New Move Is to Give Them S25O B Instead of $S5O
TOWNS EXPENSES HEAVY
BeckIey Farmer Thrown by Runaway Horse-MaSSeIli Injured at Bridge Sl,O1>-Toyn Clock Doesn't Strike Other News Items of Interest.

Teachers in the Berlin schools may not get the $35O increase, as voted, on account of the heavy expense the town will undergo this year, it was stated this morning. The town will be obliged to pay out $S,000 Or more as it's share foh the new road. If the teachers are given the S350 increase ~$t will mean nearly 5000 more out of the towns treasury. according 70 those interested in the matter. Pub lie sentiment is entirely with tn , teachers and little doubt remains but that substantial increase will be ] granted. Few of the surrounding towns have given the full amount re- quested by the teachers, and it is the opinion of those familiar with the sit , uation here that the teachers prob ably will get a $250 increase Teach- CTS in the Berlin schools are not as we'll paid as those in most other towns.

 All drug stores are now supplied with the wonderful new elixir, so as you have to do to get rid of that cold is to step into the nearest drug store. hand the clerk a half a dol lar for bottle of Aspironal and tell him to serve you two teaspoon fuls with four teaspoonfuls of water in glass. With your watch in your hand, take the drink at one swallow and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel your cold fading away like a dream within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all druggists invite you and expect you to try it. Ev- erybody's doing it. rt+
 When your cold or cough is re- ieved, take the remainder of the bottle home to your wife and babies, for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective, the easiest to take and the most agreeable cold and cough remedy for infants and children.-(Adv.) dtf

A "DEkD SHOT"
 --SAYS MINISTER
Black -Draught Given High Praise As Stomach and Liver Medi- cine by Well-knOwn Old Gentleman Who Has
 Used 1t.

Mineola, Texas.-The Rev. M G. Jenkins, a retired minister oi the M. E. church South, living ir this city, says: "I have used Rlack-Draught as a stomach and liver medicine, and have never found it's equal.
 Once I suffered for two months with cramps and pains, tried ev- erything I could hear of without avail, but Black-Draught was q "dead shot,"
 I am known here and all over the state for my honesty and truthfulness. l am IS years old and have used Black -Draught for years.
 I can highly recommend it to any one as a liver medicine that has no equal. It is excellent for stomach, liver and other ailments. I use it for bad taste in the mouth, headache and other sick nesses that come from the dis orders of the liver"
 Thedford's Black-Draught is purely vegetable, and acts actively on the bowels, gently stimulating the liver, and helping to increase the normal discharge of bile into the intestines.
 It assists in the digestion of food and relieves constipation in a prompt and natural way.

Lazy Windmill
 Passing Fast As
 Dutch Landmark

Amsterdam, Jan. 21.-Holland is slowly but surely losing the one characteristic of it's landscape made famous in art and known to every schoolboy-the squat, fat, lazy look ing windmills that for centuries have stood out all over the country's flat surface.
 These quaint structures arc grad ually giving way to highly practical but ugly steam and electric plants Dutch technical men say the wind mill is doomed.
 Now and then, large gorup of them is replaced by one electric plant, and, in the course of year a number are destroyed by fire - presenting spectacular blaze with the big burning wings wheeling around like fiery arms. They are never reconstructed.
 The existing type of Dutch wind mill was invented about the year 1400. The great disadvantage of the windmill, of course, is it's abSo- lute dependence on weather condi- tions. For this reason. they are be- ing replaced, when possible, by mod ern machinery
 The Dutch windmill however much it may look in pictures to be a toy, is far from that. It is a sturdy structure. as big as a good size house, and the machinery inside IS extremely powerful.
 Naturally, great many of them remain, but the number becomes less year by year. and, so far as can be ascertained, the erection of new one is seldom undertaken.

Mustard Gas to
 be Used Against
 Poisoned Arrows

New York, Jan. 22.-Mustard gas and machine guns are to be used by Captain Harry de Windt, an English explorer, against the poisoned arrows of tribe described as "white can- nibals" on Tiburon Island, on the Pacific coast, he announced here to- day. Captain de Windt said he would leave New York in few days to lead an expedition of six civil ians and three score Mexican sol diers to the island. Tiburon is said to have rich deposits of piachblende from which radium is made.
 The island is about 40 miles from Guaymas, Mexico, which in turn, is only about AS hours by rail from Coronado Beach, Cal. The inhab- itants are said to be descendants of Dutch, Swedish and German prison CTS who escaped from Mexican pris- ons several centuries ago. Of six teen persons known to have visited the island in the past few years, in parties of two sand three. only nine are said to have returned alive, the others falling victims to the flaXen- haired, blue-eyed, white "lndians,' as the Mexican peons call them.
 -Four miles from the Mexican coast" said Mir. de Windt, "Tihuron is easily accessible. Yaqui Indians, who live on the mainland, call Ti- buron the Island of Death for the reason that any person who lands on it is shot by poisoned darts and then eated by the natives. The can nibals, in addition to bows and ar rows, use an ancient blunderbuss. They are supposed to number from 500 to 2,000 persons.
 Besides myself, the expedition I will lead will consist of Macgenzie Grieve, the companion of Harry Hawker when he fell during his at tempted transatlantic flight; an expert radium mining engineer; an expert copper mining engineer; An ton Gibbon. nephew of President Carranza of Mexico, in whose name the concession permitting the ex- ploration of the island was issued: man servant, and sixty Mexican soldiers, assigned to the party by the Mexican government. l imag inc the searchings on the island will consume about three or four months"
