The readers of this paper will be

stages, and that is catarrh. Ca
tarrh being greatly influenced by
constitutional conditions, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken intern
ally and acts thru the blood on the
mucous suraces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, giving the patient
strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in

have so much in the curative pow

DOG TEAM PUTS TRAVELLING MEN
 IN JACK POT

Who is rcsponSible when a man borrows dog team, takes friend out tor an airing, returns and ties the dogs up to chinaware; the dogs break the chinaware-now wEo pays the damage, the oorrowee, tke owner or the ridee?
 Last Friday when a bunch of tray cling men arrived on the Alaska, Gus Gilis, one of the aforesaid travelling men, purchased dog team to make the trip to the interior.
 Yesterday, E. w. Smith, trayeling man representing the Black Manufac- turing company, borrowed the dog team from Gihs to take l.. B. Gug- gisberg, representative oi the Walk Over shoes out for an airing.
 The airing was given all right, all right.
 The return trip was made in safety and Smith took the dogs down into the basement of the Overland and tied them up to--a bunch of Delco bat terieS.
 This morning there were batteries and dogs all over the basement.
 The damage was estimated, at the lowest to be $210. co.
 Somebody had to pay that damage. Who?
 Smith said it was Gillis who was liable. Gillis hcked-he didn't tie the dogs up to the batteries. Guggisberg was the third member. He only took the ride.
 Matters were becoming hmderburg- ish.
 It was getting near train time and the bunch were to hit the trail for Anchorage, but there was a damage to be paid for.
 Guggisberg finally said something about it was rather an expensive ride but he would pay $25 ther raised his ante to $35. It was up to Gillis and Smith. Smith hedged and Gillis passed. At last the train whistled to east off and the bunch was still at the Overland.
 Gill;s said he would split the differ ence with Smith, just to show that he was real Optimo sport and the $210 was at last paid.
 The bunch then hiked for the de- pot and caught the train that had been held for them.

Plate for Worn-Down Heels.

At time when economy seems to be pcrmeating our national life, the in- vention of simple metal piece for building up worn-dOwn heels seems most appropriate, the Scientific Amerl. can says. Leon Weinstein of St Louis has brought out a tread plate which has m upturned marginal flange taper Ing on opposite sides of the middle line and disappearing near its edges. The plate Is perforated and has up standing endorsements about the re. spectlve perforations the emboss. ments being of such height as to cor. respond to the shape of the heel to which the tread Is tO he attached. Thus 1t becomes possible to build up the worndOwn heel with one of these new tread plates in n few moments time and at an insignificant cost; and the wearing qualities of the new heel are far greater than those of leather.

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
 Relieved by Black k-Draught.

RossyiIle, Oa.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of Ehis place, writes: My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- jured himself with piece of heavy ma shinery, across inc abdomen. He was SO sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs., and ieD off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became comtipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their mG dicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered SO. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.
 sent and bought Thedford's Black DraEght. made him take a big dose, and when 1t began to act he tainted, he was in such misery, but he got relief and began to mend at once. He got well, and we both feel he owes his life to Thedford's Black -Draught."

LABOR SHORTAGE COMES AS BLOW TO WHOLE
 SCHEME OF AMERICA
CBy Review Leased WIrel

lBy Review Leased Wlfel
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-That the shortage of labor in war indus tries, estimated at nearly one mil ion men, is still seriously curtail- ing production and unless quickly remedied threatens to result in a shortage of supplies and equip ment for the army was empha- sized today in a statement of the department of labor. The short age in skilled labor is becoming almost as acute as that in un- skilled labor. The available sup ply of unemployed labor practi- cally is depleted, the department said, and the one remedy lies in the patriotic recognition by non war employers that they must re- lease labor to war industries in or der not to imperil the supply of the military forces.
 Solution of the problem has been put up to the individual states and Nathan A. Smyth, as sistant director general of the em- plOyment service today notified all state directors that the serious ness of the situation can scarcely be exaggerated.
 Instance after instance" Mir. Smyth added. has come to our attention where the lack of un- skilled labor threatens to cause some highly essential project to close down."
