PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood,-fhat is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired,
1anglid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause of disease.
Z Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher Of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful IN removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today

SALEM
h Sea, England; British marines land.


FOLSOM. Aug. 12-Mr. and Mrs.
sessment for the Salem independent
school district has been made public
and evidences gain of no small
proportions that reaches S347, 800.
The detailed assessment is as fol-
lows for 1914:
Real estate ........... $1.14o,765
Personal ............ 72S,715
Public service. ....... 459,29u
Doddridge county ITEM. .50.045
Total. ............. $2.37S,815
1t is very gratifying to the citizens
to see this marked advance as the
school board has been puzzled to
meet the demand for funds to exten
and carry on our public schools. But
this gain will enable 1t to hold the
levy down to reasonable amount,
although advanced over last years
levy.
The city authorities are rebuilding
the wooden bridge across Jacobs run
on Mill street, near the auditorium,
and have begun grading for the ex-
tension of the paving in the west
end Of Salem.
Mrs. Elizabeth Gailbreth, former
ly of the millinery department of
the Bon Ton store, has returned to
Salem. She spent the summer in
New York City. where she formerly
resided.
An aggregation of thirteen Ford
automobiles passed through here
Tuesday morning. having been driven
from Detroit, Mich, and were bound
for parties at Philippi and Buckhan-
non. The cars thoroughly showed
their contact with the recent rains
and local roads.
Mr.. and Mrs. AL. L. Davis, OF
Charleston. are guests of Mr.. Davis's
father, Milton Davis. of near In
dustrial. Mr.. Davis is now en-
ployed in the manufacturing depart
ment of the Abney Barnes Company,

CANAL TO OPEN
FOUR MONTHS
AHEAD OF DATE
Board Of Consulting Engineers
Estimated Opening Would
Be in January, 1915.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-More
than four months ahead Of the date
set when the board of consulting en-
gineers in 1906 estimated that II
would take until January, 1914, to
complete the Panama canal along the
lines then under way, the United
States government finds itself ready
to begin business next Saturday in
selling tickets Of passage to ships of
all nations through the new gateway.
Suggested 400 Years Ago.
1t is just ten years since the gov
eminent advertised its purpose to
connect the oceans. 1t is nearly 400
years since a Spanish engineer first
suggested such a project.
For time the epoch which this
triumph of engineering marks will
pass unoticed SO far as celebrations
go, for 1t is not until next spring that
the great demonstration will be
made, but from next Saturday on,
the Panama canal will be an accom-
plished fact, and the worlds COM
merce will gradually accustom itself
to this new grove.
What it will mean to the world at
large, and to particular nations, and
especially to the United States, is a
question around which great deal
Of controversy has waged, now to be
answered by the canal itself.
Passengers Not to Be Taxed.
After the passage Of a government
steamer next Saturday, probably the
Cristobal, any ship up to 10000 tons
register applying for admission to
the Pacific from the Atlantic, or vice
versa. may be conducted through
the fifty-mile waterway upon pay
ment of's1.25 for every, ton (net) OF
cargo. Crew and passengers will not
be taxed.
At this nominal expense some two
months sailing time, on a 10000
miles voyage around the South
American continent may be saved,
or the expense OF transshipment by
railroad done away with, If desired.
The canal has cost the United
States nearly s400,000.000 That is
approximately what DeLesseps, the
French engineer figured it would
cost when he undertook the job in
1889, but he spent that and more,
in making only slight impression,
and ended in utter failure and finan-
cial disgrace.
Big Operating Cost.
A year from this time 1t is figured
the government will have to show

higher cost of food, and, until Chip
ping is, in measure restored, deal
ers say there can be no hope Of re-
lief.
The tin industry in this country has
grown by leaps and bounds since 1t
was fostered by protective customs
duties. For eight months. under the
present tariff, to May 3, imports
amounted to $1.116,S21 as contracted
with $376,26l under the last eight
months of the Payne-Aldrich bill.

will be about $4,000 900 yearly. and
the interest on Its huge investment.
Whether it will be able to do SO this
year or for many years is mooted
question.
Traffic experts have estimated that
100000 tons of freight will be
carried through the canal every year
for the first few years, and that later
