sloan's Liniment
One case in particular was our bugler,
Fred Ormsley; he was cramped until
ne could hardly stand it. ! gave him
a dose of Sloan's Eminent and in five
minutes he was up and ready TO so on
with the troop"
Every druggist carries Sloan's Lini-
ment in stock You can get il in 25c,
soc or $500 sized bottles. It's good
thing TO have in the house for rheuma-
tism, toothache, sore throat, asthma
and any pain or stiffness.
