NATURE PROVIDES THE IN
GRADIENTS.
the New Herbal
Remedy, Now Endorsed by Local
People.

If the digestive organs are not
properly performing the work which
nature has assigned to them, then
nutrition, which is absolutely essen
tial to the recovery of other diseased
parts, will be lacking and there can
be no permanent relief. When bod
ily nutrition is normal, the stomach
digests the food, blood absorbs, car
ries the nourishment to the different
parts of the body, causing the various
organs to properly perform their
functions.
Nature has provided a remedy in
the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate,
the new herbal stomach remedy,
which is now being introduced here.
1t is purely vegetable and it's correc-
tive and constructive qualities are so
pronounced that beneficial results are
noticed from the first day.. That this
is true, it is only necessary to listen
to the statements made daily by local
people who have given Argo-Phos-
phate fair trial and have been bene-
fitted thereby.
1t is dispensed by Miller's Phar-
macy.

Private Lynn Morrow has returned
to the county with a discharge from
Camp Lee. He was one of the few
county boys who volunteered in the
Cavalry service. OF course General
Pershing had very little practical use
for horsemen, so Lynn was kept at
Camp Lee for months, very much to
his disgust and not a little to his
discomfort. General Sherman and
Private Morrow are unanimous in
their opinion what war really is.
Private Morrow is back in the county
to stay and is glad Of it.

Complaints have been piling In be-
cause the county roads are not plowed.
The people on both sides OF the coun-
ty are Joining In this protest. which
has been heightened because Of the
interruption 70 train connections be-
tween the two sides OF the county.
In explanation Il may be said that
Mr.. William Holmes Is in the woods
with the surveying gagng and has
been there since before the snow
storms came. Mr.. Holmes always
acted promptly when the snow storms
came and got the roads plowed out.
However, Mr. Holmes Is only one
commissioner and has TO do only with
the roads on this side OF the county
II seems that the roads on the west
side have been neglected as much
as have those over here so that his
absence from town isn't responsible
for all the delay.
We feel certain that when he re-
turns the roads will be taken care OF,
but It ought not be necessary to wait
for him TO get the action needed. Mr.
Holmes can't be in two places at once
and he is on the surveying gang at a
loss TO his personal business in order
to put that work through efficiently.
We would advise those who COM
plain TO kick to the county road COM
missions office, not to thenewspap-
ers.

to save coal, were placed back on the
old schedule on Thursday and that
fact has greatly relieved the tension
in Crystal Falls over the non-arrival

ers were the ones that bothered us
the most. They have been restored

the service will gradually grow bet

that gold. which II the foundation OF
our reserves and tho backbone OF all
credit transactions. should be concen-
trated In the Federal Reserve banks
az reserve and for use In the settle
ment OF balances growing out OF In
ternational transactions. and II Ia the
desire OF the treasury that tho con-
seryation OF gold should continue and
that there should be no revival OF the
uso Of gold coin or gold certificates
for pay rolls and every day transat-
tions generally. In which II serves no
useful purpose. The circulation OF
gold coin and gold certificates tends
to dissipate the reserves. and the cir
culation OF gold coin involves a con-
siderable loss due 10 abrasion, which
Is avoided by having the gold carried
In the vaults OF the Federal Reserve
Banks and the Treasury.
