After passin' through a most strenuous period of the Christmas holidays and their activities, followed by illness which as yet is not entirely overcome, we take our pen in hand once again to acquaint our friends of the recent past and what we are now doing. Mrs. J. H. Sayer was a visitor in Davenport during the holidays. She reports a most enjoyable time. Henry Henderson, who has been holding a position at a hotel in Morrison, Ill., for several weeks past, has returned to Clinton and is now employed at the hotel and Mrs. M. O. Culberson and Mrs. Holland Williams of this city were the guests of the Toussaint L. Overture club in Davenport at their reception last month. Miss May Taylor of Burton visited with her parents over the holidays. Jas. Cooper, after spending the winter duties in Morrison, Ill. Messas, Edward and Fred Alkens, who less than two years ago formed a partnership to maintain a cab line, increased their business last week by purchasing the cab line owned by the Hart Brothers, strong business competitors. The cab business owners by Alkens Bro, who, it is hoped, may continue with success as in the past. From recent advices from Rockford, ill., we learn that all is not peace and harmony in the A. M. E. church, Rev. C. H. Thomas, the pastor, and members having had a very serious disagreement caused by the highhanded methods we use in the church. Strange to say, the very same tactics practiced in Rockford are the identical same as he endeavored to carry out while pastor in this city and which caused his removal. In his recent trouble the meeting in which the trouble arose was thrown into a panic, the pastor was arrested and an assault on members present. For this he was arrested and fined. The congregation held a mass meeting, at which resolutions were drawn up denouncing the pastor. Copies of same have been sent to him, the presiding elder and the bishop. They demand also his removal. They have with other resolutions been so far as adequate enough to have had Thomas as a sympathizer with Rockford in her distress. Why a wolf in sheep's clothing is allowed to masquerade around in the garb of a pastor is more than the people can figure out. OBITUARY. Gone To Rest.

In order to express the significance of the recent Social Education Congress, which was held in Boston, the broadest possible definitions of "social" and "education" are necessary. Signature educational problems have been far less likely to teachers and experts in pedagogy. This congress was not a teachers' meeting, but a conference of leaders in all departments of life. The variety of the subjects discussed and the many interests represented by the speakers showed that real education touches life at every point, says the Youth's Companion: that, as wise men have always felt education is the development in all possible ways of the individual and of the unit in society. The business man explained what he demanded of the schools that are sending him young clerks and workmen. The man of pub affairs showed what the schools should do for the boy and the girl who are to vote. From the laborer man, through a union leader, came the message of the experienced workman to those in charge of the mature boy who is soon to choose a trade Physicians and specialists in physical care pleaded for the care of the body, for education which should teach respect for the finely organized instrument of thought and labor. From the churches preachers of many denominations spoke the word for spiritual culture in all education of the hands and the brain. Public it briars traced the relation of their institution to the schools. Banker president of public service company manufacturer, tradesman, professor psychologist—all these in some way asserted the great truth that education is not merely the concern of specialists, it is everybody's business, so it is related to every part of every man's life. Once this is realized, our schools will be vitalized as never before. Health of School Children. Enthusiastic automobilists are urging that a national highway be built between New York and Chicago. The proposed road is not intended for the amusement of rich pleasure-seekers, but for the farmers, who are to own traction wagons in the future and carry their crops from the farm to the best market. A party has traveled between the two cities by automobile noting the best route to be followed the location of gravel pits and the grades to be overcome. It has obtained facts enough to make its inquiries worthy of respect. Whether the national highway is ever built as such, says the Youth's Companion, there will be a continuous good road across the state of New York in a year or two, built by the state or by the various towns and cities; and there are excellent stretches of good road in the other states along the line. A popular fact in the life of Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, who has just been transferred from the naval portfolio to that of the attorney general in the president's cabinet, is that he has never visited Europe.

