BETTER THAN
ASPIRIN FOR
HEADACHE
New Perfected Tablet, Called Aspi-
tone. Free from Heart Depressing
Efects-Do Not Upset Stomach.

Phyicians and druggists are yer,
enthusiastic over the new and i'm
proved aspirin tablets, called Aspi-
tone, which do not depress the heaIo.
Ihey say that Aspitone is slightly
stimulating instead OF depressing to
the heart and should be used espe-
cially for headache, neuralgia, rheu-
matism and other heart weakening
diseases, such as influenza severe
colds and threatened pneumonia.
Many physicians are substituting
Aspitone 70 arpirin in all of their
practice on the theory that even
IL the patients heart is strong, there
is no reason to give a heart depress-
ing effect.
Druggists report a large demand
for Aspitone tablets on account OF
the prevalence OF colds and influenza.
They say that the ideal treatment for
colds Is laxative at bed time with
one or two Aspitone tablets to con-
troll the pain. fever, inflammation and
tendency toward congestion and
pneumonia. Aspitone may be had at

Wild Hemp Growing in
Canada May Be Used for
Making Binder TWine

Wild hemp has possibilities for the
manufacture OF binding twine and its
cultivation may become a part of Can
ada's postwar Industrial program.
The Indians of the coast and In.
terror OF central British Columbia have
long been famous as carvers, weav-
crs and boat-builders, but il was only
recently that attention was attracted
to the fine rope which they make from
wild hemp. At Awiligate In the Bulk.
ley valley near New Hazelton there Is
village of Indians who display re-
markable skill in making rope from
the abundant wild hemp which covers
the surrounding country. They have
been making this rope for centuries
by a method of their own, and 1t Is
so strong that they use 1t for towing
their heavily laden canoes up the cur
rents of swift rivers. This Is cOnvinc-
ing proof of it's stoutness. They also
make twine and thread from the hemp,
but not in such quantities as In the
days before they were able to pur-
chase these articles cheaply from
traders. The wild hemp closely re-
sembles the common fire weed Of the
United States.

The freshman, $25 too many in his
pocket, and the sporting instinct are
concerned in this short tale of man,
gy pony sold at auction.
Into the cluster of farmers, horse
traders, picayune spectators and
loungers grouped at the corner OF
Tenth and Walnut streets one Satur-
day afternoon recently walked the
freshman and his roommate. They
the freshman and his roommate, had
$25 in cash between them. From
which depends the tale.
The auctioneer was trying to sell
an ill-favored, iron-grey pony. The
aliimal was chicken-breasted and
showed an inclination to take root
where ever it sood. The farmers
were taking no interest in the attempt
at sale. They were waiting for the
next item, good set of light har-
hess. Meantime they told each other
about their corn crops and how the
roads were.
Sporting Instinct Enters.
A lounger bid $40 for the pony. A
trader made it $11. The auctioneer
shouted for five minutes more and a
farmer boy said he'd give $12.
The freshman thought he saw a
tear in the eye of the ill-favored pony
"a tear of sadness that pony's value
should be placed so low. The fresh
man fingered a S. bill and a $40 bill
in his vest pocket and said: "$13."
The auctioneer repeated the bid
looked at the green cap, swallowed
hastily and tried to resume his recital
of the pony's good points. The farm
