How to Cure a Cold He as careful as you can you will occasionally take cold; and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability; one that has has an established r-putation and that is, certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by its remarkable curses of this most common ailment; and can always be depended upon. It acts on nature's plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of a single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used; which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by all druggists.

Mich., Judge Perkins in the County Curtt on the 17th, inst., issued a mandamus directing the Grand Rapids Vetinary college to accept the entrance application of F. D. Jooker and W. D.

Judge Perkins held that the college being a quasi-public institution and as such receiving certain benefits from the state had no right to discriminate among citizens. We are proud of the victory for right and justice. We as a race must learn to know and stand by and support our white friends who are honestly and earnestly fighting for equal accommodations.

The Negro farmer in the south own in their own right, and according to statistics, over 12,300 farms including those which they control as tenants. The wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, of Savannah, Ga., held its eight annual meeting November, 2nd. Notwithstanding the money panic, their increase of business during the past year amounted to a little over $3000. During the year the company did a business of $71,533.58, declaring a dividend of 12 per cent, for its stockholders. The interest on deposits is greater than that given by any other bank in the city. The success of the company is due mainly to the effects of its president, L. E. Williams, and its secretary and treasurer W. S. Scott, in whom the patrons of the company, have the greatest confidence. Mr. Scott is a Tuskegee graduate. Mr. Thomas J. Hillard of the city of Baltimore, Md., conducts a successful house-forming business that is over one hundred years old.

The most important question for the public library is "What books shall we buy?" In many towns the reading committee is a recognized adjunct of the library, and the librarian has the verdict of several different minds for aid in his task of selecting new books. Most of the voluntary readers are like to be women, and the service they reader the community is a real one, if their judgment and taste are sound. On the other hand, a compliant commendation of a book as "very interesting" may do actual harm when the book lies in the debatable land between bad and good—the land of current fiction and trashy juveniles. A great meeting of English librarians recently set forth some general principles which should help determine the desirability of books, says the Youth's Companion. First, they declared the notion exploded that a taste for good reading develops from reading poor books. The very contrary is true. The habit of reveling in cheap literature is destructive of a wholesome pleasure in sound reading. The love of books, like the love of virtue, feeds in high, clean, sweet pastures, not in refuse, and not even on husks. Again, the demand for certain books does not require the public library to supply them. It is a specious argument that the taxpayers' money should answer the taxpayers' desire. More than 60 per cent. of the books drawn from public libraries are works of fiction. The thin, tasteless stream of modern fiction is too often the library's chief offering to the community. Certain libraries adopt the rigorous measure of buying no fiction until it is a year old. The librarians agreed that the rule is an excellent one, if it is slightly elastic in its actual application. At all events, the helpful advisory reader for the public library is the man or woman who believes that in proportion as a good book is a blessing, a poor book is a curse. It seems incredible that in so civilized a country as Italy a man can have remained in prison untried for 38 years. Yet the government is about to dispose of a case which has been pending since 1870. On September 18 of that year two boys, aged 11 and eight years, started for a gunmish's with their father's pistol to be repaired. On the way they quarreled, and the elder shot the younger, probably by accident. The elder was arested by the paral authorities, then the rulers of Rome; but before he could be brought to trial the temporal power of the pope was taken away. By 1882 the new power in Rome had reached the case and was ready to try it; but the death penalty was abolished about this time, and this caused fresh delay. Now, if he is so fortunate, the boy, now a middle-aged man, will either be discharged from custody or be formally punished. At the present rate of progress in shipbuilding new terms will have to be devised to describe adequately the marine monsters. "Leviathans of the deep" seems a tame expression when applied to some of the new craft. Two now under construction will be 1,000 feet in length and 60,000 tons displacement. That means 238 feet longer that the Lusitania and Mauretania and nearly the carrying capacity of those ships. The Spanish armada lives in history as one of the great naval forces. Yet the entire tonnage of the armada was 59,120, or considerably less than that of one of the new steamers. Modern skill in naval construction, with the improved means of generating and applying power, makes these seeming miracles possible. There is no doubt that most people run their teeth and digestive system by taking food at too high a temperature. One cannot get into a hot bath if it is over 112 degrees; 105 degrees is dangerous, and even 100 degrees is worm. But from experiments made it appears that we eat meat at 115 degrees temperature, beans at 132 degrees, potatoes at 150 degrees. The average temperature of tea is 135 degrees, and it may be slipped, but cannot be swallowed in large quantities if it exceeds 142 degrees. Dr. Cook, who is looking for the north pole, writes that the boys are looking well and that he has plenty of dogs. No wonder the boys are looking well. Dog in that country is such a pleasant change from a steady diet of canned goods. A brother of the "King of Kurdistan" has applied for naturalization papers in this country. Being a brother of the "King of Kurdistan" isn't a very good job, evidently.

