ANOTHER BURGLARY

The pool room of James H. Baw-
den was broken into last Friday ev-
ening. the burglars procuring six
turkeys, 1900 cigare ties, $50 cigars,
20 cans tobacco, two Glib boxes can
dy and $1,000 in gold taken from
prize cards. TIE loot was discover
ed Saturday mornirg in Zang's ware
'hnuse by young Parteli, who noticed
a different lock on the door of the
warehouse to the one used. His cur
osdty prompted him to break the lock
and open the door to the place where
the stolen goods were cached. Mr..
Bawden was notified Of the find and
recovered his property. The turkeys
were alive when the raid was made
but were decapitated d before being re-
moved from the premises Cne of
the heads was found Saturday morn
ing in frcnt of TIE Observer office
and the editor concluded some kind
and considerate fri nd had left him n
Christmas present. That is the part
Of the national bird the editor gener-
ally draws.
Entrance to the pool room was
made through the basement door .n
the rear of the bu lding, presumably
at an hour of night when the people
OF the town were wrapped in peace
ful slumber. There being no night
watch on duty, the thieves did not
fear molestation or detection but
were thoughtful enough to work quiet
ly SO as not to disturb any of the
roomers asleep in the hotel adjoin-
dng. Whatever cer sure or condemn
alton that may be heaped upon those
who perpetrate these frequent noctur-
nal raids, they must at least be Civ

not to disturb the peace or tranquil

The mining indus ry. unlike many

pressing demand for it in India and
China where there Is reported

When peace is de,tared in Europe,
millions of ounces will be requ red to
replentsh their exhausted treasures,
and we can reasonably expect to see
them join with other countries in re-
monetizing the metal at an interna-

The pain OF neuralgia is sharp and

An attack OF neuralgia does not

this particular nerve has lost its re.
sistance and that there will be re-
curing attacks until the strength OF
the nerve is built up.
How can the strength OF nerve

nerves are toned up by supplying TO
the blood the elements that the

and strength of the patient are built
up the nerves resume their normal
functions, inflammation caused by
lack Of nutrition disappears and the
neuralgia attacks cease.