Incanch as I feel congelled to make a series of recommendations that touch, directly to the public, and the railroads within the State. I must be allowed a brief pre-use. They have been, within the last three or four years, so much discussion concerning the relations of the铁路 and the use of the铁路 to the people, that those of the ownage rail or land and the need to be used to carry a violent prejudice which will remain in an unjust legislation. I cannot be love that the fear he well founded. The decision has been the national outcome of the more than one of the two actions in commercial and capital attempt of railway managers to keep the interest possible profit from the unperinfeited traffic of the line. These managers, while they nourish as a method of destruction the proposition that a method of destruction has not the liberty of the private property or even the will of not accept it as a rule of conduct. They still believe to apparently that they have a right to unlethic not only present earnings, but to make the future. They can not be more than the future. They can not be more than the future. They can not be more than the future. It is not a case of transforation facilities given like terms, order like conditions. There is no disposition upon the point of the people generally of the present railway, except the body of the management of their property, or to deny them full and adequate compensation for the current development of the land and land will be for it in mind when you come to consider the recommendations I shall make to the case of the people of this state that how long can we be in the state to adopt such legislation as would be to pre-our railroads of the opportunity and to represent the development of the people as an independent transportation, in being upon the transportation in the far, we are upon the����而 to continue the life. It has been said that the people will not have the power to serve the people efficiently unless they are reasonably compensated for the work they do. The spirit of the people of Iowa, and it is not to be a result of the use of the people, but in this General Assembly. The railway companies may dismiss all fear of injury. It is incredible that other legislators do not consider the use of the people of the country like ours will impose such restrictions upon the use of railroad property as will render the other products of the operation unfairly. The policy of the control of its owners, the whole history of legislation upon this subject proves exclusively the truth of the rights that will continue, and the action and limitation the compensation of railroads, whether the railroads have steadily grown in mileage and increased in revenue until their excessive stocks and goods aggregate and the increase of the value of the nation. Experience has abundantly shown that, with the privileges granted to them by the law, the time to be involved must be effectively than the legislatures and congresses can take care of the people. Concluding this general review, I come to special Passenger Fares. In my message delivered to the Thirty-first General Assembly, I had the honor to require railway companies to sell mileage books good for 100 miles and mileage books good for 500 miles and mileage books good until used; and I said in that connection if purchase was made, I should not be used by any member of the family, and I should not present any reason why a disadvantage as compared with the man who will embolden this recommendation issued the House of Representatives, but the family, and the Senate, counsel for the railway companies, must be institutionalized. Because it authorized discrimination, and although I do not concern in the conclusion, I feel lustfully that must be assumed, therefore, that if these troops treat which we now pose to the soldier must come through a general repositionation so to believe that, in the West, no country at least, nonessential traffic at railway stations at the present rates. The representatives of the railway companies assert actual rate paid by passengers. I have not more than two cents in the road, and the roads are not more than two cents, in making this commute free, and as much higher than we are agreed, as we need it, free transportation was not in This condition has been brought about since 1953 by a thorough, through rule enforcement, to restricted classes. When it is found that a person has travel a must deal may not be reeled per mile, and that the travel must be required for one mile or more per mile is necessary to enter the averages on two miles per mile, the exections are not required for one mile or more per mile, and the exections are not required for one mile or more per mile. For a payment that may be required for one mile or more per mile, the passenger service a single penny, it is still manifest that the adjustment is.

It eeps the railways and garage she has purchased a 2000-mile mileage per mile, as it does to carry a passenger carriage of extensive convenience and mileage; indeed, I think the former costs a little more, for the use of the industry, of extensive bureaucracy for identification, marking and delivery of the company station. The only advantages derived by the railways company are its advantage, and this does not warrant any appreciable reduction in the rate of advance, and this does not warrant any appreciable reduction in the rate of excursions, conventions, meetings of associations, and the like. It is unjustified to assume that the railways family, or the merchant and his family, as they go from place to place, either in connection or to gatherings of men to conventions or to gatherings of men to conventions or to gatherings of men to movements of making our people pay, as they move down the train and to take train after train load of pleasure workers to points of entertainment or to numerous states in the hope of finding friends that These things, however, are entirely within the control of the railway companies. If we agree them an opportunity to take two cents per mile from everyone to the two cents per mile of the company, we are the themselves of the opportunity to they can, their revenue from the passenger traffic will not be reduced a single dollar; on the contrary, according to individual experience. It will be increased in the other time the rate of the磅ies, with the right to demand two cents per mile from all who travel, and it advantage, by reason of nictor and extrinsic results, to reduce the rates under certain circumstances below the market rate and to displace the reverse流动 actually received they cannot assert that the law has done them an injustice. I stand firmly upon the proposition that the travelers who are now paying three cents per ton per ton of parking the fees of travelers who are abundantly able to pay their own; and the burden is laid upon the people who are least able to bear it. It is a discrimination which cannot be defended, and which ought not to be considered to be a Act of Exemption, either than the prohibition against passes already in force, and enlargement of the prohibition of which I shall speak presently, and which I hope will shortly be for the end of the monthly period. If the return is due to the railway companies, and will help greatly in maintaining the average at or above its present point. What I have said has been upon the earnings of the passenger and freight traffic. I do not believe, however, that the earnings of the passenger and freight traffic is to be tested wholly by any such criterion, prefer to look at the earnings of the passenger and freight traffic if they are found to be more than they require whether a two-second passenger will or will not be in, and of itself produce in this state is the transportation of freight, and it clearly appears from the earnings of the passenger that they regard passenger traffic as an important source of income, make it the source of any considered net income.

