Sore Throat or Mouth.

You must keep the throat and mouth

about $3.50. 900 is need1d to increase the
plants output Of powder SO per cent.
The Committee is also occupied in
considering the proposition to run

or both so that Indian Head can be
reached from Washington and other
points more quickly than by water.
