TWO \
BLUNDERS
Because Leaks viile made a most
serious mistake in influencing the
highway commission to locate the
State bridge too far up the river, and
thereby threw the bars down for a
bridge lower down the river, there is
no use or reason to complain of
invent mu iu locating a county bridge
at Fishing Creek calculated to serve
another seeton of the township, when
favoritism was played to a fare-you
well in the first instance. It is a case
of the kettle calling the pot black.
Leaksville lost her case when the
highway was removed from Bridge
Street where it had been nigh 100
years. Having thus lost, it would be
more becoming to her citizenship to
become reconciled to the inevitable
result of her own grave blunder.
’ Another mistake was made last
summer when a mass meeting was
being held upstairs in the court
house, the county commissioners ii.
session down stairs were served with
a restraining order tieing the hand.
of the commissioners before the mas
/meeting had pid its (frptest before
the board, so that they were com
polled to make but one answer: "Wi
will abide the result of the courts
our hands are tied.”

CLAIMS ORIGINATION OP
IMPROVED TYPE OP FILM
(By Associated Press.)
London, Jan. 30.—Hundreds of
thousands of feet of cinema films and
countless phonograph records, are
being carefully preserved by museum
authorities in London so that future
generations may see how things were
done in this age, and hear what primi
nent British statesmen had to say of
present day problems.
On difficulty in the way of this un
dertaking of interpreting today to to
morrow has been found in the fact
that cinema films contract and de
teriorate with age, but a British firm
claims to have invented a film that
will not shrink and that is not in
flammable.

Blanton's Great Indian
Herb Tonic
“I was down with my kidneys
and lumbage unable to wnlk. Had
decided to give up my work, was
despondent, could hardlv walk
from one room to the other. The
doctors said I had an over ac
cumulation of uric acid. Tried
everything, yet seemed to get
weaker, no energy. My frienth
advised me to try Blanton’s Great
Indian Herb Tonic. Finally} de
cided I would try one bottle. The
results were marvelous. After
finishing my fourth bottle I was a
well man, gained 17 pounds, feel
fine, sleep well and my blood pres
sure is normal. I cheerfully rec
ommend it to all suffering with
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble."
