Prof. Cook Heard From.

Prof. Cook lately wrote: Having
studied man and his relations fifty years,
and having read DR.. E. B. Foote's PLAIN
HOME TALK, say disinterestedly and en-
phatically that it is worth it's weight in
gold; nay, gold cannot measure its value
to humanity. 1t is such book as only
such healthy, .well-balanced, magniti-
cent brain can produce. DR.. Foote is
one of the few doctors who, IN his writ
ings aud practice, seek to cure, not kill;
to save and prolong life, not obstruct,
poison or destroy it.; to teach people the
structure, functions. facts, forces and re-
lations of the human brain and body,
teach them the significance of life and
how to make it healthy and happy also
how to make the most of it
Its information, instruction and ad-
vices in regard to parentage, marriage,
social and sexual functions and relations;
it's facts and laws of mental, magnetic
and temperamental adaptation in mar
rage and parentage that children may be
healthy, happy and viable, etc, etc,
make it more valuable to suffering hu-
manity than my poor words can express.
What vast amount of saving informa-
ton for the people; large book of 900
pages for only $780,

The Kaw Life Insurance Assoc citation,
Zumbrota. Minnesota, since their re-
organization under the law Of Minnesota
recently enacted covering co operative or
Assessment Life Insurance Associations,
the officers have been taxed to their ut
most to take care of the applications and
letters of inquiry in relation to the new
plan. The basis of the Kaw, or in fact
any Life Insurance Association permitted
to do business in this state since the new
law came in force, cannot he questioned by
any person of ordinary intelligence. The
Kaw had to submit their plan, securities.
&c, to the Attorney General and Com
missioner of Insurance of Minnesota for
their approval and certificate of authority
to do business, and are under their super
vision. subject to their investigation at
any time they see fit or deem it necessary

ing policy holders to make deposit OF
an amount equal to one per cent. of the

years, to he known as the reserve or
guarantee fund, is a grand feature for
those who are faithful and hold fast, but

to the amount named in policy, the
amount of their reserve deposit, also their

above features, their grip cable, the joint
feature, taking man and wife, or any two
relatives, under the same policy, the sur
vivor receiving full amount of policy, has
given the Kaw prestige and business I'M
precedented in the history of Insurance,
and with an outlook for marked in
crease over the past, especially in this
state The officers and board Of directors
are men of integrity and energy, most of
them men of means. The fact that the
name of Rev. w. c.. Rice, State Dairy
Commissioner, appears as President of
the Kaw Life Association, is sufficient
guarantee that the management will be
honorable, energetic, and to the satisfac-
ton of the Insurance public.

the shadows of eve. shall not rest upon the
mounds Of single fallen comrade that does
not bear the floral token of remembrance
and love. 1t is desired that each member of

be taken to secure the presence and aid of the

All, let US unite in this sacred duty. Let the
choicest, fairest and most fragrant flowers be
culled, and fashioned with cross and crown,
dropping here and there, like dew, tear for
the dead. We lift once more the curtain that
hides the past, and see our fallen martyrs die
for liberty. They gave their lives q cheerful
sacrifice: Many sleep In graves marked "Un-
known" but the loving hearts and eager
hands of a grateful people will cast flowers
upon the soft greensward that covers their
dust. By command of A. E. CHRISTIE,

Under this caption an old physician
writes to Cincinnati Medical Journal,
that IN view of the fact that people living
at distance from cities are frequently
obliged to resort to cough mixtures al
ready put up for use, they should pro-
vide themselves with only such remedies
as are known to be free from opiates,
poisons and narcotics; thus avoiding not
only danger, but even fatal results. BE