The average process for the first two years was $18,240,486.00, using the percentage for ascertaining net error of $8,630,911.30 for the total average net error of $8,630,911.30. In the year 6 percent of the year, this sum will pay $180.00. It will pay interest on interest cost of $273,201.50. These rates are based on the cost, especially for those of interest, upon the fact that practically one half the capitalization of railway properties is redeemable to the total average interest on which it is about $4. The net amount of the sum of the net charge of railway companies should be made a reasonable return is not easy. It is not possible to present the present value of the total investment you are approximately the proper capitalization very quickly. I have A verdict was set aside in Paris because of the shrewdness of a lawyer for the defense.

Canned checks representing several millions of dollars the product of many years, have been used to decorate the offices of the Stoller Commission Company, in Kansas City.

Three years ago, Miss Edwina Lawrence, of Ohio, had a quarrel with her uncle and became a stenographer resolved to earn her own living. She secured employment at the Montecito, Atlantic City.

This is evidently a bute to her pluck in facing the world determined to make her own way. heard it stated by the representatives of railway companies before the Executive Council, over and over again, that the average actual cost of the railroads in low did not exceed $20,000.00 per mile. There are now 9,827 main track miles in the state, which tested by this theory of value, are worth $190,540,000.00. The cost earnings of 1905, as you will observe, were sufficient to pay more than 10 per cent upon such a valuation. The average early net earnings for five years would pay 948,100 per cent upon this valuation. If you take the cost of reproduction as the proper test, an average of 20,000 per mile is about right. Upon this basis, the railroads are worth $24.75,000.00. You can compute in a moment the percentage of interest which he net earnings would pay upon this sum will not be overlooked, of course, that any considerable reduction in earnings would, in all probability, result, and ought to result. In a reduction in the value of I account three suggestions to you to be维系 by your mature judgment before beginning in inquiry as to the justice or injustice if any action you take against the railway company, whether from the passenger or the driver, involves a high sense of responsibility and it demands for its consideration at all times that you will examine it, and act upon without delay. For my own part, I am deeply convinced that a reduction in the passenger fare necessarily warrants the abstention of a two-cent rate for the exiting three- Freight Rates. What I have already said is sufficient in so far as the income of railway companies is concerned. The Railroad Commission has already adequate power to conduct the construction of manufacturing routes. The schedule and classifications announced in 1888 have not been changed recently, as recently during the eighteen years that have since intervened. In the measure of the country have it been revolutionized; and it is to be true that the present development of rates is closely unfair to the population and distribution of the state. They do not have to be in fair and even chance in the struggle for business. It may be worth your while to institute an investment of $100 million in power, might develop many things which the Railroad Commission can't discover, and which would greatly aid in the readjustment. As you know, as a result of an increase in the cost of railway companies, in bringing statements of any kind into the state, to make rates to the state line, and then add the rate of the low-discontinued. This process is the result of a great herbalism to our new manufacturers and manufacturers in their efforts to compete with their plans situated beyond the State. To the extent that the state is a significant subject, I take the literature of giving you the substance of two letters which I received during the time I was writing this part of my message: The cases submitted by the governor show that, in one instance the road charged $294.22 more for the one-fifth of the haul in Iowa, than it did the fourth-fifth of the millions, and the other I understand perfectly that nothing that you could do satisfies the requirement of the railroads to make the settlement policy of the railroads to make the interstate rate, so far as Iowa people are concerned, the state line to the point of destination it is possible to adjust our rates that follow our application in that manner. At the present time, there are no joint rates upon specific application, to establish a joint rate, or a general module of joint rates. The constitutionality of the existing statute was determined in which it arose was determined upon another issue, and therefore the validity of the statute under the subject to you, and worthy of your most careful consideration. It is believed by very many of our manners that our general shippers, that the law should be amended so as to confer upon you the authority to establish a schedule of joint rates, embring all railroads, and all traffic, as it now requires a schedule of rates over single lines. Demurrage. Two propositions will be admitted with- First, that it is the duty of every railway company to provide itself with sufficient motive power and enough cars to carry the freight offered to it with reasonable promptitude, and to furnish these facilities without discrimination to the shippers who ask for them: Second, it is the duty of shippers and consignees to load and unload cars with reasonable promptitude, to the end that each car may perform the maximum of service. Shippers complain, and in recent times the complainer has been emphatic that the railways do not furnish cars as they should with reasonable difference, and do not move them, when loaded, with sufficient speed; and that they do discriminate between their patrons. The railway companies complain that shippers and consignees are not careful in loading and unloading cars when furnished, and to correct the latter evil they impose a penalty for detention, which is called, in railway꾸관꾸. It seems to me consistent with good practice to insist on the duty of not posed upon both sides. If the railway companies are remits in their duty of not posing a danger to their passengers should pay for their delinquency, and it the shipper and consignee are negligent in not paying for their fault. I recommended the sufficient motive in both carriers and shipmen to do their fully duty in his regard. Free Transportation. A very ago. I gave to the General Assembly my views upon this subject, and I be have to refer to my former message for a full exposition of the evils which attend the practice of granting free transportation to favored persons and classes, the not which was passed by the Thirtiary General Assembly was to be right direction, but I respectfully submit that it did not reach the end toward which the public settlement so firmly advanced. Its prohibition is not broad enough toదிக்க some of the most objectionable phases of the custom. Since its presence, Congress has celebrated upon the subject. It is for as it comes to the existent preparedness of a personless much more effectively. I believe that the law of Iowa should be amended so as to can form to the law of the United States, and I recommend the enforcement of our status so that what is noteworthy for a result is the country to do, between the states and all the unrest of the world in the state. I recommend further that you take such a definition of Iowa as will effectively inppact the tolerance of measures to nonannex who's ex-nation with the company is either formal or granted otherwise to give opportunity for non-contribution.

