The ROAD Question Again.

McDonough Democrat:
II the democrats want 10 cover them
selves with immortal glory in this great
state OF IlIinois. they should see that the
present legislature does something on the
hard road problem. There is no more
crying evil 10 all the state. or in all the
politics or our state than the state of our
public highways. Some will say the ex
pense will be too high, we cannot stand
the taxation, they and their fathers lived
and prospered with mother earth for a
road. and the present generation should be
satisfied TO do the same. But such men
never would get ahead, If all we're like
that there would be no Chicago, no Den
yer. an undiscovered west. they would
not care to get further ahead, what was
good enough for their fathers, is good
enough for them. 1t is the present, the
rising generation that is in the field for
hard roads, they are the future voters,
and if the Illinois legislature is wise, i.
will see that its salvation lies in doing
what progressive young America wants
1t to do.
The task is large one, but democracy
is equal to it

WHY THEY SUCCEED.

The remarkable success which the
Scott Medical institute has achieved in
every department of its practice has cre-
ated good deal OF comment not only
among the people who are afflicted with
chronic diseases, but also among their
brother practitioners and the question is
often asked, What is the cause of this
large measure of sUccess?' The answer
may be stated in few words. In the
first place the PHYSICIANS of the Scott
Medical institute are skilled men.
In the second place they give their
whole time to their patients and to their
p ofession. When they are not in the
consultation room in attendance upon
their patients they sre discussing the pc
culisr features of individual cases. so that
they msy be ready to apply the result of
their deliberations in the consulting
room
This is the whole secret Of their suc-
cess.
With them the science of medicine is q
constant growth, and every case special
study. Not point that has any possible
bearing on the csse in hand is over
looked This is the reason that they sue
ceed where others fail
Chronic diseases require chronic treat
ment. Your trouble has been years COM
ing on you. 1t has invaded every part OF
your system, weakened snd reduced you.

Cattle are excited by red cause
that color is the Complementary one
to green, and as the eyes of cattle
are nearly all day long fixed upon
the green of the heritage on which
they feed, articles OF u red co.or
necessail impress their vision with
great y increa. ed intensity, with the
result of causing them TO be greatly
excited. Colors not only influence
cattle, but human beings also. On
this point some curious experiments
were reported from ltaly as To the
effect OF colOrs on the nerves of tho
sick and insane. In the hospital for
ins ane at Alessandria special rooms
are arran ed with red or blue paint
on the walls A violent patient is
brought su ldenly into blue room
and left to the effects of that color
on his nerves. One maniac was
cured in an hour; another was at
peace in his mind after passing day
in a room all violet. The REQ no m
is used for the commonest form Of
dementia melancholy usually ac-
cOmpanied by refusal to take food.
After three hours in tho red room q

For several days forest fires have
been raging in the vicinity of Ossineke,
Aipena county. In spite of every effort
the flames continued u creep up to-
ward the cledrIngs, and finally it swept
over about twenty farms, burning
houses, barns and crops. The lire left
nothing but blackened soil in its
tracks. The people were driven into
Ossineke village, and am pst one hun
dred persons have been rendered home
less. No lives were lost, but it is feared
that much stock is destroyed. Ben
Kern's saw mill, planning mill and
camps were destroyed.
The farmers burned out lose every
thing-houses, furniture, barns, hay,
grain, ETC., and their growing crops
will be greatly damaged. Fires are
also blazing in the woods south of Al

that the southwest portion of the ci ty
will be burned.
