The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was a frightflil railroad collis-
ion, with terrible loss of life. The whole
country was appalled, by that accident
There is doubtless a far greater loss Of
life occurring every day, in various sec
tions of the country, for which the only
excuse is,-ft the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms These cases are
not the subjects Of special inquest OF the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
OF life to ignorance.
1t has been the experience of Dr. r. ".
Pierce and his staff Of assistant physi-
clans, that ninety eight out of every
hundred persons submitting to their
treatment can be cured. People given
up BY the local physicians, weak etna-
ciated, with stubborn coughs and bleed
ing lungs have been absolutely cured by
the use Of DR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Sick people are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter free. All letters are
held as strictly private and treated as sa-
credly confidential. Answers are mailed
in plain envelopes without any printing
on them.

PAYMENT Of Taxes,

This is the season when taxes are
being paid, and a great many people
annually at this time ma re inquiries
at the court house and elsewhere as to
the laws governing the collection OF
taxes. For their convenience the fol-
lowing extracts from the tax laws have
been prepared:
All taxes become delinquent on the
first Monday in January of each year,
both real and personal.
Real estate taxes may be paid in two
equal installments or in lump. at the
option of the tax payer.
limo part of the tax is paid penalty
of ten per cent attaches June l.
The first half may be paid before May
81. and the penalty thus evaded. The
second half may be paid before Oct,
81, and if it is not penalty OF 10 per
cent attaches to it Nov. l.
Unpaid taxes become delinquent on
the first Monday in January next,
when an additional penalty OF 5 per
cent is added.

How and When to Advertise.

| The Philadelphia Record: Advertise
ing is not a minor detail of business
nor may it be attended to perfunctorily
at odd moments. On the contrary, il
is of the utmost Importance, and inge.
nuity and attention are necessary in
the composition and placing of every
business announcement
The sad" is the merchants address
to the public and as such it should be
prepared.
Advertisements must not be slurred
in the process of preparation. AS a
prominent writer says. "advertise-
ments are statements Of facts, made
attractive" Consequently the matter
in them must be striking to the town,
convincing to the reason and always
fresh in appearance. The shrewd ad-
vertiser's foremost desire is to attract
notice by an attention-compelling ar
rangement of ideas and type. Next
what he has to say must be said with
eloquence and convincing logic. The
matter of the merchants address must
be changed frequently, else it becomes
tiresome by reiterations and turns a.
side the attention which it is it's prov
ince to attract. Freshness in an ad-
vertlsement is as necessary as in the
goods offered for sale.
Above all, advertising must be con-
tinuous. The great secret of success
in business lies not in advertising
when everybody wants to buy, but in
inducing the public to purchase when
they are less willing. The tactless
business man quits advertising at the
close of an unusually brisk buis ness
period, such as the Christmas holt
days; but the experienced merchant |
does not interrupt the continuity of his
address to the public, knowing that
with the close Of the active purchasing
season the attraction of the customers
becomes more difficult. He advertise
then with as much vigor as during the
rush, and he Igets the patron
age the lack Of which the non-ad-
vertiser mourns. The merchant who
achieves success advertises extensive
ly, continuously and with discrimina-

FIRST IN THE WORLD.
We Lead the Nations in the Drink
ing Of Coffee.

We are the greatest coffee drinkers
in the world. In 1897 we used 637, 000,-
900 pounds of coffee. This was TO-
OOO,O pounds more than was con-
sumed by all the combined countries
in Europe. We have increased our
consumption of coffee during the past
year at the rate of more than a pound
per person, and we now use fully fifty
pounds annually for each person in
the United States. ~.
The amount spent for this coffee is
enormous. During the last ten years
we have paid out 1914, 900, coo or $751;.
100000 per annum for coffee alone.
The largest part of this money has
been paid to Brazil. But it is safe to
say that there is good reason behind
this enormous consumption of coffee,
and the revolution which has taken
place in the coffee trade of the United
States during the last twenty years is
an excellent illustration of the princi-
pie that Americans and American skill
can bring prices to SO low point that
the greatest Injuries may be enjoyed
by the people of this country at the
smallest cost. Thirty years ago there
was not one pound OF roasted coffee
sold in this country where now there
are forty.
| There is very famous brand of
coffee now before the public called
Lion Coffee, which has come into IA
vor with consumers, not alone because
Of its purity and high quality, but by

A Curious Accident.