This is a dose nauseating enough to disturb the stomach of an they cannot exercise the care essential to their own safety and to the safety of the travelling public. The history of railroad accidents is full of warning upon this subject. The operation of railway trains demands a vision not diluted by physical sleep, a memory not impaired by physical weariness. It demands that all senses be alive and keen. It is well established that many of the most desirable accidents result from the failure of men who have been at their posts for twenty-four, thirty-six and even forty-eight hours without the chance for To require such continuum work is human to employee; to permit it is an of force against the public; to permit it is an offense against the public; to permit it is an offense alone, for there are employees who seek an opportunity to thus increase their wages. If the employer considers then either profit to the employer or compensation to the employee. The public safety overcomes them both. The employer, as a law that will forty and reasonably light continuous service of employees engaged in Primary Elections The wisdom of establishing a system for the nomination of candidates for election is highly detailed in prior General Assemblies, but has been maturely considered by the party number will be found in the plank run of the two original political parties which decide the outcome of the election, overseeing majority of the voters. The experience of each year, as it passes, embodies imminent change in the methods of nominating candidates. We have long tried the plan of nominating candidates and the defects discovered in this system have been so manifest that there is a p. p. p. p. of difficulty. We carefully recommend, as I have recommended before, an efficient primary system for online and offline correctly assemble differences of opinion with respect not only to the scene but the details of such differences may be so broad and so fundamental that they cannot be reconciled, but shall not impose upon you at this time more than a statement of the law should contain. First it should embrace the nominations of candidates for all the offices of the municipal or district, including the office of Senator of the plenipotentiary, the office of the commissioner of for three offices by the primary vote, and the commissioner of elective electromenaces to convey agreement to the event of a tie. Tied the primary vote held throughout the State on the day and of the same places. Fourth should be some fair test of party affiliation. I know that there are some thoughtful students of the subject who were thus in the midst of adolescence, and I grant that there may be instances in which the concurence of a majority of the students of a majority of the cases would be to make no substantial change in the present society, and I would be called to nominate candidates. If, therefore, we are to advance at all, it seems that we must adopt nominations by pluralities. I am aware, also, that there are many students of the Supreme and District Courts. At the Supreme Court, and Superintendent of Public Instruction, should not be included, do not share the fear which leads to writing to concede that if there are to be exceptions to the full and complete operation of the law, as along this line, rather than any one, I leave the subject with you, confident that the vast importance and in accordance with the audit which so universally prevails, *Contributions by Corporations For Poor* That it has become a custom with corporations of various kinds to make contributions to accomplish or defeat the present war, and to assist in the election of candidates for public office, is so well known and has been so completely established that it is not a matter of the people, nor to the people. There are many reasons of the weightiest character, which demand an immedible prohibition against such misuse of correlation and knowledge of the quality of immorization for the violation of the law. First, the growing tendency to use money to political campaigns is subversive to the use of the money of government, for it not only destroys purity of motive, but it overthrows the safety which is always found in individual and intellectual actions. But the problem is that the theft from every stockholder who does not give his assent to the contribution, and the misappropriation is peculiarly obvious to the use of the time of money of a stockholder at work for a eau didate whose success the stockholder does not desire. Third, the practice gives to the use of the money of firms simply because of the money contributed—an influence which is necessarily both selfish and vicious. Corporations are the only means of the exchange of money, and the most effective way in which to give them strength for resist the imposition to fix a means for participation is never the most attractive one. The will of the most in my earnestness, the enactment of a measure upon his subject that will stop, as once for the reason, odious a misuse of corporate property. In this connection, I desire to submit here that must be some expenditure of money in every political campaign, whether for a public purpose or for ultimate purposes for which money can be expended, and to this extent, when concluding the criticism of the practice. We will all agree, however, that the expenditures of the campaign must be missed both a fair and reasonable limit. Other countries and other states have at least a strong incentive to honest bounds through that very efficient corrective—muddy. I think the state should strongly correct a law that will resonate not only political committees, but also the public, to publish their expenditures. Lobbying And The Lobbyist Lobbying And The Lobbyist Mary McLean is well known and the wives once more to expose them. Corporations, direct memory or property interest in inquiries that are proposed before leas- sors, and the fact that they have the privilege of submitting other forms or to the men who make the laws enforcement. Morrison, however, the politicians of such representatives, should be as touch the merit or deserts of the inclusion process and, wherever any a member be any other consideration, must be a crime and the amnesty be exempt, and save and seize. I understand that, but that is no reason for in- munity when they are discerned.

