Hope to Resume Survey Work

Route This Year.

Meet RICHMOND WITH WIN
CHESTER AND FORT WAYNE
PANIC STOPPED THE WORK.

There is prospect that the proposed
interurban line north from Richmond
to Winchester, where it will connect
with the line coming down from Fort
Wayne, via Portland, will be built
this year. The project was actively
agitated in 1907 and committee APP
pointed by the Commercial club en-
deavored to get survey and option
of a right of way. They were making
good progress when the panic put
stop to all efforts. They say that ev-
en- though they should get the survey
they would be unable at that time to
interest capitalists to build the lines.
But the men on this committee got
far enough into the project to see
that the line would be a good thing
for Richmond. One of the promoters
said this morning:
Good Thing for Richmond.
THAT line should be built. 1t would
be the best thing for Richmond that
we have attempted in long while.
No, the proposed line is not dead by
long way. We are just waiting for
the country to recover from the dis
turbed condition of the last twelve
months. When conditions are favor
able again 1 hope that the project
will be taken up and the survey made.
After the survey is completed capital.

build the line
In the attempt made year ago the
Richmond men planned to raise S..

the survey and get the options on the

Winchester and Richmond were tc

Bad Breath and
Sour Stomach
Stopped at Once With Pure Willow
Charcoal, the Greatest Gas
Absorber Known.

There Is no necessity to suffer the
humiliation, chagrin and discomfort Of
bad breath. biliousness, sour stomach,
gastritis. sluggish liver, ETC., when a
little iozenze of charcoal will cleanse
the stomach and make it pure and
sweet.
Do not drug yourself when a simple
little natural charcoal made from fra
grant willow branches. sweetened with
honey, will ad tone to your stomach,
liver and intestines rapidly absorb
gases and stop foul odors of all kinds.
Charcoal will absorb one hundred
times It's own volume in gas. A box
full Of charcoal placed in bed room
will keep the air of such q room pure
and sweet.
A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on
the tongue after meals will also keep
the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal
Is justly called the scrubbing brush for
the stomach. The old monks Of medic
val times cured bad cases OF stomach
troubles, cast out devils from the sys-
TEN of man by feeding such man
charcoal.
Scientific men Of today believe In the
great strength Of charcoal for the cure
OF human ills. Too much of it cannot
harm one. The system Graves it just
like an animal needs and Graves salt

stomach gently and is welcome, II
settles down through the action OF the
stomach. and filters through all the
food, absorbing gas. aiding digestion
and giving tone to the juices. SO that
when the food goes into the intestines

A bill introduced by Representative

purpose of curing a political tangle
In German township. that county, met
the az yesterday in the house. I'm
der the present law the legal resi-
dence of the inmates of a county in
Urinary Is in the township In which
the infirmary is situated. This gives
the political crowd that controls
things an opportunity to vote these
inmates at elections and control the
politics Of that particular township.
Who ever controls the infirmary can
vote the inmates. Shaefer's bill pro-
posed to change this and make the
legal residents of inmates of a coun-
ty infirmary the township which sent
them to the infirmary and not the
township in which the infirmary is
situated. But the bill was killed. and

There was a lively time in the
house yesterday, when the Bassett
omployers liability bill was up for
passage. The bill was defended by
Representatives Bassett and Kleckner
who ssid they represented organized
labor in the effort to have the bill
passed. Several members denounced
The bill as entirely too drastic, among
them being Wise, of Plymouth; Wick

speeches explaining their votes. The
bill provided that an employee might
recover damages from his employer If
he was injured In any manner what

It proposed to do away with the pre-
sent law on contributory negligence.
Representative Elliott. Of st. Joseph
county, said he represented perhaps
the largest manufacturing c0mmun

that the working people of his county

a Putting Tip From St. Andrews

\ Putting Tip From St. Andrews.
A man on his first visit to st. An
drews was much impressed By the
high standard Of efficiency which he
saw displayed on the green's by those
with whom he played. He studied the
actions Of these heroes to see If he
could discover any common feature in
their methods. At last he saw light.
He observed that they al hold the left
hand more under the club when put
ting than they did whom driving.
From this he deduced a rule Of con-
duct-"see the finger nails Of the left
hand when addressed to the ball" For
the rest Of his stay, and 1t may be for
some time afterward, his own putting
