Medical writers cl, i'm that the successful
remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irri-
tating, easy of application, ard one that
will reach the remote sores and ulcerated
surfaces. The history of the efforts 10

one remedy has completely met these cob.
ditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm.
This safe and pleasant remedy has mas
tered catarrh as nothing else has ever done,
and both physicians and patients freely con-
cede this fact. Our druggists keep it.

Child Labor in Factories.

Factory life stunts the whole devel
opment of children. Ambition is killed,
even if the physical vigor is not de
stroyed; there are foul companions, if
not foul air; the imaginative and in
ventive faculties, all powers that lift
mankind, are dwarfed. Be 1t remem-
bered that these crimes against the
children of the working class are COM
mitted by the employing class, with no
extenuating circumstances; for while
they coin gold out of the life blood of
toiling children, a million adults I'M
employed seek in vain for work.
The trades unions. the establishment
of the bureau of labor statistics, wo-
mems unions-all have helped eff
GENTLY IN arousing and interesting the
people on this question. Now about
one third Of our states have laws di-
rectly upon child labor. Nearly all of
these have inspectors. who enforce OBJ
servance of the law. Recently women
inspectors have proved most efficient
workers. California seems to be the
state most lax in the matter.-Jenuie

Experiments in Irrigation.

Experiments in Irrigation.
It is announced that the Regents of
our State Agricultural college have
determined to establish two sub-sta-
tons for the purpose of experimenting
in irrigation. 1t is realized. when the
subject OF practically irrigating Kan
sas lands is considered. that good
many questions arise for which. in all
the literature on subject older than
history. there is no answer. Indeed.
so much needs determining, that the
moderate allowance which can be
spared from the experimental funds of
the college will be found sufficient for
only part of the work which is so
pressingly needed. One of the SUBJ
stations is to be located at point in
Finney county to be selected by Regent
Kelley, and the other is to be located in
Decatur county at a point to be selected
by Regent Streets
The interest in irrigation manifested
in all parts of the state certainly war
rents the college authorities i'm their
action. and if Major Powell's predic-
ton, that the eventual field of greatest
irrigation development in the state
will be the eastern half. proves correct,
it is not unlikely that the college will
one day be asked to experiment in
other than the far western counties.
Not the least of the advantages to be
derived from entrusting this work to
the Agricultural college is the GER
tainty of reliability of reports of what
is done and inst estimates of the COM
parative merits of the appliances and
methods employed. Doubtless the
work will be entrusted to entirely COM
petent hands. so that whatever money
is expended will be made to yield the
greatest possible amount of valuable
observation-disclosures Farmer.

A PHILADELPHIA man last SUNNI

A PHILADELPHIA man last summer
signed contract with the owner of a
restaurant to work three years at sal
airy of one cent for the first month and
double the amount every month there
after The owner thought the man a
fool to work as waiter for that amount.
But when he had worked four months
and received eight cents he told the
owner how much it would amount to
when the three years had elapsed, so
the owner, realizing the consequences,
wanted to dispose of him, but the
waiter threatened to bring suit against
him, so the owner settled all argu-
ments by paying $4,000. Had the
contract been carried out the waiter
would have received $343. 597 1888. 6S