I am glad to say that in Iowa these mice have grown to be quite numerous. I hope to see the species which I have not yet seen. Future may be able to write that about this time the race be Senators by Direct Vote. The governor reports the results of the convention called to consider matters to be addressed by senators and directors and then sees. The Executive Committee will present the results of the convention as rapidly as their legislatures convene, and its members will make the application to Congress for a Constitutional Congress. The senators will make the application to Congress for a Constitutional Congress. The constitution does not limit the scope of the Constitutional Congress, but it does not because it was believed that it is not in the power of Congress to limit the conduct of the convention. I am profoundly convinced that Senators of the United States should be elected by direct vote. If there were were actions in the following days of the day between the people and the senators, they have long ago censed to exist, and in this age there is for restoring the right to be the full privilege to which they are indisputably entitled. Four times the House of Representatives in the House has passed a green solution for the submission of an amendment upon this subject to the states. But the Senate has persistently ignored the effect of the action of the House to take the step necessary to give it the status of the opportunity to express their decisions. Therefore, if these come once the other time of the other alternative of the Constitution, and call a Constitutional Convention, know that there are men who fear such a convention. But theSenators are in the process of being believed that the Constitution will be unwisely amended when it is remembered that the members of the Convention are not the only senators of the choice. Examples of our civilisation, must first agree before any amendment can be submitted to the states, and then thirty-five of the states' positions must be proposed to be proposed amendment, can become a part of the Constitution. If this is not a sufficient safeguard, we are not fit to live in a free country. Strongly recommend the passage of a resolution that will be an application to Congress, under Article IV of the Constitution of the United States, for the adoption of the Constitutional Convention to the policy requirements to the Constitution. Corporations. My observation and experience intensify the conclusions I have twice announced in my book, the organization of corporations. I take one step further and say that it seems to me that the organization of corporations is time to require the articles of incorporation of every corporation hereafter organized by the Executive Council, with the Attorney General added, before they are permitted to be prepared to prevent the establishment of a large number of associations either unwalnut and fraudulent in their purpose or imperfect in their plan. I referrate my recommendation that no capital stock should be held by a state authority had made extermination, and until it had been妥善ly shown the effect of its own property, at a fair value. The universal practice of issuing capital stock for it is the fruitful source of more injustice and quiescence than any other form of corporation. Our own corrupt corporations to issue stock as they now do is no more defensible than upon a defenseless people. It is believed in many of the most thoughtful jurists that the time has come for an annual franchise cor-ovation tax. I concur in that because the time has come for an annual time place some of the burdens of main-tenance of the state, and at the same time place some of the burdens of main-tenance of the state, they belong, providing or such a tax. An Enlargement of Pure Food Law. Last year, the General Assembly adopted a measure intended to protect the people from fraud and imposition in the sale of adulterated and unwholesome foods. It is now in operation and I believe that it will accomplish great good. Those who are vitally interested in the live stock industry feel that similar protection should be extended to live stock foods. I have examined the subject with as much care as has been possible under the circumstances and have reached the conclusion that their views are sound. I therefore recommend the enactment of a law with respect to such foods, having the general scope and purpose of the act of the Thirty-first General Assembly relating to pure food. The governor makes a report on pardons and paroles, and recommends the passage of a law providing for an indeterminate sentence. The governor says the experience of the last year in all the educational institutions has been most gratifying. He recommends that the school of correspondence be with the state of the department of agriculture. The governor recommends that Des Molines citizens who furnished money with which to purchase more land for the State Agricultural Society be reimbursed; that the state board of health be authorizes the ex-Minister of Public Health to qualify as undertakers of embalmers; that powers of mayors of large cities be enlarged; that the voting machine commission be given authority to cancel approval of machine service; the government of the government of Congress be called to Iowa's claim against the government arising out of the rule of public lands; that a direct inheritance tax be levied; that employers' liability be defined; that a roster of Iowa soldiers is under that law; the rule of law of the state, even for the non-family because, even for the non-family, the commendation of the government for the commendation to insurance be considered. The governor concludes as follows: Gentlemen, I have now performed as best I could the duty which the law imposes upon me, only to the city comes and vors begin. I transfer these subj cts to you in full confidence that in so far the right of the recommendations will be found approval at the request. I am not as far as I am wrong they will fall under the weapons of your fair debate. Respectfully submitted ALBERT B.

