PerIls of Our President.

All of our presidents have been in
the habit of mingling freely with the
people, usually without any particu-
lar precaution being made for their
safety. The danger of this has been
so emphatically pointed out in the
last few months that wise statesmen
suggest that the old plan be discon-
tinued. There is also cause for great
danger in many of the so-called rem
edies advertised for stomach, liver
and bowel complaints. The safest
medicine to take is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t has been before the
public for so years, and has always
been found safe and reliable in cases
of nervousness, insomnia, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia and malaria, fever
and ague. 1t therefore occupies the
foremost position in the list of house
hold remedies, and no family should
be without il.

sWITCHMAN'S CARD WAS
IN POCKET OF STOLEN VEST

Chief DarneIl has learned that the
switchman whose card was found in
the path of the escaping robbers
who attempted TO blow up bank at
Camden Point, Mo-, last week is
still i'm Davenport, and that the card
was in his vest that was stolen by
the. real robber while in Davenport
last fall.
When the switchman in question
saw the pictures of the men who
have been captured and held for the
crime, he readily picked out one of
them whom he said had taken his
vest containing the card, a number
of receipts and other papers.
The vest, he said, was stolen in a
saloon in Davenport. The name of
the party who took it was not
known, although the owner of the
vest was familiar with his features,
so the sending of the pictures here
with the object of identifying one
of the prisoners failed.

tablet form; druggists everywhere
admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
which they sell at so cents for full
size treatment is the safest. most eff
fective and popular of all catarrh
remedies.
Nearly all cheap cough mixtures
and throat lozenges contain opiates;
these cheap medicines give n temper
airy relief, especially with little chill
dren. by destroying nerve sensations;
the irritation in throat, which causes
coughing, is temporarily removed.
not by removing the cause, but by
deadening the nerves of feeling the
irritation is not felt, although it is
still there. and will promptly return.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is the best
remedy To remove catarrhal secre-
ton. whether in the nose, throat or
stomach, because they are composed
of wholesome antiseptics like red
gum, blood root. etc. When you use
these tablets you know what You are
putting into your system, and not
taking chances with cocaine, opiates-
or similar poisons found in so many
catarrh cures and cough medicines.
DR.. Ramsdell in commenting on
catarrh cures says: Il can heartily
recommend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
because they contain no cocaine nor
other dangerous drug found in so
many advertised catarrh cures. 1
have known of many cases of long
standing catarrh of the head and
throat completely cured by the daily
use of these tablets for several
weeks. One case in particular, which
could not reach with an inhaler or
spray and where the catarrh caused
daily headaches and n noticeable loss
of hearing was entirely cured by this
harmless but effective remedy"
DIR. Wainwright says: Il never hes
itate to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets for catarrhal headaches and
catarrhal deafness, because | know
them to be perfectly safe for child or
adult, and have seen many remarlla-
BILE cures resulting from their regu-
lar daily use; because they are adver-
tised and sold in drug stores is no
reason why any good physician
should not use them, because we
should seize upon the means of cure
wherever found
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are espe-
cially valuable for catarrhal colds in
children because they are pleasant to
the taste and may be used freely to
break up severe colds and Group at
the very beginning.

cents for full sized package.

1925 PEARL is FOUND
IN WAPSIE BY w. F. RUGE

w. F. Ruge, a young Walcott mer-
chant, was over at the Wapsie some
time ago. When he was ready to
start for his home he tossed about
score of CLAIMS in his hamper. At
home the mussels were tossed in a
heap near the door. Some time later
Ruge concluded TO open the CLAIMS
before thlEwing them away. In one
of them he found pearl as big as a
large pea, and almost nearly as
globular. This week he brought it
to Davenport and showed it TO Fred
NabStedt. When he left Mr.. Nab
stedt's he had S125 i'm his pocket in
stead of the pearl. Mr.. Ruge counts
his little claiming venture to have
been decidedly profitable one.

Catches Thought of Audience.


