This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and a remedy that has had the largest
sale Of any medicine In the world since
1858 for the cure and treatment OF Con-

without losing its great popularity all
these years, yon viii be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are 30 many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there Is difficult ex-

The leaves of green plant are chief

lie sunlight in building up plant sub,

and simple salts. Deciduous forms and
evergreens have been evolved on diff

On the approach of autumn the for

into their trunks and branches. a layer
of cork is then developed across the
base of each leaf, which afterward

These changes do not take place in
evergreens, for these possess tough
leathery leaves capable of resisting
frost, which are shed gradually all the
year round as they become old and eff

The Old Jewish wedding Ring

The old time Jewish wedding ring
was quite a pOnderous affair of tligree
gold, enameled in colors. A dome OF
temple in miniature. which rose from
the middle of the hoop, was favorite
device. Sometimes the hoop was about
three-quarters of an inch wide and had
raised edges.
One ring of this kind is described by
an authority as having five elevations
on the upper part. the center a hex
agonal tower, with penthouse roof slop.
ing down to the hoop, the gables and
sides pierced with fourteen holes, or
windows. and the roof scored to imi-
tate tiles. On either side of this was a
smaller tower without windows. No
other ring could find room on a WON
ans finger besides this.

New Buildings for DecOrah.

There will be something doing in
Decorah in the building line this sum-
mer as usual. The completing of the
court house is demanding the services
of quite force of men, work now be-
ing pushed on the roof and tower, in
order to inclose the building as soon
as possible. The fire proof partitions
on the first and second floors have
been erected. and the electric wiring
is now being done. The contractor
expects no further delay from now on,
and will go ahead with the work with
all possible speed. The new Winnie
sheik hotel, which will be started by
the contractor July 1st, will also be a
big job, and as many local men as can
be will be used, and there will be
necessity OF goodly number. Be-
sides these two large structres are the
new residences of M. J.Soukup. o. A.
Anderson and Severt Larsen in Upde-
CRAFTS addition, which are now we'll
under way, and also one for Mrs. An
derson of Ossian, who will build on
this popular addition this summer.
Mrs. A. L.. Abbey will erect nice
residence on the old Kidder property
on the west side, which she now owns,
l.. A. Marsh has aheady begun his
new home on the lot next to his
mothers i'm West Decorah, and Oscar

Trzcinski two fine lots opposite the
West Decorah town hall, where he
will build a new home. Several other
residences are contemplated, nut we
are not permitted to mention them, as
the parties have not yet decided for
certain to build.' At all events. there
will be a good deal of building dur
ing the summer, and in each instance
the new structures will be modern
ones.

A Substantial Improvement.

One of the best pieces Of work we
have seen in some time by property
owners is the new stone abutment
crested by Peter johnson & Son and
L. j. Anderson, on the west side of
their Washington street pro. ersy.
During high water Dry Run has been
steadily cutting away their land, and
the old plank and piling placed there
by the city some years ago had be-
come useless. They have laid up a
solid, heavy stone wall from the
place where the run turns northward
nearly to the Broadway bridge, and
have filled in on top and back of it
with large rock, and clay. SO that it
now makes substantial bank, which
will prevent washing and will also
help to keep the water of the run
within its banks in case of high
water. We understand that they will
also plant willow trees at the base of
the stone wall, to act as a protection
and to keep the water from undermin-
ing the wall. 1t is splendid piece
of work. and will doubtless stand for
many years to come.
