PRAISE TO DREC0

matism and Nervousness.
Surprised Him to See How
Quick Dreco Took Hold on
Him.

1T was surprise to see how this
new medicine Dreco took hold on me
and eased my pains" said Mr.. George
M. Ross, a we'll known farmer. living
on r. r. No. Kokomo, Ind.
Il had pains in my back, my kidneys
were weak ard my whole system
seemed to be run down. My stomach
failed to digest my food but let it lay
there and sour and bloat me up with
gas. frequently had headaches, dizzy
spells struck me. my bowels were
bound up and my nerves were all to
pieces.
THAT was how felt when l started
to take Dreco. 1t was surprising to
see how It took hold of me and began
to get my troubles Strengthened out.
Before I had finished the first bottle
all the ache was gone from MY
rheumatic joints. My appetite picked
up; nerves quieted down and began
to sleep sound. My backache soon
left me and my bowels were acting
regularly every day MY friends be-
gan to notice how much better I was
looking and I sure was feeling better.
I kept on taking Dreco and I can
truthfully say today that am well and
strong again"
4 Dreco acts on the vital organs very
promptly and restores them to natural
activity. That's why Dreco is SO sue
cessful-it acts like Nature intends it
to.
Mr.. Powers. the well known Dreco
expert, has headquarters at Thistleth-
waite's Drug Store, to meet the local
public and explain the merits Of this
great remedy. See him today.-Adv.

Foster Is quoted - saying that the foreign
err have been the backbone Of the strike, and
the only way can explain It is that they can't
read the English newspapers. Not long ago The
News printed an interview with foreign born
striker in the Pennsylvania steel region, quoting
the foreigner a. saying that II the strike was lost
it would be the damned, dirty Americans who
must bear tie responsibility.
The American worlmen have not always been
content with their lot. They have deserved the
best and they have not hesitated about asking
for It. The foreigners who have been what Fos-
ter calls the backbone Of the steel strike have
been unable to determine what they wanted. In
their ignorance and because Of their inability to
speak or read English they have fallen prey to
any radical leader who cared to tell them tale.
Being thus easily influenced they struck, and
many Of them remain out. The Americans had
sense enough to read and think for themselves.
If the strike is still on it is because the foreign
ers are remaining away from the plants. Foster
might well have said that the foreigners have
been the backbone Of the strike because of their
ignorance and because they have been exploited
by such men as himself"

the other hand, if the car has been

trouble gradually develops, it is natur-

the clutch facings.
The Dragging Clutch.
BY a dragging clutch is meant that

but is often due to the throw of the
clutch being too little. In most cars

A dragging clutch will be indicated
by a clashing of the gears when shift
ing to low or reverse speed. and by
the engine having a tendency to stall.
when the clutch is thrown out, but car
is in gear there not being this tenden'
cy to stall when gears are in neutral.

clutch revolving because of its weight

this, and refacing 1t may stop the

A. Clutch Troubles.
The troubles to which the clutch are
subject might be divided into four
classes. namely, slipping. gripping
dragging and spinning.
As its name implies, a slipping
clutch is one which slips and does not
hold properly. 1t Is indicated by the
engine racing when starting tho car
and while the clutch is engaged, the
foot pedal up all the way, this racing
often being followed by a sudden jump
of the car. The clutch will slip when
ascending a hill, but except when In
low gear, the driver is liable not to
notice the slipping, and will insted
be made to believe that the engine
lacks power.
When you find that your car docs
not climb hills, without your shifting
to second or low gear, do not assume
that the engine has lost power, with
out being reasonably sure that the
clutch is not slipping, as many man
is fooled in this way.
II the clutch is of the >dry-plate disc
type, the remedy for gripping. when
the springs are all right, is the same
as for slipping. namely, the washing
with kerosene.
If the clutch is wet plate, then
some oil should be poured into the
housing so as to make the proportion
Of oil to kerosene greater.
We find that clutch troubles are due
either to the adjustment OF the springs

THE GOOSE

The other day a friend Of ours sent
us goose and it looked good when it
reached the table. 1t looked good
enough to eat, but it didn't look that
good when we got through trying to
carve 1t. Did you ever try to carve a
goose?
Carving goose, we found, is an ex.
act science. The tools to use are an
axe and stick of dynamite. Knives
are Of no use whatever. The wing of
the goose hooks on away back under
the walking beam. We started on
said goose at noon and by three
O'Clock in the afternoon we had one
wing party unlocked. In the mean.
time the goose had travelled all over
the dining room and had essayed one
or two trips up the chimney via the
, fireplace. We closed all the doors
and fastened the windows so he
couldn't get outside and escape down
the street and then we got the axe
The family went upstairs and left
us with the bird. 1t was a long, hard
bout. but we had all the legs and
wings off along toward five o'clock.
Then we gave the whole thing to the

GUARANTEED PRICE OF
WHEAT UP SIPS to $3.50
Advance Made at Gulf Ports to En-
courage Shipments, Says Director
Barnes

New York, June 26.-An increase in
the governments guaranteed price Of
wheat from $2.2s to $3.50 a bushel at
the terminal markets Of Galveston and
New Orleans, effective July ], was
announced tonight by julius Rarnes,
United States wheat director, under
the authority granted him in an ex-
tensive order issued yesterday by
President Wilson.
''The large available supply Of ocean
tonnage" said Mr.. Barnes in announc-
ing the order, "and the prospective
larger demand for grain movement,
made it both advisable and desirable
that the Gulf ports should ship
larger quantities of foodstuffs than
was possible under the conditions a
year ago. 1t is hoped by this mod
crate advance to attract there enough
wheat to supply the tonnage that can
be loaded"
No other change in the guaranteed
prices now affecting Atlantic and Pa
cific ports are contemplated, Mr..
Barnes said.

.DORAH REPEATS
ATTACK ON |. OF N.
Points to Apparent Dangers in the
Clause Covering Military Force
TO Be Supplied by the United
States for League.

Washington, June 25.- Senator
Borah made another attack on the
League of Nations today in debate on
the provision in the bin for an army
of 100000. The disarmament provis-
ion Of the treaty, he said, was being
given one explanation to the people
and an entirely different construc-
ton in appropriation committees and
in the parliaments which have to
deal with the subject"
Senator Borah charged that the
peace delegates of the nations had
gone to Versailles committed to the
freedom of the seas, abolition of con-
scription and reduction Of ornaments,
but had broken faith on all Of them
''There is, in my opinion" he adj
ded, "a good reason for refusing to
inhibit CONSUMPTION. The volunteer
system never could be relied upon to
send soldiers to protect all the ma
tons of Europe
Senator Borah pointed out that
General March, chief Of staff, had told
the senate military committee an
army of 100000 would be sufficient for
the United States under the league
of nations if the other nations do their
share" and added
Heaven only knows what we will
need if the other nations do not If
we are going to exercise economic
pressure on other nations for every
little cause, and if we're going to po-
lice the world, he is a dwelling idiot
who thinks that means any thing but
a stupendous army
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
interrupted to say that British states
men and newspapers had declared
Great Britain would not materially re-
duce her navy because Of the crea-
ton of the league
Il deny that most emphatically,"
said Cenator Hitchcock, Democrat, of
Nebraska.
"And assert it most positively .
replied Senator Reed, promising to
submit statements of Winston
Churchill and others.
