RHEUMATISM ARRESTED

Many people suffer with lame muscles
and stiffened joints because blood
impurities have invaded the system
and caused rheumatism.
To arrest rheumatism it is quite as
important to improve your general
health as to purify your blood, and the
cod liver oil in SCOTS Emulsion is
natures great blood-maker, while its
medicinal nourishment strengthens the
organs to expel the impurities and
upbuild your strength. Try it.

FOOD CONSERVATION UNIT
ORGANIZED IN THIS CITY
Women of Nation Enlisted to Elimi.
nate all Possible Waste in Meats
and Cereals.

Fallon's Unit of the Women's Com
mittee of the Council of National
Defense was organized last Monday
evening at a meeting held at the
home of Dr. F. e. Nichols. Mrs. Geo.
j b. Williams was elected chairman,
Mrs. +. Z. Nichols, vice chairman
and Mrs. B. C. Archer, secretary.
This branch of the Council of Ma
enlisting the housewives of the Ma
tion in the conservation of food sup
plies and bringing directly to each
home the necessity of stopping all
possible waste of food products. A
card Is furnished each housewife by
the signing of which she pledges her.
self to use every endeavor to reduce
the consumption of food to the min
imum commensurate with proper
nourishment, especially in the use Of
cereals and meats to the end that
much that is nows wasted may be
saved for export to our allies.
The league is under the direction
of Mr.. Herbert c. Hoover, National
Food Administrator, who has issued
the following definition of its aims
| and purposes
1.-The primary aim is to see that
the people of this country eat a suf-
ficient quantity of food, but not an
excess, and that they stop waste. 1t
is also to reduce the consumption of
staples, so that a large amount may
be set free for export to the Allies.
We wish to urge in particular the
free use of vegetables and perishable
foods where they are produced; to
encourage the preservation of per-
ishable and, semiperishable fruits,
vegetables, and other foods; to sub
stitute other cereals to large ex-
tent for wheat, and to reduce mater
tally the consumption of meat. II
we can reduce wheat consumption by
zone pound a week per capita, we
shall have increased our export sur
plus for the Allies by one hundred
million bushels of wheat per year,
and if we can induce economy of
eating or saving of waste by six cents
per capita per diem, we will have re-
duced the national expenditure by
two billion of dollars per annum.'
After these pledges have been
signed and sent to Mr.. Hoover at
Washington, there will be returne'
to each householder a tag to pc
placed in the window of the home to
show that the members of the house
hold have volunteered for service.
The cards will be distributed by the
Boy Scouts of America and it is
hoped that everyone will enter into
the spirit of the movement.

FEDERAL FARM LOAN BANK
SENDS $4,000 TO LOVELOCk

Forty-nine thousand dollars for
the farmers of Humboldt county has
been dispatched by the federal land
bank of Berkeley. Cal. for distribu.
tion among the members of the Love
lock National Farm Loan Associa-
tion.
Most of the money is repayable to
the bank in thirty-six years by means
of small, equal, semi-annual pay
ments. The principal draws interest
at the rate of five per cent per year
and the principal is reduced every
time a payment is made. The loans
which will be consummated in a few
days, as soon as the legal require
ments of recording, etc, are met, are
distributed among the farmers in the
Humboldt valley.
Since the reorganization of the
Berkeley bank, a little over a week
ago, the executive committee con-
sisting of President William II. Joyce
of Los Angeles, Secretary A. w. Hen
drick of Nevada and William d. Ellis
of Utah have approved applications
for loans amounting to $376,000.

WOMAN KILLED IN BRAWL
IN SALOON AT RAWHlDE
Said to Have Been Victim of German
Sympathizers for Wearing an
American Flag.

A mysterious killing occurred al
Rawhide last Tuesday in which Mrs
Joe Kelly, wife of we'll known
newsdealer came TO her death in a
brawl in which two women and a
man were concerned.
From the meager details received
here it seems that three women
Mrs. Kelly. Mrs. Bird and Mrs
Haynes-were in a barroom kept by
"Bilf' Nagle, former deputy sher-
iff, and had been drinking rather
freely when quarrel arose which
involved the wearing of an American
flag by Mrs. Kelly. From the ac-
count received here the other women
strongly pro-German attacked Mrs.
Kelly tearing the flag from her
and throwing it in the stove in which
they were aided and abetted by
Nagle. In the melee Mrs. Kelly was
stabbed and frightfully maltreated
to such an extent that she died from
her injuries on the following day.
At the coroner's inquest following
the killing one of the witnesses test
flied that she had heard the scream
ing of the victim and rushed into the
place in time to see Mrs. Kelly
struck with a cleaver in the hands of
Nagle. The jury is said to have re-
turned a non-commital verdict, mere
ly stating that she came to her death
in a manner unknown on the premis-
es of William Nagle.
Sheriff Balzar was attending the
meeting of the State board of equali-
zation when word was received at
Carson and it is not known what
measure will be taken toward a fur
ther investigation of the affair. All
the parties involved are well known
in Fallon and considerable local in
terest has been aroused, inasmueh
as it is complicated by charges of dis
loyalty to the flag.

