RIVER BUILT OCEAN CRAFT.
Some Facts About a Nineteenth Century
Ohio Industry.

Some Facts About Nineteenth Century
Ohio Industry.
There are yet some persons, uniform
ed, of course. who believe it is folly to
think of navigating the Mississippi River
and its tributaries with anything larger
than scow of shallow draft. For the
benefit of those persons the Enquirer
printed recently an article about the
many ships that were built along the
Ohio River and loaded cargoes there for
ports across the sea, and sailed down the
Ohio and Mississippi and thence out up
on the Gulf of Mexico and the broad At
lantic.
They were not small craft, either, but
schooners, briggs, banks, barkentines and
full rugged ships with square yards, big
and seaworthy enough to voyage to any
port in the world.
One of the first of these ocean-going
vessels to be built upon the Ohio was the
100 ton brig St. Clair, launched at Mari
eta in 1901 and loaded at Cincinnati for
Havana. Many sailing ships were built
along that river in the next 10 years, and
they were staunch vessels, too, of white
oak and black walnut, with masts of vel
low pine.
In the 40's the shipbuilding business
along the Ohio revived, and as late as
1850 the brig Louisa of 200 tons. the
bark John Swasey of 300 tons, and the
bark Salem of $50 tons, were launched
at Cincinnati, and everything in and
aboard those vessels was supplied at
that inland city. From keel to truck
from royal mast down to spanker boom,
every bit of standing and running rig
ging. sails and blocks, was made in Gin
cinnati.
The largest and finest of the scores of
sailing ships launched along the Ohio
was the full-rigged ship Minnesota OF
$50 tons. She was to carry cotton to
Europe, and was in that trade for many
years.
The advent of steam-driven vessels
put an end to this shipbuilding business.
Now there has begun a new era of boat
building and navigation on these rivers,
that of the long, wide and shallow stee
barge that carries almost as much cargo
as a big ship, and that is towed in fleets.
These barges are again to revive navi
cation on all these rivers, and are des
tined to revolutionize present methods
of transporting slow freight in these
valleys. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Be PRETTY, WOMEN
TOLD By 1ANLAC NAN
"Be Natural" He Says; Holds
Stomach is the Source
of Life"

"Many women paint and powder and
use cold cream and lotions when their
complexion begins to fade. They think
saIlow, wan looking face can be made
to bloom like healthy one by such treat
ment. But this is all wrong.
''The skin must be treated from the
inside out, not from the outside in. True
beauty must come froms healthy body;
it cannot result from an unhealthy one.
That is the secret of all beauty-it' )
beautiful because its natural. Every
woman with good digestion has a good
complexion.
This is the opinion of the Tanlac Man
who has headquarters at the City Drug
Store.
Sick and Don't Know 1t.
He continued: 1.-THE trouble with most
women is that they are sick and don t
know it. Scores of women. from girls
to mature mothers, call on me daily and
not one out of dozen really knows what
is the matter with her. They have doc
tored for everything under the sun-for
Indigestion; gastritis, gas on the stom-
ach, headache, dlzziness-and the chances
are ten to one in every case that the
whole trouble is in the digestive organs.
''Let pale, nervous, tired women tone
up the system with Tanlac. Give it q
chance and they should rapidly regain
health, beauty and joy in life.''
Mrs. McLeod's Experience.
Among the Bangor women who say 6
good word for Tanlac is Mrs. Gordon Nc
Leod of South Bangor, who said she no
ticed change for the better after taking
! Tanlac only few days.
Before that she told the Tanla,

APPETITE AND HEALTH

Loss OF appetite is sure sign of Ill
health.
Those who take DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People as tonic invari-
ably say that their improvement began
with a noticeable increase in the appe-
tite. When you are sick and your vi
tality is low your appetite fails. Moth
ing tastes good. You take no pleasure
in your meals. Under such circum-
stances good digestion is impossible.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills tone up the
entire system, the blood is enriched
and good red blood is essential to nor
nal digestion. The glanls that secrete
the digestive fluids are strengthened,
not merely stimulated, and you once
more enjoy a good appetite. Looking
forward pleasurably to meal-time isthe
first sign of returning health, strength
and vitality:
What to eat then becomes q problem
and it is solved by the diet book that
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, N. Y, will send you on re-
quest. 1t gives the relative digestibility
of different foods, gives the proper diet
in various diseases and is handy book
to have.
The price of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
is fifty cents per box. Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt of price.

Concerning corn Meal.

Listening to the still small voice Of
M arse Henry Watterson of the Louis
vile Courier-J Journal, who expresses re-
gret that Kentucky has no corn meal

The romance of corn meal? Why,
there is the flavor of romance in every
golden oupful poured from between the
upper and nether milstones of the few
remaining water mills with which man.
kind is still blessed.
And there's something more than the
flavor of romance in stone-ground corn
meal. There's the flavor of hammock and
johnnycake and Indian pudding like W hat
mother used to make!. A flavor that
makes the ordinary, corn meal of COM
merce thing Of no account. fiat, stale
and Improbable. And the pity of it is
that, in the New England States at

And a man can find just as much to
admire in the gorgeous display as the
women can, too. 1t is beautiful

also contribute some pleasing songs
and dances.
