Simple Remedy That Anyone Can Prepare at Home. Most people are more or less subject to coughs and colds. A simple remedy that will break up a cold quickly and cure any cough that is curable is made by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine com pound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. You can get these In any good drug store and easily mix them in a large bottle. The mixture is highly recommended by the Leach Chemical Co. of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure for dispensing. A Week of the Family. On Monday they skirmished on poker And ethics of losing the rent; On Tuesday they locked horns on shipping And what on a hat should be spent. On Wednesday they squabbled on clothing, The button he missed from his shirt; On Thursday they fought about cleaning aiiu ueeuiess remuvai oi ain. On Friday they fell out on whether She cooked as his mother once did; On Saturday disagreed fiercely On whether to wallop their "kid.” On Sunday they “scrapped” on religion, Churchgoing and fallen estate, Election and predestination. And how much to put in the plate. Which proves that if women had suffrage. That boon some so ardently seek, To quarrel on politics surely Would need an eighth day in the week. —McLandburgh Wilson in N. Y. Sun. How’s This?

Miss Wiser — Then why don’t you marry a clubman? The Lady of the White House. In commuting upon Mrs. Taft's recent 111 health, the Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Star regrets the possi bility that this “dominantly endowed lady regnant” should be forced to retire throughout the social season. We read further: Mrs. Taft’s sustained ill health is a rmKHrt ..n1nn.lt,-. V,... 1. on the very threshhold of a social admin istration that promised the distinction that characterized the regime of Dolly Madison and Mrs. Cleveland, a ruthless stroke of fate. Washington is one great regret. Yet there is many a wiseac re here who shakes his head—though it is usually a “her” head—and says, “I told you so.” Mrs. Taft was burning the candle at both ends. Ambitious, dominant, rich in resources, eager to make her reign a record breaker, the lovely lady, unmindful of physical limitations, has been a reck less spendthrift In gray matter and nerve fiber. The recKoning had to come. After all, a woman Is but a human being, even though she be a president's "wife. Mrs. Taft’s physicians promise a complete re I establishment of her health eventually. But meanwhile court circles are in a dilemma for a leader right away. Mrs. Taft’s amiable predecessor, content with less prestige and glory, basked hap piest tn the light reflected from her all consuming husband. Mrs. Roosevelt, un like Mrs. Taft, had no ambition to estab lish her own suit personally. She kept her own individuality in abeyance. Mr. Roose velt could run things. Her official Job was only to smile and smile an i be “Johnny on the spot” when ever she was needed. Hence, through all the seven years of her husband’s presi dential incumbency she was never absent from his side on any state occasion. She never squandered her vitality. Mrs. Taft entered upon her reign by be stowing minute personal attention upon every mlnutla of domestic, official and social life, creating havoc and innovations in many departments. The personnel of the laundry, the livery of her Servants, the laying out of parks and pleasure drives for the benefit of the public—end less other details, all came under the eager supervision of this capable woman. She never relaxed. She inspired her hus band to be presiuent, and as presidential consort her position has been authority tive and active and full of initiative. To Read the Barometer. From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. Every farmer ought to have a ba rometer, and he should also regularly get a copy of the daily weather map with all expedition possible. He might then do a practical bit of weather fore casting on his own hook, and probably find the result securely on the right side of the ledger. For instance, he might know’ of the approaching storm in time to get his hay in. The variations of the barometer must not be interpreted too literally, but with reference to the prevailing wdnds, each different wind having some pe culiar rules, and the wind rules of dif ferent localities being different. For this locality, the wreather service lays down these rules: "When the wind sets in from points between south and southeast and the barometer falls steadily a storm is approaching from 'the wTest or northwest, and its center will pass near or north of the observer w’ithin 12 to 24 hours with wind shift ing to northw’est by way of southwest and west. When the wind sets in from points between east and northeast and the barometer falls steadily a storm is approaching from the south or south wTest, and its center will pass near or to the south or east of the observer within 12 or 24 hours with wind shifting to northw’est. by way of north. The rapidity of the storm’s approach and its intensity will be indicated by the rate and the amount of the fall in the barometer.” Marse Henry a Pirate. From the National Monthly. "‘Yes, Colonel Watterson has music In his soul.” said one of his life long friends as the fame of the illustrious Louisville editor came up for discussion. “He is especially fond of the Jingling, rollicking lines of Gilbert and Sullivan operas, and when pleased hums them with delight. “That trait nearly severed a long friendship a few months ago. The col onel with four friends was having a friendly little game and the cards were running very strongly In the colonel's