K A S P A R IL L A This sterling household remedy is most successfully prescribed for a “ world of troubles.” For derangements of the d i­ gestive organs it is a natural corrective, operating directly upon the liver and ali­ mentary canal, gently but persistently stimulating a healthful activity. Its beneficial influence extends, however, to every portion o f the system, aiding in the processes of digestion and assimilation of food, promoting a wholesome, natural appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad breath, irregularities o f the bowels, con­ stipation and the long list o f troubles directly traceable to those unwholesome conditions.

Edison, the noted inventor, who is taking a vacation on the Pacific Coast, says that neither the aeroplane nor the dirigible balloon w ill successfully solve the ques­ tion of navigating the air. Asked if, in givin g up the commercial side o f his work, he would make a study o f the airship, he said: ‘ It is likely that T shall pay some attention to the navigation o f the air. 1 have done so in the past, but I had not the time to make serious effort. I am firmly convinced that the time is near at hand when it will be possible to sail through the air as easily ami as safely as we now go by land or by water. “ I have little faith in the aeroplane or I he balloon as a means of aerial navigation. The aeroplane o f the W righ t brothers depends too much on the personal equation. Place some other man in that earoplane and it would not work. It depends upon the skillful handling of the machine by the inventor. “ It is also unlikely that the efforts o f inventors who have pinned their faith to the dirigible balloon will meet with success. When you have some thing that is lighter than air it is ap parent even to the layman that it is a toy of the winds. It is wafted about like a thistledown when a strong wind is blowing. The aeroplane and the dirigible balloon will be improved, I have no doubt, but I look to see the application of a principle different from either in the successful airship.’ ’ M O R E C A R S IN S E R V IC E . D ecrease o f 30,371 in Number Idle Helps Railroads. Chicago, Sept. 14__ Another big boost toward prosperity is indicated by a weekly report o f the car efficiency com mittee o f the American Railway asso ciation, which was issued Saturday. The total of surplus cars on railroads o f the United States and Canada has been reduced to 222,632, a decrease of 30 371 since the last report. O f this decrease, 21.723 are boxcars and 7,253 coal and gondola. The decrease in boxcars is the largest since the maximum surplus of 413,605 was reached. An increasing activity in repairing ears is shown by a reduction o f 7,662 in the number of bad order cars. Small shortages are reported on a few railroads, the shortages totaling 1.418. Regarding this condition, Arthur Hale, chairman o f the committee, says: “ W henever these shortages arc of such a nature and extent as to justify action by the committee, conditions are brought to the attention of the roads reporting a surplus, and arrangements are made to transfer equipment to the roads having use for it .” Race Trouble Feared. Seneca, Kan., Sept. 14.— A clash be tween whites and blacks is feared here follow ing an attack on Samuel Murphy, a farmer, by two negroes, Jim and Allie Johnson, Friday night. The negroes as­ saulted a white boy who taunted them about a horse race they had lost, and Murphy interfered in behalf of the lad. A mob quickly pursuer and overtook the negroes, and armed with ropes were bent on a lynching, which was only avoided by the pluck o f a deputy sher­ iff, who. gun in hand, stood in the door of a vacant house and held the mob at bay. ___________________ S Q M AK ES . 7 *5 o A L A S T IN G C U R E There are certain mineral medicines which will remove the external On account o f the numerous in quiries com ing into our station, wc symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison, and shut the disease up in the system for awhile, but when the treatment is left off the disease w ill surely find it necessary to issue this press return.