A very peculiar, and decidedly ex-
penses accident happehed at Westport
on Saturday last, entailing no little
loss upon Mr.. McCready, who teaches
the public schools of that village. He
narrowed buggy, a right new one of
Mr.. Porket, manager of the elevator,
for the purpose of coming to this city.
He drove over in the forenoon accom-
panied by young lady, Miss McMil-
Ian, and while here made number of
purchases. Upon their return they
reached the Beaudreau farm in the
early evening, and stopped to call
upon Miss Jones. Mr.. McCready un-
hitched the horse, leaving the buggy in
the yard near the barn. After supper,
when ready to go home, he went out to
find that the buggy, robes and all his
purchases, valued in all at about $3.50,
had been destroyed by fire. A lantern
which had been used beneath the robes
for keeping the occupants of the buggy
warm during the drive, left burning,
had exploded. The escaped oil took
fire with this disastrous result. That
the barn and sheds near were not des-
troyed is very remarkable; and fort
I'm ate feature is that the buggy with
| the horse attached was not hitched I'M
der the shed as was the original pur-
pose. Notwithstanding the ludicrous
side to this curious accident, deep
sympathy is felt for Mr.. McCready,
who can i'll afford the pecuninary loss.

Free Delivery of Rural Mail.

The outcome of the agitation for tn,
free delivery of mail in farming dis
tricts is one of the most remarkable
occurrences in the history of this coun
try, says the st. Paul Pioneer of last
week. 1t will be remembered by many
that, at first, free delivery in cities,
was expected to saddle an immense
burden on the government, but expert
ence proved that after it was once es-
tablished the increased business not
only paid for the delivery, but actually
produced a surplus revenue. Free de-
livery was therefore rapidly extended
to small cities, and now it is only the
| villages that do not have free delivery
of mail at least once per day. Ten
years ago even the advocates of rural
delivery expected it would increase the
deficiency of the post-ofice depart
ment. At least two postmaster gen.
erals have refused to expend appropri-
ations made to give rural delivery a
trial, because it was so manifestly i'm
practicable. Congressman voted for a
trial appropriation to please country
constituents, not because they expected
it would prove feasible. But expert
ment has not only proved it a practi-
cal method of distributing the mails,
but it is clearly demonstrated that by
making changes in star route methods
and abolishing small post-ofices, which |
free delivery will render unnecessary,
free rural delivery will not be bur-
den to the government, and with only |
a moderate increase in business, will |
produce profit to the depart
ment. Wherever it has been intro
duced it cannot be discontinued with.
out raising such clamor that congress-
men will be forced in self-defense to
have it reinstated. The demand for it
IS already general, and no opponents
are in sight except small postmasters
and saloon-keepers, who fancy that free
delivery will keep their customers at
home. This is one of the reforms
which reach the farmer, the effect of
which is good and only good. Several
'outes have been in operation in Wash
ngton and Dakota counties, near St.
Paul, and there is only one opinion
smong all classes, except those men,
Toned above, in regard to their con-
;inuance. There is no doubt about it's
'apid extension into every fairly well
settled rural district, provided the
farmers themselves ask for it. The
Farmer has already published the
by which free delivery may
De secured, whenever the available ap-
make it possible to estab-
ish routes. It is likely that much
arger appropriation will be secured
his year, and the more applications
and the more pressure from the farm
Ing districts, the sooner congress will
pass such laws as will extend the bene-
fits of free delivery to every part of the
where the population is suffi-
Gent to warrant it. Free delivery
means an advance in land values, in
creased intelligence, closer relations
between city people and the country,
better roads, and the saving of valuable
time to the farmer and and his family. |
