Oak 800 Feet Underground.

Men employed in driving u new
gallery in gold mine at Charlotte
Plains. i'll Victoria, Australia, have
made an astonishing discovery. At a
depth Of 800 feet below ground thew
have come upon pieces of timber,
perfectly preserved, which have every
appearance of having been sawed and
shaped by the hand of man.
Ihls timber lies in the bed of an
ancient river now being worked for
gold and the timber is oak. Now oak
has the peculiar property of lasting
for centuries when buried in water or
wet sand. Oak piles have been taken
out from under old wooden bridges,
constructed by the Romans, and
found as sound as when they were
put there nearly 1000 years ago.
Oak, known as bog oak, is found
buried in peat bogs and is perfectly
black, intensely hard and very valu-
able. At present there is an absolute
famine in seasoned oak wood, but if
we could suppress bolshevism and
open up Russia to trade that famine
would soon be ended. Just before the
war it was discovered that the bed
Of the river Moksha, for a length of
over 400 miles, is full of magnificent
old oak trees bedded in sand
The river is shallow and broad, ana
the oak can easily be raised. AS a
matter of fact, a company was being
formed to work these wonderful de-
posits when the war INTERVIEWED

Turpo is known as the Turpent.ne ONT

to distilled turpentine there are two
other very well known remedies in

grams between Barnum in New York
and Gaylord in Siam. Finally Bar
mum offered the government $3.50, 600
for the privilege of borrowing one of
the elephants for Just one year. He
agreed to support retinue OF priests
and attendants and to pay all trans
portation charges. The government
would not even consider the prop
osition and so Gaylord gave up in
disgust and cabled that the deal was
of.
But Barnum was not discouraged.
When Gaylord returned to this coun-
try. he found that the old man was
advertising white elephant from
the royal palace Of Siam. Barnum
had simply used whitewash brush
on an ordinary elephant, with the re-
suit that he had whittier elephant

attendants that tie audience could

A False Alarm.

There is road in a western state
which seems unable to form anything
like an intimate relationship between
it's trains and the advertised sched-
ule. These trains are so proverbially
late that there is a mild celebration
every time one reaches its destination
on time.
Once the word was passed thru
one little town that No. would get
in on time and big crowd gathered
at the station. Some generous citl-
zen provided quantities of red fire
and set it off along the track.
whats the trouble?" the conduc-
tor asked when he jumped off the
train.

The city officials notified the Iowa
Railway and Light Company this
week that the high line service would
lbe no longer needed in Traef after
the first of the month. Very little
high line current has been used the

when final connections and ,adjust-
ments or the new generator were be-
ing made at the plant.
Merry discouraging reports come
from the bedside of A. c. Siewers.

hospital in Chicago. Mr.. Siewers,
who is a victim of Graves disease

weeks ago but his condition was so
serious that he does not respond.

irritant-it reduces inflammation and
congestion without blistering. It is
much better than poultices and plas-
ters for this purpose, and as it has
antiseptic properties, it not only re-
lieves the condition, but removes the
cause of the trouble. Turpo will not
blister the skin or stain the cloth
ing-it is absolutely non -poisonous-a
small portion of it swallowed relieves
sore throat. IT is Invaluable for ca
tarrhal conditions, and as an antiseptic
balm for cuts and wounds.
Mothers with small children, who
have once used Turpo, find that it en-.
a5les them to check the children's colds
immediately, and protect the little ones
against the serious troubles which de-
yclop from neglected colds. Turpo is a
true home remedy. Doctors realize it's
value and recommend it. Ask your
doctor about it. It is sold by all drug
gists in Soc and Coo jars. Be sure you
BUY Iurpo and not an imitation. Tur-
pc comes in white opal jars with the
orange and black label. Your money
will be cheerfully refunded if you are
not entirely satisfied.
