Asthmador Guaranteed
to Relieve Asthma

Il have arranged with George A.
Gorgas, 16 North Third street, that
every sufferer from Asthma, Hay
Fever or Bronchial Asthma in Harris
burg can try my treatment entirely at
my risk" DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann
announces. He says: Buy 50-cent
package of my Asthmador or Asthma
dor Cigarettes, try it, and if it does
not afford you immediate relief, or If
you do not find it the best remedy you
have ever used, take it back to George
A. Gorgas and he will return your
money cheerfully and without any
question whatever. After seeing the
grateful relief it has afforded in hun
dreds of cases. which had been consid-
cred incurable, and which had been
given up in despair, l know what it
will do. l am so sure that it will do
the same with others that l am not
afraid to guarantee it will relieve in
simultaneously. The druggists handling
Asthmador will return your money ii
you say so. You are to be the sole
Judge and under this positive guaran-
tee. absolutely no risk is run in buying
Asthmador.
Persons living elsewhere will be sup
piled under the same guarantee by
their local druggist or direct by DIR. r.

Does 1t Pay to Be Good?

Iish her remorseful musings on what
her womanhood might have meant to
her.
1t pays to he good. 1t pays to be
at peace with yourself, to be able To
look the world proudly in the face
and know IL does not dare think of
you disrespectfully. There is infinite
satisfaction in thinking you were wise
enough and clever enough TO pick out
a clean path in a world full of boggy,
Swampy ones.
1t is joyous to have no dread of the
debt of your own contracting ana no
fear of ghosts from your past.
The quiet, clear-eyed. clean-think
ing. pure-living girl will in all likcli-
hood some day be happy wife and
bleassed mother. She will have the
gift of her good character as well as
of her love to bring to the man for
whom she cares And for her chill
dren she will have the proud heri-
tage of her own simple strength and
purity.
Let undesirable men call you SLOW
and thank Heaven you have this
quality to repel their dangerous in
terest. Let silly, weak sisters crit
icisu YOU for your lack of "gameness
and then surprise them by being game
enough in a good way to endure their
sneers and strong enough to resist
their influence for evil.
1t pays to be good And II you are
not good. you will never cease paying
for your weakness or wickedness.

There are many women to whom this
corset cover is sure to appeal for it pro-
vides enough support for the necessary
shields. 1t is simple, too, with only under
arm seams, the upper edges being caught
together at the shoulders. In the illustra-
ton, it is embroidered and hand work is
always dainty and attractive. Lace or
embroidered trimming can be substituted
or scalloped edges combined with lace
insertion could be used. If the Sits are
not worked, beading should be applied
over the neck edge to regulate the size.
Fine cotton crepe is good material and
one much liked while batiste and lawn
and fabrics of the sort are always used.
The peplum which is joined to the lower
edge holds the corset cover perfectly in
place while it does away with all bulk
under the skirt.
For the medium size, the corset cover
will require I3s yds. of material SO, rs

From his place of vantage halfway
up the hill he waited. The hour that
elapsed before lie heard the coughing
of the motor seemed an endless success
sion of deadly seconds, each marked
by a stabbing breath. Then he saw
the truck emerge from the cut and com
mence to rumble heavily down the
slope. John Dorr was driving. With
him was one of the hands.
The heavy truck bumped upon the
bridge and in the desert silence the
man on the hill saw it quietly sway to
one side and then plunge downward
to the rocks below. Before the sound
Of that crash could reach his listening
ears he saw a sudden burst of flame
shoot up dense swirl of smoke. Then,
like the fara way cracking Of a fire,
came the noise of the yielding timbers,
followed by a dull boom.
MY God!' whispered Wilkerson to
himself. THE gasoline tank exploded
and the car is on fire." He crouched
in the brush. waiting to see whether
any one emerged from the gulch. No
one did. The bridge burned fercely.
At least 40 one would ever know the
cause of this catastrophe, and John
Dorr would not so to San francisco.
Z. Instinct told him to fee the scene.
But n stronger passion overcame him;
he must see for himself what had hap

swiftly down the slope.
The truck had turned completely
over and lay broken and smoldering
across the waterworn powders. VIII

he discerned through the eddying
smoke was the body of John Dorr,

with the horror Of the thing he had
done. 1t bit into his very soul, that
scene, until he could not stand it longer
and rode furiously away toward the
other side of the divide. He must go
on his supposed errand about the wood
and know nothing of this.
On the crest of the mountain he halt
ed and looked back. Far below him a
thin curl of gray smoke marked the
site of the murder Knowing that he
was safe, Wilkerson experienced a tre-
mendous reaction.