Grundy County Farmer Realize $160,000. This Season. WHAT'S WRONG WITH IOWA. That is Query at Iowa Dairymen's Convention. Grundy Center—Grundy county in all probability ships more potatoes than any other county in the state of Iowa. The past season, which has just closed, has been very successful. Prices have been very good and have ranged from 38 cents to 53 cents per bushel, with an average of about 45 cents. The yield has not been as good as in former years, and more likely relates to the acre, while an occasional field is reported of over 200 bushels to the acre. About 481 carloads were shipped from this station, and in addition shipments were made from other towns in the county, so that the total number of carloads will not fall far short of 700. This, with an average of 500 bushels to the car, will make about 350,000 bushels shipped out of the county this year, bringing the total number of crops about $100,000 for this crop alone. The crop was handled largely by local buyers. Suitable potato warehouses are needed to aid the handling of the crop properly. TELLS OF THE MURDER. Teils of Quarrels and Threats Which Led up to Murder Rockwell City—Mrs. James M. Brown, wife of the defendant, James M. Brown, on trial for the murder of his daughter-in-law, was on the stand Nov. 19, and told how Mrs. Emmia Johnson Brown came to her room and assaulted her and how her husband beat out her brains with an Indian club in his wife's defense.

Waterloo.—In answer to his own question, “What’s the Matter with Iowa?” E. R. Shoemaker, editor of the Creamery Journal and Kimball’s Dairy Farmer, said in an address before the Iowa State Dairy association that Iowa needs a Prof. F. D. Coburn to properly advertise its natural resources in such a way as to attract homeseekers and investors and keep at home the folks who should stay here. He also advocated more intensive farming on smaller farms. In this way he claims that the steady decrease in the farm population of Iowa, which has been going on for ten years, will be checked, and Iowa’s feptile prairies will flow with milk and money. “Iowa will at·/zays be known as a great corn state, and live stock state, and dairy state, but she is to become better known as a dairy state for the simple reason that therein lies her own salvation. Iowa must economize. She must turn from extensive to intensive farming. She must grow crops in fence corners and vacant fields, where now she is growing weeds. No state on earth but Iowa could afford to waste, absolutely waste, $40,000,000 of cernstalks every year. And Iowa cannot afford it any longer. Farmers must build silos and convert √ economic uses this wastage.” $100,000 WILL CASE DECIDED.

The jury was out only a little over two hours, and there was never a question with the jurors at any time as to the guilt of the oil octopus.

Stewart and Lee Edgerton were the defendants in the suit but the jury in its verdict, decreed that Edgerton should not be held liable for any part of the damage.

OIL KING TESTIFIES ROCKFELLER ON STAND FOR HIS STANDARD COMPANY. TELLS OF ITS BEGINNING Witness Becomes Enthulastic in Reviewing the History and Wonderful Growth of the Giant Corporation. New York—Relating his story with the air of a country gentleman of kindly men engaging a host of friends with incidents of days long past, John D. Rockefeller, president of the Standard Oil Company, though for nearly ten years retired from the active careers of company direction, for over two hours Wednesday reviewed the history of the early oil trade and the development of the first companies that later grew into the present so-called oil trust. Mr. Rockefeller was a witness for the defense in the suit to dissolve the Standard which is being prosecuted by the United States government, and his appearance at the hearing before Judge Franklin Ferriss, the referee, brought a large crowd to the Customs building. In a manner that indicated pleasure in what he was about to tell, Mr. Rockefeller spoke of his start in the oil business and how under adverse conditions that business grew to the proportions of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, with its capitalization of J. W. John D. Rockefeller. $1,000,000. Mr. Rockefeller's eyes sparkled in reflection on that early financial organization and speaking of its million-dollar capitalization with almost boyish enthusiasm, he said: "It seemed very large to us, who began with only $4,000 in 1862." Thus the proceedings lost in a sense their official aspect because of the engaging manner which Mr. Rockefeller displayed in his answers, now and then contained flashes of kindly humor. The equipment of Mr. Rockefeller's testimony Wednesday which carried him to the organization of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, indicated that one of the lines of the defense would be that the Standard Oil Company is not the result of an aggressive policy to gain the mastery of the oil trade, as charged, but the mastery of the oil industry development which the exigencies of the oil industry demanded.

