THEY WORK
WELL TOGETHER

The Democrats think to make a
great point by asking if the Re-
publican party can claim the credit
for the sunshine and rain which have
given US such SPLENDID crops during
the administrations of Nc Kinley and
Roosevelt. Such claim, however, is
not made by the SPLENDID increase Of
our corn crop of about five fold and
our six fold increase of wheat are due
to natural conditions, and that full
credit should be given to the All
Wise Providence, who has through
his sunshine and rain brought about
this enormous increase in our agri-
cultural products. But The Re
publican party does make claim to the
increase in price which the farmer
now receives for his splendid crops,
over the low prices which he received
during the last Democratic admin
istration. That is where Providence
and protection work SO we'll together.
Moreover, the Republican party
does, make claim, and can well
substan tiate it, that our thirteen fold
increase of manufactures under the
operation of protection, has been
entirely due to that policy which has
built up home market. Our advance
in industrial supremacy will continue
for many years to come in the same
proportion as it has done during the
first forty years of Republican
administration, and the operation OF
tariff that protects both labor and
canital

THE DOCTOR TAKES
APARTNER

DR.. VIM. o. Blanchar, of Chicago,
and Or. Humphrey of this city, have
formed a partnership, which is to
take effect on or before the 10Th day
of December. These are two able
physicians and they will constitute
strong company. DR.. Bianchor has
recently served a year and one half
in one Of the prominent hospitals in
Chicago, and is considered a man of
more than ordinary ability. DR..
Humphrey is we'll known in our city
and enjoys splendid practice. They
are each specialists along certain
lines While there are several physi-
clans in our city we believe there is
room for these two physicians to do
an excellent business.

Some people in Grand Rapids want
all foreign born citizens to quit being
Scandinavians, Germans, Irish and so
on. and all be Americans. The
suggestions is all right. but did you
ever think no man is responsible for
his birthplace or his nationality, and
whether he was born in Scandinavia,
Ireland. or America, is neither to bis
credit nor his blame. If he resides in
Wisconsin he should be an American,
enance any attempt to make a
political or religions issue of nation
ality.

We will discontinue this branch
of our business on October 81.
We have done nice business in
Grand Rapids, but our business
interests elsewhere compels us
to abandon this field for the
present. We have seven pianos
in stock which we offer at abso-
iute cost, on small monthly pay
ments or for cash. We have sold
the Kimball and Hallett & Davis
Piano to the most accomplished
musicians in Grand Rapids; dur
ing the past week we have sold
Mr.. 7. G. Hamilton a Kimball
piano and we sold the Misses
Belle and Blanche Harding a Kim
ball piano. Miss Belle Harding
is an accomplished pianist, and
she selected a Kimball for her
own use. We have duplicate
of Miss Harding's piano left in
stock, and you can buy it and
save $1OO. This may be your
last opportunity to get a high
grade piano at cost, on easy
payments. We have an elegant
Hallett & Davis Piano left in
stock. We sold one to Mrs. c.
IS. Whittlesey. Ask her how she
likes it.

DEADLY PNEUMONIA.
Increase in Death Rate Caused by
Dread Disease.

ObSSoSS
Public Opinion: During the first six
months of 1904 the percentage OF deaths
from pneumonia compared with the to-
tai number of deaths in the city of
New York was 1873. am increase from
l4.7 in the first half of 1898. This is the
highest rate recorded, the next being
1874 in 1900. In no other year has it
risen above IL. The same increase is
shown by decades. the rate per thou

being go, from 1874 to 1884, 2.51. from
1884 TO 1894. 2.gS. a much greater in
crease is expected for the decade now
ending. Pulmonary tuberculosis is cN-
cluded from these statistics. Last
June the board of estimates and appol-
tionment of New York city appro-
prlated $4,000 for an inquiry into the
cause and prevention of pneumonia,
and the commission has organized and
begun its work under the direction of
the New York board of health. The

Will be national in its scope. The prob
lem of prevention of the spread of acute

Gently by DR.. Biggs for the New York
Herald:
There IA nov be no question that
the exciting cause i'll each one of the
diseases of this group is Il micro-organ-
ism Which requires such conditions for
It's growth and multiplication as are
found in the living body. These organ
lsms practically dc not multiply ut all
outside of the tissues or cavities of the

infection therefore must practically al
ways be the result OF communication,
directly or Indirectly. from one human
being to another. The conclusion. then.
are essentially communicable, and
however great the inherent difficulties
OF the problem may be. theoretically
at least they should be to u greater or
less extent ~preNentable. The difficult

largely from the wide distribution of
these organisms. Srteptococci. pneu-

very large extent in the respiratory

preferred. Then prepare a strip of board
six or eight inches wide, bore a hole
through which to pass the shaft, notch
both ends to fit over the handle of the
kettle and at one fix a slide and a set

of the food for stock is done away from
the house, as it ougt to be, one should

which to set the kettle. The illustration

Chinese Goinu,

In fifty years-perhaps less than fifty.
if the present laws remain in effect and
are rigidly eX~ecuted-the Chinese pop
ulation of the United States will be-
come practically extinct, according TO
the views of w. S. HARDWOOD in the De-
cember Worlds Work. From 1890 to 1900
they fell away from 126,77S to l19,05O, q
decrease of nearly 5000, or more than
6 per cent. In the fiscal year ending
June SO, 1905. more than 1000 voluntar-
lily left II port of San Francisco for
the LAND of their birth, the total deport-
ed and returning voluntarily being
1920.
A generation ago there were in San
Francisco from 80, 900 to 10000 China
men. The Chinese consul general there
told me that. counting men. women and
children. there are now not 10, 900.
The total number of Chinese now in
the United States includes 2G,767 in
Hawaii and 3,116 in Alaska. so that at
the beginning of this decennial period
there were living in the United States
roper only $4,000. A generation ago
there were at least $50. 900.
The main adult population is male.
is unmarried. or at least wifeless in
America, and is RAPIDLY approaching
old age. Thus b. 1880 or 1910 the mali
Chinese life in America will be extinct.

is being done by the several agricultural
colleges of the country by their shor, WIN
ter courses. Nearly every college devoted
10 agriculture in the country has now Il
winter course and no one interested in
can make better use of a por-
ton of the winter than attending one of
these short courses. We may sheer at
book farming or scientific farming as we
will. the fact remains that by The applica-
ton of a little of the scientific
knowledge obtainable at one of these wiz
ter courses to the practical knowledge al
ready possessed, the road 10 success will
be much easier to travel. Few of these
colleges make any charge to the residents
of the state in which ii is situated beyond
that for board, and in most of the places
board can be had for s. or ST Il week, so
that $40 or 500 at the most will enable
anyone to take this short coure in agri-
culture. The money expended will be re-
gained the following season. but beyond
that It will open the eyes OF any farmer,
Dung, middle aged or old, TO the possible
ties of scientific farming which after all
is only another name for Intelligent farm
ing. If You, reader. are Interested write
