The Best Remedy for Group.
(Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.l


This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group is
in demand in every neighborhood. One
of the most terrible things in the world
is to be awakened in the middle Of the
night by a whoop from one Of the chill
dren. The Group remedies are almost as
sure to be lost, in case of Group, as a re-
volver is sure to be lost in case of burg
lars. There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much. 1t
causes the patient to .throw up the
phlegm" quicker. and gives relief in a
shorter time. Give this remedy as soon
as the croupy cough appears and 1T will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by

The provision of American cotton
on September 1st. at the commence
ment Of the campaign of 1S99-1900 was
the largest we have ever seen, for 1t
amounted to 1,977, 900 bales, against
Sl4, 900 bales on Sept. LIST, 1902! The
difference therefore Is more than a
million balesI As for the cOnsump-
ton. we all know that it is at present
larger than three years ago.
The out of sight provision, that Is
to say, stocks in the hands OF spin
ners. was equally large In September,
1883, while 1t was limited to the last
degree in September, 1902.
1t is to be hoped that prophets of
an ii million bale crop minimum this
year will not be as far wrong as they
were In 1899. Having begun this sea-
son with the smallest possible visible
and invisible supplies. we absolutely
require a crop exceeding IL million
bales In order to avoid a repetition
of the season of 1S99-1900.
K. DEGENER-BoNING.
Havre, Oct. "a, 1902.
Our readers win make a special
note that the estimate OF 10H million
bales is positively stated to be ''con-
sentative and reasonable" and the
highest authority in the world states
that I'VE absolutely require a crop
exceeding IL million bales" There
fore, with an assured shortage OF
from \ to z million bales on the esti-
mate, and more than million less
bales In sight now than in lS99-1900,
there surely is no reason for Ourfarm
ers to sacrifice their present crop.

INCULCATING THRIFT
CHICAGO INSTITUTION THAT HAS
HAD SPLENDID RESULTS.
School Children Taught the Value o,
Their Spare Pennies-Money Saved
Always with View to a Definite
Purpose.

The recent report of penny savings
society, which has existed in Chicago
for four years, shows how successful
little side issues in the educational
way often are. During four years the
boys and girls of that city have pur
chased 2,574050 stamps, ranging in
denomination from one cent to fifty
cents and agregating $157 ,5SS.
The Chicago Penny Savings Society
is the outgrowth of suggestion made
in 1896 by the Rev. R. A. White, then
mittee. It's friends started it with
contributions amounting to s525, to
which $3.50 was added later, all to
provide equipment and money for run
ming expenses. In 1898 the board OF
education decided that teachers in the
public schools might act as agents for
the society and its mission since then
has been largely among school child
rem. Other stations have been opened,
however, in social settlements, charity
bureau offices, stores, missions, nurs-
cries. county schools and even in pri-
vate houses. There are about $50
such stations in Chicago at present,
where one may make deposits of one
cent and upward.
The purpose of the society is to
teach habits of thrift and self-denial.
1t aims to show children how they
may help themselves by saving their
money instead of wasting it on use
less things. 1t distinctly disavows any
intention of inculcating miserly hab-
it's, for it advises its depositors to
save their money with view to using
it for specific purpose. 1t teaches
the children that by saving pennies
wasted on sweets and popcorn and pea
nuts they may buy themselves books,
clothing and other useful things. One
vacation twelve children who had
never been outside of Chicago were
able to spend two weeks in the country
on their savings. In one school in
poor quarter the children saved $500
H. six months, and the boys alone were
able to equip school band with in
struments.

To-day a dozen smokestacks take their

ACTIVE PRINCIPLE OF TEAS.

rheine and the Small Amount Found
in Average Drink.
Theme is known to most people as
the active principle of tea, or that
substance which confers upon the cup
its cheering and stimulating proper
ties. Caffeine is the analogous prin-
ciple of coffee, although this latter
substance also occurs in tea. Some In
vestigations into the development
Of theme show that it is in the skin OF
covering Of the leaves of the plant in
their young state that the active prin-
:iple is best developed.
l have always been given to under
stand that the young shoots thus am
ply provided with theme, and repre-
senting the finest of the crop, are sent
10 Russia, where they fetch a high
price. What we get in this country
Is presumably the older leaf, with.
should say, less theme and a good deal
more tannin. 1t would be interesting
TO know what proportions Of theme
and tannin exist in some of the cheap
teas that are so largely consumed by
the British public. Theme itself Is q
nerve stimulant of undoubted power
but the quantity we get in our cups
is. of course, infinitesimal. Some
times, should say, it is SO microscopic
in amount as to render it doubtful
whether we can be cheered at all by
the tea tray festivities.
