y Danger in a Cold . Because you have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from them without troatment of any kind, do not for & moment imagina that colds are not dangerous. Not only pneu- monia, but also the infectlous dlsenses such as diphtheria and scarlet fever start with a cold. The cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs ot these diseases. Take our advico—cure your cold while you can.

The St. Paul Commercial Bulle- tin says of one act of the recent commercial club meeting which was held in St. Paul: “One of the good things planned by the Minnesota Federation of Commercial Clubs recently formed in St. Paul is increased co-opera- tion between the business men of the smaller towns and the news- papers in those towns. “In all work for the betterment of conditions in the town and the upbuiiding of its business enter- prises the local newspapar must of necessity be an important factor. Many merchants and business men fail to realize to the full the bene- fits to be derived from hearty co- operation with the local paper. Commercial clubs in the larger cities, where they have been pro- ductive of such excellent results, have found the newspapers their most valuable allies in advertis- ing the city and keeping alive public interest in the various enterprises undertakem; there is no reason why the newspapers in the smaller towns should not be equally as helpful. “In every instance the local news- paper will be found ready and willing to do its utmost in develop- ing the town, its business enterprises and the surrounding country, but if such service is expected it is only fair that the merchants and busi- ness men of the town should give the newspaper their hearty support. There must be true co-operation or the results cannot be expected to be satisfactory.” —_— OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc"] Ancient history is merely a collec- tion of epitaphs. The more a2 man knows the less he's inclined to boast. ' e People who cast reflections usually stand in their own light. Instead of using profane language, a woman gives the cursBry glance. Unless a man makes a2 woman jealous,he will never know how mean she can be. Profane language has no charms for a man who won’t even swear at an alarm clock. Between a full moon and a full man there is a difference of several thousand miles. When some women cast their bread upon the water it comes back in the guise of bread pudding. Once in a great while a man is| fortunate enough to be broke when a friend drops in to sell him a gold brick. A Kansas man who boasted that he hadn’t taken a vacation in forty years took a day off last week to attend his own funeral. College Chums. A rich and well known citizen of an eastern city boasts of an extraordinary collection of books whereln the au- thors have inscribed their autographs. It 18 rumored that the envy and fre- quently the skepticism of his friends ‘have been aroused by the flattering in- scriptions in question, and some cynics have even gone so far as to hint of a similarity in handwriting throughout the collection. The citizen recently purchased a rare edition of Montalgne's essays. One evening at dinner the costly volume was passed from hand to hand, and for a time the owner lost sight of it.; ‘When, however, it did finally come back to him he was astonished to find on the fly leaf this inscription: “To John Blank, From His 0ld Friend and Classmate, Mike Mon- taigne.”—Harper's Weekly. R s o LR STILLINGSSUSPEADED Pablic Printer Loses His Place, Temporarily at Least. OFFICE IS BEING PROBED Suspension by the President, as Offi- cially Explained, Is to Facilitate the Congressional Investigation Now Un- der Way. Washington, Feb. 6. — President Roosevelt has temporarily suspended as public printer Charles A. Stillings and appointed Willlam §S. Rossiter temporarily to fill the duties of that office. The action, as explained offi- clally, Is to facilitate the investigation now being made of the government printing office by congress. Mr. Rossiter now is chief clerk of the census office. Before taking this action President Roosevelt discussed at length with Representative Landis of Indiana, chairman of the house committee on printing, the investigation into the af- fairs of the government printing office. The report made by Dr. G. C. Haven- ner, at the suggestion of the president, which says that the price of govern- ment printing has greatly increased under Public Printer Stillings’ admin- istration, will be sent to congress for the use of Mr. Landis’ committee in pursuing the investigation which it is now making. The formal reply of Mr. Stillings to this report is understood to be in course of preparation. When it i completed it will doubtless follow the Havenner report to congress. Chairman Landis of the sub-commit- tee investigating the printing office stated that Mr. Stillings’ suspension had been ordered upon the recommen- dation of the committee, but added that it was only temporary and a statement issued by the congressional printing investigation committee asks that the public withhold judgment un- til the inquiry is completed. PAYNE HAS THE FLOOR. Political Debate Continues House. Washington, Feb. 6.