the point where Washington reviewed
bis army as he marched west to quell
the Whisky Insurrection was cut down
and uii old stone building noted as a
i-oad house in the last century changed
hands and will become a laundry.
Around the old tree cluster many In

tree measured three feat in diameter
and was about a century and a half

Another Interesting feature in con

ild iron pipe. The relic was unearthed
at the Lamberton high school, where j
tome grading work is being done. It
ta the opinion of local historians that
the pipe belonged to one of Washing

THEY REFUSE TO EAT
At periods in most childrens' lives
they fail to relish their meals and refuse
to eat even the delicacies prepared to
tempt their appetites. They lack am
bition, and growth seems impeded,
which causes anxiety and worry.
To compel them to eat is a grave
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.
Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun
shine is important, but equally import
ant is a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion
three times a day to feed the tissues
and furnish food-energy to improve
their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen
their appetites.
The highly concentrated medicinal
food iu Scott's Emulsion supplies the
very elements children need to build up
their strength. They relish Scott's —iti9

CAUSED BY THIN BLOOD
Many people think they have kidney
trouble l>ecause they have backache but
more backache is caused by overstrained
mid undernourished muscles than by
anything elee. In such caees the blood
needs building up.
Many rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building up the
blood. When rheumatism is associated
with thin blood the rheumatism cannot
1-e cured to stay cured until the blood ia
built up.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla build up the
blood and sufferers from backache would
do well to try thistreatment before giving
way to worry over a fancied organic dis
ease. Pest and the tonic treatment with
I)r. Williams' Pink Pills will correct most
forms of backache, even rheumatic.
For people who work too hard or dance
too much and sleep too little, betterhabits
and a course of treatment with Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills are all that is needed
to drive away the pains and aches that
are warnings of a coming breakdown.
Two books, "Building Up the Blood"
and "Nervous Disorders," will be sent
free, if you are interested, by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,

Coal Miners Will
Make 20 Demands
upon the coal mining companies.
The stake this year is for 20 per cent, increase in
wages, an eight-hour day and 18 other demands.
An eight-hour day and 20 per cent, advance in
wages will increase the cost of coal about 60c per ton.
And the 18 other demands will further add to mining
expenses.
What you should be interested in is the 20 per
cent, increase in wages and an eight-hour day.
In the event of a strike you will want a supply of
coal on hand. Don't wait until the last minute, for
just as soon as definite information is published every
one will want to buy at one time—and it will be im
possible to fill all orders.
We have two yards in this city now filled to over
flowing with the best quality coal but we don't know
how long it will last. ,