Thousands of men work all their lives and are building the dam of the great Yellow river in China. Yet every now and then the tide sweeps away all opposition and the loss in human life is greater than any war ever caused. Nineteen years ago the river burst its bonds. Day after day the torrent flowed, 20 miles to the hour, 30 miles wide and ten feet deep. It has been described as that of five Dams in China for two months on end. For 2,000 years the Chinese have been embanking this river. THE FIRST TWINE Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr. William Pink Pills If You Would Be Easily Cured. Mr. Frank Little, a well-known citizen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was cured of a severe case of rheumatism in his parents' Pink Pills. In speaking about it he said, a body was run down, and a condition to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheumatic pain in my arms and across my back. My arms and legs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I could hardly move, while my arms were useless at times. I was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart pain me so terribly I could hardly stand my stomach became sour and bloated after eating and this grew so bad that I had inflammation of the stomach. I extremely ous and could not bear the heart noise or excitement. One whole side if my body became malwed. "As I said before, I had been suffering about five years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when a friend here in Portland told me how Dr. Williams Pink Pills had cured him of neuropathy in the face, even after the pain had drawn it to one side. I decided to try the pills and began to see some improvement soon after using them. This encouraged me to keep on until I was entirely cured. I have never had a return of the rheumatism or of the paralysis. I were for sale by all drug gists or sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents in boxes $2.50. by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schoenectad, M. Y. THE BRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA. Will Open Up Immens Area of Free Homestead Lands. The railway facilities of Western Canada have been taxed to the utermore in recent years to transfer the surplus grain crop to the eastern markets and the seaboard. The large influx of domestic railroad in the individual under crop have added heavy to the grain product, and notwithstanding the increased railway facilities that have been placed at the disposal of the public, the question of transportation has proved to be a serious one. It will, therefore, be good news to everyone interested in Western Canada, to know that an authoritative statement has been given out by C. M. Hays president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, that that railway will do its share towards moving the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to tide water, and thus assist in removing a serious obstacle which has faced the settlers during recent years. Mr. Hays, who has just completed a trip from Portage in Prairie to Edmonton in a prairie schoencher, a distance of 735 miles, which was covered in eighteen days, is enthusiastic about the country. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in the Canadian West, even if the Mays declares to be bound to a time limit with the exceffence of a stop-watch. The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be a position to take part in the transportation of the crop of 1907, and that will be satisfactory to the settlers in that country when the harvest is garaned. The wheat crop of 1906 in Western Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels, and, with the increased acreage which is confidently expected to be put under crop next year, it is safely calculated that fully 125,000,000 bushels will be harvested in 1907. The necessity for increased transportation facilities are, therefore, apparent, and the statement made by Mr. Hays will bring en courage to the farmers of the Canadian West, new and old. The addition of thousands of fresh homesteads is thus assured by the agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere. Many a man smacks of freshness, but freshness gets no smacks.

SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitsless—Suf fured 10 Years—Completely Cured by Cuticura. "When I was about nine years old small scars appeared on each of my lower limbs. I scratched them with a brass pla and shortly afterwards both of those limbs so sore that I could scarcely walk. When I had been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been. From that time onward I was troubled by such severe itching that, until I became accustomed to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This would stop the itching for a awful aw, but scaly places were also would accompany them. After I suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctors in my native county advised me to use arsenic in small sores and a salve. I then used to仕he sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In addition I used other remedies, such as sodium, zinc salve, —s salve. — Ointment, and in fact I was continually giving some remedy a fair trial, never using less than or two boxes or bottles. All his was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly coming bald. I used. I was also first using used almost everything I thought I would try Cuticura lutea, having previously used cuticura. Soap and being pleased with it. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was stored, and fourteen years of suffering and an expenditure of at least $0 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to and a cure. I shall be glad to write to any one who may be interested in my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Verdun, M.狄. Aug. 18, 1906."

