Not one that cures some particular cough, but coughs in gene It must be a cough remedy that can be relied upon for all the different coughs that are so prevalent. While the causes of coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself. Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of invalids. The powerful convulsive cough of a large man is harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy that will cure a large man'’s cough and yet not be too powerful for the baby, you have a good cough remedy. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much posed of things which cure easily and soothingly without harm- ing the most delicate tissues of the throat. It acts as easily and safely on the young as on the old, and is the ideal remedy for coughs, colds, croup, influenza, whooping cough and bronchitis.” The following are important rules for mailing Christmas parcels: Prepay postage fully on all parcels. Address parcels carefully and fully. Attach name of sender to all par- - cels. Pack and tie articles carefully. Do not seal, for then full letter rates will be charged. Mail parcels early; they may be marked: “Do not open until Christ- mas.” Insure all valuable packages. Mail your Christmas presents now. JEFFERSON HIGHWAY. Mayor Irvin of St. Paul has re- ported some interesting and signifi- cant figures to show the value of the Jefferson highway to St. Paul. By actual count, he said, thirty-eight thousand northbound motor cars passed through Rosemount last July. If they averaged four persons to the car, it is clear that automobiles took into St. Paul in that month alone more than 150,000 persons. More- over, some seven thousand of these cars hailed from Iowa, so that the traffic was far from being local. Bemidji should show its apprecia- tion for being on this great highway by seeing that the highway in this district is in the best of condition as soon as the 1917 automobile season opens. N I GAME-AND FISH. The biennial report of the Minne- sota Game and Fish Department which has just been filed with the governor as required by law, and which will soon be issued in printed form, contains much information re- lative to the wild life assets of the state and indicates active growth in that department and a live interest in the subject on the part of the peo- ple of the state. Public sentiment has been thoroughly aroused and the people are ready to support every sane and reasonable effort to con- gerve the valuable game and fish re- sources. Changed conditions are de- manding new methods of administra- tion of the department and far more attention to methods of preservation and propagation of game and fish. Increased and improved facilities for destruction have caused alarming in- roads on the birds, animals and on the fish life, which must be met by equally radical changes in methods of preservation. Reduced to statistics the annual value of wild life assets of the state after careful investigation and in- quiry are estimated as follows: Food value of game and fish, $2,- 000,000; furs, skins and pelts, $1,- 300,000; value of tourist trade, $1,- 500,000; value of commerce depend- ing upon game and fish, $3,000,000; value to agriculture of insectivorous birds, $2,500,000; total, $10,300,- 000. Every effort has been made to make this estimate conservative, and doubtless some of the items should be much larger. Commercial fishing has become an important industry in the state, em- ploying many hundreds of men and réquiring a large investment of cap- ital, The tourist trade from other states attracted to Minnesota by the de- lightful lure of summer motoring, fishing and camping, is only in its infancy and will increase with great rapidity. The 564 summer resorts of the state were crowded to capac- ity during the past season, and in- creased facilities are being provided for the coming summer. During the biennium just closed there were 1,726 prosecutions for vio- lation of the game and fish laws; 1,679 convictions and 60 acquittals; $25,620.78 was paid in fines, and 3,747 day: served in jail by convicted viclaters, N There were confiscated in connec- tion with the work of the wardens 35,080 pounds of fish; 8,387 pound's of moose meat; 6,191 pounds of veni- son; 1,091 game birds; 422 fish nets; 139 shot guns and rifles; 3,701 skins of fur bearing animals, and a large number of - traps, fishing rods and miscellaneous articles. The annual production of fur in Minnesota -approximates in value $1,310,875. There are taken an- nually about 3,000,000 muskrats, 75,000 skunk, 20,000 wolves and var- jous numbers of at least twelve other varieties of fur-bearing animals. Fur farming has been engaged in to some extent, one operator reporting sales to the amount of $12,000 worth of foxes; another $6,6356 worth of skunk. The indusiry is increasing and offers inducements. Deer are reasonably plentiful and can be maintained without closed seasons by utilizing other rational methods, such as the establishment of game refuges and, if necessary, the enactment of a buck law.. In 1915 8,000 deer were killed by licensed hunters. j Moose depend almost wholly upon the Superior refuge for their future in this state, and hunting will be largely confined to the territory ad- jacent to this refuge, which i9 large $100 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that sciemce has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur- faces of the System thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers 'of Hall's Catarrh Medicine that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to.cure.

Beaver are plentiful in some locali- ties and increasing rapidly under protection. Bear should be protected by a closed season as they are valu- able, particularly for fur. The economic value of the birds is enormous, particularly on account of their aid to agriculture, horticulture and forestry. The protection of non-game birds is receiving more attention and ‘clubs and societies are being formed for this purpose. Schools and individuals are encouraging the placing of bird houses and feeding stations, all of which has a beneficial effect, and an increase is noted. The game bird situation is not so satisfactory, as the depletion of grouse has become alarming. The scarcity of the partridge or ruffled grouse is noted everywhere, and prai- rie chickens are few except in a cer- tain limited area. There are not enough prairie chickens and other grouse in Minnesota to warrant shooting them unless conditions can be improved. The remedy proposed is refuges and closed seasons and pro- tection from natural enemies. Take advantage of a want ad. Mother Longs fo Good 0ld Fashioned Keros Says mother, “If I could only get the good old fashioned coal oil we used to burn I'd surely be happy.” bor overhearing this remark quickly replied, I have found that WHITE ROSE kero- sene is even better than the old fashioned kind. I've tried them all and find that WHITE ROSE will give a pure, white light when burned in a lamp, and it threws intense heat, when used in an oil stove.” That's the Verdict Of most all WHITE ROSE kerosene users. They surely do notice the differenee, because there is SUCH a differ- ence. And the beauty of it all is that it ,costs no more than the smoky stuff you're so apt to get.