ECHOES FROM A VANISHED
DANCING SCHOOL PROMOTER
Ralph Allison illustrates Some Num-
bers Listed In the Prospectus
of the Gay Deceiyer

The dance given in town last Sat
urday night brought faint echo of
an erstwhile dancing master whose
brief stay was fraught with sorrow
to many of our youths and ladies'.
There was foregathering of many
of those whose confidence and purses
were so rudely abused and none had
aught to show for his investment
other than an unpleasant memory
with the single exception of Ralph
Waldo Allison. He in some manner
Communicated this itinerant teacher
of the very latest in society steps,
and following the regular dancing
numbers Saturday evening gave an
exhibition of what had been promised
the subscribers to the new school of
music and dancing" Allison's
demonstration resulted only in in
tensifying the mystery surrounding
this nearly organized school as
whereas the $500 subscribers were
led to believe they were to form part
of a music and dancing academy, his
performance was SO much more
adapted to the gymnasium that the
consensus of opinion was that they
were doubly duped. AS an exhibition
however the above was admitted to
be worth the price.

RED CROSS CHAPTER NOW
OCCUPYING new QUARTERS
Summer Lull to be Replaced by q
Vigorous Campaign I'm all Branch
es of the Red Cross Work

The ladies of the Red Cross are
now comfortably established in the
building at the corner of Center and
Carson streets. opposite Jones &
McCall's and have furnished it by do
nations.
The building was donated by the
Williams Estate and contains four
rooms, one of which will be utilized
as a storeroom in which will be kept
the supplies of the Chapter and the
others as work and sewing rooms.
The ladies have levied tribute on
everyone who has come within their
purview for the furnishing of the
quarters, and be 1t said to the credit
of those who have been asked to con-
tribute some article or labor to the
cause, they have yet to meet with
their first refusal, although in some
instances the service solicited has in
VOWED a considerable sacrifice.
So many of the active members of
the organization have been absent
during the summer months on differ
ernt missions of business and recrea-
ton that progress in the work of the
Red Cross has Jagged somewhat, but
they are now entering upon the work
with redoubled energy to overcome
the loss of time. The recen, request

peeted support from the loyal women
of the county, and whereas il was
generally believed that knitting was
lost art, it develops that there are
still many women in the county who
still turn a hell' in a stocking.
Added to these, who are willing to
act as instructors and conduct class
es, are a host of volunteers who are
anxious to Learn and il is more than
likely that very shortly there will be
a return to the old time practice of
our grandmothers when every wom-
an who went visiting carried her
knitting with her and accompanied
her conversation with the click of the
needles while she deftly wove the
articles for the use of her menfolks.
So far there has been no instructor
for this Chapter to initiate the local
members into the mysteries of pre-
pairing bandages and surgical sup
plies. Chairman Kenny has received
notice that a lady now in Oregon will
be here within the next few weeks to
give the proper instructions in this
branch of the work and until her ar
rival nothing will be done.
In this connection it should be
stated that there seems to be mis-
taken impression current that the
Red Cross is u close corporation and
that in order to join and participate
in the work one has to be invited to
join. This is obviously erroneous.
There is room for all and an open
and earnest invitation TO everyone to
come forward and volunteer either
as a working or contributing men,

SILVER MINING ACTIVE
DEVELOPMENTS AT WONDER

The recent jump in silver with in

place 1t now holds has aroused inter-
est in the mines of Nevada long since
abandoned. With a demand for sill
yer beyond the supply the properties
in this section have taken on new
valuation and already owners who
had apparently abandoned their
mines have awakened TO their value.
Geo. Manning of New York arrived
last week and is making extensive
preparations for work on properties
in the Wonder district. Mr.. Mann
ing and a group of men have for a
number of years owned the Vulture
and Bald Eagle properties, the Dick

taken over the Spider and Wasp

start on these mines at once, an air
compressor is now being installed
and a mill will be erected just as

May Change Highway Route

II is rumored in the northern part
of the State that the recent trip Of
Lincoln highway officials over the
Midland trail was for the purpose Of
familiarizing themselves with the
route for the purpose OF making 1t a
part of the Lincoln highway. II is
said that the experience of these Of
fcials in both Reno and San Francis
co has been far from satisfactory in
the past and that on the contrary
Los Angeles boosters have marked
the Midland trail to Ely and the Lin
coin highway from Ely to Salt Lake.
This was the first occasion on which
II. c. Osterman, field secretary of
the Lincoln Highway association, has
ever left the highway on a transcon-
tinental trip. and it is believed that
it may result in recognition of the
Midland trail from Ely west.
