Mudespaush Mines Sold to the Clara.

Reports in circulation in this city for several days that the big Mud espaugh mines had been taken over by the Clara Consolidated, were confirm ed yesterday by arrivals from Swan sea. The consideration is given at 25O,0OOS. The mines purchased are situated about eleven miles from Bouse, in a southerly direction, and the operating of the company is al- ready under way by the purchasing company.
 The ores of the Mudespsugh are a sulphide, carrying gold, silver and copper, and desirable condition as sociated with the product is its adap- liability for Aux for the ores of the Clara. In addition to this, the values are also said to be heavy in the above mineral com bination and during the many years the property was under operation several shipments were made that gave good results.
 The freighting of the ores to Bouse is to begin at once by Jack Trenberth, who has the contract, and from that delivery point, the output will be shipped by rail to the shelter at. Swansea. The transaction has at tracted considerable comment on the desert on account of the prominence of the property and the large price al- legged to have been paid.-Prescott, Journal Miner.

The proposed Thigh line" through the Meadow valley wash on the line of the Salt Lake Route to preclude the possibility of the disastrous washouts which have upon previous occasions tied up the road for months, seem to be assuming tangible form. Five en- gineering parties are in the field at various points in Meadow valley. News that a route has been selected and work commenced would be receiv- ed with little surprise here.

CAREFULLY
Interests Everyone Who Has
Dyspepsia, indigestion or
Any Form Of Storn-
ach Trouble.

Some sufferers from stomach trouble
have no appetite and even the sight Of
food is distasteful to them Others have
ravenous appetite. The last condition
is worse than the first for the continual
overlooking OF the stomach further weak
ems that organ, the food lies undigested,
gas forms and the body becomes bloated
The blood, instead OF obtaining nourish-
ment from the digestive system, is poison
ed by it and pains spread to the back,
the head and other portions OF the body.
Like the other organs the stomach calls
upon the blood for strength and nolrish-
ment to sustain it in it's daily work. Ii
nov receives a supply loaded with poi
sons, or toxins, as they are called.
Thus the stomach poisons itself, pro-
cess known. by physicians as "auto-in-
toxication,' or self-poisoning.
When this condition is reached there is
one way to remedy it and that is to free
the blood from these poisons and then,
by rich, pure supply OF blood, to build
up the strength OF the weakened stomach
and bowels to do the work required OF
them. DR.. Williams, Pink Pills combat
the poisons in the blood and enable it to
restore the digestive organs to health and
strength. The best proof is cure like
the following:

wounded soldier in service and his
needy family at home an angel of
mercy. Woman-her heart, tender,
kind and loving, instinctively found
ways of assisting to care for the sick
and wounded in the hospitals and on
the hattlefields, while in the villages
and cities was she active in relieving
the wants of the war widows and or
phans. All over the land were organic
ed Soldiers Aid Societies, which
were great sources of supply to the
Christian and Sanitary Commissions,
which in turn were under the govern
ment patronage for collecting and dis
tributing supplies. Large sums OF
money were raised and expended, and
countless lives saved by this direct
movement of patriotic northern wo-
men during the terrible war.
At the close of the war the Grand
Army of the Republic organized to
promulgate Fraternity, Charity and
Loyalty, and labored hard to aid I'M
fortunate comrades, but so small an
organization was almost powerless
before the great demands upon its
treasury
Ten years after the war this coun-
try faced a great financial panic, the
veterans suffered greatly from fail
ing health, wounds and other trou-
bles which follow war; everywhere
was the cry for bread, while soldiers
widows hunted for work in vain.
Again, woman came to the rescue.
Almost simultaneously, Massachu-
sets and Ohio offered assistance;
Massachusetts working Kinder the
name of the Woman's Relief Corps,
Ohio under that of the Post Ladies
Aid Society. This was in 1S7s-'7s.

honor of the first usage of the name
of Relief Corps, in 1863. under the
name of Bosworth Relief Corps No.
which is still in existence. Then az

Woman's State Relief Corps was
formed, and in 1880 the State Rellel

proving the organization of Nation
al Woman's Relief Corps, and that
such Woman's Relief Corps be known
as Auxiliary to the Grand Army OF
the Republic.
In 1888, Communicated Van
der WORT actively advanced this or
ganization. In his extensive travels
he urged upon all Posts the impor-
lance of these auxiliaries and called
public attention to prominent wo-
men who would assist in organizing
Corps. He engaged the Washington
National Tribune in the work and
Kate B. Sherwood was made editor
of the woman's department of the
Tribune. lnus, under Paul Van der
WORT in Denver, in 1883, the National
Woman's Relief Corps was formed
working under the name, Ritual R. &
R. Union Board of w. r. C. of the
department of Massachusetts.
From this small band of workers
has spread an order which according
to the recent report of Sennie l..
Berry, now numbers 1926, an in
crease of 20 Corps and 3,149 members
since the report of 1909.

For instance-the sending of over
$500 to beautify the graves of sol
diers who lie in the Southland. Or
| the movement to reinstate delinquent
Post members by the donation of
money to the Posts by Corps for
the payment of dues for veterans who
are unable to meet this obligation.
Then too, at Christmas time, the
army nurses are not forgotten, 46
needy army nurses were each pre-
scented with $40 last Christmas, MAX
ing 1920 expended on these noble wo-
men,
Then again-we have through our
Jennie l. Berry at the last Encamp-
ment held at Atlantic City, turned ov-
er to the government the deeds to
Andersonville prison property. Six
teen years ago this property was

of Georgia, to our National President,
Iizabeth A. Turner Since that time
much labor and money have been de-
voted to the task of beautifying and
preserving this historic prison and

spot, we can point out the close of a

No doubt all of you are familiar
F., with the work of the Memorial Uni
versity and although last years con-
tributions were not what they should
have been, yet as Mrs. Berry says, it
is hoped that whereas the expense
of maintaining the Andersonville
prison property is removed that the
University may be the gamer.
Upon the loyal women of this land
depends the incubation of patriotism
in the minds ana hearts of our
youths and maidens. To quote anoth-