Admiral Togo Points Out Those Captured from Russia—Brilliant Scene at Kobe. Kobe, Japan. — The fighting craft of Japan, comprising 110 vessels, exclusive of submarines, passed in review before the emperor Wednesday. The weather was perfect and the occasion was one long to be remembered. Embarking on the battleship Asama, the emperor was welcomed by Admiral Togo and the other admirals of the fleet. As dozens of guns volleyed their sails the sun emerged from behind a cloud, transgiving the great banners and plainly outlining on a distant hillside the figure of an anchor composed of pines planted by school children in 1903. The Asam, with Admiral Togo on the bridge, steamed slowly between the lines of warships and auxiliaries with every band playing the national anthem. Togo, at the emperor's side, detailed the strength and equipment of each vessel, pointing out the ships captured from Russia during the Russian-Japanese war. The review was concluded shortly before noon and the officers took tiffin on the Asam. As the emperor left the flagship the entire fleet united in a thunderous salute. Prior to his departure for the shore the emperor congratulated the navy upon a great improvement due to the energies of officers and men. At Kobe the enemy's light the scene was a magnificent outfit. The entire fleet was outlined in electric lights and the city was swarming with enthusiastic crowds. CONFESSES HUGE FORGERIES. Peter Van Vllssingen of Chicago Sent to Penitentiary.

Over the Alleghenies, among the woodland and meadow stretches of Ohio and Indiana, across the prairies of Illinois and Iowa, through the Wisconsin and Minnesota forests to the valleys of Dakota and on to Pueugot forest. The development of these ways been noticeable in the advancing tide of home makers and fortune-builders along those parallels of latitude. Thanksgiving day as an annual November celebration marked by family reunions and feasting is one of the good things that have persisted among transplanted New England customers. It is now a national event, most generously organized by the feature of this feastday is the tragedy of that royal fowl, the turkey. In the first years of the '80's two great rival railroad companies were hastening to secure for themselves in eastern Dakota the rich fields of a traffic yet to come into being. Both had entered the wonderfully fertile James river valley from the east, and as one turned its line northward from the south from Aberdeen, and the near approach of winter and the close of active operations found the two competing construction camps only a few miles apart. With the advance of the railroads or a little preceding them had settlers upon the government domain, and though farmers and wheatraisers were in the van, such nomadic and adventurous spirits as land agents and townite boomers, traders and newspaper men could be discovered even more easily than the railroad lines halted, and the builders retired to await the opening of spring. At the terminus of each road a little settlement had sprung up, less than a half-dozen structures marking the site of what was hoped to be and already was heralded as the metropolis of the valley. Upon such a situation steadily but surely crept the Thursday which the president of the United States had chosen at the annual day of thanksgiving, and at the distance of only one short week the fact suddenly dawned upon the clustered intelligence of these two Dakota towns that there was not a turkey in the great Jim valley north of Sloux Falls, and that 80 miles of wind-swept prairie lay between a more hopeful field of position supply at Watertown, near the Dakota boundary. There material for a volume of adventure in the account of the two expeditionals dispatched simultaneously yet with all secretion on a journey of a hundred and sixty miles to furnish forth a Thanksgiving dinner, but this story must omit the details. One party returned hilariously successful with the three turkeys that eloquence, strategy and money combined were able to procure in Watertown; the other, downcast, dejected, and pessimistic, came back empty-handed.

