DR.. r. NJ. Brame, diScoverer OF
Brame's Vapomentha Salve, has a
letter from C. C. Wright, Superinten-
dent of the Wilkes County, N. c., pub
lie Schools, in which he says: 1--WE
have used Brame's Vapomentha Salve
for nearly all the ills for which 1t IS
prescribed and have always secured
satisfactory results. If used in time
it has never failed to break up colds,
usually the forerunner of Grippe, In
fiuenza and pneumonia.
81 speak from personal observation,
| believe if this preparation is used
in time it will prevent the develop
ment of pneumonia in every instance,
if used according to directions"
These strong statements are fully
justified by the remarkable recov-
cries that follow. Brame's Vapomen-
tina Salve is applied freely over the
chest and throat and inserted in each
nostril. Brame's Vapomentha Salve

Mittie Jester Cumming, Who shot and

for the accused woman.

ter Mayor Stayler, of Hampton, had

KANSAS WHEAT CROP
HELD UP 28 MONTHS
Car Shortage Greatly Delays the
Moving Of Huge Yield of
Her Farms.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 31.-with
wheat bins in Kansas City elevators
practically empty and wheat arrivals
inadequate to meet the demand for ship
ments to other markets and for export,
the freight car shortage is clearly reflect
ed here.
Slightly less than 100000 bushels
are NOW stored in local elevators which
have a capacity of fbetween Is and 20
million bushels. A year ago the supply
was nearly 100000 The amount in
storage here has increased only few
thousand bushels since the harvest.
The shortage of cars for grain shipment
in the Southwest has never been moro
acute, according to grain company officials
here.
A critical situation in business and
financial circles was predicted by local
grainmen unless the car situation is inn
proved 1t will take % months, at the
present rate, for the railroads to move
wheat now In Kansas, according to Judge
Clyde NJ Reed, of the Kansas court of
industrial relations, who is investigat-
ing the car shortage.

GOOD OYSTER SEASON.
Reports From the Eastern Shore Are De.
cidedly ENCOURAGING.

Easton, Md, Aug. 3I.-Tomorrow, The
flrst OF September, marks the advent oi
the 1020-21 oyster season. Great activity
Is being shown in the Chesapeake Bay
oyster regions in anticipation Of what
promises to be very prosperous season.
Reports from the Eastern Shore
coming from St. Michaels, in the Miles
River region; Oxford, in the Choptank
region, and 1ilghman, in the Polar Island
region--state that oysters are more
abundant and apparently Of better
quality than for many seasons past.
Equally encouraging reports are arriving
from the Western Shore. Captain +. N.
Dixon, commander of the State Conserva-
tion Commission boat Mt Galloway, re-
ports that the oyster bars in the West
River--one Of the best longing regions in
the bay-are in excellent condition.
The heavy freeze of last winter was =
serious handicap to the oyster industry
and because of it there was, at the time.
considerable agitation for an extension of
the season yet, in spite of this setback,
the total catch proved to be one of the
largest on record. Last season nearly
5000, 900 bushels Of oysters were taken
from Chesapeake waters-nearly million
more than during the previous season.
II is predicted that the catch of the coming
season will bit the six-million mark.

CITY OF DEATH
IS TRANSFORMED
AMERICAN PHILANTHROPY &C
COMPOSITES WONDERS IN
SHORT TIME, NURSE

American charity is Transforming
Armenia from land of destitute, alb
normal people, dying by the hundreds
from starvation, into a nation OF
sturdy, normal, well fed citizens"
Miss Blanche L. Knox, a Philadelphia
nurse, told officials Of Near East Re-
lief on her return recently from
year and a half of service in Trans
caucasia.
"The transformation of Armenia Is
best illustrated by that of Alexandra
pol, it's largest city," she said. when
we arrived there early In 1919 condi-
tons were horrible. More awful than
the city itself were its inhabitants.
Their grain-sack clothing was mud
dyed. Along the streets halfmad
creatures were digging in the mud for
something they could eat, or else laid
down in the mud to die. Before we ar
rived there seemed to have been little
or no attempt to bury the bodies of
the dead.
"Alexandropol was a far different
city when | again passed through 1t on
the way home. The streets were
cleaned and the people were well
clothed in old American garments or
in suits made at the Near East Relief
industrial shops, The ragged, abnor-
NAL orphans had been gathered in
Near East Relief asylums. The mud
colored town that had seemed death
itself few months before was hardly
recognizable.
"To make this improvement per-
manent relief activities must be con-
tinued until the political situation
clarifies"
Miss Knox's work overseas was not
without its thrills. Once she was
aroused at midnight by Kurd machine
gunners firing on the city of Igdir.
and was compelled to fee with the
orphans under her care in that city.
Last May, in the Caucasus, her train
was held UP for six hours by Bolshe-
visits.
Miss Knox served during the war
with the Red Cross.

ARMENIAN REPUBLIC NOT
TAINTED WITH BOLSHEv ISM

Reports that bolshevists are pen
etrating Armenia, based on the re-
cent establishment: of soviet gov
eminent in the provinces Of Kara
bakh and Zangezoor, are mislead-
ing, according to statement is
sued by Near East Relief. The two
provinces in question are inhabited
largely by Armenians, but are not
part of the Republic of Armenia.
They consist of a mountainous re-
gion, the richest mineral district OF
the Near East, known to possess
gold, copper, sulphur, iron and zinc
mines, but which is cut off from
the Armenian Republic by lack of
roads.
The Armenians, the statement
goes on to say, have been opposed
bitterly to bolshevism from the
start and are, now calling all men
from Is to As TO arms to fight the
advance of soviet troops, should
any campaign against Armenia NC
attempted. A brief bolshevist rev.
olution in Alexandropol, Armenia,
on May l was put down by the
government within few days. The
menia lies in the possibility of a
only danger of bolshevism is Ar
cessation of the relief work now
being conducted by the Near East
Relief in Transcaucasia, with its
resulting starvation of the inhabi-
tants of that country, which might
conceivably force them into the
arms of Soviet Russia.
AS there is no intention on the
part of the Near East Relief to
cease its activities, this prospect is
considered very remote.
