In the silver and gold mining clr1ps

Every few weeks a whole town

people of Staunton moved their town

the same thing, tho not quite so far.
So did Hewitt, Walters, Bottsford and
many others.
The railroads are the greatest cause
of this town moving. They are IN the
townsite business themselves. and are
far more concerned in selling building
lots on new sites than in developing
tonnage in old towns. Wherever they

Faith Lacking.

During an extended drouth. down
in the land that inspires the ragtime
song writers. the "Rev'end" George
Washington called gathering of his
colored brethren to supplicate the
Lord for rain.
Before he opened his sermon the
"Revend" surveyed his congregation
very critically, and with increasing
dissatisfaction. At last he lamented:
"De lack OBJ faith oh yo' n!ggers is
scandalous and sinful. and makes my
heart sore and weary, and plumS
afeared for your souls. Heah we hab
gathered to beg de Lord to stop de
drouth dat Is burning up our fields,

dance And not one, no, sab, not one

home with.'-Harper's.

In letter, the skin dries

the blood dries up the natural
oil of the skin, causing a dry
feverish condition.
Acne makes its appearance
on the face in the form of
pimples and blackheads, while
Psoriasis comes in scaly
patches on different parts OF

The safest way to handle
any skin disease is to first pur.
ify the blood with S. S. S. and
put it in condition to do its
work properly. S. S. S. re-
moves the humors from the
blood so the skin, instead of
being irritated and diseased, is
nourished by a supply of fresh,
healthy blood. External ap-
plications of salves, washes,
lotions, ETC., while they are
generally needed to use locally
in order to soothe the itching
and pain, caused by skin affec-
tions, cannot permanently cure
the trouble because they do
not reach the blood.
S. S. S. goes down into the
circulation and fores out the
foreign matter and restores the
blood to it's normal, healthy
condition, enabling it thereby
to relieve the skin affection.
S. S. S. is guaranteed purely
vegetable and is for sale at all
drug stores. Don't take a sub
stitute. There is nothing "just

HOW SAVAGES START FIRES
"Stick and Grove Method Produces
Flame From Friction.

Those who have tried to start n
fire by rubbing pieces of wood to-
gether will be interested in two
methods, known as the stick and
groove" method and the fire drill, "
both of which have been used in
the past by savage tribes.
The stick and groove" method,
according to a writer in the New York
Railway Employees magazine, was
the first to be used, a blunt-pointed
stick being run along a groove of its
own making in a piece Of wood lying
on the ground.
Charles Darwin found II no easy
task to produce fire in this manner,
but natives experienced no difficulty.
The fire drill" was more gener-
ally used thruout the world. Cap
tain Cook remarked on its use among
the native tribes of Australia. He
said that by this method they get
fire in less than two minutes. and
from the smallest spark they in
creased 1t with great speed and dex-
terity. The simple form of fire
drill'' was, of course, very crude and
wasteful of time, and many i'm
later.
Other and higher methods of pro-
ducing fire were known and practiced.
The Fuegians struck sparks with a
flint from a piece of iron pyrites. Iron
pyrites was in general use among the
Slave. Dog Rib and Algonquin Indians,
the Esquimaux and many other peo-
pies.
The ability to obtain fire from the
suns rays focused upon lens has
been known to mankind from very
early date. The Chinese have used this
method of producing fire as well as by
flint and steel.

WAR LENDS AID TO

British Women Finally Adopt

At least the English woman is
Americanized, in the very best sense,
says the London Chronicle. She is
realizing that her great atGrandmother
was simply slave driver living in
unhealthy conditions. with a deaf ear
and closed eye to labor saving.
Years ago the slaves freed themselves,
and the English woman was left. sur
rounded by freed servants and few
labor saving appliances. The more
advanced Engllshwoman got what ap-
pliances there were. but her freed ser
wants. with the blood of their great
grandmothers in them, refused to use
them. and the position became tense.
In the states. IL was rumorcd, there
were all kinds OF wonderful appar-
atus-yes, yes. but Mary wouldn't

many years Mary did use a cheaper
sweeper. and liked II. but then came

That was simply silly to think Of and
