How to Prevent croup.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
iain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is, in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleas
ant and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

BUILDER OF THE ROBERT DoDDs
And Her Master for II Years
Other News of Big
Stream.

| /. Capt. George Brasseau, one of the
oldest river pilots on the upper Mis-
sissippi. died at his home in Still
water of cancer, aged 40 years. He
was until recently captain of the
steamer Gypsy and a steamboat pilot
on the Mississippi and ST. CroiX rivers
since 1887. He had been a resident of
Saltwater for the past 40 years. Dur
| ing the past season he worked on the
Mississippi as a raftboat pilot.
Capt. Brasseau was the builder of
she rafting steamer Robert Dodds,
which boat towed logs for the Joyce
mills of Clinton and Fulton until she
was sold last year and was taken into
southern waters. He was master of
the Dodds for II consecutive seasons
while the craft was towing logs for
st. Louis milling firm. He also ran on
the rafter Cyclone. remembered by
Rock Island people, but which has not
been seen in these waters of late
years, having been taken north for
the packet business between st. Paul
and Wabasha. Capt. Brasseau was
well known to members of the local
rivermen, all of whom learned with
regret of his death.
River Closed In North
The Lacrosse Press says: ice is
fioatitg in the river today and there
is reason to believe that the Missis-
sippi will soon close if the present
weather condition continue. Reports
from north of here are to the effect
that the river in some places is clog
ged with floating ice and that the
small streams tributary To the Mis-
Sissippi are frozen over. Lake Pepin
closed Wednesday night. which was
the same date of closing last year.
Two inches of ice covers the harbor.
Pilots Not Enthusiastic
\ well-known Clinton riverman, in
speaking to Herald reporter the
other day, remarked that the meeting
of the pilots of the upper Mississippi
river, which was to have taken place
last Tuesday at Lacrosse, was not
held, there being such a small attend
ance that it was decided not to at
| tempt to hold the convention. This
is unlike the spirit displayed by the
pilots few years ago" he said. Il
remember the last meeting of the pi
lots of the upper river held in Clinton.

dozen or so only being present from
the whole stretch of the upper Mis-
sissippi. between st. Louis and St.

form on the Second street side of the
Revere house. which was their head
quarters, and arranging themselves
upon it, had their picture taken. Cop
les of that picture can be seen in the
home of nearly every riverman along
the upper river. The pilots attended
the meetings in large numbers those
days, but now the interest seems to
have died out entirely and it is hard

men chance upon fortunes. The tort
unes we know about are not found but
founded on a certain substantial basis.
The nature of that basis of fortune is
we'll set forth in the advice given by
successful merchant to young man
who asked, vWhat is the first requisite
to making a forture?" wThe first re-
quisite to making a fortune" said the
rich man, "is health" "The idea that
fortunes are made suggests toll and in
dustry and skill. Nothing can be made
without these. But weak man cannot
toll, and industry is incompatible with
ill-health. IF you want to be strong
remember that all physical strength
comes from food and that the amount of
strength extracted from food depends
upon the ability of the stomach to di-
gest food and assimilate its nutrition.
The man who takes care of his digestion
is, in general, taking care of every other
organ of his body"
SUCCESS AND THE STOMACH.
The merchant who gave the above
opinion may not have been much of
physician but he was a good deal of a
philosopher. He had seen men with
success almost within the grasp, break
down because of vstomech trouble"
He had theorized the saying that the
vweakest must go 90 the wall +" into the
saying that "the man with the weakest
stomach must go to the WALL" because
no man is stronger than his stomach.
The man who viii learn this lesson of
success has taken great stride to his
goal. Health is the first prerequisite of
success and health in general means a
sound stomach and a good digestion.
Look at the logic of the matter. Food
is a mans life, his strength. Physical
life is sustained by food. But the fact
that thing can be eaten doesn't make
it food. Many physician practising in
the tenements of city says of failing
men or women, vWhat they need is
nom1shfng food" Shipwrecked men
eat scraps of leather, the bark of trees,
anything to satisfy hunger. But this is
not food in any true sense because it
contains no nutrition. All food must
be considered in relation to its nutritive
