Keep Your Top Cool.

1t is reported of Artemus Ward
that he once offered his flask of whis-
ky to the driver of the stage on the
top of which he was riding through g
mountainous section. The stage driv-
er refused the flask in most decided
tones. Said he: II don't drink;
won't drink; don't like to see any
body else drink. 1 am of the opinion
of those mountains; keep your top
cool. They've got snow and I've got
brains that's all the difference"
There's a great deal of wisdom in
his remark: "Keep your top COOL"
Without a sound brain man is not
much use to the world. Alcohol,
whether in beer, cider, wine, brandy,
or whisky, is foe of the brain and
when it gets there it inflames it and
renders it unfit for use. Be like the
honest stage driver aud resolve to
"keep your top cool."-Little Folks

THE BOOK TRUST.
Ca adidate McChesneY Writes a
Few Pertinent Lines
In Regard to the RObberies Com.
s5" mltted By 1t.

Fl. V. McChesney, editor of the
Livingston Banner and candidate for
State Superintendent of Public In.
struction, is an avowed enemy of the
book trust, as witness what he has to
say in a recent issue OF his paper:
"The Book Trust people are scared.
They are flooding the mails with cir
culars opposing all kinds of magma
ry bills that have never been intro.
duced into the legislature, reports of
committees, comparative schedules Of
prices in different States, etc. The
latest literature" they have been
sending gratis to the Kentucky De-
mocracy is q comparison of prices
paid for school books in Indiana and
Kentucky. They attempt TO trap the
unwary, giving net totals, making q
difference of 9 cents per year to the
child, but it SO happens that their
met" price for Indiana is the actual
cost of the book to the child, while
their "net" price for Kentucky is the
cost to the book dealer; 80 the real
difference, taking the figures of the
book trust itself, is not 8 cents per
year, but little more than 80 cents.
Multiplying 29,by 100000, the num-
Der of school children in Kentucky,
gives over 100000. This is rather a
neat sum for Kentucky to pay each
year more than her neighbor, Indi-
ana, pays for books. And this is
taken from figures sent out by the
book trust. The trust by sending out
such quantities of literature" seems
to be inviting fight. Well, it will
get it. The country press is loaded
to the muzzle, and is "spiliu' for a
fight" There be lots of things yet to
tell. Some inside history of the book
trust lobby during the late Legislature
might be interesting some of these
days"

Cool Baths For Catarrh-

A physician advises cool sponge
baths twice week in winter, and Oft
ener in summer, for the cure of the
common "children's catarrh." The
baths should be given in a warm
room, and be followed by friction by
rubbing to produce a glow. If they
are not followed by a chilly feeling or
headache, the reaction has been
prompt and beneficial. The baths
should be begun with warm water,
changing gradually in succeeding
baths to tepid, then cool water. 1t is
well to begin this treatment in tie
spring, summer or early autumn,
rather than in midwinter.
