CURE THAT CATARRH
Howell

Our climate with its sudden changes
is conducive to catarrh-which is
a chronic Inflammation of the mucous
membrane surface OF head-nose or
throat.
One months local treatment with
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic will con-
vince the most skeptical that Paxtine
is not palliative but specific for all
catarrhal conditions.
Paxtine is a perfectly harmless an
tiseptic and germicide in powder form
which contains all of the antiseptic
qualities of liquid antiseptics, but
with other valuable cleansing, germi-
cidal and healing ingredients added.
Just a little in glass of water as
.eeded-used as a spray, and gargle,
will not only remove the accumulated
secretions, but heals the Inflammation,
destroys the germs of disease, and dis
pels the disagreeable odor caused by
chronic catarrh

NOT ANNOYED, OF COURSE
Capt. Butt Was Merely Giving to His
Friend a Few Philosophical
Reflections.

Capt Archibald w. Butt, the presl-
dents military aide, was called out OF
bed at nine o'clock one morning to
answer telephone call.
Archie said his friend on the
other end of the wire, Il called you
up to tell you that l shall not be able
to keep the appointment | made with
you for eleven o'clock today"
Pm sorry" said Butt, his tone
trifle chilly
Yes; it's too bad" agreed the
other.
There ensued an ominous pause.
You know" remarked Butt senten-
tiously, "telephoning seems TO be a
habit, a bad habit, in Washington.
People are beginning to issue their
invitations by telephone. They phone
on the slightest prOvocation. They
don't seem to know when not to tele-
phone They even get you out of bed
to talk to you on the telephone
I'm afraid 1 annoyed you, and
you're bawling me out" said the
friend
"Oh. no." contradicted Butt in a
louder tone MY remarks are merely
a few philosophical reflections induced
by the early hour of the morning. -

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
juring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
L suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart with
severe nervous heads cnes and neu-
ralgia; but although incs pacitated
at times for my lorsework, l did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me-
This distressed me very much, as
I was q widow ana had child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that 1 wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened TO
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
fitted by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. I grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
My health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to ny out of my mouth!
Then I again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.
1T was seven years ago that 1 be-
gan to use Postum and 1 am using it
still. and shall continue to do so, as
md 1t guarantee of good health.

When my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran e
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin

PETROLEUM FOUND -
IN SAN LUIS VALLEY

The announcement Sunday MORN
ing Of an Oil flow in the Mosca oil
well attracted visitors from all
parts of the valley to the scene,
and all returning visitors whom the
Empire reporter has seen, say that
there is no doubt that the existence
Of crude Oil in merchantable guam
titles has been proven in the San
Luis valley.
Oil was reached last Friday after
noon, but the fact was withheld
from the public until some of the
directors could be called upon the
scene. It was learned that Mr..
Williams, in charge of the boring
enterprise, estimates that about six
or seven barrels flowed from the
we'll in twenty minutes. He con-
tinued the drill, but soon found
difficulty in driving further and
finally all but failed to remove the
drill from its fastening.
Losing the tools four different
times and changing the casing to a
smaller size, necessitates redrilling
the well, and arrangements are be-
ing made to commence this work
las soon as possible.
Mr.. Williams said the flow would
amount to 800 barrels per day, es-
timated on the short time that the
well flowed, but that a fair esti-
mate could not be made without a
flow Of longer duration. 30
The product is pronounced by
oil men as very superior crude
petroleum. Stockholders were dis
cussing the situation Sunday even
ing, when they valued their stock
all the way from soc to one dollar
a share. They paid from three to
seven and half cents for the
stock.

Linemen ard electricians are busily
engaged this week in installing new
selective call and dispatching system in
the local I. & W. N. depot. E. K. Dyre,
an electrical engineer of Seattle. who is
installing the system, put in an elabor-
ate system of storage batteries and switch
boards in the dispatchers' Office at Spirit
Lake. As soon as the system is installed
all along the line and in good working
order, system of train dispatching by
telephone will be inaugurated.
An employe of the company wishing
to speak to another must first ring the
dispatcher's Office, and the dispatcher
in turn turns switch which cores
ponds to the stations number. and this
sets in motion the mechanical work of
the stations phone. By this syetem the
only phone that rings is the one wanted,
which saves time and csnfusion of or
ders. A portable telephone will be car
ried on all trains. and in cases of neces-
sity all that is necessary is to attach it
and call mp the dispatcher.
By installing this system of telephone
train dispatching it will be seen that the
Blackwell people are doing all in their
power to maintain the high standard of
their road and have everything up-to-
date IN all departments.
