TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

RoSsville, GAINS. Kate Lee Able, OF
this place, writes: "My husband Is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he Ao-
iured himself with piece of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen. He ~as
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. HE
weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed ITO lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, 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.

The Price Of Gold.

(The San Francisco Chronicle.)
AS gold, under present conditions,
will buy no more lobar and supplies
than paper, high prices affect that
industry more than any other. If
there were a free market, gold would
go to premium and then mining
could continue, for the price of gold
would adjust itself to that of labor
and materials. But there is no free
market for gold anywhere. The price
OF gold is fixed by the Government
and payment is made in paper, re-
dcamable in gold, according to its
face, but not being offered FOR re-
demption.
Some gold miners ask to have the
mint price increased, which opers up
a large subject. Others ask for
bounty to be paid durtng the war.
Governme do not wish to do
either. but still want the production to
continue.
Nothing is being done. Production is
declining and our Government there
fore. is dCing the only thing it can
do under existing law, which is to
restrict the use Of gold in the arts in
order that there may be more for
coinage.

the Republicans were not slow to is
sue a similar statement. Now. how

booming of the political siege guns,

on the day after election the candi-

have supported the Administration

LAST DAY-BUY A BOND.
PERSHING DAY,

This day, the last of the great Loan
period, has been termed "Pershlng
Dav" Happy, indeed, was the sug-
ges+ion so to name the final day Of
the campaign. Today marks the
close of the most colossal financial
effort ever made by any country in
>tba world. If the United States fails
10 raise something more than bill
lion dollars today, the loan will not
ha a success. 4 billion dollars a day
means almost a million a minute.
But we are sure that, under the pa
tronage of the peerless leader of our
Expeditionary Force who has over
come even greater obstacles in
France, the final day of the Loan will
be the most successful of all, and
that when all the returns are In, the
country will be over the top. Not to
accomplish this would be like desert
ing General Pcrshing in critical
hour America is on trial today.
skeptics all over the world doubt
that the sum desired will be sub
scribod. America must show them
that they are wrong. However, it is
not so much the opinion of neutrals
and others we care about, but of
General Pershing and his valiant
men, who, with their belligerents,
have been winning victory after vic
tory in France and Flanders ever
since Marshal Foch gave the word
to advance when the German tide
was at it's height. They have done
more than their "bit" They are
looking to us to do likewise We
dare not fail them

PRICE OF MILK.

New Britain, Conn,

PUSH AND PULL.

Push and Pull are brothers twain
That ever you will meet
The one lives down in Hard Work
Lane,
The one on Easy Street.
Push and Pull are each a force
With measure flowing full:
But Pull is like a racing horse
And Push is like a bull.
Pull has ways OF getting things
That Push knows nought about;
For Pull is ever working strings
He's quite a clever clout.
Push is pleased to plug away
With what he has to do;
While Pull is schcming all the day
With many ends in view.
Pull perambulates in front
While Push is in the rear;
And folks are ever on the hunt
For Pull,-to get, his ear.
Push and Pull own all the stores
Dame Fortune cares to bless;
Their names are carved upon the
doors
InaC open to success.
Pull presents dis name in sold
And Push in black and white.
Whenever Pull obtains control
Poor Push gees out of sight.
Pull will never show his face
When Push is IN command
And honest effort makes the place
Whore faithful workers stand
Pull and Push each has hi swork
To keep the world alive;
And one connives with those who
shirk,
And one helps those who strive.
Push and Pull are Right and Wrong,
Depending always whether
Push is for the weak or strong
And Pull is Juggling leather.
