Thy God.

God is one from whom we expect all
good, and in whom we can take refuge
In all our needs, so that to have God
is nothing else than to trust and be-
lieve In him with all our hearts: as
have often said, that trust and faith
of the heart alone make both God and
Idol. II the faith and trust are
right, then thy God is also the
right God; and. again, if thy trust il
false and wrong, then thou hast not
the right God. For the two, faith and
God, hold close together. Whatever,

Cold Water Thaws Ground.

Use of water to thaw frozen ground
in gold placer mining has recently
been tried out with great success In
the Candle region. Seward peninsula.
Wash. The innovation was the dis
coyery of J. Fl. Miles, superintendent
of the Alaska Mine corporation. A
description of the Miles method, as
given by George FL. Kilroy, just re-
turned from Nome, states that the
cold water is introduced through small
pipes into the frozen placer ground in
such method that heat Is extracted
from 1t to thaw the ore. A Candle
dredge, which used the method dur
in the past summer season, is said
to have cut the cost of operation
from 80 to so cents per cubic yard.

NO MORE PUNCTURES OR
BLOWOUTS.
D~~e~.s Ts.- ELL. TIL. pI. e A.


The entire automobile industry has
received with considerable satisfac-
ton the announcement that the
answer to the pneumatic tire problem
has been found, and the most interest
ing feature of this announcement Is
the fact that the statement is not
based on theory, but on actual fact, In
asmuch as the new tire filler which
win replace air has been put to prac-
teal test covering a period Of over 8
years and is already In use by over
$1,000 automobile owners. This resil-
lent filler Is not q liquid, and no inner
tubes are used. The material possesses
great resiliency, rides like air yet is
not affected by punctures; will not
blow out and doubles the life Of tires.
No spare tires or spare rims are needed.
It differs from other so-called tire filters
In that 1t will not flatten or harden and
Is not affected by either heat or cold.
Tests made by the Ford Owners
Club, Widney Resiliometer, Technical
Universities and over $4,000 users
prove that this remarkable tire filler
rides like air over the toughest roads
and every indication points to Its
acceptance and adoption by the auto
mobile industry as q successor to air
In automobile tires.

WOMEN SUFFERERS may
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

RAILROAD DEFICIT
IS 100 MILLIONS
ESTIMATED AMOUNT TO BE THE
GOVERNMENTS LOSS IN oP.
GRAFTON.
CALCULATED BY OFFICIALS
Six Months Increased Freight Rates
Needed To Recoup-Should Con-
aress Not Approve Swear
Extension U. s. Loses.

Washington.-The governments loss
I'm operating the railroads in 1918 Is
calculated by railroad administration
officials at less than $3.50, 100000. This
represents the difference between the
aggregate amount the government will
be compelled to pay railroad compan.
les as rental for the use OF their prop
erties-the so-called guaranteed re-
turn-and the net income which the
government will receive from the rail,
roads.
1t will take six months more of re-
ceipts from the increased freight rates
to permit the government to recoup its
losses, officials believe. If Congress
does not approve of the proposed five
year extension of federal control. and
as a consequence President Wilson
carries out his announced intention OF
returning the roads to private man
agement at an early date, the govern
ment's loss will not be made up.
This deficit does not include the big
buAl5-DCIWOCh P1OVyVVVpoOu hha YAvVS
000, 000-which have been loaned to
railroads to help them pay for the ex-
tensive program of Improvements and
purchase of new cars and locomotives.
These loans will be repaid eventually.
The governments loss cannot be
stated exactly until the compensation
of each road is finally determined and
until the Interstate commerce commits
sion complies figures on earnings and
expenses for November and December.
Officials believe, however, that the ag-
gregate government compensation for
all roads will be about s950,000, 900,
and that the net income from the rail-
road operations, credited to the gov
eminent, will be little more than
100000. For the 10 months up to
Nov. 1, the governments net income
from the railroads, as reported by the
/. c., C. was $6O5, 100000.
