MAY BUY CAPITAL CAR LINES.

Washington, Sept. i-Municipal ownership of street railways in the nations capital, either by purchase or condemnation, was provided in a bill yesterday introduced in the House by Robert Crosser of Ohio.
 Throwing off the yoke of private monopoly in the District of Colum- bia." Crosser said, would serve as an object lesson for every city in the United States" Explaining his plan. the congressman said:
 Municipal ownership of street railways in the United States IS a certainty in the very near future. The question is, shall it be here and now? I am inclined to answer yes. I believe Washington offers an excellent opportunity to test the principle of municipal ownership.
 There are no constitutional re- strictions to contend with as is the ease in most of the states. We are, therefore. in a position to acquire the properties of the railways by condemnation proceedings if they refuse to sell at a reasonable price. That means that the city of Wash ingtOn would get the street railways 'at their real value. Municipal own ership of street railways here or elsewhere would result in greatly improved service and reduced cost

G. NJ. Grandstatf still holds the place as champion fly catcher of Waldron. Tuesday morning his trap. which has been doing service all summer in front of his res laurant. showed a very large catch from three days duty.

The trap contained two gall Ions of flies. and as gallon con- lains 23i cubic inches there were i62 cubic inches of flies. A cubic inch contains approximately 500 nies-weA, figure il up for your self, but that means approXlmately 369,000 flies put out Of business then and there.-Waldron Advance Reporter.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING


Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common In
this country is due to .hasty and
careless habits Of eating. Stomach
troubles and/run-down conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, Of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
81 have been troubled with q bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that I could hardly
walk OF do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles Of Vinol I find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and I have gained In
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves Of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle Of vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned IL it does not help you.