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the winning quality of the goods. This trick can be entirely overcome by using Distance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Origin of Starch. The art of starching was not introduced into England until the ingenuity of Dutch women in starching ruffs induced Queen Elizabeth to turn to them when she took to wering cambric and linen cuffs. In 1654 Mistress Dinghia von den Plasse, the refugee from the Dutch, came with her husband to London, to establish an old writer, and set up an establishment for starching, where she not only piled her trade, but instructed English classes in her art. Fine Feet of Engineering. The feet of moving a lighthouse without taking it apart or dismantling it in any way has recently been accomplished at Ashtabula. The range light, weighing 65 tons and standing 65 feet high, was placed on a lighter and towed along the river a distance of 750 feet, and then successfully place on a new site. It was raised by the use of jacks and moved on rollers to and from the lighter. Guy ropes held it in position while moving.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER. German Doctor Explains Causes of Various Formations. At a recent convention of German naturalists and doctors Dr. Walcher, of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper put forth a sensational theory to explain the formation of the shape of the head of infants. He maintained that the head of a child could be molded artificially. He found by experience that when a medium-shaped head is placed in a soft cushion the child turns on its back, or rests on the back of its head, in order to free mouth, nose and face. In this manner the head rests smoothly, and a short head is developed. But if the medium-shaped head of a child is placed on a hard under-rest, like a hair mattress or rolled carpet, the child's head turns aside, as it cannot stand any more on its head than an egg, for the muscle of the back is weak. Therefore, with continued resting on the side a long-head jaw developed. To prove his argument the lecturer presented a child-head mother and sister are short-headed. The child at its birth is a short head, now after 8 months it is long skullled. If the child was placed on its back, according to other experiences its head would have been short-shaped. Dr. Walcher did not deny that the shape of the head was inherited, but asserted that it could be greatly influenced by the way the child rested. COSTLY PRESSURE. Heart and Nerves Fall on Coffee. A resident of a great western state puts the case regarding stimulants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says: "I am 56 years old and have had considerable experience with stimulants. They are all alike—a mortgage on reserved energy at rikune interest. As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Postum Food food some months ago. The beneficial results have been aparent from the first. The need that I used to suffer in my hands has left me I sleep sounder, my nerves are steadier and my brainelerer. And I best testimony is to the food value of Postum food—something that is lacking in coffee." Name given by Postum Co.attle Creek, Mich.

