PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
The human mind is so constituted
that it finds deeper interest in what it
knows most about than in what is new
A discovery may arouse tho curiosity or
appeal to tho intelligence but the old
truths stir tho heart strings The In
dian marvels not atlhe works of science
Tho now civilized city dweller too fre
quently sees naught wonderful in the
works of nature
We who are of the west will read
with more than ordinary interest a little
book that has recently como from tho
press The Edge of Things by Elia W
Peattie Tho book has for us indeed a
double interest for not only is it a west
ern tale but it was written by a woman
who was once a Nebraskan a fact that
adds not a little to our pleasure in its
perusal It is rather a series of sketches
than a novelJn which is told the story
of the Californian shepherds It is a
tale of men exiled melancholy as
such tales must needs be but told with
a sweet sympathy such sympathy as
women only feel A man would not
have written as Mrs Peattie wrote be
cause no man is gifted with insight
the natural attribute of women into
the souls of things A man may see
but a woman not only sees but feels
Pathetic the story is yet brightened oc
casionally with the rustle of womans
garments enlivened from time to time
by accounts of thrilling adventures a
good wholesome story clean and pure
as the desert air
It is unfortunate that all readers may
not know the authors of the books they
read All good authors put much of
themselves into their work large part of
which is lost to the reader who does not
know his author The deprivation is
the greater in the case of Mrs Peatties
stories which are instinct with their
authors charming personality
-The Edge of Things how suggestive
the title to such as we for are not we
ourselves children of the desert and do
we n6t live or think we do at times on
the edge of things
Plea for Diversified Farming
Sugar beets have become an estab
lished crop with the farmers in the vi
cinity of McCook the acreage having
increased every year since they were first
introduced there five years ago Many
farmers have made a net earning of over
20 an acre from their beets this year
which was not as favorable as last The
crop is surer of making returns than any
other In some sections the sugar beet
is raised to feed cattle some cattle hav
ing been fattened on them exclusively
In endeavoring to establish diversified
farming why do not some Franklin
county farmers experiment with a few
acres of sugar beets If enough wil
agree to make the experiment the sugar
factory will supply the seed and give di
rections throughout the season concern
ing cultivation etc Franklin Free

Climatic Cures
The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn The poor patient too can
do much better at home by proper at
tention to food digestion and a regular
use of German Syrup Free expectora
tion in the morning is made certain by
German Syrup so is a good nights rest
and tho absence of that weakening
cough and debilitating night cough
sweat Restless nights and the exhaus
tion due to coughing the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive can
be prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup liberally and regularly
Should you be able to go to a warmer
clime3ou will find that of the thousands
of consumptives the few who are bene
fited and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup Trial bottles 25c

WEEDS
Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs Like other weeds its
easily destroyed while young
when old sometimes im
possible
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear
The best lung fertilizer is
Scotts Emulsion Salt pork
is good too but it is very hard
to digest
The time to treat consump
tion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself
Others see it you wont
Dont wait until you cant
deceive yourself any longer
Begin with the first thought
to take Scotts Emulsion If
it isnt really consumption so
much the better you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment If it is consump
tion you cant expect to be
cured at once but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win
Scotts Emulsion fresh air
rest all you can eat all you
can thats the treatment and
thats the best treatment
We will send you
a little of the Emul
sion free
Be sure that this picture in
the form of a label is on the
wrapper of eery bottle oi
