Oldfield's Speed Record Beaten.

e Carter in Outing
The automobile is the swiftest ma
chine ever built by human hands. It
is so much swifter than its nearest
competitor that those who read these
Hines to-day are likely to be some
years older before its speed is even
equaled, to say nothing of being sur
passed, by any other kind Of vehicle.
So far as is known, but one human
being ever travelled faster than Bar
ney Oldfield did in his racing auto on
the beach at Daytona, Fla, on March
Is, 1910 This solitary exception was
a Hindoo carrier who Glanced to tum-
BILE off the brink of chasm in the
Himalayas. His name has not been
preserved, he never made any claim
to the record, he was not officially
timed, and, altogether, the event has
no official standing. Still, as he is
the only man who is even. alleged to
have covered so great a distance as
5000 feet in an unobstructed fall, the
matter is not without interest; for,
according to the accepted rule for
finding the velocity of a body falling
freely from rest, he must have been
going at the rate of seven miles a Sec
ond when he reached the bottom.

BURIED colo NUGGETS.

Buried in Idaho somewhere along
the old overland trail to Oregon is
a hoard of thousands Of dollars o.
Montana gold nuggets, which some
Idaho farmer may stumble across.
In the early COS a party of about
twenty men packed into Montana
from Oregon prospecting for gold.
Their search ended at the confluence
of Poor Mans creek and Mcclellan
creek forty-five miles west of Helena.
1t was late in the fall when they ar
rived, and, having plenty of food,
they determined to remain and mine
during the winter.
The members of the party were in
dustrious, and took out gold at the
rate of $500 a set. A set of ground
can be worked out in a day by two
miners, so that the Oregon men
cleaned up at the rate of 5000 a daya
man. Along in the following sum-
mer the placers were worked out,
and the party, having amassed thou
sands of dollars, pulled out to re-
/ turn to Oregon.
Their pack train was heavily load
ed, and they we're compelled to trav-
ell slowly. News of their coming
with the panniers filled with gold trav.
eled ahead of them, and party OF
highwaymen organized to waylay
them and secure the booty. At point
along the Oregon trail in Idaho d
midnight raid was made by the ROAD
agents. Every gold seeker save one
was killed. and he was so badly
wounded that he was left for dead
Hastily rounding up the pack train
and loading it, the bandits struck out
Shortly after they had left two pros.
pectors came by and discovered the
dead miners. The wounded man
gasped out what had happened and
fell back dead. Not waiting to inter
the bodies, the two prospectors swift
ly notified other prospectors, who liv
ed in the vicinity, and all started al
ter the robbers.
After trailing them two days, the
pursuers caught the robbers, but the
latter had cached the gold taker
from the miners. All but one of the
road agents were hanged on the spot
and the life of one was spared OF
condition that he would return to the
D., cache and divulge it's location to the
vigilantes. The road agent led the
way quickly enough to the approx
mate location of the cache, and ther
was either unwilling or unable to re
veal it's precise location. The vigil
antes negotiated with him nearl!
three weeks, and then, their patience
failing, they hanged him. With The
road agents persisted the secret o
the whereabouts of the gold.-Helen'

ACTUAL STARVATION
Facts About Indigestion and its
Relief that Should Interest
You.

Although indigestion and dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their u and
cure. There is no reason why most
people should not eat anything they de-
sire-if they will only chew it carefully
and thoroughly. Many actually starve
themselves into sickness through fear
of eating every ~good-looking, good
smelling and good-tasting food, because
it does not agree with them.
The best thing to do Is to fit yourself
to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve dyspep-
STA, We are SO confident of this fact
that we guarantee and promise to sup
DIV the medicine free of all cost to ev-
eryone who will use it who is not salts
fed with the results which it produces.
We exact no promises, and put 10 n
under any obligation whatever. Surely
nothing could be fairer. We are loca-
ted right here and our reputation should
be sufficient assurance of the genuine
ness of our offer.
We want everyone troubled with in
digestion or dyspepsia in any form to
come to our store and buy a box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them
home and give them a reasonable trial
according to directions. Then, if not
| satisfied, come to us and get your
money back. They are very pleasant
to take; they aid to soothe the irritable
stomach, to strengthen and invigorate
the digestive organs, and to promote a
healthy and natural bowel action, thus
leading to perfect, healthy digestion
and assimilation.
A Csc package of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets furnishes Is days treatment
In ordinary cases, this is enough te
produce a cure. In more chronic cases,
a longer treatment, of course, is nee
essary, and depends upon the severity
of the trouble. For such cases we
have two larger sizes, which sell fol
Soc and 81.
Remember, you can obtain Rexal
Remedies in this community only a