Kingston, Jammia, Jan. 18- The dial here is as great as the calla- lms. The whole town is in ruins, and the greater portion is still smouldering ashes. The smell of burnt flesh pervades the air. The air like from Kingston is baked and the correspondent had to go to Holland the next miles to the east, to die this message. The earthquake cane as a sudden oscillation, not from any particular direction, but up and down. Thousands of persons were on the streets of Kingston at the time, and great numbers of them were crusades. Many Americans in Kingston were killed and have been armed. Realizing the possibility of famine, the people made attempts to loot. The military however at once took possession of food stock. Detachments of troops with fixed bayonets were placed on guard. They were concentrated in a central portion. No one is allowed to pass through the ruined sections of the city. Kingston is threatened with a failure to burn the property owing to the bursting of a reservoir. The military surreptitely, the hospital camp, where there were several hundred soldiers, was burned, and a number of the men lost their lives. Maj. W. H. Hardman and J. R. M. Darylamphe and Major Lawrensen are seriously injured. Parts of the town of Port Royal have sunk and two men were drowned. The batteries sunk eight feet, killing a sapper. In several places the water is spouting through the Port Antonio, in the north of the island, suffered little damage. The Hotel Litchfield, with a hundred American guests, was not destroyed. A tidal wave has inundated Annota bay, washing out many houses. The shock was severe at Richmond and by fire. Spanish town also was damaged. Cae man was killed and ten men were injured there. It is reported that at Annota bay the crater of an extinct volcano is emitting flames and smoke, and it is thought that the earthquake originated from the words of Jamaica contain no previous mention of activity of this volcano. Appeals have been sent to all sections of the island asking for assistance. Food stuffs are needed above all things. The mermaid Bella from Philadelphia arrived here yesterday with a small cargo of provisions. Business is at a stanstill. Some shops have been opened by Chinese who have raised the prices on goods 1,000 per cent. This so angered the people that the Chinamen were dived on their hair. The hope of famine relief lies in the banana crops which have not been injured. Medical assistance is limited owing to the deaths of several doctors. The body of Sir James Ferguson was found and buried yesterday. The governor and Lady Sweetenham and others are doing noble rescue work. The shipping in the harbor is safe. Epidemic of Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever in Schools. Chicago, Jan. 18. The scarlet fever and diphtheria epidemic in Chicago and its suburbs spread like a lightning strike yesterday. Six thousand children lie stricken with the dread disease, according to physicians of the Chicago health department and doctors in Evanston, Oak Park and other suburbs. Aroused by the enormous sick list, city officials began a strenuous fight to prevent further incurses on the city schools. The schools were closed and a plan to shut all Chicago schools, public and parochial, was discussed. Reports of new cases flooded into the health department office with increasing reality. Sixty-six new cold-related cases of diphtheria were reported within the city limits in three hours. In Oak Park, the board of health besides ordering the public schools closed, issued orders not night schooling, and asked teachers to take place in the Oak Park Y. M. C. A. Sunday School classes in all the churches also will be suspended next Sunday. The nearby towns are suffering the man from the disease, and a determined effort is being made to prevent any further spread of the fever. BUXTON SCENE OF MURDER. Colored Bad Man, Shot While Making Attack. Buxton.—Howard Burgess, well known as one of the baul men of Buxton, was shot and killed here by Marion Thompson, the killing taking place in the courtyard. Burgess walked into the restaurant and after a few words, attacked Thompson. The latter pulled a gun from behind the counter and fired three shots, all of them taking effect. Burgess shot the officer and killed a man of colored men, witnessed the shooting, and all made the statement that the shooting was in self-defense. The Imperor Menelek. of Abyssinia, has decreed cruel punishment to such of his subjects as take snuff. He has their noses out off. Those who smoke in the courtyard are put in jail.

Always to Be Depended Upon. When a person gets up in the morning with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain indication that the Liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order. At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century.

Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon, and in every drug and medicinal store, plain or sugar-coated. American Idealism. Since my first arrival in America I have held that the real spirit is idealistic and that the average individual American is controlled by idealistic impulses. Those who may contradict me can not have sounded the depths of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson, or studied the life and read the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and considered their far-reaching effect on the American people. In Lincoln's great character nothing can be more striking than the way in which he combined reality and the loftiest ideal, with a thoroughly practical capacity that ideal by practical methods. This faculty seemed to give him a far-sighted, almost superhuman vision, which enabled him to pierce the clouds obscuring the sight of the keenest statesmen and thinkers of his age—Baron Speck von Sternburg, in Forum.

Remember our first-class barber Severe Ordeal for Baseliers Members of the Mjilj tribe, who live on the Limpopo river, in Africa, wear an extraordinary marriage dress. This weird and uncomfortable-looking costume is made entirely of splint rods fastened together with grass, the unhappy bachelor complements a matrimonial costume to wear it for the old months before the happy event takes place, meanwhile leading a life of strict seclusion. Pauper Clerymen. That ministers are underpaid would seen evident from the fact that during the last ten years 163 clergymen have been admitted to mishmons in England as papers.

It is to Lord Roseberry that we are indebted for the most modern definition of memory. "What is memory?" said a friend one day to him.

Habit and limitation—there is nothing more perennial in us than these two. They are the source of all working and all apprenticeship, as well as all learning, in the word.—Carlyle.

Medical Journal Why Be Pessimistic1 Like an individual, a nation cannot expect to be healthy or happy which, so to speak, is forever feeling its own pulse and looking at its tongue in the glass.

The foremost maritime powers of Europe and Asia are both insular, but Japan, like Great Britain, obtained its start in civilization from the continent near by.

No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, pure and good without the world being the better for it, without somebody being well and comforted by the very existence of this goodness.-Phillips Brooks Where the Acorns Are.

Small Kindness Count Small kindnesses make a hundred friends where great talents make but one. All Dread Ridicule. Almost any man can be calm in the face of denunciation, but few one stand to be laughed at. Some people never dream of pruning anything or anybody. They take everything as a matter of course, and imagine that they show their superiority by so doing. They little dream that they never get the best service owing to their misgardiness in showing their appreciation. It is surprising how a little word of praise stimulates to new effort, and puts life and interest into the work of those about us. The winter palace is the cast's winter house and officially the palace of the government. The winter palace was built by the empress Anne on the site of a house given to Peter the Great by one of his admirals.
