Professor A. M. Dunton, principal of the high school at McIntosh, has worked up a system of co-operation between the farmers of the townships modeled on the Wisconsin idea, which seems to contain the germ of a plan Wwhich may be workad out all over the state.

The telegram fol- lows: “I sincerely hope that congress will pass a bill to remove any doubt of Knox’s eligibility.” I have no doubt that a bill to repeal the bill increas- ing the salary of the secretary of state will effect this' purpose and I sincerely hope that it will pass. - I should regard the loss of Senator Knox from the first place in my cab: inet as a public misfortune.” House leaders favorable to‘the adop- tlon of the senate bill, reducing the salary of the secretary of state to $8,- 000 a year, in order to' make Senator Knox eligible for the position, have evolved a scheme to avoid sending the bill to the house committee on judic- lary, which is said to be opposed to the measure.

New Orleans, Feb. 1).—President- Elect Taft's second day as a guest of this city ended with an elaborate banquet at which many famous Creole dishés were served. Earlier in the day he was tendered a reception by the negroes of the city and the event was marked by enthusiastic cordiality. Thousands of the members of that race assembled in the local baseball park, filling the grandstand, bleachers and a large portion of the grounds. Hundreds of. negro school children ‘were banked on the benches, each bearing an American flag. .Songs were given and speeches made by Thomas Jones, president of the negro Y. M. C. A, under whose auspices the celebration was held, and Alfred Law- less, a negro preacmer, also by Chair- man Philip Weirlein of the Progres- sive union. In reply Mr. Taft declared he would “be the president of all the people” and, adding that he wanted to make a plain, common sense, non- political talk, told his hearers that their . past history had been remark- able in showing their capacity to de- velop; that their future depended not on emotionalism, but on individual character building, which meant hard work and thrift. ' To make themselves indispensible to the people of the community in which they lived was, he declared with emphasis, the only final solution of the problem . which they faced.

The day being Friday fish-was a fea- ture of the feast. Here New Orleans Is at its best, for with the great fish and oyster producing waters of Lakes Pontchartrain . and Borgne, many bayous and the bays and inlets and banks of the Mexican gulf to draw from there is a marvelous variety of the finest fish in the world available. The recipe for “buillabaise,” one of the principal dishes, included six slices of red snapper, six slices of red fish, half bottle white wine, half lemon, six large fresh tomatoes, three onjons, three cloves of garlic and three bay leaves. This is the dish that drew from Thackeray the remark “that in New Orleans you can get a buillabalse the like of which was never eaten in Marseilles or Paris.” Other famous Creole dishes were in- cluded in the bill of fare.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LoST The Awlul Toll Collected by Consump- tion. If people could only understand that Catarrh is an internal scrofula— that noting applied externally does much good—they would not need to be warned so often about this fatal disease, which, when neglected, in- variably ends up in Consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured if the right treatment is employed. Catarrh is caused by germs in the blood ‘which circulate through- out the entire system. External remedies give but temporary ease. Although the effects are often seen in the form of pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly skin, the ‘trouble is internal, and can never be cured by external remedies. y The only way to cure Catarrh is by employing.a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is thoroughly medicated, soothed, disinfected of germ matter, and the soreness healed, We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made Catarrh a specialty and whose record of success was a cure in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall | Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will cure Catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails. to cure or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes. The prices are 50c and $1. Very often the 50c size effectsa cure. . Of course, in chronic cases a longer treatment is necessary. The average in such instances is three $1.00 bottles. Barker’s Drug Store.

The cornerstone was laid by Presi- dent Roosevelt, who also delivered an address, and there were also addresses by Governor Willson of Kentucky, ex- Governor Joseph W.

[From the Des Moines Register and Leader.] “Wlhiy has this season of the year become known a8 the pneumoriia season? Why dur- ing the closing week of the old year were there more deaths in Chicago and New York from pneumonia than tuberculosis? Why ire pneumonia and related bronchial trou- bles. Lgummg to take the place of tubercu- losis as the drend scourge of city life? Bimpli and solely because we are devoting too muc] Ingenuity and energy to dodging the fresh and invigorating winter air that every twelve months refrigerates our latitude. It is believed now that pneumonia is an Infectious disease, and that in the cities where the death rate is growing 80 rapidly it iscommunicated in the heated and crowded tars.

We are getting afraid of the climate, and as ‘a result, the climate-is taking its revenge. The mere habit of turning up coat collars- has killed thousands of people, and the fux boa has a long list to its account, for no part of the human body becomes delicate more fuickly because of superfluous covering than the throat.- And yet we are multiplyin; devices for turning up more coat collars. lgi is not too early to recognize that this is all wrong, that our climate is here to stay, and that if we are going to live in it with com- fort we must accommodate ourselves to it. It will pay to keep on good terms with the climate.’ A great many have learned that pneumo- ‘nia may be avoided by taking Chamber. lain’s Cough Remedy whenever they have s cold. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for colds and grip during the epidemics.of the past few years, we have yet to learn of a single one having had pneumonis, which should certainly cons vince the most skeptical of the value of that K;epantim Its remarkable cures of colds ave made it a staple article of trade and commerce throughout the United and in maoy. countries.