—The political debate which has been on in the house under the order of general debate on the Indian appropriation bill for sev- oral days was resumed. The first speaker was Sereno Payne of New York, the majority leader, who received a round of Republican ap- plause when he took the floor. He directed his remarks to the Dem- ocrats and remarked that their polit- ical speechies were but in pursuance of their course each winter and spring preceding elections. “With renewed exuberance of spirit,” he said, “with prophetic sight during this season of the year they carry the next election, Inaugurate their candidate and divide up the offices.” Referring to Mr. Bryan Mr. Payne said he sometimes hits upon a good thing and puts it in his platform; but, he sald, when anyhody else with the same means of information and knowl- edge takes the idea and vivifies it into law and puts it on the statute books Mr. Bryan places himself among that grand army of men who are going about the country as saying “I told you so.” Mr. Bryan, he said, goes around the country endorsing Roosevelt “so far as he goes” and then adds, in order to dilute the endorsement, “He is doing just what I would have done,” and “our friends, the Democrats, get ex- cited about it,” in the FREE SILVER NOT AN ISSUE Mr. Bryan Explains Remarks in Re- cent Speech. New York, Feb. 6.—William J. Bry- an was asked whether his Carnegie hall speech of Tuesday night had been intended to include an intimation that free coinage of silver was still a pub- lic issue. Mr. Bryan replied: “No, free silver is not an issue. ‘What I said had no connection with the silver question. I simply referred to it to show the change that had taken place in the arguments that are being made at the present time. “The silver questlon was an issue in 1896 because prices were falling and there was no other relief in sight. Since gold production has materially increased prices are rising—or were until the recent panic—and will again as soon as normal conditions are re- stored. The silver question, there- fore, will not be an issue.” Foraker Club Endorses Taft. Cleveland, Feb. 6.—The Third Ward Foraker club of this city has endorsed Secretary Taft for president atter sup- porting Ohio’s senior senator for twen- ty years. The endorsement prevailed in the face of stubborn opposition. The club was organized twenty years ago to further Foraker’s cause. It has been looked on as one of the sen- ator’s strongholds in - Cleveland throughout its existence. Taft Accompanies Filipinos. Washington, Feb. 6.—Representa- tlon in the house of representatives was increased by two when Benito Legarda and Pablo Ocampo, resident Philippine commissioners, took their Beats. They were conducted to the capitol by Secretary Taft. Their entry into the chamber was signalized by applause. Creative. A certain man coming from abroad was taken up by the smart set. “We'll make a lion of him,” quoth they, “for the distinction he will there- upon reflect upon us.” But the man was too little. * It takes much material to make a lion. “Then we'll make a monkey of him;” sald the smart set, determined:to have some exXercise for their creative genius. Nor was the world the worse off. For, after all, it Is the contribution to the gayety of natlons that s especially needed.—Puck. ENTIRE FAMILY DEAD. Triple Tragedy Followed Failure of Husband to Obtain Work, New York, Feb. 6.—For three months Max . Sackman, twenty-six years old and by trade a paperhanger, had tramped the streets in a futile ef- fort to .ind work. His daily goings and comings were noted by the neigh- bors, who, when the man failed to ap- pear as usual, forced an entrance to his home and found the family of three dead. The bodies of Sackman and his wife, Goetling, were stratched upon their bed and in the arms of the father was nestling the lifeless form of their fourteen-months™old baby, Rose. A gas tube extending from a chandelier to the bed told the marner of death, and ar. empty cupboard explained the motive. POLICEMAN ATTACKED KING Believed Spanish Monarch Was a Sus- picious Looking Person. Seville, Feb. 6.—A dramatic incident marked the saunter of King Alfonso through the streets of Seville the day before the tragedy at Lisbon, Alfonso being attacked by a policeman, whose object was to keep back the crowd from the king, but who unfortunately mistook the king himself for a sus- picious looking person. The governor of Seville, who was following just behind, seized the po- liceman, and a score of spectators, be- lieving that an attempt was being made to assassinate the king, knocked the policeman down. ~Alfonso, how- ever, ordered his liberation and was amused at the whole affair. Captain Committed Suicide. Mobile, Ala., Feb. 6.—Captain Smith, master of the British steamer Ash- field, clearing this port Dec. 19, last, for Nipa, Cuba, committed suicide by drinking poison in his stateroom fol- lowing a mutiny of the crew while on the high seas. The first mate took command of the vessel and landed her at Manila on Jan. 2, at which point the second mate' was called to the command by the mutinous crew, land- ing his vessel at Cienfuegos on Jan. 15. Salaries Are Given a Slash. Louisville, Feb. 6.—The Loulsville and Nashville railroad, on account of decreased earnings, reduced the sal- arles of all employes making more than $250 a month. Those receiving 3400 and over are cut 10 per cent, while those recelving more than $250 and less. than $400 suffer a reduction of 8 per cent. Seven Firemen Injured. New York, Feb. 6.—Seven firemen were caught between collapsing floors and seriously injured while fighting a fire which destroyed a five-story struc- ture occupied by dry goods firms at 43 Worth sireet, in the heart of the Wwholesale dry goods district. The monetary, loss is estimated at $200,000. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. According to an average established by investigation typhoid fever cost Greater Pittsburg the sum of $721,436 for the year ending June, 1907. Ten thousand men have been laid Oft since December by the Baldwin locomotive works at Philadelphia be- cause of a lack of orders for engines. One thousand men formerly em- ployed by the Pennsylvania Steel com- pany at Steelton, Pa., have been called back to work after an enferced idle- ness of more than a month. The appraised value of precious stones and pearls imported at New York during the month of January, 1908, is more than $3,000,000 less than for the correspording month of 1907. MARKET QUOTATIONS.