favor. Pot after pot was raked In, and a hot tempered chap was Invariably the victim—the last one to ‘stay In’ and buck the wonderful run of Watterson’a luck. “Finally a poodle was played. Three times In succession the colonel broke the pot, got a raise, sweetened matters to fine proportions and won. “He was pleased: the celluloid was piled high before him, and his soul was attuned to harmony. Into his mind came the strains of the 'Pirates of Penzance,’ and by a strong mischance, he first hummed the air and then burst Into the boast of the ruler: 'I am a pirate king.' " ‘I've known It for the last hour,’ snarled the loser, 'but as I was your guest 1 waH too polite to mention It.' ” Power of Plant Life. The power of the ordinary plalntaln leaf Is well Illustrated in an article In the Strand magazine by a writer who constructed a pitch floor as follows: The ground was scraped, and then a three-Inch layer of sand was spread over It, and on this sand a two-inch layer of soft roofing pitch was placed. This had been down for several weeks when we noticed one part of the pitch breaking open like a miniature vol cano. On examination we found some green shoots coming through the pitch. The shoots continued to grow In spite of the great heat caused by the sun shining on the black surface of the pitch. They finally assumed a flour ishing condition. It should be added that before laying the sand a sheet ol heavy tar paper covered the gTound 1 A Successful Campaign.

The Tear ISOS Han Shown nn In crease of Over Eighty Per Cent In American Settlement. Recent advices from Canada, our next door neighbor, the neighborly country across the boundary line, are that upwards of ninety thousand set tlers from the United States went into Western Canada during the past year, most of them for the purpose of tak ing up and settling upon the vacant lands, 160 acres of which are given free by the government, and lands ad joining held by railway and land com panies are selling at from nine to Af teen and twenty dollars per acre. Even if thirty or forty dollars per acre were paid, the price would then he low, as the lands produce wonderfully, and at these higher Agures there is a large interest on the money and labor in vested. The ninety thousand settlers of this year, followed about sixty thou sand last year, and for several years the Agures have been running into these large Agures. There must be a reason for it. It may be found in the single phrase, “They are satisAed." Nothing attracts people more than the success of others, and the news of this reaching other thousands causes them to investigate. The investigation in this case is always satisfactory. The snlendid land of Iowa, of Indiana ot Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wiscon sin, Michigan, Ohio and other states has risen to a high value, and it is worth every dollar asked for it. But there is not room now for all on these lands. With the ever increasing de mand for grain there comes the ever Increasing demand for land. Canada is the only country on the continent in a position to supply it. Land there that costs, say, $15 an acre, produces on a reasonable calculation twenty five bushels of wheat to the acre, or about $20. The most liberal calcula tion as to cost makes the cost to pro duce $7.50 per acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per acre. The $7.50 carries ; good wages for the farmer, and all j other conceivable contingencies. With I conditions like this, covering the en tire area of about 500,000 square miles, it Is readily understood why 90,000 Americans should follow the 60,000 last year. Canadian government agen cies at different points in the Union are always ready to give information regarding the free homestead lands, ready to advise the settler as to the districts which would suit him best. Thackery as a Hero. From the London Saturday Review. No man ever enjoyed his fame more than Thackeray; but no man's head was ever less turned than his. The story is told that Charlotte Bronte, sitting opposite him at dinner, regarded him for a long time CtnAw&tr office 2ae6tum/ When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn’t any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ? Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Fitchvillo, Ohio.—“My daughter was all run down, suffered from pains in her side, head and limbs, and could walk hut a short distance at a time. She came very near having nervous prostration, had begun to cough a good deal, and seemed melancholy by spells. She tried two doctors but got little help. Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, Blood Puriiier and Liver Pills she has im proved so much that she feels and looks like another girl.”— Mrs. C. Cole, Fitchville, Ohio. Irasburg, Vermont. — “I feel it my duty to say a few words in praise of your medicine. When I began taking it I had been very sick with kidney and bladder trou bles and nervous prostration. I am now taking the sixth bot tle of Lydia E. l’inkham’s Vegetable Compound and find myself greatly improved. My friends who call to see me have noticed a great change.”—Mrs. A. H. Sanborn, Irasburg, Vermont. We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful —or that either of these women were paid in any way for their testimonials, or that the letters are published witnout their permission, or that the original letter from each did not come to us entirely unsolicited. What more proof can any one ask ? For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women IV to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to healtli free of charge.
