French Remedy Aids Stomach
Sufferers

France has been called the
nation without stomach
troubles. The French have for
generations used n simple mix
ture of vegetable oils that revive
all stomach and Intestinal all
ments and keep the bowels free
from foul, poisonous matter.
The stomach is left to perform
its functions normally.
MIR. Geo. IL. Mayr. a leading
druggist of Chicago, cured him
self with this remedy in short
time. The demand is so great
that he imports these oils from
France and compounds them
under the name of Mayr's
Wonderful Stomach Remedy.
People everywhere write and
testify to the marvellous relief
they have received using this
remedy one dose will rid the
body of poisonous accretions
that have accumulated for
years and convince the most
chronic sufferer from stomach,
liver or intestinal troubles.
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach
Remedy is now sold here by
Mutual Drug Company.

American Road
Congress

Mayor Fleenor, of Big Stone
Gap, has been requested by the
Hon. A. b. Flether, President
of the Fourth American Road
Congress and State Highway
Engineer of California, to name
three delegates TO attend the
sessions of the Congress at At
lanta, Georgia, during the week
of November 9th.
Forty-seven great organiza-
tons are taking part in the
Congress under the leadership
cf the American Highway
Association and the American
Automobile Association. In
his letter to the Mayor, Presi
dent Fletcher calls attention to
the fact that practically every
state highway commissioner
will be present and take part
in discussing the important
problems OF road construction
and maintenance, and that some
of the foremost men in public
life will devote their attention
to the great question of Federal
Aid to road Improvement, in
an endeavor to work out a
policy which may be submitted
to the Congress of the United
States with :he support of the
organized road movement of
America. An important move
bearing upon State legislation
will be made at the session to
be held under the auspices Of
the American Bar Association,
at which a joint committee,
appointed ut the 1913 Congress
Will report progress in compila-
ton aud suggest revision of
state road laws. The creation
of a commission participated in
by each state to work out re-
vision of the road laws will be
urged. The National Civil
Service Reform League will
hold an exceedingly important
session on the merit system in
road administration.
President Fletcher calls at.
tention TO the exhibits to be
made by the United States
Government, the States, and
more than n hundred of the
leading manufacturers at the
Congress, which will illustrate
every known method, material
and equipment for road con.
struction and maintenance. He
urges that the city and county
be officially represented, as the
Congress is in reality training
school where a very great
amount of useful information
can be obtained through at
tendance ut lectures with lend
ing specialists in road and
street work, and the collecting
of the many instructive but
letting which will be available
for distribution.
The headquarters of the Con
gress are in the Colorado Build
ing, Washington, d. c., in
charge of |. S. Pennybacke
Executive Secretary, and the
