After INFLUENZA, GRIP
And Other Frustrating Diseases That
Exhaust the Strenath.

There is always a depleted condi-
ton of the blood. that extreme tired
feeling, nervousness and digestive
weakness from which recovery is
slow unless a good medicine is taken.
The lack of red corpuscles in the
blood makes it too thin properly to
nourish the body, and the general
prostration, annoying humors, boils,
loss of appetite and poor digestion
prevent progress towards health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla meets these
conditions perfectly, as many people
know. 1t has proved the greatest
blood purifying, vitalizing medicine.
Nothing else so good in Spring.
It is made from a formula COM
prising Ingredients often used by the
best physicians for impure blood,
scrofula, rheumatism, weakness.
Truly 1t purifies the blood and makes
the weak strong. For a fine family
cathartic. take Hoods Pills.

If your stomach is in a revolt; if sick.

dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids
and eructate undigested food-just eat
a tablet or two of Pape's Diapepsin to
help neutralize acidity and in five
minutes you wonder what became of
the Indigestion and distress.
If your stomach doesn't take care of
your liberal limit without rebellion: if
your food is a damage instead of a

NEWS PRINT SHORTAGE
American Publishers Must Raise
Their Rates Soon.

Their Rates Soon.
New York, Dec. Alarm over the
scarcity of news print paper and its
increasing cost has brought about a
nationwide movement among pub
fishers to taks steps to meet the sit
uation.
The standard contract price for
print stock during the early months
of 1920 will be so high that the white
paper alone in d single copy of susual
size will cost two and a half cents.
This figure does not take into con-
sideration any of the other mechani-
cal costs, such printing and distri-
button.
Publishers hold that it is mani
festly impossible to sell two and half
cents worth of white paper for two
cents and live. Early increases to
three cents daily and ten cents Sunday
are urged by the American News
paper Publishers association, which
has its headquarters here.
An increase in price would remedy
only one phase of the trouble. it is
held. The scarcity of stock, and the
greatly increased cost of production
in all departments. will require in
creased advertising rates. The pub
fishers at a recent meeting decided
that as a matter of necessity they
would be forced to charge more. and
suggest the use of less space to ad-
Yertisers. Thus for the same revenue
they could print smaller papers, and
conserve the supply
The situation has become SO grave
that big and little newspapers are
working together to make the stock
of paper go round. 1t has become a
common matter for a publisher not
to know whether he would have paper
for next weeks use.

Four I. w. W. at Ottawa Refuse to

Ottawa, Dec. -Four members of

others, who were taken to Leaven-

the Franklin county jail have been
peaceable and loyaI-so loyal. in fact,
that they refused to leave the Jail
several weeks ago when two military
prisoners brought here from Fort

ASK MINERS TO WORK
Operators at Burlingame Active-Min-
ers Expected to Hold Out.


Burlingame. Kan. Dec. 1.-The
Central Coal & Mining company has
issued a notice to all miners who were
in its employ when the strike went on
in October requesting them to report
for work this morning at an advance
of Il per cent to all employees Neal
Hotchkiss, manager of the company,
said he is ready to employ a full force
at the advance named.
1t is not likely that any coal diggers
will report for duty as the sentiment
among the men is to hold out for the
31.6 per cent raise recommended by
Labor Commissioner Wilson, and they
appear determined to stay out until
this is granted.
In this community of coal produc-
ton many families are without coal
and are burning wood, which is also
difficult to secure. Both miners and
operators are being criticised The
most pronounced criticism, however, is
of the national administration because
of its apparent inability to get together
on any one proposition.
