The RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Benson's Plaster Is Pains Mastsf.)

From the natural impulse to put sorne-
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been pe'ul.
tees or plasters, and the best Of these 10
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything Ike the same
power as a curative agent; it il highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
Is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, 6trengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place Of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlativs meriA
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with,
Dty:tire highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-.
pay postage on any number ordered In ths,
United States on the receipt Of 25c. -
Accept no imitation or substitute.

AS the years go by l am pleased to
note that more farmers write letters
on printed letter heads and have
their cards on their envelopes. 1

unless he was engaged in the pro-
duction OF some speciality or breed

Rural Mail Delivery.

Rural mail delivery is being extend
ed through the sou tn, as well as ev-
erywhere else practicable in the Unit-
ed States. Next to money put upon
schools and good roads, the use of
public funds for free delivery of mail
to farmers every day is the best prac-
tical service government can render
for taxes, direct or indirect, laid up
on the people.
This advance in the public service
will be kept up till the limit is reach
ed where every family who tills the
soil, unless on mountains or deserts
remote, has their mail delivered in
their box or at their door And the
"special delivery" inaugurated by
Postmaster General Villas, in 1886,
through the use of the blue ten cent
stamp will be expediated SO that
postmasters will be required to de-
liver promptly all letters bearing the
ten cent special stamp to any place
within two miles of the receiving of
fice. Eventually regular postage will
be one cent and drop letters, circu-
lars, etc, half-cent. And the time
isn't far distant-191O or before.
Merchants have reason to believe
and argue now that rural free deliv-
cry hurts the town from which the
delivery IS made. Perhaps it's be-
cause they haven't the same Satur-
days and Mondays trade, not so
many country people being in town.
Doubtless the newncss Of the conven-
fence keeps many at home now; but
this in time will wear off and those
who seek either trade or pleasure
will go to town as they formerly did.
True, having their mail delivered,
they will often save a trip TO town
by buying some sugar, coffee or 9th
er staples of the country or cross
roads stores; but in the wind-up this
doesn't hurt the city dealers who
carry larger and better assortment
of fresher orlater tyled merchandise,
groceries, dry goods, queensware,
shoes, millinery, fresh meats, hard
ware. tobacco and cigars, farm i'm
plements, buggies, wagons, drugs,
handmade tailor goods, and SO on.
The country fellow who goes to
town just to get his mail spends lit
tie or none as a rule on the trip; he
carries lunch or hurries home for
dinner or supper. He doesn't pat
ronize either the photographer, the
shoemaker, the dentist or the livery
inn-keeper; he lets his horse stand al
the hitch-rack and drives or ride:
home without it being fed or shod.

Albright was certainly a magnifi-
cient worker for the youth of our
land, and who knows how many
useful and brilliant careers he has
started on their way? And when he
is forgotten by men, a great many
OF us will be forgotten. But there
is one sweet consolation, and that
is God never forgets. And away
out in the future many a man, high
up in the councils of the state and
nation, who has felt his helpful hand
and the magic of his noble spirit,
will rise up and call him blessed.

On their Way Home From South Africa. -
Say the War is Not Over.

In letter written to DIR. Porch,
dated at Cape Town. Homer Porch
announces that he is now on his
way home, and that he expects to
reach here this month. The letter is
dated December 4, and among other
things says:
81 leave tomorrow for England,
and expect to reach the States in
January if possible. The war is not
over yet, in Africa, can assure you.
England recruits a man for every
one she discharges, and is desperate
in her attempts to hold the colonial
corps that was recruited in South
Africa. The Free States is worse
now than it was six months ago.
De Wet goes around them like a
hoop around a barrel"
Homer Porch has been in Africa
about a year, and Immediately upon
reaching there enlisted in the British
service against the Beers. He was
accompanied to that country by
George Crump, of Harrison. but
does not say anything about his
companion in the letter. 1t is
presumed, however, that the boys
will return together.-Eureka Echo.

Congress Is Expensive.

Congress is quite an expensive in
stitution even when it is viewed on
the standpoint of its own maintain
ance. 1t costs four million year to
provide running expense money and
pay salaries. OF this only an eighth
goes to the senate. For reporting
the proceedings alone costs 100000
year, while stationary and print
ing costs $4,000 year, and in this
item must be considered the fact that
the government buys stationary i'll
as large lots and at rates the great
est of jobbers get ami that the gov
ernment does practically all of it's
own printing, so that for congress it
is reckoned at actual cost. Fuel and
light cost SO 600 and police $35.-
600 year, which is the same as it
costs to fold the documents of con-
gress, For new furniture and re-
pairs to old costs $50, 900 year.
Salaries of employees of the senate
are liberal and range from $5, 900
for the secretary on down. The chief
clerk of the house gets 81, 500 and
has numerous assistants.
Aside from the regular salary of
5000 per year each member and
senator is allowed twenty cents for
each mile travels, going to congress
and returning home, for each session.
They are also given an allowance of
$125 per year for stationery, news
papers, and the like. Popular men,
bers use this fund in subscribing for
all the papers in their districts, es-
pecially those of their own party.
The stingy ones usually pocket the
fund.
If a members term begins in March,
as is the case unless he is elected to
fill out an unexpired term, he can
draw So 600 at the beginning of the
regular session IN December. provid-
ed he took the oath OF office in the
preceding March, and it is but just
to the vigilance of our congressman
to say that it is very rare that they
overlook this little matter OF detail
of being sworn into Office. During
recess they are paid by warrants on
the treasury. but during sessions
they are paid in cash by the sergeant
at arms.
Congress exists two years, and the
term of each senator is six years, SO
arranged that the terms of about
one-third expire every two years.
Regular sessions are held once each
year. Congress is quite an institu-
tion when we contemplate it by it
self. 1t is no wonder there is some
hesitancy about increasing the num-
ber of it's members, for each new one
means an additional expense gilmore
than the salary amounts to and an
increase of number would mean
more employees, so that the cost
would be enormously increased.

TALK ON MOSQUITOES.
DR.. Stubs Delivers Interesting Ad.
dress Concerning Them.

DR.. Ralph P. Stubs delivered an in.
teresting talk on mosquitoes at the open.
ing exercises in the new High School
yesterday morning. After the singing OF
a selection by the school and the Lords
Prayer by the Rev. Martin B. Dunlap .of
Old Swedes Church, Principal A. H, Ber-
lin introduced DR.. Stubs.
He discussed the discovery that mos
qutoes carry malaria germs. This is true
Of only-one variety, which is known by
having four spots on its wings and by
the way it clings to wall or ceiling. 1t
clings with it's body OF right angles to
the wall or ceiling, whereas the harmless
mosquito clings with its body parallel to
the wall or ceiling. 1t is the female mos
quito that bites.
Some scientific gentlemen went to
Rome and lived in malarial district in-
tested with mosquitoes, but avoided be.
ing bitten. They escaped malaria. They
took some mosquitoes back to England
with them. One OF these had bitten
man who had malaria, and it was al
lowed to bite healthy man in England.
Not long after, that man had malaria.
The harmful variety Of mosquitoes
generally lives in country or swampy
districts. As rule the mosquitoes that
live in town are harmless so far as carry.
ing malaria is concerned.
After eeveral pupils had given selec.
tons from James Whitcopb Riley, the
exercises closed with singing.
Among the visitors were Mrs. Lindley
C Kent, Mrs. Herschel A. Norris and
Mademoiselle Fourez.
