The Common Sense of Circulation.

In this endof the-century a publish
er's word on the circulation of his paper
is not worth consideration unless it is
backed up with willingness to show
absolute proof of that circulation. To
buy space in paper is merely the indi-
cation by so many lines or inches Of
what the advertiser wants to say. The
money paid is for the circulation of
that space.
The claim of many publishers that it
is merely space they sell, and that the
advertiser has no right to think of the
circulation that space gets, is becoming
to be looked upon as the merest tom
myrot. Any newspaper that refuses to
show an advertiser proof of b circu a
tion has something to hide, and in every
case it will be safe to say the reason is
that the newspaper is claiming a circu
lation it has not got, and is therefore
obtaining money under false pretenses.
The day is fast coming when such
newspapers will be placed where they
belong by all wise advertisers. There
are plenty of good newspapers chat you
can be sure are giving you a good re-
turn for your money. Those are the
ones to patronize.

Slightly Mistaken,

The Milwaukee Sentinel today in an
article commenting on the absence of
Mayor Rose from the CITY, says the city
had to run itself, but it had precedent
in this city. 1t says:
.,Of course, there is the city of Wa
tertown to provide precedent. Way
back in the early days Of the statehood
Watertown bounded itself beyond re-
demption to the interest of railroads,
and in order to avoid the processes of
law existed year after year with 40
other government than that of city
marshal. They went through with the
form of an annual election. The may
or and board OF aldermen on receiving
their certificates of election, met in
some out of the way places, took the
oath of Office, transacted all the bust
ness necessary to carry the city through
for year at q single session, ard ut its
conclusion rendered their designations
to the marshal and when the officers Of
the law undertook to serve their pro-
cesses they could not find any city gov
eminent upon which to perform their
dutles.h
The Sentinel is slightly mistaken.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys.
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

by the adoption of constitution and

More than 700 OF these attended the

join en- masse but could not because
each member must sign the constitu

FARMING MATTERS.
Can Feed Too Much Corn.

According to some Australian ex-
periments with hogs fed upon a ration
solely OF corn, the quality OF pork pro-
duced was soft and very fatty. The
conclusions reached were that while
corn is most useful feed in conjunc.
ton with other grains. milk and pas
turage, IL is not a desirable feed In n
self alone, when the production of
commercially valuable bacon is
sought.
In Germany, where pork and sau-
sages may be regarded as almost the
staple meat of the people, there have
been as high as 100000 bushels of
corn imported annually for use in pork
production. The great proportion of
liquid fat or oil in the corn is believed
to be the cause of the poor quality of
pork produced. Many of the German
pig-raisers are now substituting other
grains. principally barley and rye,
In Canada the government expert
ment station has found that an exces-
siye use of corn lowers the market
price of the bacon in British markets
The rapid expansion of the dairying
industry, with enormous quantities OF
skim-milk on hand, creates a valuable
field for hog raisers. since this by
product is rich in proteids or lean
meat producers.
