Big Profit in Mining Stocks.

Judge Thomas E. o Brien is telling
an interesting instance of how money
has been made in stocks since the Eu-
ropean war began. A certain man
owned 700 shares of mining stocks. One
day he asked a friend what he would
give for them. FIFTY cents was the
reply. The sale was closed. The pur-
chaser paid assessments amounting to
SO and few months ago sold his
stocks for l,400, making something of
a profit. The news that Germany and
her allies might ask for peace, published
in The Reformer caused something of a
connection here. Many local followers
of the stock market have been buying

is easily an quickly acquired thru our
system. Absolutely the only thing of its
kind in the country. Our proposition is
entirely original. We guarantee results,
it will amaze you. Cost is triaing. See
what New international Encyclopedia
says on Lip Reading. Hundreds ofpeople
with normal hearing are taking up Lip
Reading for the many additional benefits
gained. You can understand what the

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PiMPLY SKIN
p i'm pies Are Impurities
Seeking an Outlet Through
Skin Pores.

Pimpes sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bow
els and then absorbed into the blood
through the very duets which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain the
body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine,
but in many instances the bowels Gre
ate more toxins and impurities than
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these i'm
purities which often break out all over
the skin in the form of pimpies.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted authority.
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
of toxins in the bowels. 1t also slim
ulates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood of
impurities and clearing the skin of
pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice, combined with 1ithia-
Here you have a pleasant. effervescent
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear, cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as well.-Adv.

bootleggers than the young Indians
themselves. A prominent Indian, who
knows his people WELL remarked at the
last meeting of the farmers club, IF
the bootleggers can be kept away till
the leases now in force expire every
able bodied Indian on the reservation
will farm his own land
Their ambition has increased as
they see hopes of a dry reservation.
Under the guidance of their agent, NJ.
ID. Colgrove, they have organized fair
association with full quota of Off
GERS. A deal has been made with the
village of Plummer whereby Plummer
is to furnish the buildings and ground
and the Indians are to make the fair.
Nearly $1,000 has already been sub
scribed to carry out this agreement.
The two farmers clubs are trying
TO secure the services of professional
men from the department of agricul
ture and the Washington state college
to supplement the instructions given
by the regular farmer.
IF this can be kept up, and the
agency force and the better class of
Indians can use the energy for agricul-
tural advancement they have formerly
used fighting John Barleycorn, the

Prohibition HELPS Indians.

A dispatch from Sorrento, Ida. to
the Spokesman Review, Spokane,
Wash. says:
Charles West, agency farmer, says
"A great improvement has taken place
among the Occur dAlehe Indians since
the first of January. So marked is the
effect of prohibition that they hardly
seem like the same people.
mot a single Indian has been in the
agency jail since the above date, while
before a special policeman was de-
tailed as jailer, and hardly a day
passed that he did not have from two
to six inmates incarcerated.
Prior to the closing of the saloons
in Tekoa the agency farmer could with
difficulty get a hearing among the
younger Indians, although he was
backed by the chief and prominent
members of the tribe. Since the dry
law went into effect he has organized
one farmers club and resuscitated the
one he had. which was scarcely more
than club on paper and both are
well attended.
Under the old regime IL the farmer
wished to give advice relative to agri-
culture he must first corner his Indian
and compel him to listen. Indeed, he
gave most of his farming instructions
to the prisoners in the agency Jail
Now he has more calls for individual
instruction than time allows him to
answer.
"None are quicker to appreciate the
benefits accrutng from the absence OF
