OVERCOME BY GAS
IN ROOM IN HOTEL
Virginian Accidentally Turns
Jet Too Far When He
RetireS.

Accidentally overcome by illuminating
gas, James E. Walthall, thirty-five
years old, of Clifton Forge, Va, was
found unconscious shortly before
o'clock this morning in a room on the
second floor OF small hotel at 46S Penn
sylvania avenue northwest. He was
taken in an ambulance to the Emer-
gency Hosp tal where he soon regained
consciousness.
WalthaIl a. ived in Washington yester-
day. He spent the evening with friends,
going TO his room about 1870 o'clock.
This morning Pete Nicholas, the clerk,
detected the odor OF gas which he traced
to WalthalPs room. The door was
locked and Nicholas had to remove the
transom to get in.
Gas was flowing from a partially open
jet. Walthall, dressed in his night
clothing. was lying on the bed. The
window was closed, but a broken pane
Of glass allowed considerable fresh air
to get into the room. and probably saved
the mans life.
After recovering consciousness, Walt
hall said that he must have turned the
thumbscrew on the gas jet too far after
extinguishing the light last night, and
being tired, went to sleep before noticing
the gas

A Great Aid in the Ddiry

Professor Deans first advice to
dairymen is-"Clean the pals, cans
and separators thoroughly. at least
once or twice a day"
Soap and water remove surface dirt
but they do not thoroughly remove all
the little germs which sour and taint
the milk. The greatest of all cleans
ers is Gold Dust washing powder. 1t
not only removes all the visible dirt
and grease, but goes deep after every
trace of impurity, and leaves the milk
pals, cans and bottles really clean,
wholesome and safe. Moreover, it
does the work more quickly and
easily than any other cleanser known.

Consumers of German
Monopoly.

Possibility OF the United States pro-
ducing potash salts is to be Investigated
fully this year, according to the

ASOUR, Classy, UPSET STOMACH

Belching of Gas. Eructations Of sour.

Dizziness, Constipation and other
Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia
or an out-of-order stomach with the
common, everyday cures advertised
that they have about made up their
minds that they have something else
wrong. or believe theirs is a case of
Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the
Stomach or Cancer.
This. no doubt is q serious mistake
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead, it ferments
and sOurs, turns to acid, Gas and
Stomach poison. which putrefy in the
digestive tract and intestines, and. be-
sides, poison the breath with nauseous
odors.
A hearty appetite. with thorough di-

comfort or misery of the Stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you decide

anything you can eat without the

Marriage

Marriage seems to be failure In
Bingville of late in spite of the fact that
Rev. Samuel Moore has offered to mar
ny couples cheaper than they can get
married anywhere else in the county In
order to get business and encourage
matrimony.
Why this scarcity of marriages h
Bingville?
Is it because the young women of this
age and generashion are so accustomed
to ease and luxury that our young men
are afeard that they can't support their
wives in the manner to which they have
been accustomed? We fear this Is the
case Things have come to such pass
that unless young man is making sew
en- or eight dollars per week he hesi-
tates about getting married lest be can't
support his wife in luxury. He pauses,
as Il were between love and duty. This
is too bad Girls, you ought to be

Some of the members of the
Bingville church is turrible devoted
to their religion. They go to church
reglar every Sunday morning and
set in their favorite pews and go to
sleep and after the service they
shake hands with the paster and go
back home feeling uplifted and bet
ter and nobuller.
But they don't seem to remem-
Der that a man who breaches the

Salvashion is free but preacher
can't live on salvashion. He likes
to have mess of pork and beans

bers of the Bingville church think
it's worth something to them to
have their souls saved for them and
to be prayed for like Rev. Moore
prays for them? If Rev. Moore
didn't pray for them who would?
There is some persons belongs to
the Bingville church which anv
person would be almost ashamed
to pray for. We are not ment-
chioning any names in this editorial,
but unless the members of the Bing-
vile church pays Rev. Moore some
thing on his sa1ery and pays it
soon We will give some facts rela-
tive to some of the leading tight
wads of the Bingville church which
they will have no hankering to see
