WEEDS
Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
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
Scott's 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 sec it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott's Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better: vou will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump
tion you can't 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.
Scott's Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
We will send you

sion free. ,

The go'd roads movement is begin
ning to assumo definite form. The agi
tation has extended from Florida to
Maine, from tho Atlantic to tho Pa
cific, and people generally aro awaken
ing to tho necessity of establishing
public highways in a pormanont and
substantial manner. Tho time has
como when tho pooplo of tho rural
districts have a right to domand that
thoir roads shall bo kept not only in a
passablo condition, but so that heavy
loads may bo hauled upon them. Just
why they havo been so long neglected
it is difficult to say. It is sufficient to
say that we faco a condition and not a
theory.
Tho roads as a goneral thing are in
bad conditlou. Iu 1003 tho United
States government appropriated $32,
540,108 for river and harbor improve
ment, winch goes to the benefit of
commerce and largely to help cities
It has spent millions upon millions in
tho years post for the samo kind of
improvement aud not a dollar for the
construction of pormauent roads.
Many farms aro sold at half their
valuo simply becauso the farmor Is
nimble to market tho produco ho has
ralsod owing to tho bad condition of
tho wagon roads.
But Bomo will tell us that Jho coun
ty has oxpoudod largo amounts of
money iu tho past and still wo havo
nothing to show for such expenditure.
j Undoubtedly thoro is much truth in
I the statement, but wo aro inclined to
tho opinion that such expenditures
havo almost without oxceptiou been
muilo with tho Mea of public good in
vlow. But no mini or set of men can

What has becomo of tho hand gren

As a woman grows older her oyo
brows bogin to como out, and a man's
grow thicker und bushier.
Aftor all It's pretty ulco to watch a
woman got her Christmas presents
ready und send thorn away.
Hint to husband: Tho only way to
compliment a womun on her economy,
is to pay hor bills wi hout grumbling.
Speaking of borrowing, an Atchison

What has become of tho old fashion

are all mixed up with traps, rockaways,

We don't beliove there is anything
more pitiful than the hope of bettor

If you must go visiting, don't go to
Chicago. The people there are so
nervous that if anyone steps on a
match and it ignites, it causes a panic.
A real old fashioned woman lives in
Atchison. She recently was asked for
her recipe for nut cake, and refused it;
the recipe had "been in her family" for
years, and they had made it a rule
never to part with it.
An Atchison man lately whipped his
mother in-law, and thoro is talk that
he is to be glvon a testimonial. Tho
movement should be stopped; Topeka
will get hold of the incident, and make
another roar about Atchison.
The neighbors aro so anxious tQ, do
something when thore is a death that
if the bereaved family are not also be
roft of their senses they can get the
whole houso cleaned for nothing, in
tho prepara'ion for the funeral.
It is a late custom to make the en
gagoment short Three weeks is a long
enough, aceoadlng to some authori
ties There seems to be a disposition
to make the agony as short as possible,
the same reason prompting a bereft
family to shorten the time there is a
corpse in the house.
An Atchison woman dressed for a
dinner recently and wore a dress she
had not had on in two years. It re

' Rural Carriers' Salaries.
Thoro Is a well-nigh universal feel
ing that tho pay of rural freo de ivery
carriers is insufficient, nnd that con
gress should grant about what thoy
ask in tho way of additional salary.
Thoy rocoivo now WOO a year, out of
which thoy must provide and main
tain an outfit and keep from two to
four horses. Tho men have to be out
ovory day in oil kinds of weather. Con
sidering tho work, tho expenses in
volved and present cost of living, the
puy is inadequate
The carriers ask that tho pay shall
be WOO for tho first year, 8720 tho sec
ond and 8850 the third and thereafter.
There is some question whether the
pay should be thus graded or bo mado
the samo figure for all, but thore is no
question that it should bo consider
ably incroased.
It is true that an increase even of
91u0 will add largely to the expense of
the service. As thore are now about
20,000 carriers, it will add about 13,000,
000 to the annual cost of the rural
branch of tho postal service. It is
certain that within a few years the
number of carriers will be doubled.
If the salary should be incroased $250
a year, it would not bo very long till
salary allowance in this branch of the
service would be increased 110,000,000
annually.
It is well to put the facts plainly.
This is exactly what rural delivery
means. It is no longer a quostlon
whothor wo shall have rural free de
livery. That has been decided. No
intelligent person dreams that it can
bo ropoulod, or stopped where it 19,. or
proven ed from expanding.
Such being the fact, the sorvlco
must be maintained in an equal de
gree of efficiency to that of the other
branches of the department, and the
carriers, upon whom tho burden of
the work falls, should be paid propor
tionately to the standard of compen
sation of the other postal employes.

The resignation of Rer. Hauptmann
owing to the inadequacy of his stlary
to support bla family, the Ineffectual
efforts of the Methodists to build a
suitable church building in which to
bold their services, and the general
lack of finaces with which to carry on
church work in this city is a sad con
trast to the flourishing conditi in of the
saloons and gambling houses. ,
Red Cloud has a population of about
ICOO, has throe saloons and two gambl
log deni, and there soems to bo little
danger of either of thorn suspending
business fiom lack of financial support.
It is conservatively figured that thero
aro ton families in this city supported
by tho tralllc in liquor and tho 4,rnke
off" from the gambling tables.
On tho other hand, thoro aro five
roiident ministers of the gospel in this
city, four of whoni havo families to
support, nnd neither of them has an in
como sullicient to provido.in a suitable
manner for tho neods of himself and
family.
And now Rod Cloud is about to lose
ono of tho brightest and most popular
miuisteis who over occupied a pulpit
here, just becauso tho church pooplo
aro not as liberal with thoir purses as
are tho supporters and adherents of
the saloon and ganibliug den.
If the churches are to successfully
combat the growing evils in this town,
the members will have to "dig" down
in thoir pockets and bring up somo-
thing besides nickels and pennies to-
wara the support of the work.
