TWO QUARTS BOOZE
SOLD F0R7OO BUCKS

A story is going the rounds, and
many chuckles and broad smiles ap-
pear in certain quarters, about the
experiences of a certain man who re-
Gently bought a barrel" of whisky
paying $500 for it. For the past few
weeks the gambling game has been
somewhat slow, and in order to make
both ends meet some of the gamblers
rigged up a scheme to get some of
the good long green-a schemee with
out a "kickback," says the Elko Free
Press.
They secured an old whisky barrel
and, pouring in gallon of water,
then poured in a lot of melted paraf-
fine, which formed solid wall, the
water then being drawn off. The
barrel was turned over and the same
thing done to the other end, with the
result that the barrel had two parti-
tions, small on each end and large in
the center. A quart of whisky was
introduced in each end of the barrel,
while the center was filled with
water.
Then the man who was to buy the
stuff was approached and was offered
the barrel for $500. To convince him
that the barrel was full to the brim'
small hole was bored in one end
and glass of whisky was allowed 10
run out and was handed to the man
who drank it, Then the barrel was
turned over and glass of whisky
was drawn from the other end, show
ing that the whisky extended from
one end to the other.
The man paid his money and took
the barrel, but when he got home h
found that he had bought but two
quarts of whisky and fifty gallons OF
water. He couldn't "squeal," as it is
unlawful to buy whisky, and the gam
blers knew they had him when the
deal was made. No, we don't know
any names in this transaction, but the
story is true.

MILLION ASKED FOR
AIR MAIL SERVICE

Of interest to Winnemuccans be-
cause of recent activity in creating
this city permanent station on the
North American transcontinental air
route, is the article published in met
ropolitan newspapers stating that
one million dollars for the develop
ment of an aerial mail service be-
tween New York and San Francisco
is included in the postofice appro-
priation estimate which will be pre-
sented to congress by the postmaster
general. This was stated in tele-
gram from Otto Praeger, second as
sitant postmaster central, to POST
master Charles w. Fay of San Fran
cisco.
If Bur'eson's request is approved
by congress mail can leave New Yo,r
on Monday morning by air and ar
rive in San Francisco at noon
Wednesday. and Winnemucca would
be one Of the stopping points for the
planes.
The greatest aerial service in the
world with San Francisco as termi-
nal point will materialize within four
months after the funds are furnished.
is the belief of Praeger.
With San Francisco as the termi-
nal, sublines will be extended to
Fresno, Bakersfield, Los Angeles and
San Diego in the south, and Sacra-
mento, Chico and Redding in the
north, according to Praeger's plan.
San Francisco was determined upon
as terminal point because it is the
point of dispatch for mail to the ORR
ent and Australia, and because of the
financial and commercial nature of
the mail that is handled there.
More than seventy-two hours will
be saved when the mail planes are
put in operation. Thousands of dol
lars will be saved to banks and COM
mercial firms by the savings on in
terest, collections and exchange.

AMERICAN SHIPPERS IN
PACIFIC ATTRACT JAPAN

TOXIC. Nov. 20.-Japanese. ship
ping interests are paying much at
tention to the activities of American
shippers in the Pacific
The reason is that new American
services, since the armistice, hav been
opened in competition with the Japa-
nese lines which had nearly all of the
trade during the war.
Most of the goods brought to the
orient in American bottoms are des-
tined for Shanghai and Manila, but
considerable quantities are discharged
in Japan. Certain large japanese i'm
porters have contracted to ship large
quantities of raw cotton, iron and
steel, owing to the more favorable
rates which are offered by the Ameri-
can companies.

Don't Stay Gray! It Darkens So Naturally that Mo-
 body can Tell.

You can turn gray faded hair beau- tifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this cid famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients. are sold annually, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have a surprise await ing them, because after one or two applications the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beautiful.
 This is the age of youth. Gray haired, unattractive folks aren't wanted around. so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark. handsome hair and your youthful appearance within a few days.
 This preparation is a toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, miti- sation or prevention of disease.

Drink lots of water and stop eating meat fer . while if your Bladder
 troubles you

When YOU wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen orally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworAs the kidneys in their effort to filter 1t from the blood and they become sort Of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous waste, else you have bacllache, sick headache dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather IS bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good, reliable physi. elan at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take . tablespoonful in a glass Of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with hthia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralie acids in the urine so is no longer irritates, thus ending piaodef weakness.