stirrups. He was now master of the

sense, held meeting and passed an
appropriation of $500 to buy ammuni-
tion, and all of this excitement is
based upon an absolute fallacy. 1t
has been reported in some Of the Den
yer papers that the National guard
is shooting down innocent women and
children in the strike field. Accord
ing to these newspaper reports, lit
tie handful of AZ men is running
amuck all over Southern Colorado.
No one seems willing to investigate
and find out the real facts, which are
exactly opposite from those reported
in the Denver papers.
Here are a few facts no one will
dispute. The Colorado National
guard is composed entirely of Ameri-
can citizens, most of them young men
from business and industrial life in
the state. The strikers are largely
composed of foreigners, a large per-
centage Of whom cannot even speak
the English language. All Of the
better element among the Colorado
miners have long ago left the dis
trict with their families. Now it is
charged, and thousands of people be-
lieve, that the Americans composing
the Colorado National guard are de-
liberately shooting down innocent
women and children, and the strikers
are using this as an excuse for burn
ing and numbering, right and left.
That American people could believe
that American soldiers would do the
things charged against them, on the
unsupported statement Of sensation
al Denver papers, is almost beyond
belief. Already the Denver papers
have commenced to modify their first
statements, and within q few days
they will be completely refuted. But
already the damage has been done.
The present situation borders very
closely upon anarchy, and it is high
time the sane, intelligent people of
the state aroused themselves In An
effort to bring back the unthinlking to
a realization of their idiocy.-Denver

story calculated to tickle the Sphinx,

to save his face as much as possible,
Heating wired prominent citizens of

he had made arrangements with the
distinguished visitor in this connec-
ton. A committee was organized
and sent to Denver, where it was
courteously received by the interior
official. But the committeeman fell
back on their launches when they
learned that Jones had never heard

HOMESEEKERS FOR COLORADO
Colonization Expert Says Tide Of I'm
migration Is About to Turn to
State; Canada Movement
About Spent

In the opinion Of Charles Elwood,
who has arrived in Denver to take
charge of the sale of $4,000 acres of
land under one of the new irrigation
systems, and who is one of the best
known colonization men in the coun-
try, the western states, and particu-
larly Colorado, are on the eve Of a
new wave of immigration. The stream
that Canada has been receiving, he
says, is about to turn this way. In
the last ten years he estimates that
800, 900 persons have gone from the
United States into western Canada.
The best opportunities there have
been taken up, Elwood says; a good
many are now returning; the western
part Of the United States now has
much better advantages to offer to
new corners, in climate, cheapness of
lands and nearness to markets.
"Of all the western states, Colo
RADIO leads in these advantages" says
"and l think the time is ripe,
with proper and systematized en-
for thousands of new
settlers to be attracted to Colorado.
The growth of Colorado in future will
depend on the development of agricul-
tural lands, and the more the business
interests of the large cities in the
state realize this and give it hearty
md substantial support, the more

Main Canal Repairs

The Two Buttes Irrigation and Res
ervoir Co. have completed repairs on
the main canal between tunnel No. 2
and siphon No. 1, which improves
the appearance of the canal as well
as the efficiency.
The canal bank between the two
points mentioned above was reinforc-
ed with rubble masonry and stone
rip-rap to prevent it from the eros
i've action of the water, also to elm
mate leakage through the canal
bottom in places where the underly-
ing material seemed to be porous. A
wall was built several feet below the
grade Of the canal to cut off this loss
of water, which, however, was never
excessive. In addition to this, the
canal was lined with rock facing 16
inches to the height of the water in
the canal when discharging at full
capacity. Some concrete was also
necessary to alter the grade at these
points, owing to an excessive velocity
the water assumes as it approaches
the siphon. 1t required 300 face
yards Of stone and two wagon loads
of cement.
A few other minor changes have
been made in addition to several days
work, men and teams, removing the
earth and rock due to disintegration
and freezing weather. This leaves the
canal in first class condition for this
year.-Two Buttes Sentinel.

MILITIA CALLED OFF
Federal Troops Take the Field and
Militia will Come Home

President Wilson has at the re-
quest of Governor Ammons sent sew
eral companies Of the regular army
into the strike sections of Colorado
and they will take charge and replace
the state militia, which have been in
the field most of the time for the
past six months.
1t is well at this time to call the
attention of the people generally to
a few facts, which in the frenzy that
has been worked up by sensational
press and politicians, have been over
looked. The young men who COM
pose this militia are practically all
like the young men Of Co. C. Of La
mar. They are Americans and of
average good character, boys who
have been raised in good homes and
would not for one minute think of
injuring a woman or child and not a
man unless forced to do SO. These
boys many of them at sacrifice to
themselves went up to the strike
regions to protect lives and proper
ty and have been subjected to all
manner of insults and attacks by the
strikers almost all Of whom are for
eigners and the large majority vio-
lent anarchists.
They have had their pay held up
and been deliberately insulted by the
blatant demagogue who holds the
job Of state auditor, and is playing
on prejudice to make political capi-
tai. Now they are being assailed by
a lot of firebrand politicians, maudlin
reformers, short haired women ward
workers, preachers and the Denver
press as murderers Of women and
children and denounced as barbarians
and outlaws. All these outxAges are
being committed against these young
men not because they have done any
thing to merit censure, but because
a certain clique wants to elect Tom
Patterson governor and Rhody Ken
chan secretary of state.
The militia have been very patient
under this outrageous treatment and
to their credit be it said only one
company refused to return to the
field when ordered last week. They
have earned far more credit and re-
ward than they will ever receive.
Just SO long as Colorado continues
to heap honors and rewards on
the class of politicians and
agitators who have been stirring up
this strife for their own personal
gain, just SO long will our uninfinish-
ed enterprises beg in vain for out
side capital and the great resources
Of the state continue undeveloped.