The prize turkey shoot came off early in the morning at Redfield, as advertised, but an unforeseen contingency resulted. A markman of truly diabolic skill developed in a resident of two weeks' standing, and all three turkeys fell before his trusty rifle. The fowls had been set up at 150 yards and with only their heads exposed to the destructive bullets. All participants paid a dollar for each shot had displayed an remarkable accuracy of aim, but the winner was a petitty, petitty, petitty, and captured the shooting match. The apprehension evolved among the witnesses of this remarkable accident soon ripened into rebellious determination. What was to be done with a disloyal citizen who calmly announced that the turkeys would be served up at a private banquet at the Hotel Dodge, to be enjoyed by himself and two special friends. He said he thought a bird aplace was about their normal capacity, and as three months certainly could not furnish a meal to someone else must go without turkey, it could be an asfactory all around to let three lucky fellows get enough for once. At the end of a short but explosive debate the winner was immured in a freight All Three Fell Before His Trusty Rifle car in spite of his verbal and static protests, and the turkeys were handed over to the hotel proprietor and his cook to be prepared for the grand public dinner. The short winter day came to an end and darkness fell upon the plain, hardly whitened by the snow that had melted as fast as it had fallen. Suddenly there was great excitement and confusion at the hotel. Nothing was to be found of the cook or of the turkeys which had been roasting for advance. The chef had been brined in advance by a wily Ashtonian, and with the first shades of night he had stolen away, figuratively and literally, with the turkeys already done to a turn. At Ashton all went merrily. The oyster supper began decorously, but when plates bearing small but indubitably genuine slices of turkey, and generous helpings of dressing flanked by quivering masses of crimson cranberry jelly, were swiftly passed down the long table, a wild, exultant shout went up that lifted the roof of the frail hotel structure and shattered the silence of a Dakota night outside. Among the unappeable crimes of the great west that are still shrouded in mystery is the bribing of the hotel cook. The briber possibly still lives in luxury, with his secret all his own; in some kitchen far away may still preside the chef who accepted his corrupting fund. Let us be sad for snowy plain. That holds them in their winter sleep. Give us the heart to understand The graciousness of spreading trees; The strong seasons, wisely planned; The storm of rain; For all the brightness of the dawn. And cheerful, noon of and night; It is built on Give us the grace. Let us remember each kind word By weight of goodly feeling blest— Each gentle thing we've said or heard— And blot from memory the rest. Give us the grace to see and know The benefits along the way. The many things that help us so. Let us be thankful every day. -Chicago Tribune ```markdown ``` MOM SOME REMARKS FROM MINNE SOTA EDITORS. What They Think of Western Canada A party of editors from a number of cities and towns of Minnesota recently made a tour of Western Canada, and having returned to their homes they are now telling in their respective newspapers of what they saw on their Canadian trip. The West St. Paul Times recalls the excursion of the Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Beering to what has happened in the interval the writer says: "Thousands of miles of new railway lines have been built and the development of the country has made marvelous strides. Millions of acres, in their wild and untouched state, have since been transferred into grain fields. Towns have sprung up as if by the wand of a magician, and their development is now in full progress. It is a revelation, a record of conquest or settlement that is remarkable." The Hutchinson Leader characterizes Western Canada as "a great country underdeveloped. The summer outing," it says, "was an eye-owner to every member of the party, even those from Western Canada ten years considerable of the territory covered this year, being amazed at the progress and advancement made in that short space of time. The time will come when Western Canada will be the bread-basket of the world. It was a delightful outing through a great country of wonderful possible sites. Since the visit of these editors the Government has revised its land regulations and it is now possible to secure 160 acres of wheat at $3.00 an acre in addition to the 160 acres that may be homesteaded. The crops of 1908 have been splen did, and reports from the various distrients good yields, which at press prices will give excellent profits to the farmers. From Milestone, Saskatchewan there are reported yields of thirty bushels of spring wheat to the acre, while the average is about 20 bushels. The quality of grain to be shipped from Saskatchewan is important information regarding free lands and transportation will be freely given by the Canadian Government Agents WARNED OF THE CYCLONE. Telephone Just a Few Seconds Ahead of High Wind. Once upon a time a Kansas zephyr broke loose and meandered about the country, picking up various things. Bill Baumgartner's telephone, 20 miles or so away, is rung: "Is that you, Bill?" yelled an excited voice. "Yes. What's the matter?" "This is Frank. We've got a cyclone down here, and it's headed your way. Look out! I—" Frank's voice broke off suddenly. Bill heard a crash and a sputtering, then all was silence. He gathered up his family and rushed them to a deep cave. They were just in time to dodge a funnel-shaped cloud that wrecked the house, picked up his barn, two cows, and a couple of miles of fence.—Hampton's Broadway Magazine. Her Experience. Letty was a little colored girl whose chief occupation was the bringing of water from a distant spring. This was very much to her discomfort, for the summons to fill the empty water bucket called her often from her play. One day her young mistress was giving her a lesson in Bible history, the object being Nahsh and the flood "Letty," she said, "what did Noah do when he found that the water was all gone?" Letty, who had been giving scant attention to the story, replied with a sigh: "I spec' he sent after mo." The Only Use He Knew. "The head of the family" was reading the widid account of the departure of the Israelites from the land of Egypt, and the four-year-old son listened with intense interest. At length the reader came to the passage, "And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him," when the boy, whose limited experience had taught him only one use for such articles, only one use for such divines by crying in exoited amazement: "To make soup wiv?"—Harper's month. UPWARD START After Changing from Coffee to Postum Many a talented person is kept back because of the interference of coffee with the nourishment of the body. This is especially so with those whose nerves are very sensitive, as is often the case with talented persons. There is a simple, easy way to get rid of coffee evils and a Tenn. lad's experience along these lines is worth considering. She says: "Almost from the beginning of the use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure the most trivial thing, either work or fun. anything I could eat that would agree with me. The little I did eat seemed to give me more trouble than it was worth. I finally quit coffee and drank hot water, but there was so little food I could digest, I was literally starving; was so weak I could not sit up long at a time. "It was then a friend brought me a hot cup of Postum. I drank part of it and after an hour I felt as though I had had something to eat — felt strengthened. That was about five years ago, and after continuing Postum in place of coffee and gradually getting stronger, to-day I can eat and digest anything I want, walk as much as I want. My nerves are steady. "I believe the first thing that did me any good and gave me an upward start, was Postum, and I use it altogether now instead of coffee." "There's a Reason."

