In less than half an hour after applying it the child was quiet and asleep, and in less than two weeks was well.

Mrs. Benson is a well known resident of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic liniment and especially valuable for burns, bruises and sprains. For sale by Dr. Rader Drug Co.

Scott Tribune. -The Frisco system isnow using the "block system" of handling their trains, which practice was put into effect Nov. 1st. It requires each agent to keep an accurate record of the location of each train coming toward his station. It also prohibits two passenger trains going in the same direction from running with a station between.

It also prohibits a freight train from following a passenger between stations. A passenger can follow a freight but not a freight a passenger. The new order requires a day and night man at every station no matter how small. This requires Boicourt, Linton, Prescott and other small stations to keep a night operator. It is an extra expense to the company and more work for the agents but it is intended to prevent any collisions.