A ‘Toronto man who visited England last summer appears to think that country the champion tip taker. He says: “Well, I had tipped every man from the swell gent who seemed to own the house of commons down to the hireling who gummed the wrong labels on my luggage, and I went into the waiting room on the landing stage at Liverpool to wash my hands of ev- erything English, and what do you'think stared me in the face when I had fin- ished? A placard saying, ‘Please tip the basin.' D’ll be hanged if I dld!” . e Tao Much Collection, A Scottish gentleman paying a visit to London was taken by his nephew to a service in St. Paul's cathedral. He had no acquaintance whatever with the liturgy of the Church of England, He picked up a prayer book and be- came very much interested, but as he turned over the leaves his face be- came clouded with a look of intense anxiety. He placed the prayer book carefully down, looked cautiously around, picked up his hat and crept stealthily to the door. His nephew followed him and said: “Are you ill, uncle? What is the matter?” The uncle replied: “No. But it I3 enough to make any man ill to see the number of collections made in this kirk!” “Collections!” said the nephew, In surprise. “If there is any at all, there certainly won’t be more than one.” “Well,” said the uncie, “they should no’ mark 50 many in the book. There’s naething but ‘collect! and bits of prayer, then ‘collect’ and more prayers, and ‘collect’ again. And says I to my- sel’, ‘If I bide here until all these col- lections are ta’en, I'll no’ have a baw- bee in ma pocket! ”—London Tit-Bits. How Indians Tan Deerskin. The skin dressing of the Indians, both buffalo and deer skins, Is general- ly very beautiful and soft. They stretch the skin either on a frame or on the ground, and after it has remain- ed there for three or four days, with the brains spread over the fleshy side, they grain it with a sort of adz or chisel. After the process of graining, though the skin is apparently beauti- fully finished, it passes through an- other process—that of smoking. For this they hang the skin on a frame In a smoke proof house or tent. The fire is made at the bottom out of rot- ten wood, which produces a strong and peculiar smell. The fire must be smoth- ered to make the smoke. The grained skins must be kept in the smoke for three or four days, and after this the skins will always remain the same, even after being wet, which does not belong-to the dressed skins in civilized countries.—“Life Among the Indians.” The Partitions of Poland. There have been three partitions of Poland. The first was in 1772, when Prussia took the palatinates of Mal- berg, Pomeria and Warmia, a part of Culm and a part of Great Poland. Aus- tria took Red Russia, or Galicla; a part of Podolia, Sandomir and Cracow, and Russia took White Russia, with all the part beyond the Dnieper. The sec- ond partition was in 1793, by which Prussia acquired the remainder of Great and a portion of Little Poland, and the Russian boundary was ad- vanced to the center of Lithuania and Volhynia. In the third and final par- tition, in 1795, Austria had Cracow; with the country between the Pilica and the Vistula. Prussia had the cap- ital, with the territory as far as the Niemen, while the rest went to Russla. —New York American. A Dramatic Author. Like most actor managers, Macready ‘was pestered by would be dramatic au- thors. An ambitlous young fellow brought him a five act tragedy one morning to Drury Lane. “My piece,” modestly explained the author, “is a chef d’oeuvre. I will an- swer for its success, for I have con- sulted the sanguinary taste of the pub- lie. My tragedy Is so tragic that all the characters are killed off at the end of the third act.” “With whom, then,” asked the man- ager, “do you carry on the action of the last two acts?” “With the ghosts of those who died in the third!’—Cornhill Magazine. Gray Versus Brown Camels. The length of a stage varies through- out Persia, depending on the character of the country, and is reckoned in far- saks, the old Greek parasang. The far- sak 1s a most elastic and uncertaln measure, and as animals are paid for per farsak as many as the credulity of the traveler will allow are crowded Into each stage. “How far,” I once asked an old Kurdish muleteer, “is a farsak?” “As far as one can distin- guish a gray from a brown camel,” was the discreet answer. They aver- age about four miles and the stage about six farsaks, or twenty-five miles. —Atlantic. Thought He Could Buy Them Cheap.

