SWAMP ONCE WHERE COAL
LANDS IN ILLINOIS ARE

Washington, Aug. 6.-Illinois In the
paleozoic time-that is, millions OF
years before the great glacier, coming
from the north, covered the area
lay beneath a great inland sea, mud
and lime, that since have hardened
INTO sandstone, shale and limestone.
There also were times when most of
the state was a swamp, in which were
accumulated beds of peat that were
later buried and pressed and trans
formed into coal.
These statements and others equally
interesting are found in report just
issued by the national geological sur
vey, prepared in cooperation with the
Illinois state geological survey by
Professor T. II. Savage, representing
the state survey, and Z. w. Shaw the
federal survey.
The report coyers the coal deposits
and other mineral resources of the
AGRA known as the Springfield ana
Tallula quadralgles, covering about
430 square miles in central Illinois
| The geologic activities which formed
| the wonderful. coal deposits in the
I section are described. as is the soil
and the wafer supply.

Messrs. Norton & Lambert pro

cognizant of the fact that people

as those of New York and Chicago.
With this point in view, they have
launched on the road rThe Girl
and the Stampede" complete in its
scenic detail, its high class artists
bringing into your midst complete
production-sparing no expense to
give the patrons of the smaller
theatrical Cities the same advan-

with the assurance that you will get
your moneys worth in first class

You Have Nasal Catarrh
Not Very Bad, Butt
1t BotherS You a Good Deal.

Some people have nasal catarrh
and know 1t. Not only the patient
knows 1t. but all of his friends know
1t. Many people know 1t that are not
his friends. Just those people who
happen to meet him in the street car
or on the public square.
That sort of a nasal catarrh need
not be described. Everybody knows
the symptoms without their disgust
ing recital.
Peruna helps such cases every day.
Thousands have attested to this fact
unsolicited. Peruna benefits even the
worst cases OF old nasal catarrh.
But there are cases of nasal ca
tarrh not so evident. One nostril Is
stopped today. The other nostril is
stopped tomorrow. Cannot breathe
freely through the nostrils. Easy to
sneeze. Mucus In the nose too thick.
Sometimes forms brownish Jumps.
Catch cold easily. Never quite free
Of a cold. These symptoms describe
n case Of subacute nasal catarrh.
Many people have 1t. and some who
would not admit they have nasal ca
tarrh.
He knows he must blow his nose
freely. He remembers that he does
not breathe easily through the nose.

ROAD IN RURAL COMMUNITIES
Ever Recurring Problem Of upkeep
Can, In Large Measure, Be Solved
by Use Of Road Drag.

(By II. II. FLINT. University Farm. 81.
Paul. Mimi
Because of its cheapness the earth
road is. and for many years to come
will continue to be. the most common
form of road in use in rural communi-
ties. The ever recurring problem Of
upkeep on such roads can. In a large
measure, be solved by the use OF the
so-called split-log drag. which can be
constructed as shown In the accom-
panying picture by any one who has
suitable material at hand. A log is
not necessary, or perhaps not desir
able. for its construction. Choose four
pieces of plank of some strong wood,
such as elm or red fir. two inches
thick and eight feet long. Two OF
them should be ten or twelve inches
In width. but the other two may be
narrower as shown In the picture.
since they are simply bolted to the
backs OF the wider planks for rein
forcement. II planks three and a half
or four inches thick can conveniently
be obtained. a single thickness OF
them should be used, instead OF build
Ing up as shown in the cut In any
case. the drag can be put together
The record., 1913-11-06

He recalls the fact that he snores
some now. whereas he did not pre-
viously.
Subacute nasal catarrh. Or we
might call It incipient nasal catarrh.
Or. still better. nasal catarrh Just be-
ginning and becoming chronic.
Now Is the time to take Peruna.
A little Peruna will do wonders at
this stage Of the disease. SNUFF a lit
tie weak salt water every morning
(see Ills of Life" sent free by Pc
runa Co. Columbus. Ohio), Just
enough to clear out the nose. Take
dose Of Peruna before breakfast.
Hold 1t In the mouth. Let II tricklc
down slowly and breathe the fumes
OF 1t out through the nose as you
swallow It,
This will stop an incipient case Of
nasal catarrh in few weeks. Stop
IL entirely. The nose becomes clear
again. The breath Is sweet. The
breathing free. No more snoring, or
snufIling. or smiling. or catching
cold easily. All OF these things are
in the past.
An army Of men and women have
been benefited by Peruna- You might
as well become one of the benefited
ones as to allow 1t to go on any
further.

Road Drag.

with round poles wedged into auger
holes as shown. or the crosspieces
may be set In with mortise and tenon
Joints and kept tight by long bolts
reaching through the front and back
planks.
A piece of iron about three and
one-half feet long. three or four inches
wide and one-fourth Of an inch thick
should be used for blade. BY
means of bolts with fiat. counter-sunk
heads. this blade should be attached
to the front plank in such a manner
that its edge will project a half-lnch
below the plank at the ditch end,
while the end of the iron toward the
middle OF the road should be flush
with the edge of the plank. II the
face of the plank stands plumb 1t will
be well to wedge out the bottom of the
iron with wedge-shaped piece of
wood to give the Iron set similar to
that OF a plane bit.
A platform of inch boards cleated
together. with cracks an inch wide
between the boards to prevent dirt
from collecting on top. is placed on
the cross-pieces Of the drag to furnish
q platform for the driver. This plat
form should rest upon the cross
pieces between the planks without be-
ing fastened to the drag. 1t is not
shown In the illustration.
Any chain having the strength Of
trace chain may be used to draw the
drag and should be attached as shown
in the picture. but the proper posi-
tion for attaching the doubletrees
must be determined by experiment
and will vary with the kind of work
done. The chain should be about nine
feet long for a drag of the size shown
In the cut and should have the eye
for the clevis put In about three feet
from the end. The chain attaches by
means of an eyebolt. as shown in the
picture, to the ditch or blade end OF
the drag. The other end of the chain
should finish with a grabhook for use
in adjusting the length of the hitch
after the chain is passed around the
cross-piece at the road end OF the
drag.
Commonly the drag should follow
the team at an angle of about forty
five degrees with their line of travel.
to cause the dirt to move steadily and
freely along the faces Of the planks
from the ditch toward the center OF
the road. In every case the anglo at
which the drag will travel can be gov.
erned by the position of the hitch.
which Ia changed within reasonable
limits by lengthening OF shortening
the chain. and by the position of the
driver on the drag. A very little ex-
perience will enable anyone to adjust
these things satisfactorily.
