How 1t Was Stamped Out. After the
Modern Treatment Had Failed.
Thirty-three cases of diphtheria were
reported at Winneconne. Wisconsin.
and the schools were closed.
OF the thirty-three cases twelve were
subjected to so-called modern treat
ment; four of the twelve thus treated
died, death rate of 33 1-3 per cent.
Mr.. ]. Ulrich, a resident of Winne-
come, had observed the marvellous
success Muco-Solvent had met with and
In his enthusiastic way induced many
mothers to use 1t. His own family was
one Of the first infected, Muco-Solvent
being used to the exclusion of every
thing else with splendid results.
Compared with other treatments, its
success was SO very pronounced, that
Muco-Solvent was generally adopted.
with the result that by Its use alone
the other twenty-five cases recovered,
not one proving fatal where Muco-Sol-
vent was depended on.
We recommend Its presence in every
home, for all throat troubles. In avert
ing developments of diphtheria. scarlet
fever and Group, it is unequalled.

AS she waits in the wings for the

The spell of glance and the charm OF

Belong to tho rollicksome gaiety
girl.
A laugh and a smile her charms en-
nance.
At home the heart of the dazzling

Always gay where the footlishts
shine.
Always bright. like the rosy wine;
Winning the world with her simple
grace,
Shadows fly from her sunny face.
And no heart beats in the daily whirl
AS light as the heart Of the gaiety girl.
Here and there like bird that wings
Its flight in many lands and sings;
Now in the realm of the drifting

Now in the South where the orange

Holding hearts in her gleesome thrall.
Nightly winning the smiles Of all;
Beautiful ever in pose and twirl.
The worlds less dark for the gaiety

"Only gaiety grill" you say,
With a toss of the head as you turn

And you never think meath the starry

How beats her heart for mother and

How soft and gentle her hands can be.
With heart as white as the foam OF

And Love doth weave mid the season S

Miss Janet Jennings, the clever

Tribune, writes to us that if the Cuban
matter is settled without war. Con-
gress will be anxious to adjourn at
once. The friends of annexation will
make an effort to pass the joint reso-
luton, but may not succeed in getting
the subject before the Senate and
House. Should they fail, the matter
will be brought up at the next meeting
Of Congress in December. Miss Jen-
nings speaks of the good impression
made by the visit of President and
Mrs Dole. 1t convinced some people
that this Government was not compos-
ed of thieves and pirates as the Ma
ton asserts it is. 1t was sad day
for Extremists, in the States, repre-
scented by the Nation, that Nh. Dole did
not appear in a black flannel shirt,
with belt full of cartridges, a brace
of pistols very apparent, and couple
of knives in his boot legs. The Ma
ton, while previously condemning
yellow journalism" in general, has
furnished an enormous quantity of it
in reference to Hawaii If yellow
journalism means a conscientious re-
fusal to deal with facts, the Nation
has, in our matters, put itself at the
head Of this colored literature. Mr..
Nordhoff knocked it off its base, in
the beginning, and it never has had
the courage of the New York Herald to
put itself in line with the truth. Mr..
Godkin might compose an interesting
