ONLY POWERFUL
MEDICINE WILL END
RHEUMATISM

It matters not whether you have had
agonizing pains from rheumatism for 20
years or distressing twitchings for 20
weeks. Rheuma is strong enough and
mighty and powerful enough to. drive
rheumatic poisons from your body and
abolish all misery or money back.
Wilfred F.. Root and all druggists sell
Rheuma on a no-cure-no-pay basis. A
large bottle is inexpensive, and after you
take the small dose as directed once a
day for two days you should know that
at last you have obtained a remedy that
will conquer rheumatism. ~
For over five years throughout Amer
lea Rheuma has been prescribed by
broad minded physicians and has re-
leased thousands from agony, pain and
despait.-Adv.

Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive

In This Story
Says corns stop hurting, then
lift right off without
one bit of pain

Hospital records show that every time
you cut corn you invite loekiaw or
blood poison, which is needless, saws a
Cincinnati authority, who tells you that
a quarter ounce of drug called freez-
ono costs but a few cents at any drug
store but is sufficient to rid ones feet
OF every hard or soft corn or callus with
out even one little twinge of pain.
You simply apply a few drops of this
freezone on tender, aching corn and
the soreness is instantly relieved Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out, root
and ALL with your fingers.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she will
be glad to know Of this.-Adv.

Peculiar Bush Beans,

Careful tests have shown that Ger.
tain kinds of bush beans which as a
rule bear one good crop of early beans
and then cease to produce, will, when
started in fiowpots under glass, pro-
duce a fine crop much earlier than
those planted in the open soil. and con-
tnue to produce beans all through the
summer up until the vines are cut by
frost in autumn. 1t is supposed the
age of the plant makes the difference,
as the one started under glass is
older before it bears any beans at all.

the cause can rot be determined but
Zeke declares that big bull buffalo
and deer were in deadly combat on
the Arkansas River bridge and refus-
cd to let him pass. The deer escaped
but the buffalo disputed the right of
Zeke's jitney TO use the bridge as a
thoroughfare and in true primeval
day style attempted to shove the car
off the bridge. One effort however
was enough to discourage him and
aside from some badly bent headlights
no other damage was done to the car
but the buffalo retired from the fray.
The animals were couple that are
kept in the pasture near the bridge
and had evidently escaped and met on
the bridge.-Wiley Journal.

COAL ADMINISTRATION
Efforts Being Made to Secure Suffic-
lent Coal to Prevent Suffering.

The coal situation became so acute
in this section last week that the city
council appointed committee of three
aldermen, C. B. Ray, E. R. Jones and
Fl. c. Davis, to handle the question.
1t was decided to compel everyone
seeking to buy coal to get permit
from the city clerk. These are only
to be issued on signed applications
showing that applicant has not over
100 pounds of coal. Permits in town
are for 500 pounds or at long dis
tance from town as high as 1900 can
be obtained provided any dealer has
it. So far Lamar has been apportion-
ed only one car day, but as the per-
mits on file show that over one-third
of this has gone to Baca county May
or Church is making strong protest
to the state coal administrators for a
two car allowance. If this is secured
it will probably prevent actual suffer
ing in most cases, but the one car
ration will not be sufficient for the
entire territory. 1t is hoped that the
weather will continue to moderate as
the cold wave of the first of the week
was a terror on coal supplies. The
decision of the national miners union
to ask the men to go back to work
may relieve the situation in a short
time. Colorado has plenty of coal for
its own use and has had all the time.
but the heavy drafts made by neigh
boring states where the miners were
tied up has made the shortage here.
At the best the shortage will be acute
for more than a month.
