EARTH'S SURFACE HAS BEEN
TILTING, SCIENTIST LEARNS
rather Odenbach DIhcovciu Part ol
tho United States Has ' Taken u
Slant In Direction of Canada.
Cleveland. The earth's surface
has been tilting since 10 a. m. Christ
mas Day.
Father Odenbach, a learned seismo
logist and astronomer, reports that
the tilting In being recorded and
measured by the delicate Instruments
in St. Ignatius' Observatory. The
tilting so far has been 1-16 of an Inch
in 1000 feet, so do not be alarmed;
the vases will not be tilted from the
mantelpiece or the pictures set awry.
The tilting Is from the United
States toward Canada, but this coun
try is not likely to slide Into the Do
minion. The tilting affects a floe, or giant
triangle, with a line from Newbury
port, Mass.. through Elmlra, N. Y.,
and Cincinnati for its base and its
apex in Canada. Cleveland stands on
this floe. It is as a giant under the
earth was pushing it In at the upper
end and another pushing It out at the
southern etl.
Such tlltlngs are usually due to
some knon cases, Father Odenbach
says, such as the piling up of an im
mense weight on the southern shores
of the Great Lakes. But he can as-
considers that recent earthquakes in
the Middle and Far West are only one
result of it.
Any sort of weather Is peculiar or
unusual to some people.
BREAKS UP A COLD
IK SEVERAL HOURS
A FEW DOSES END MOST
SEVERE GRIPPE MISERY
There is not one grain of quinine In
Pape's Cold Compound, which, when
taken ever two hours, until three
consecutive doses are taken, will
surely end the grippe and break up
the most severe cold, either in the
head, chest, back, stomach or limbs.
It promptly relieves tho most mis
erable headache, dullness, head and
nose stuffed up, feverlahness, sneez
ing, sore throat, running of the nose,
catarrhal affections, soreness, , stiff
ness and rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound Is the result
of three years' research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars,
and contains no quinine which we
have conclusively demonstrated Is not
effective In the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else In the world which will
cure your: pold or end grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance J or bad after-effects as a
25-cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can iupply.

him a real believer.
Because of Merck's eagerness to

gallows a delegation from Gainesville,

called on Governor Slaton and asked
that he be granted a thirty-day re

Congressman Bell, who was spokes

the man was truly penitent and should
be given time to get religion, so that
he might not lose his soul.
"I am Inclined to grant the respite"

THE GREATEST SUCCESSFUL
WITHOUT THE KNIFE.
See our patients testimony. Dec. 1st, 1911.
I am glad to tell the public wha the Chinese Doctor did for me. I
was nearly dead suffering from abcess in the stomach and three Am
erican doctors told me there was no hope for me except an operation
which I felt would kill me. So we called Dr. Leo Ching Wo and tried
his medicine and in two weeks I was out of danger. Took his wonderful
medicine four weeks more and am nearly well.
I can cheerfully recommend hi remedy to any one who is in need of
a doctor, for he certainly saved my life. Mrs. Ida Herring, 2 IS West
Alder St., Walla Walla, Washington.
We receive testimonials from our patients daily who have been cured.
If you want to be cured, come and see us or if unable to come, write
