No man is better known in the State
of Nebraska than Mr.. Carl T. Roberts,
contractor and mason. A typical Ameri-
can-active, shrewd and full of business
sagacity: He is not only provider for
his family, but protector. In recent
letter to DR.. Hartman he writes, among
other things, as follows:
Our boy, James, had the membranous

our boy, Charlie, was also subject to at

we have used nineteen bottles of Peruna,
and have thus saved $500 in doctors

The Sick Child.

OF the minor details of the sickroom.
that which most impresses the unframed
observer is the fashion in which the
nurse gives drink to the patient who
must be kept in recumbent position.
The ordinary lay attendant, whose sole
idea of the operation is to lift the sick
person to a half or at least quarter sit
ting posture, looks on in wonder and
admiration while the nurse slips her
hand under the sick child's head, in
clines it ever so slightly forward, and
holds the full glass to his lips, In cases
Of heart weakness, where the safety of
him fiat on his back, such knack in
giving nourishment is Indispensable.
More difficult to acquire than this is
the trick Of changing the sheet on a
bed without distressing the patient. In
order to do this, the soiled sheet is loos-
ened at one side of the bed, and folded
IN long, compact roll close to the pa
tient. The clean sheet is tucked in or
pinned down in place of that which has
been removed, and after being drawn
over the uncovered part of the mattress,
is also folded in q roll close to the rolled
soiled sheets. The child has been turned
on his side, the rolled sheets against his
back. He is now turned on his other
side, both sheets drawn from under him.
the sOiled one whisked off the bed. and
the clean covering fastened down in it's
place. When the patient is very ill he
may be lifted by two nurses, while a
third draws out the sheets. --Harper's

A kL0NDIKE SCENE.
Congress to Control the Trusts.

John J. Jenkins, author Of the new
trust bill now before Congress, writes as
follows in the National Magazine:
IF the power is given, Congress can
act and should act promptly. There is
nothing to prevent the Legislature Of ev-
cry state being called into extra session
for the purpose of ratifying an amend
ment of this kind, and in less than one
year every corporation would be under
the control of Congress. Then if there
is any oppression on the part of any of
these gigantic corporations, they can be
easily controlled by broad and just legis-
lation, so as to compel them to respect
the rights of others, while endeavoring to
enhance their Own interests. 1t is use
less to talk about the various states con-
trolling these corporations; they can do
it if they want to, but in many cases it
would require an amendment to their
constitutions, and in all cases uniformity
of action, and this would take up much
more time than it will to pass an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States.
ITO be effective, legislation must I've
uniform, and this cannot be expected
from forty-fiye states"

to build chicken coop the other morn

then stood on it and nailed up the side

found that he had left no place by which

hardly large enough for man. The

to pry off any of the boards with his
After the neighbor who heard his cries
had finished laughing he demolished a
part of the coop and the builder was set

was used in family. 1t has cured my
nervousness, with which I had been at

1t is fact of ever-increasing astonish-

and provident people will, for the neg
lect of so simple precaution as to have
a bottle Of Peruna at hand, bring upon
themselves the needless suffering and
foolish expense that a practitioner of
medicine is forced to witness every day.

European markets have been seized with

scared to the skies, and the ruthless

temporary measure to prohibit the ex-
portation of pheasant skins. The re-

sued. This expedient will serve until
rules can be drawn enforcing closed

"The American is WISE" writes Ed
ward Box, in the Ladies' Home Journal,
who going to Paris this year spends
enough time in the French capital to see
the exposition, and the beauties and spots
OF fragrant memories which the city un-
questlonably possesses, but who then
leaves Paris behind and goes into those
quaint, romantic and gone-to-sleep old
places with which France abounds-in
the BalZac country, for example, where
French life is still lived in the old, de-
llghtful way. This is the secret of profit
able travel anywhere; to go about with
the mind open and receptive; to judge
people from the conditions which sur
round them; to get an impression of
nation not from the life which floats on
the surface of its great centers, but from
ITS own people living in the heart Of
their own lands, in their own homes and
in their own way. Thus we will see the
real people of the country wherein we
travel. But we cannot truly judge the
English from what we see in London or
the French from the boulevards and
cafes of Paris, any more than a foreign
er can judge the entire population of
America merely from the people he sees
in the city of New York"
