SOMETHING TO DEPEND ON.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones u Son, Cowden, Ill.,, in speaking
of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
LA Grippe. and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into nasty consumption. Hav-
ing Dr. King New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she
began to get better from first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound
and well. DR.. Kings New Discovery
for consumption, coughs and colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it.. At w. ii. Sheldon's drug store.

AMERIcAN WASTE on Foop.

A writer to the New York Herald
says; "Tve been pretty much over the
world in my time, and I've seen quite a
bit; but 1 know 1 shall astonish you
when l say that the thing which I'M
pressed me most is the economy of
food abroad and the waste of food at
home
Understand all this statement inn
plies Absolutely nothing is thrown
away or wasted in continental Europe.
And the economy Of food is more mark
ed in China, Japan and the Asiatic
countries. There is no doubt in my
mind that we in the United States
waste more food in year than is con-
sumed in France in the same time.
What a single New York servant girl
throws into the garbage barrel every
week would support dozen Chinese
families. And yet our people are al
ways complaining of hard times, and
are always making wry faces about
getting along in the world.
"This waste begins at the very foun-
dation Of our society and business, and
runs all the way up. The American
farmer is man who has burned Off
great tracts of valuable timber, worth
five times the land on which 1t grew. to
raise grain to burn for firewood. This
land today is but half-tilled, talk
ing the grain fields OF Germany and
other European countries into the COM
parison. Until very recently all the
refuse about mills and manufactures
was destroyed; now many Of them turn
their slabs into furniture, and their
sawdust into fuel. Again. as to food.
Anybody who has travelled much and
knows what sort of food one gets in
the South and West-anywhere outside
of the big Eastern cities-will appre-
ciate it when / say that at least one
half the food is wasted. This is part
ly through bad cookery. and partly
through mere wasteful management.
((All food not assimllated is wasted
worse than wasted, for 1t wears the
system out to no purpose) The COM
mon hotel and family cookery makes
assimilation practically impossible. So
much for what is eaten. That which is
actually thrown away would feed mill
lions. If it could be diverted into the
proper channels it would make human
suffering from want of food impossible
in this country, Moreover, the waste
would feed the INDECENT hungry of the
whole world There is something actu-
ally criminal in all this, But presume
1t can't be helped until the American
nature shall have undergone change"

From the Detroit Free Press.
She was rather fussy and evidently

the car in which she sat and leaned a
gun he was carrying against the door
she called out;
"oh, sir, won't you please point that
gun the other way?"
There isn't the slightest danger,
madam" he said; II am useu to guns"
"Well. I'm not, 1t would go off in a

The excitement was intense when the
proceedings began in the courtroom and
Manager Julian brought out his Wit

he stated had deprived Fitzsimmons Of
the purse. Australian Bill" Smith,
one OF Sharkey's trainers, was the first
witness. He detailed his work in con-
neotion with preparing Sharkey for the
ring and said that when the question
Of selecting referee was mooted in
Sharkey's training quarters he was
asked to suggest a referee. The witness
suggested Hiram Cook and Lynch then
asked him II he knew Cook well enough
ito talk business with him." After
wards the witness said Lynch charac-

RAILROAD RATES CUT.
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
Cause CONSERVATION.

Chicago. December 9.-The roads Of
the Transcontinental Passenger Asso-
citation are much worried over the re-
port of the action taken by the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern. 1t is
said they have put into effect a rate
of SIS from St. Paul to all North Pa
cific coast points for the benefit of new
settlers and members of their families
going to join them in the West. The
S25 rate cuts the regular tariff and has
not been authorized by the Transeon-
tinental Association. The rate affects
all transcontlnental rates as well as
those directly involved. 1t is claimed
the rate has been made as the result OF
the work of the Washington immigra-
tion association, which had been repre-
senting to the roads that, If 1t was
granted, 1t would bring an increase OF
immigrants to the North Pacific coast
after the beginning of the year. Nelth-
