A SYSTEM OF public works that has
much to commend it is that of 100
operative Contract" in vogue in New
Zealand. Under that system a public
work is divided into small sections by
the engineer in charge, and an esti-
mate is made Of its cost Each sec-
ton is then let out to a group of
workmen, who do the work under a
foreman of their own choosing, but
who receives no more than his fellows.
They obtain the full profit which
would otherwise go to professional
contractors, and they share the pay
ment equally.
Each worker is interested in seeing
that his companions do their full
amount Of work, and the sooner the
job is performed the greater the re-
turn for days work. If any tools
are needed which the men do not own,
the government supplies them at a
moderate rental. The adoption of
Of this system should provide a
method whereby direct employment
would be CONSTANT with a full re-
turn FIR the money expended, giving
to the community an advantage in the
economical execution Of public enter
prises equal to that enjoyed by private
employees -Revse,c of ReUie,cS

High Praise Of the Home.
Fredonia, N. Y,

DR.. O. L. Clemens of Fort Dodge,
Kan, made this Office pleasant call
one day this week, and from him we
learned much of the Kansas State
Soldiers Home located at that place,
and Of which DR.. Clemens is at pres
emit an inmate. The Doctor takes
great pride in speaking words Of
praise of "the Home. In his eulogy
Of it he says its management is in the
hands Of the most competant, pails-
taking, conservative men that can be
found; that no public institution of
the state has more efficient or able
supervision than does the Kansas
state home for the old soldiers. The
adjutaut, s. Ii. Thomas, is a man of
experience and we'll fitted for the
puties he has in charge. Nothing is
left undone by him that will add to
the comfort and happiness Of the in
mates and at the same time the in
terests of the state are at all times
carefully guarded. Upon the whole
DR.. Clemens says the institution is a
grand success and one of which the
state may we'll be proud.

Some weeks ago we stated that
most of the Trust package coffee had
deteriorAted. For fear that some Of
our readers may mlsunderstsnd our
meaning, we will simply state that
the trust package coffees, and those
who are engaged in q war fare, are
not those who have kept out of the
fight and kept their grades OF coffee
up to the standard. As we stated, Nc.
Laughlins xxx has always stood
IN the lead, and very superior in its
drinking qualities, to any other pack,
age coffee, and this is why it has the
leading sale throughout the west.
Since package coffees have been at
such low price, we have had a
number Of compliments in regard
to McLaughlin's coffee by people
who we're attracted towards package
coffee never having used any, BY
the extremely low price, and one
prominent grocer said: II am using
the xxx coffee, and think il is
fully equal to any coffee that is re-
tailed at rs or 26 cents q pound"
Now, when people express them
selves in this manner 1t simply goes
to show that good first class goods
are appreciated, and Mclaughlin &
Go. have 9 good reason to feel proud
over the result Of their efforts.

There Is Nothing So Good.

There is nothing just as good as Dr.
Kings New discovery for Consumption
Coughs and Colds, so demand it and do
not permit the dealer to sell you some
substitute. He will not claim there is
anything better, but in order to make
more profit he may claim something
else to be just as good. You want DR..
Kings New discovery because you
know it to be safe and reliable, and
guaranteed to do good or money re-
funded. For Coughs, Colds, Consump-
ton and for all affections of Throat,
Chest and Lungs, there is nothing so
good as is DR.. Kings New discovery.
