Believes in Advertising.

It appears that Uncle Sam is firm
believer in advertising. In his post
Office department he has lately had
issued a new style of postal money
order, which he desires to place on
the market and he has therefore sent
to his agents, the postmasters, a
printed article, covering not less than
column of space, extolling his new
tangled postal order, and requesting
that it be published in the local
papers; but he makes no provision
for payment of such publication.
Although we think a good deal of the
old gentleman. we do not love him
we'll enough to donate him whole
column of free advertising. No, sir,
old man, you cannot come any such
scheme on us.-Glenwood Herald.

Rev. willett Sues for Divorce.

The announcement in the Mime
apolis papers of Thursday that Rev,
George Willett, formerly of this
place, had sued for divorce from his
wife, Philena T. Willett, excited
considerable interest here. Rev.
Willett put in a plea of cruel and in
human treatment, and Rev. R R,
Atchinson, presiding elder of the dis
trict, appeared as witness. Grant
Van SAINT was his attorney and the
suit was brought before Judge Nc
Gee. of Minneapolis. Mrs. Willett
did not put in an appearance, but let
the suit go by default.
The people of Morris have only
the best of wishes for Rev. Willett
and are pleased to learn that he has
taken steps to make his domestic con-
ditions more congenial to himself.

tsok place, is repeated. One vaccina-
t on many times renders the person
immune for life.
The best medical opinion holds
hat vaccination should take placa : in
Infancy, and be repeated at puberty
knd some advise a third time at ma
burity, As often as it "works" it is
heeded and it will inconvenience
none if it fails to "work,"
All persons, never vaccinated, will
take small po1 but not at all times.
Also all unvaccinated persons never
having had small pox are susceptible
to vaccine virus reaction and the fail
ures to react are attributed either to
faulty virus or faulty methods of vac
cination.

ARE NOW Ir1MUNE.
Public School Children Need Have No
Fear of Small Pox, at Least.

1t is re-assuri ng to know that what
ever danger from dlphtheria may de-
velop in the schools of Morris, there
is at least one disease from which the
children are immune, and that is
small pox The public school child
rem are now all vaccinated, the opera
ton having been performed before
school opened or shortly afterwards.
The doctors here have been very
liberal in their charges, and in many
cases have asked prrcticelly nothing
for the work.
The latest method of putting up
the vaccine virus is in tiny tabules,
instead of on celluloid points. This
keeps the virus in liquid form until
applied.
The following facts regarding vac
cination are matters of record and
represent the best scientific judgment
of the present time.
Vaccination, while rendering an in
dividual practically immune to small
pox, does not render him absolutely
immune. He is more nearly absolute
ly immune the more recently he has
been vaccinated, the greater the num-
Der of times he has been vaccinated,
and the greater the number of points
at which the virus was introduced at
time of vaccination.
A vaccinated person who contracts
small pox always has milder form
of the disease than one never vaccin-
ated. Tue death rate is also much
smaller.
The number of years vaccination
renders one immune to small pox
varies with individuals, also depends
much on the perfection Of the vaccine
virus reaction and the number bf |
times vaccination, in which reactbn 7

ThoughC He Had Them.

The monotony of the game stories
related by returned hunters was this
week broken by the following little
incident. The decoy jug had been
frequently consulted by one member
of the company, when on walking
through the grass he saw snake
glide away from him. Startled, he
exclaimed "See the snake" but he
was even more startled when his
companions told him there was no
snake in sight. At this point he
thought he had them until his friends
assured him it was all a joke. Who
the parties are, however, has been
kept profound secret.

POPULAR LECTURE COURSE.
Under the Auspices of the n. E.
Epworth League.

The Epworth League of the M. E..
church is planning for a course of
lectures this winter similar to the
course given last year. The object of
the undertaking is not primarily to
raise money,Ibut rather to furnish to
the people of Morris an opportunity
to hear really good class of enter
tainments. The educative and up
lifting influences which flow from
hearing good lecture often last for
a lifetime, SO for undertaking to fun
nish such influences, the leaders OF
the Epworth League deserve the
highestspraise.
The lectures will begin sometime
in November, but it is hoped that
long before that time there will have
been sold 200 season tickets at SlOO
each. This small sum Will cover the
expenses of the course aud thus en-
sure its success.
Three entertainments OF the the
series will be lectures delivered by
Judge Ellison, the poet, John Tenn
pie Graves, and Rev. Tbos. McClary.
The first and second of these men
are of national reputation and the ex-
pense of bringing them here is very
great. More extended notice of them
will be given later. Rev. Thos. Nc
Clary is we'll known here and he will
be sure to draw a large house and
entertain them we'll. Another OF
the series will be an entertainment
hv BENJAMIN Chapin, entertainer and
impersonator, His evening will nc
doubt be very popular The series
will be concluded with home talent
entertainment. Plans for this are as
yet incomplete.
What is needed now is for every
one who has dollar to buy course
ticket, and he who hath not dollar
let him borrow, and buy.
