Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. DR.. Miles Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

with such conviction in his tore that Jed
was impressed in spite of himself, lis q
queer bird, and it requires queer treat
ment to cook it. If l tell you jest how it
is done, like enough you'll think it's all
foolishness, and make fun Of me for be-
levin such things. But I'm goin' to
chance it, and tell you.
''Fust place, Caleb went on, ''you'v We
got to let the loon hang in draft some

get a lot of white-ash roots, mot the
trunk wood, but the roots, and make
you fire, and let it burn down to Goals

tie about half full of pond water-spring

b'ilin' a loon. Next thing you want to
do is to hunt round and find brick; and
after you've put your loon in the kittle,
you just shove that brick down into the
kittle endways jest as easy as you can,
and make sure the brick rests on the end
on the bottom of the kittle. You cook
your loon that way, and you won't have
any trouble
''But," objected the thoroughly puz-
zled Jed, chow in tunket is man goin'
to tell how long to cook it?''
''Sure enough" replied Caleb, and his
smile deepened and widened in hearty
chuckle. "You orter know how long to
cook it. Wal, Jeddie, you jest keep it

HOW TO COOK A LOON.

Before Caleb Peaslee had turned to
farming, he had filled various inches in
life, sailor, fisherman, woodsman, OK
teamster, and cook, and he was prouder
of his success as camp and woods cook
than of all his other accomplishments
combined. Many were the strange
dishes that he could describe in detail
''lignum" and "long hash" and camp
chowder" among them, and very
precise were his directions for cooking
each dish.
"Now llgnum, said he, impressively,
holding Jed Gipson with a faded, al
though shrewd, blue eye, chats suthln'
YOU never get in the woods till you're
about ready to break camp, and come
out in the spring. Then some fine,
warm yeller day the cook'll get up
mess of lignum, and when ne does-you
hear me-the crew'll eat. When you
m Ike lignum, you hunt round and get
little of everything in the camp, and
put it into the big kittle, and cook it till
it's done. You want to put in every
thing all together, Eaters and beef
and pork and turnips, if you have EN-

git into the lignum kittle once, and the
crew eat more'n half of it before they
knowed what it was They wouldn't
have knowed then if one of the men
hadn't found the lacin' of the moccasln
laced through the holes
"Accordin' to that, then,", Jed leased
the old man, "you can tender up most
any kind of meat by runnin' it through a
lignum kittle. Did ye ever try it on
wild game ? Deer and ducks and coots
and such truck ~

FROM A BELFAST MAN IN THE WEST

CHICAGO, April 10, 1914. In common
with all good citizens of Belfast am
| very much pleased with the result of the
municipal election and l hope we have
got rid of Hanson forever. l read the
doings of the Democratic convention in
Portland, and he certainly did get down
on his knees and bow his face in the
dust and implore the convention to be
taken back. am glad they did take
him back, for we do not want him in the
Republican party.
The enclosed slip tells you of the en-
dorsement the Wilson administration got
in New Jersey (noted in The Journal last
week. and l think that in the Northern
andWestern States there will be the same
endorsement, and that when Con-
gress meets next March the House will
be of a different complexion.
All over the United States the army of
the unemployed is growing larger. Bus
mess conditions are growing worse. Rail
roads are suffering from lack Of business
and not being allowed to advance their
rates to keep pace with the very large
increase in the cost of running their
roads, and it will not be long before the
people will wake up and realize what the
trouble is; and when the operatives that
have been turned out of numerous indus
tries realize what has brought about this
change, there will be something doing,
and the New Jersey overturn is only the
beginning.
When a party goes before the people
and it's only stock in trade is to ask for
the endorsement of the administration
of President Wilson, they have got into
the last ditch.
The overturn in Chicago this week has
been wonderful and has been brought
about by the women's votes, and the
Democrats have lost Their lead in the city
government. think the publication of
the ballot is going to be brought about
by the women. AS class they are a
great deal better than the men who are
up as candidates in municipal elections.
All over this State the dry towns are in
creasing and the saloons in the State
have been reduced as result Of last
Tuesdays election from 2,652 to less
than 1,5O0. Let the good work go on I'M
til rum shall be no more. Another graft
scheme that was killed in this city the
past week was comprehensive subway
to cost at least $3.50, 000,0 That was
defeated by majority against it of $780,
900, and the enclosed slip tells you what
Mayor Harrison says. l cannot find the
paper with his remarks about the sub
way, but he said, in substance, that he
was through advocating subways, and
if people preferred to ride on the surface,
and in the daylight, let them do so. :,

giving the election more in detail.

work In the checking room is perform
ed under the handicap of long stretch
which clerks must cover in carrying
mail matter to and fro. His inventive
brain has devised simple experiment
to overcome this difficulty. He went

number of clerks, who could be relied
upon to use them without spilling
themselves all over the postoffice, he
start d them going, with the result
OF very materially speeding up the
work. These roller skates are now
covering a space of a full city block,
and If experience proves the practi-

force engaged in shifting the mail
matter in the office will be put ON

Whenever her hair fell out or took on

recipe which can be depended upon to