Eats 'Em Alive. “Does this dog like strangers?” “Loves ’em, ma’am.” “Well, T must have a dog that does | not like strangers.” “As I .was about to say, ma’am, when you interrupted me, this dog loves strangers an’ has eaten several of 'em, ma'am. Yes, ma’am, thank you!”—Houston Post.” Lingering Animosity. “Those two families in the adjoining flats who used to be at daggers drawn have been Teconciled, haven’t they?” “I don’t know.

Life is but a fleeting show, but it 18 nevertheless the greatest show on earth.—Atchison Globe. T 7 The Wife of the Cat. Nasr-ed-din, the Persian shah, was an Intensely superstitious man and be Heved that his luck lay in his beauti ful black Persian cat, which was a re- markably handsome cat in a land ‘where cats are nearly all handsome. The shah never allowed the black cat to be away from him, and it was given in charge of one of his wives, Amin Agdas, who was styled ‘“the wife of the cat.” P . Lo When the shah went on his long shooting expeditions; the Persian cat was_put into a_decorated basket and —— e e e S~ carried by a special attendant directly | behind his master. Unlucklly one day an “accident occurred, and the black cat came to an untimely end. The shah was In despair at the loss of his luck bringer, but the clever “wife of the cat” exerted her influence and brought her nephew under the shah’s notice. The lad was sharp enough to make the most of an accident (planned by his aunt) and save the shalh’s life, and the monarch was so pleased that he gave the boy the name of “the cherished of the soverelgn” and in- stalled the new luck bringer. Perilous Boating. On the west coast of Ireland, mear the mouth of the river Shannonm, are several large sea caves which open into each other. The visitor seems to be floating through a submarine palace of many halls whose roofs are either as green &s grass in the sun or blood red. But the . visitor needs a good guide and a good boatman, for the sea Is Insldious and the labyrinth of caves intricate. On one occasion, writes Au- brey de Vere in his “Recollections,” soon after a party had entered the boatman suddenly shouted, “Bend down your heads for your lives!” No one saw any danger, but the boatman felt the placid water insensi- bly rising and knew that the tide had turned. At last the visitors knew this, too, for it was not until the boat had ascended within a few inches of the roof that it began to descend. “Pull your best!” exclaimed the man at the helm. “If the second wave reaches us, we are lost!” But before the second wave reached the cave the boat had issued from its mouth.

Prepared by BERG MEDIOINE 00., Des Molaes, Tows OWL DRUG STORE An interegting interview was re- cently obtaf; with L. T. Cooper, the young man whose theory and medi- cines have created such a sensation during the past year. Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re- markable success of his medicine, had this to say on the subject: “My medi- cine regulates the stomach. That is why it is successful. The human stom- ach today has become degenerate, and is the cause for most ill health. In the horse, the dog, and the wild ani- mals generally, you see no nerve ex- haustion, no chronic debility. They are not shut up-day after day with practically no exercise, and they are not able to stuff themselves with food ‘when their bodies have not had enough work to justify it. The human race bas been doing this for years, and look at the result—half the people are complaining of poor health, not real illness—just a halfsick, tired, droopy | feeling. They don’t really know what is the matter with them, “I know that all the trouble is caused by weak, overworked stom- achs. I have proved this with my medicine to many thousands of peo- Dle in most of the leading cities of| this country. I expect to do the same thing in Europe next year. This is the real reason for the demand for my preparation,” 4 % Among those who have recently been converted to Cooper’s theory is Mr. Monroe Brown of $ Hancock this to say of his experience with i::et, Winchester, Mass. Mr. Brownl BECOME DEGENERATE Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong Digestive Apparatus. the new “medicine: “For over seven years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, and for the past year I was lame with rheumatism. I attributed this to my stomach trouble, as my cir- culation was very poor. What food I ate would turn to gas almost at once. I would have a sensation of bloating, and would have to_ belch frequently to relieve this. My heart also became affected, and I would suddenly become dizzy and have palpitations. I was tired and dull and despondent at all times. I lost a great deal of flesh, and ‘Was nervous and depressed. This went on for over seven years, although I spent hundreds of dollars trying to get relief, 5 “When Cooper was in' Boston I heard a good deal about his ideas on stomach trouble. Next, one or two friends told'me that his medicines had greatly helped them. I purchased some of the New Discovery medicine. Today I am perfectly well; I sleep like a boy, can eat anything and have no rheumatism or heart trouble. I no longer have any gas on my stomach, and feel as I did years ago. No one could be more astonished by these facts than myself. They are remark- able, but true. This is indeed a won- derful medicine.” The Cooper preparations have been more widely sold and discussed since being introduced than anything of the kind ever before sold by druggists.