Cleveland, O., Nov. 20.—Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who for years has been credited with the possession of a happy past yearday announced that he had lost everything and would be compelled to give up his beautiful home on Euclid avenue and move into smaller and less extensive quarters.

After Albert's death a question was put up to him whether he should resign his office as mayor and take up the management of Albert's estate. he decided to stay in Cleveland, and, he says, "fight privilege and special interest." The mayor says he never made a cent out of the street railways since he became mayor. He said that through it all he has been happy. He said that the mayor's office rich and that he left it poor; that he is not discouraged, has many friends and will be a candidate for mayor again at the expira of the present term.

A woman sat down in the shoe department of a New York store and bade the clerk hurry. "I left a friend at the lace counter," she said, "and I want to get my shoes fitted before she gets here." The clerk apparently appreciated the circumstances. He worked fast, and in an incredibly short time the woman had selected three satisfactory pairs of shoes. "I wonder why she was so anxious to get through before her friend came," remarked another customer. "For the same reason that makes every woman want to shop alone when buying shoes', laughed the clerk. 'She has rather a large foot, and she didn't want her friend to find out what number she wears. It is seldom that the purchasers of shoes shop in pairs. They may hang together when buying anything else in the store, but when it comes to shoes each woman strikes out for herself. The only exception is the woman who has an unusually small foot. She would take her whole list of acquaintances along when buying shoes if she could." LIKE THE ORDINARY MORTAL High Church Dignitary Had Name to Sign to Check. A comical story is told of the arch bishop of York, who is an ardent fisherman. Not long ago he betook him self for a few days to a little Yorkshire village, which boasted a good trout stream, and put up at a clean but modest hotel. His grace on his arrival informed the landlord who he was, and on leaving wrote a check for his bill and handed it to his host. The landlord closely scanned the signature and asked: "What name is this?" "W. Ebor," answered his grace. "Ah," said the landlord, as he poketed the check, "I thought you were telling me a falsehood when you told me you were the archbishop of York." The man evidently did not know that an archbishop has a name like an ordinary person. Pressed Clear Through. Children have a very fair idea of what constitutes justice, and decidedly object to being punished more than they think they deserve. A bright, lit the seven-year-old committed some trifling misdemeanor and was taken to task very seriously by her mother. After listening some time in silence, Mabel said: "What makes you keep talking to me so, mama?" "Because," replied the mother, "I want to impress it upon your mind so that you won't do it again." "Well," was the response, with the faintest quiver of grief in her voice, "I think I'm 'pressed clear through now.' What could the mother do but conclude that the lesson had been sufficiently 'pressed' for the time being, and send the little caprit about her play? Why Are We So Hard? The following motto was on the wall of a woman's bedroom: "Let us take hands and help each other to daw, because we are alive together." She is a bride of a year, and that is the sentiment with which she furnished her bedroom and tries to carry out in her everyday life. The hard blow we give with a word, the mean thought or harsh judgment recolls on ourselves. No woman who is hard and critical is happy. "Take hands and help each other to day" is the sure road to contentment and happiness. Got Even with Maid. Shirley Brooks, one time editor of Punch, was noted for his whimsical humor. "It annoys me," he said, one day, "if I am discoursefully treated at the threshold of a friend's door. I remember once calling on some one and the maid, in her, rudest manner told me he was not in, and shut the door in my face. I felt I must be revenged upon her somehow, so I returned after an interval of five minutes, rang the bell, and in my meekes manner mildly said: 'Did I say he was?" Marricd Chums. "Has he any friends?" asked the judge of a prisoner in the dock. "No, only a wife," was the matter of fact reply of the witness.

Charles G. Dawer Good Advice to Young Men in Business This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lead a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life —first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poorer; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them Devices of Defense What could be more perfect defense than the device of the mooren?