Miss Lancaster is mind reader
and she catches the thought infiu-
ence of an audience without touch
ing any of the members thereof. All
she asks is that the minds of those
in the room be centered upon the
act that she is attempting to per-
form. Although she responded sue
cessfully to all tests her hesitancy
on several occasions may be partly
ascribed to inconstant attention on
the part of a number in the audi
ence.
In the first test lady and gentle
man i'm the audience each touched
one of two bouquets that were on the
roStrum and Miss Lancaster was
then led biindfolded into the room
In short time she found the lady
and gentleman and determined which
of the two bouquets they had touch
ed. Two other tests were similar
to the first one and the fourth one
consisted in giving the number on a
bank note owned by party in the
audience. after it had been made pub
lie. In this case she was compelled
to touch several in the audience. but
she hnally gave the correct hgureS-
Reads From KIpIIng.

WIN spend 5000. GOO for BrIdges.

Over 100000 is to be expended by
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
road in new bridges. a large force
of engineers is now employed in the
general offices of the company in
Chicago working on the plans for
the structures. All of the bridges
will be of steel and will replace the
old iron and wooden affairs that have
become antiquated and are too light
for the heavy locomotives that have
recently been put in service on this
system. Bids are now being receiv-
ed by the company for nineteen
bridges. The total cost of these will
be about 100000. The structures
will vary in length from $50 to 3,1O9
feet. Eight of the truss bridges will
span streams on the new Kansas
City cutoff of this road. They will
all be between Muscatine and OF
tumwa, Iowa. a three-hinge ard3
bridge 21O feet in length will replace
the present one over the Menominee
river in Iron Mountain, Mich. A new
bridge will also be built at Kilbourne,
Wis. The most expensive work will
be over the Mississippi river at La
Crosse, Wis. There three new spans
will be built. The total length of
these will be 3,1O9 feet. At that
point the river is in three channels.

Education in Agriculture

1t is interesting to note how rapidly
education in agriculture is coming to
the front. The British government
has decided to select number of prom
inent Boer farmers and send them to
Australia, New Zealand and Canada,
where they can be taught modern and
scientific methods of agriculture. This
scheme will probably do more to pre-
serve peace and establish British influ-
ence than the most generous treaty and
legislation of any character. In France
the development of agricultural educa-
ton is something remarkable. School
gardens and small experimental farms
are being largely used for practical
demonstration of the value of certain
manures and for the choice of seeds, as
well as to teach grating and budding
of trees aud vines. Long excursions
are taken, during which time the
pupils make rough notes of what the
teacher explains, as well as what they
find out themselves. Plants are taken
lone to be set out in botanical gar
dens around the school houses.

YIELD OF WELL-TiLLED SOIL

AS to what the soil may be made to
produce under the most enlightened,
progressive and scientific methods, we
have some interesting facts and figures
presented i'm the work "Fields, Fac
tories and Workshops" by Prince Kra-
potkin, the Russian economist. Ac-
cording to Leslie's Weekly, the state
ments in this work are based chiefly
on the results of intensive agriculture
in parts of France, Italy and Belgium
and the islands of the English channel.
these methods the soil of Belgium sup
plies with home grown food no less
than 400 inhabitants per square mile,
with large overplus for export, not
less than $1,000 600 worth of agricul-
tural produce being sent to great Brit
ain every year At this rate of produc-
ton New York state alone would sup
ply food for over 23,000,0 900 people and
have a large surplus for export, and from
the soil of Texas sufficient could be
produced to sustain a population nearly
double that of the United States.
Numerous instances are cited in this
volume where eighteen tons of hay
have been gathered from single acre,
and others where the same area has
been made to yield from $500 to 1900
bushels of potatoes, these crops being
from six to ten times as large as the
average yield of American farms. Still
more astonishing are the results at
tanned under glass-house culture, so ex-
tensively followed in Belgium and the
Isle of Jersey, one crop succeeding an.
other there the year around. BY this
method one area of thirteen acres in
Jersey is cited where the money re-
turns obtained in year were declered
to be equivalent to what an ordinary
farmer would obtain from |, 300 acres oil
land.

Chicago the Fourth Biggest Port

Considering that Chicago is an inland
fourth among the ports OF the world,
but such 1t is, according to the latest
figures. The shipping figures of the
seven largest ports are; London, 49,
529,095 tons; New York, 16,445, 800;
Hamburg, 14,19S,Sl7; Chicago, 14,lS6,-
100; Antwerp, 13,573,472; Liverpool,
1l,81S,O00, and Marselles, 1929, ia.
The extension of the lake traffic has
added greatly to the commerce not
only of Chicago, but also of the other
lake ports. Last year 100000 bushels
of wheat passed through the $500"
canal, as against 1916, 705 in 1871.
