HOW FRENCH PEOPLE
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting of pure vegetable
oil, and said to possess wonderful merit
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles, has been introduced
in this country by George II. Mayr, who
for twenty years has been one of the
leading down town druggists of Chi
cago and who himself was cured by its
use. So quick and effec:iv. is its action
that a single desc is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases, and many people who
have tried it declare they never heard
of anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short a time. 1t is known
as Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy
and can now be had at almost any drug
store. 1t is now sold here by
q. L. Countzler.

WILLARD HOPEFUL

line. 1t has been said that the
ra lroadS are not alone in being
obliged to pay higher rates for

the majority Of them are private en-
terprises. The railroads, while built

EMERGENCY SERVICE
B. & 0. FIRE FIGHTERS
Organized to Protect Railroad and
Other Property-May Stop Train
to Fight Fire.

by virtue Of a circular issued by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad TO
its employer the men working for
that company are to be constituted
into a vast organization Of freight
ers, ready Tor emergency service in
protecting the property of the public
and that Of the railroad against de-
struction by flames.
Employees In train service and 9th.
ers whose duties require them to
travel over the property are urged by
the management to maintain a con-
stant vigil against fire, either on the
property OF the railroads neighbors
CT along it's own right-of-way. Sug-
gest1ons concerning precautions
against fires are requested of the
employees.
In the event that fires be discover
ed by engineers, conductors or other
employees in train service, they are
pre-emptorily authorized by the com
pany to lend assistance in extinguish-
ing the blaze; but the regulation re-
qulres that in such emergency aUy de-
lay occasioned by assisting in putting
out fire must be reported at the
first telegraph station.
While the regulation concerning
the suppression Of fires has in view
primarily the protection Of railroad
property, the Baltimore and Ohio
urges it's men to take a broad inter
est In the communities in which they
reside so that at all times they may
render assistance OF direct benefit to
society. In the cities and towns, d.
vision points ahd terminals the rail-
road has provided fiTe-6ghting ap-
paratus for the use Of employees in
emergency cases, and to increase
the efficiency of such protection the
men are drilled in order that they
keep themselves on the alert. Num-
erous instances have been reported
Of railroading forces preventing ser
ious fire destruction
The campaign waged by the Balti-
moro and Ohio against fire losses ex-
tends beyond the employees to the
mechanical operations Of the proper
ty. Locomotive stacks have been
equipped with spark nettings to pre-
vent partjclas Of fire from being
scattered along the right-of-way or
on adjojniEI property and the fire
crates In the engines are so design
ed that rot Goals are not dropped
along the tracks. In the ends Of sid
ings where locomotives usually stand
when waiting to pass trains, wooden
ties haT; been replaced by steel ties
for the prevention of fire.

HIGHEST POINT
IN FOOD PRICES
For Two Years, According to Dun's
Index Number Occasioned by
War in Europe.

AS result Of the sharp rise in
comm odity prices occasioned by the
war in Europe. Duns Index Mum.
her on September l reached the high
est point attained in about two wears
and a half The total on that date
being $126,975, against $120,740 on
August l and $122,O53 on September
l, 1913. The present figure has not
been equalled since the beginning Of
May, 1912, when the compilation
showed $12S,9S6. Until the opening
Of the current month, the general
trend Of values of the leading ar
t!cleS Of consumption had been down
ward this year, and the recent rapid
advance in quotations may be attri-
buted almost wholly to the abnormal
conditions created by developments
abroad. Importations of many pro-
ducts have materially diminished or
ceased entirely and this naturally has
had strengthening effect, while the
Increased foreign demands for do
mestic breadstuffs have been reflected
n a violent upturn in the grain mar
kets. On the other hand, cotton has
declined sharply because OF the pro-
rounced falling off in the export
movement and certain lines Of finish
e1 goods are cheaper in consequence.
Of the seven separate divisions in
TO which the Index Number is dvid-
ed, ali, save two, disclosed more or
less gain on September l as compar-
ed with August /, while the same
is true with regard to the statement
for September, 1913. Examination |
of the returns indicate that in com
parison with the preceding month |
there was some recession in meats |
and clothing, the difference in the |
former group being due to the lower |
cost of beef In clothing, the de- |
cline was confined solely to the raw
materials, notably on cotton, quota |
tons Of which are largely nominal. |
An advance Of about 16 per cent in
the class embracing breadstuffs mark
ed the greatest change in that direc-
tion, wheat being 22c a bushel dear
er than on August 1 corn, 4 1-2c a |
bushel; oats 8 3-4c a bushel; barley
zoe a bushel, and rye 81 1-4c a bush
el higher than on the earlier date.
Moreover, both beans and peas rose
sharply,
While the reduction In provisions
was accounted for mainly by the down
ward trend Of beef, a lower level was
also reached for pork, sheep and !
lard, whereas there was more or less
upturn In bacon, ham, hogs and tai
low. Advances were rather pro-
nounced in the groups including dairy |
and garden products and other food.

night was declared by referee Hugh

clever but not very hard hitters. Only
shade of difference was noted be-

his feet better and landed his blows
more accurately, while Nandermark
was very good in defense. The match
lasted six rounds of two minutes each
with one minute intermision between
each round No rough play was at

to keep their feet as they fought on
sand floor instead OF a mat. a
three-round preliminary bout was
staged by O. Shanghalt and George

FINES GOeTO SCHOOLS.
Districts Receive Library Money from
the County Treasury.

Few people in Michigan seem to
know just what becomes OF the
money received by the county from
justices by a money compensation
rather than serving time in jails.
These fines go into the county library
fund and the money is distributed to
the townships and then to those
school districts which have voted to
establish Libraries.
The apportionment of this fund is
made according to the number Of
children on the census list in the va
rious townships and districts, the lists
being furnished the county and town
ship officers by the Superintendent OF
Public Instruction. After the coun-
ty clerk finds out the amount per
capita in the county treasury, he no
tihes the township clerks OF the total
amount of library money, the amount
per capita and the amount to be
drawn by that township. The town
ship clerk then apportions this
amount among those districts which
have voted to establish Libraries, ac-
cording to the list of pupils sent him
by the Department and notifies the
director of each district of the
amount.
In cases of fractional districts, Ii
brary money like the primary, is ap-
portioned directly to the district
through the township in which the
schoolhouse is located

NEW CHURCH PROPERTY.

An important real estate deal was
closed in Breckenridge this week by
which the Methodist Episcopal church
society became the owner of the resi-
dence property of Miss Edna Van
Deusen on South Third street.
The commodious new dwelling
house completed by Miss Van Deusen
last summer will be used as a parson-
age and the large vacant space on the
south side of the lot is intended for
a church site, where the society plans
TO erect a new church edifice during
the coming year.
The old church, built some twenty
FIVE years ago, has become too small
for present day congregations, and
the society has for some time de-
sired to secure a location where
church and parsonage could be sit
uated on the same premises.
The old church is now being given
much needed repairs, and the society
is holding its services in the Baptist
church-American.
