The posse, headed by Moorehouse, Sheriff Price Anderson and Deputy Robert Nelson, are working within a half mile ol the scene or tne noiaup and believe they will soon rout the men from their hiding-place in the hills. Many abandoned mines In that vicinity afford a complete retreat. The mention of the stagedriver's nickname during the holdup and the robbers' knowledge of the shipment ol gold lends power to the theory that Baker men are the bandits sought.. H. S.

William Harder, one of the three sus ects arrested on the order of Sheriff Anderson, is in the Huntington jail loudly protesting his innocence.

Yet sciatica is nothing but neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and neuralgia is an inflamma tion caused by lack dlsnourishment. Application of dry heat as hot sand bags or flannel to the course of the inflamed nerve often quiets the pain but it does not feed the nerve. It is temporary relief, a good thing to know about, but not a remedy. What causes the nerve starvation that results in neuralgia and sciatica and how may it be corrected? The most common cause is a run down physical system and a frequent exciting cause is exposure to cold. Thin blood Is often at fault It is through the blood that the nerves get their nourishment. Mortal man knows of no . other way of getting nourish ment to a nerve. Therefore when the blood 'gets thin and fails to feed the nerves they show their resentment by becoming inflamed. Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at this stage and see bow the inflammation subsides as the en riched blood carries to the starved nerves the elements they need.

Or.. April 6. (Special.) Washing Won't Rid Head of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dan druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely.

Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of It, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv. 60 'Homes' for Drug Users Established in Principal Cities By Hon. J. E.
