Here Is Good News
i, for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
Of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach. fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends OF stomach
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and so Sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands OF
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless. the ei-
feet of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one OF its remarkable
effectiveness. and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like a new person Mayr's

fisheries and game have decided to
discontinue this plan and to hold the
fish until they become fingerlings be-

A number of portable nursery
ponds are being built and will be plac

soon as these pools are finished the
fry will be transferred to them and
kept there until the fingerlings are
ready to send out Planting fnger-

much to people who are interested IN

A BABEL OF TONGUES.
The Worlds Languages Now and What
May Be In the Future.


How many men, if asked how many
languages there are In the world,
could give anything like an accurate
answer? The average mans knowledge
or ability TO speak languages rarely
exceeds two besides his native tongue.
1t may appear strange. but 1t is new
ertheless true, that there are over 1900
languages spoken by mankind, while
the number of dialects exceeds this.
There are more than sixty vocabularies
in Brazil, and in Mexico the Nahua is
broken up into some 700 dialects. There
are hundreds in Borneo. and IN Aus
tralia there is no classifying the com
pleXities. Let us assume that fifty
dialects on an average, belong to each
language and we have the colossal
total of 100000 linguistic abilities
\ century hence the probability is
that there will only be four languages
of Importance in the world. Central
Europe may produce newer and more
straightforward German language I'm.
perlal English may reign alone over
the North American continent, while
n more businesslikc Spanish will be
used in South American states. Then
Russia may take on some more rich
Slavonic dialect, which will blend the
races of eastern Europe and central
Asia into a harmonious federation. So
that in future these four languages will
enter into what may be a never ending
competition Exchange.

Iron and Steel.
Among the many questions which

important than thar relating to the
corrosion OF iron and steel This tend
ency 10 decay is peculiar TO these
materials, since none of the ordinary
metals exhibits it 70 any comparable
degree. and it is SO strong that an un.
protected piece is soon reduced TO a
shapeless mass OF rust. 1t is one thing
to design and erect n mighty sky
scraper. but an entirely different mat.

which, if allowed TO do their work
would ruin the greatest structure in II
short time.
1t seems strange, in way, that un.

resistant TO natural agencies than
wood or other building materials. 1t
is being used more and more In the
fabrication OF large buildings and
other structures OF permanent type.
