There are few rich young men who
are deserving Of special commends-
dation. At the reserve officers train
ing camp in Illinois 1t was discovered
that quite number of young men
without means we're in danger OF hav-
ing to return home for lack of funds to
continue their course of instructions.
Hearing Of this, the young men Of
wealth in the camp quietly dug down,
handed large sum to the mess officer
with strict injupctions Of secrecy as to
names, and as a result a number of
brilliant young men Of limited means
will con tinue to serve their country.

THIRTY YEARS olu

With this issue. The Herald rounds
out its thirtieth year Of continuous
publication, not having missed an issue
in all that time Notwithstanding the
many changes in owpership. in the
days OF it's earlier existence. and in
passing through the calamities OF n
lire and tornado, to say nothing Of the
fierce political and other conflicts it
has been up against, Half Of that
time it has been under the present
management and, like mos. country
newspapers, has had its ups and downs
but, we feel gratiHed that there have
been more ups than downs hence, we
are still here and goodness only knows
how many more years the people will
have TO put up with US. just 40 long,

vancemsnt. We can't stand still and
won't go back.
We appreciate the assistance we
have had and the patronage that has
been accorded The Herald during the
years that we have presided in this
sanctum sanctorum and it has been
our desire to make The Herald bigger
and better and credit to the town
and other businesses with which we
we're associated. We have invested no
small part OF our earnings in provid-
ing better machinery, building and
equipment.
Thirty years has wrought many
changes in Beaver. Since the FIRST
issue OF The Herald, tthen The Terri
torial Advocated was printed, in what
was then mo Mans Land" our coun-
try has gone through many different
experiences and has been developed

CURE FOR PNEUMONIA

During my stay IN Pasadena. Cali
furnia, l9O1-S, ! read in Los Angeles
papers of deaths from pneumonia of
from . to D persons every II hours.
The 9th Of Feb, 1908, | got the fol-
lowing prescription inserted in four
of the Los Angeles daily papers; the
public read it and the next day the
high death rate dropped suddenly, the
papers only recording one death Il
day.
"This simple remedy was discover.
ed 20 years ago. and can be had ut
any drug store for about 30 cents.
Seven people died in one day last
week from this malady. ! am ready
to defend this remedy as an absolute
sure for pneumonia even IN the last
stages. The remedy is;
'Saturate ball of cotton one
inch in diameter with spirits of grain
alcohol, add 3 drops of chloroform
To each ball of cotton, place II be
tween the patients teeth. tafter first
using vaseline on the gums to prevent
burning) and let the patient inhale the
fumes in long. deep brcaihs for II
minutes; then rest for IL minutes or
more; inhale again and repeat the
above for 20 times. Change the cot
ton every Z minutes, else the saliva
win dilute the alcohol
"The result of the above method
will be that the lungs will relax AMI
expand to their norihal condition; III

County Road Board to use
Ford Truck in Road Work

The County Road Board and the
Board of County Commissioners have
done a wise thing in purchasing a
Ford truck for the purpose of keeping
county prisoners AT work on the
roads. The machine is the latest mo
del in Ford construction and gives the
highest efficiency. The truck was put
into commission Monday and the
prisoners are now at work ON the
Florida road, putting it in first class
shape.
Here's the sensible proposition
The Road Board bought the machine
the commissioners hire the guard to
take charge of the machine and o'l
cost is divided between the tw'
boards. all of course coming from
the county treasury. q. X. Gibbs

been employed for this purpose. and
is getting results right now.
Much favorable comment has been
expressed upon this inexpensive
method of keeping our roads in good
repair.
