they seem TO be connected with other
deposits being worked by Fred Kohl

DR.. S. S. Warren, who is interest
ed in the five claims mentioned
above, says that at present these
claims are turning out about two
tons a day. lie believes that the
field altogether, worked at capacity,
will run at least 100 tons daily. As
the price Of the metal at present is
from Soc to $l.2O per unit of 20
lbs, It is not hard TO see that the
possibilities Of the district are great
The variation in price Is with the
percentage Of manganese in the rock,
which runs from 40 to 90 in the
field being worked. The latter figure
IS the highest ever reached in man
ganese, and is called "pyrolucite."
Samples Of this grade have been
taken from the Mcclure Hoagland
claims, according to DR.. Warren.

THE Making OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes In
contact with the medicine Is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine Is ~pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It Is the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine

female ills.

Worse Than the BARRIERS Union.

In the reign Of Elizabeth every beard
of a fortnight's growth was subject to
a tax Of SO cents. Peter the Great, In
17O5, imposed a tax upon the boards
Of the Russian mobiles Of 100 rubles.
while the common peoples beard Tux
amounted to 1 kOpec. This tax caused
much dissatisfaction, but in spite Of
this the impost was extended to st.
Petersburg In 1714. The tax on boards
was confirmed by Catherine I. In 1925,
by Peter II In 1928. by Empress Anne

after a foraging trip into the Yumuri.
1--WE met some of Lacret's men and

you say to that?"
"Does that mean the end Of the

Esteban covertly appraised his Sis
ter's charms, but respecting her terror
Of Cobo he did not speak his thoughts.
He was certain. however, that Rosa
knew, as well as he, what motive lay
behind the fellows tireless persecu-
lions Of the valley jewellers; for, in
spite of their isolation, stories Of CobO
had reached the refugees-stOries that
had rendered both the boy and the girl
sick with apprehension. The colonel,
1t seemed. had nearly died of his
machete wound, and on recovering he
had sworn to extermlnate the wasps
that had stung him. He had sworn
other oaths, too, oaths that robbed rs.
teban Of his sleep.

atty to him was the most precious thing

that swarthy rufian hunting her dowr

CAPT. M'CANNEL RE-
TURNS FROM Fl. RILEY
MinOt Officer Had About Com leted
Course for Overseas Duty When
Armistice Was Signed-Tells
of Life in Camp.

Capt. Archie D. MCDANIEL returned
from Fort Riley, Kan, Saturday,
where he had spent several months in
training for overseas service.
The Captain had practically COM
pleted his course and would have been
ready for overseas duty by the first
OF the year, had the hostilities con-
tinued. Naturally.he is pleased to get
back but no more so than his many
friends are to have him with them
again, for he was very anxious to be
sent across.
The Captain returns in as fit phys
ical condition as any pugilist ready
for bout. The fifteen and twenty
mile day hikes reduced him twenty
pounds and placed him in the pink Of
condition. h
Fort Riley is training camp pri-
marily to train soldiers for overseas
duty and from the time the Captain
arrived until he received his honorable
discharge, there was just one contin-
ual grind. The war department has
everything figured down to perfection.
the average list Of casualties is taken
| into consideration and each Medical
Corps is taught just how many SER
iously wounded soldiers must be taken
care of for each company, how many
are likely to be killed and the number
slightly wounded. The war depart
ment anticipates all Of these things,
and prior to an engagement, provides
the proper number of stretchers and
supplies of all kinds.
Life in the camp was not without
its pleasures. Ones individuality Is
not supposed to count for much, espec-
tally at the beginning. The medical
and surgical men are told that while
they may have been Of the greatest
Importance, back home, the army
knows nothing about this. An effort
is made to break a mans dignity and
this is usually done most effectively
the very first day. When medical
officer arrives at camp, his military
cap at once spots him as new man.
No matter how dignifed a medical
man he may be, the newcomer is sin.
gled out and greeted in some such
manner as this: "Why, hello, Doc!
How are you? How's the Ford?"
And if the doctor harpens to wear a
beard, the whole camp sets up a
great "B-a-a-a-a" the moment they
catch sight of him. The doctor loses
no time in getting rid Of his hirsute
appendage.
Capt. MCDANIEL, who prior to his
entering the military service, was one
of the most prominent eye, ear and
nose specialists in the Northwest, has
taken charge of his office again and
is preparing to reopen his hospital at
once.
