How to Prevent Pneumonia,

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
mOnia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when SO many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts any
tendency of cold or la grippe to re-
suit in that dangerous disease. 1t is
the best remedy in the world for bad
colds and la grippe. Every bottle war;
ranted. For sale by T. L. Steib & Co.

Prosperity.

A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Luck is but d
small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good Judgment make the foundation
upon which man builds well. The
first start in life of many of our grea,
men has been upon farm. OppOrtu-
mites are as good at present as they
have been in the past. Fine hard
wood farming lands in northern Wis
consin adjacent to the Wisconsin Cen
trail Lines are still to be had at very
reasonable figures and on easy terms.

DEEP SEA LIFE,
Submarine Animals Have Been Ad-
tusted to the Pressure of
the Water.

When marine life began to command
notice, the question of the depth to
which life could extend divided scien-
tihc thought into warning camps.
About 1910 it was generally believed
that the bathymetrical limit was about
300 fathoms, and some strange ideas
were current as to the physical condi-
ton of the water when under a pres
sure such as depth of two miles would
produce. 1t was thought that skele-
tons of drowned men or even heavy
cannon and the wedges of gold" that
popular imagination places in the sea,
f1oated at certain levels, beneath which
is water so compressed as to be impene-
trable. In fact, says the North Ameri-
can Review, water is almost incompres-

sible, and the weight of cubic inch of
it at the depth of mile is very little
more than at the surface, but it was
assumed that no living being could
survive pressure which at 1000 faith
oms is about a ton to the square
inch. We ourselves live under a pres
sure of about Is pounds to the square
inch and are unaware of it. Indeed,
we sometimes waken on a morning
when the barometer has risen, say, half
an inch during the night, and conse-
quently find ourselves sustaining an
increased pressure of several tons, not
only without suffering, but with pos
tive feeling of buoyancy and good spir,
its. On the other hand, if the tremen-
dous pressure under which we live be
relieved as by surgical cup" severe
injury may follow. Aeronauts suffer
from this cause and marine animals

quito can be successfully accom-
plished."
An exchange, in discussing the mat
ter, says:
Scientific investigation has disclosed
the fact that a few grains of perman-
ganate of potash will destroy all the
embryo mosquitoes in very large area
of mosquito swamp. At two cents an
acre all the mosquitoes can be killed off
for space of 80 days. and as the breed
ing time is but two months, four cents
will assure protection for the entire
year. This places it within the posi-
bility of state. and certainly a city,
to entirely rid itself of great nuis-
ance."
April and May are the two months in
which the mosquito breeds. They are
purely local in their habits. and not
migratory, as some suppose, and they
seldom move more than a hundred feet
from the place of their birth. Hence

Mr.. Bailey says: THE letters, before

half ounce or less; but afterward this
was reduced to $3.50 for each letter
not exceeding one-half ounce, this
being in addition to the regular United
States postage. Specially made light
weight paper was generally used to
reduce the expense. Special editions
of the eastern newspapers were print
ed on tissue-paper to enable them to
reach subscribers on the Pacific coast.
This, however, was more as an sd-
vertisement, there being little demand
for them at their necessarily large
price"

An American Railroad in China.

Moneyed men from the United States

railroad from Hongkong to Han Kow,

While railroads are necessary to a ma
tion's prosperity, health is still more
necessary. A sick man can't make
money If there a thousand railroads.
One of the reasons why America is so
progressive is the fact that in every drug
store is sold Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
