WAS FRANTIC
WITH PAIN
Simple home treatment
gave quick, positive relief

How a lonely woman, snowbound on
a remote farm, miles from a doctor,
got quick and complete relief from
the raging pain Of neuralgia is told in
this letter from Ontario, Canada.
"The pain in my head was driving
me Wild" she writes, when | hap
pened to see a bottle of Sloan's Lini-
ment on the dresser where my hus-
band had left it. | gave it a trial
and in no time the pain was gone. /
slept peacefully the rest Of tie i. -.,5st."
And it is amazing-the quick, gen
uine comfort that Sloan's gives to
every kind of muscular pain.
No need to rub. A little Sc rs
patted lightly on-and healing tide
Of fresh, germ-destroying blood begins
tingling through the aching place. Be-
fore you can believe it, the pain, swell
ing, stiffness are relieved and you feel
yourself again. So clean and easy to
use, too. All druggists-35 cents.

Calomelr to break the most stub
born cold. Before breakfast time it
vanishes and leaves you feeling

GET AT THE CAUSE!
Many POeahOntas Folks Are Showing
How to Avoid Needless Suffering.

There's nothing more annoying than
kidney weakness or inability to prop
erly control the kidney secretiOns.
Night and day alike, the sufferer is
tormented and what with the burning
and scalding, the attendant backache,
headache and dizziness, life is indeed
IA burden. Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys-have brought
peace and comfort to many Pocahon-
tas people. Profit by this Pocahontas
residents experience:
A. Krebs, says: 81 think colds set
tling on my kidneys weakened them
and dull, steady pain across my kid
neys took all my strength and didn't
feel like doing much. My back ached
all the time and hindered me with my
work. My kidneys were weak and
rather active. DOan's Pills relieved
my lame back and / felt much better"

u. S. FOREST RESERVE
MAY BE LOCATED IN
UPPER PART OF STATE

RHINELANDER = Conservationists
here have expectations that the ma
tional forest proposed for Wisconsin
will be established in this part of the
state. Investigation of various tracts
in Wisconsin has been made for sew
eral months past by members of the
United States forestry department. At
the recent session of the state legisla-
ture bill was passed granting hte
government permission to acquire
100000 acres in the state for forestry
purposes. f. committee from congress
was named to decide on the selection
of the most logical area.
1t is said that the Investigators are
favorably impressed with that terri
tory east of Eagle river and north of
Crandon, in Oneida, Villas, and Forest
counties. While this area is almost
worthless land, it is nearly surround
ed by hundreds of lakes and streams
on which many summer homes and re-
sorts are located.

Change Conductors on
MadisOn-Lancaster Run

Fred Lester, old-time conductor on
freight run out of Lancaster. has
been assigned to the passenger run
from Madison and return, reaching
here at 1850 a. M, and returning at
los. according to the new schedule
in effect Monday
Mr.. Lester replaces w. F. Frenz,
who has been on the run since last
summer Mr.. Frenz takes the place
of Cond Brevet Waite VINO had the
noon run into here for years. Mr..
Waite now retires from the Madison
Milwaukee local run and goes on the
pension list.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Waite replaced Geo. Coons, now re-
tired, who had the Madison-Lancaster
run for twenty years or more. George
was noted for two things-his genial
manner and his intense interest in
state politics. He was "die-hard'
Stalwart and was always ready to
commune with comrade or exchange
an argument with an opponent.
So gradually passes the old order of
steam train conductors. On the local
runs they will soon be replaced by
neat, business-like young men who
will operate and conduct gasoline
cars.

FUR BARONS
BAR HUNTERS
FROM REFUGE
Close $4,000 Acres in the
Winneshiek Area to
SpOrtsmen.

PRA. DU CHIEN-As a result of
widespread attention directed to the
Winneshiek bottom lands in Craw-
ford county during the campaign to
preserve this area for fish and game
refuge, practically al lof this 1880
acre tract has been closed to hunt
ers and traDpers by the land owners,
many of whom have entered the fur
raising business on a large scale.
In addition to the Winneshiek tract,
$500 acres more have been closed to
hunters in the last few days. Custo-
dams have been placed in charge OF
these $4,000 acres and have patrolled
them since the hunting season OPP
ened.
Six muskrat farms already have
been established in the Winneshiek
tract and the combined farms are ex-
pected to produce 5000 furs during
the winter. 1t is also expected that
the number of breeding muskrat they
started with last spring will be more
than doubled.
Despite the fact that this area, per-
haps the best hunting grounds in the
northwest, has been closed to sports.

Iowa Weather Shark
Makes DOur Forecast

G.. D. Reed, head of the Des Moines
weather bureau, opines that the mid
west will have no Indian summer on
account of the cold weather prevail
ing during the past month, reports
based on fifty years of weather bureau
observations in the weather bureau
of the state of Iowa.
Mr.. Reed states that the odds this
year have been greatly against the
beautiful summer season that usually
follows the first cold weather of the
fall
Basing his guess on the average
since the weather bureau was started,
Mr.. Reed is prone to believe that the
month of November will be cold and
dry. The records, he says, indicate
that prolonged cold spell such as
the midwest has experienced during
the month just past is seldom over
for period of sixty days if it lasts
thirty days.
The premature cold weather which
has sent the mercury II degrees be-
low freezing, ought to bring continued
codl throughout November.
"By that time" says Mr. Reed, "the
winter will be upon us with all its
fury"

Items of General Interest From the
Booming Lead Mine Area.

A rich strike of lead ore has been
made on the Henry Sullivan farm in
North New Diggings. The farm is To-
Gated in a rich mining district
The Mineral Point Zinc Co. brought
30 Mexicans into New Diggings last
week to work in the Champion and
other mines under its control. Years
ago as soon as harvest was completed
the farmers flocked to the mines for
work in the winter. This year there
has been feeble response to the call
for help and the miners are short 500
men in the Wisconsin field Prior to
the World war jack rarely hit over
the $50 mark. Now it is right around
500 and from appearances will stay
there for while. Hence the demand
for men to work the mines.
What promises to be one of the big
gest and richest mines in the district
is now being exploited by the Vinegar
Hill Co. on the Robt. Mullen land two
miles west of Shullsburg on the Ben
ton road. The lease was thoroughly
proven by drilling, and the cuttings,
both lead and zinc, are reported to be
the richest ever found in the vicinity.
The company has built a road on the
lease, laid out foundations, etc., for a
sinking plant and other necessary
structures, and will put down a shaft
as soon as possible in order to prove
the property. There is no doubt but
what the ore is there, and in addition
to zinc the cuttings show big lead de-
posits. We expect to see a mill put
into operation on this lease as soon
as it can be erected, as the present
high prices of lead and zinc are an
incentive for the company to lose no
time in the development of this rich
property.-Pick & Cad.

COUNTY ROAD NOTES
To Install New System Of Aid ON the

purposes of $500 a mile. Secondary
federal highways will receive $500 aid
a mile. All other state trunk lines
will receive $500 mile as in the
past.
Roads in Grant county affected nv
the new method are as follows:
NO. ~, entering the county at Mont
tort and crossing to the west will be
changed to No. IL and made primary
